Re: Bricklink Orders actual end total fees importing to Cana

I've made about 60-70 Bricklink orders - most from the USA, some from Canada and a few from Europe (Poland, Germany). All my orders have shipped by regular post from the country of origin, and I've never paid import duties, taxes, brokerage, etc on them. I'd say most orders have the green customs s...

Re: Amazon Canada Now has a Toy Department (with LEGO)

I was thinking the same. However, if I'm planning a trip across the border and the factors are right (sale pricing and a high Canadian dollar) I would still order from US Amazon.

Re: sears 35% off

If you login through RedFlagDeals they have Sears.ca as a cashback store at 1.25%.
For those of you expecting prestine condition packages from Sears you can forget about it. They come shipped in Sears branded plastic bags.

Re: [Canada] Zellers 40% off ALL LEGO - This Week's Sale

I checked both Brentwood and Oakridge this morning... Nothing "good" left. The only things I saw were City Ambulances, Mining Trucks (TONS of them), Fire ATV, Alien Conquest Motherships, Ewok Attack, Battle of Naboo, and some other misc. stuff like hero factory and the small racer sets. I...

The 30% off from a couple of weeks ago was pretty good, but I didn't really see anything that I wanted then; mostly stuff in the 'meh' category. With 40% off and (hopefully) a decent coupon, I could see myself pulling the trigger on some of them. Would be killer if they had some of the newer stuff,...

Re: 20% off Lego at Canadian Tire

I've only seen CT have Lego during the Christmas season. After New Year's Day they generally mark down all of their toys but I've never seen Lego get marked down by much.

Re: Toys R Us Pricing Mistake PM Potential??

Just check Walmart.ca for the stores in your area that have stock.
Price matching price errors is not an uncommon practice if you frequent sites like Redflagdeals.

Toys R Us Pricing Mistake PM Potential??

http://toysnbricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Toys-R-Us-Canada-Logo-TnB.jpg Just flipped through the latest Toys R Us flyer for Nov. 9-15 and on page 12 they have 20% off Creators, Basic and Technic sets. However, if you look closely at the last item set #4635 Fun with Vehicles it says the regu...

Re: [Canada] 40% off Lego at Sears (unadvertised)

Well you'll get your chance. Brentwood location in Burnaby, BC has increased the discount off ALL toys to 50%. Not much left at Brentwood. Saw Palpatine's shuttle, T6 shuttle and another smaller SW set.
I picked up a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle for a buck.

Re: [Canada] 40% off Lego at Sears (unadvertised)

If you have a Sears credit card you might want to check your last bill for a 10% off coupon. I was able to get an extra 10% off after the 40% discount. Not much but pretty close to paying the taxes.

Anyone check out the Brentwood Sear's? They have a small toy area but it does have Lego. Update 8/6: Confirmed Brentwood store has Lego at 40% off. A few different Star Wars set and not much of anything else. In fact, all toys are 40% off their last ticket price. Good time to pickup some Christmas p...

Re: LEGO London Olympic Minifigures Available Worldwide

Be careful. I just did a Google search and I found a reference from Feb 2011 of someone in Alberta, Canada receiving a $240 order with a $63 import tax. There might be some unexpected hefty customs/brokerage charges. Plus they don't remove the VAT for non-EU buyers.

Re: [Canada] Sears.ca Outlet: 30/40% off July 3-5

It is a good deal, but too bad they ship the items in the LEGO box itself. :( I don't imagine this would be the kind of set you'd want to keep as the whole model or for collecting purposes. This set is better suited for mining the parts (nice variety of blues, limes and bley's) for your MOC or resa...

Not much of a savings but it says free ground shipping and they're also giving away a $10 NCIX.com gift card while supplies last. They have other sets listed as well but...
