Re: CMF Series 10 listed at TRU

TRU in Stevenson Ranch, California has one box.

The store has took to labeling the content (i.e. ID the minifigure) with Post-Its.

Probably pre-empting the Mr. Gold frenzy.

Re: Series 10 Now Starting to Appear at Target, ToysRUs, Wal

CMF 10 AVAILABLE and smooshing is not necessary (at my TRU anyway). TRU in Stevenson Ranch, CA has LABELLED each packet with post-it notes! The packet is sealed but the content is identified (see pic attachment). This is probably to prevent the total mashing and gnashing of the packets in the crazed...

Re: Friends 41015 Dolphin Cruiser, 41006 Downtown Bakery

The small 9.99 sets seem lackluster compared to the earlier small sets. It's a repeat of earlier sportscar and pet-patrol sets.

For $49.99 the school is also disappointing.

The most irresistible is the Dolphin Cruiser and that would set us back $69.99.

Re: Mr.Gold LEGO Minifigure Picture (71001 Series 10)

Does anyone know how many minifigures Lego produced per series? I want to count the odds.

e.g. If there are 5 million minifigures in Series 10 then the odds of getting Mr Gold would be 1 in 1000.

Re: LEGO Speedorz & LEGO Legends of Chima Themes for 2013

I have the same question as the prev. poster. Is it "China" or "Chima."

Regardless, if it is Asian inspired and include some buildings (i.e. architecture), I am happy.

Re: Target - Summer Clearan

Targets in Northern Los Angeles county (in California) suck!

Nothing significant at Target in Santa Clarita or Antelope Valley areas!

Their selection of Legos are paltry to begin with ....

Re: 20% OFF MSRP certain sets at Lego Store Ontario Mills, C

^ I've been wondering that myself. Since LEGO Stores are few and far between, I wonder what the practicality is of centralizing damaged sets to just one store. Space maybe? Is this store significantly larger than neighboring stores that they can create an actual 'sale' section so as to not take up ...

Some of them are big $200 set such as the Tower Bridge, Imperial Shuttle, Robbie House etc. See the ...

Re: [USA] Wal-Mart Clearance

I heard that Walmart has a "clearance allowance" and once that $$$$ amount is reached, items that are on clearance may be MOVE BACK to the shelf at MSRP!!!! Every WM has different allowance figure and it's at the manager's discretion how to use it. So that's why things are random and a bit...
