Re: Borders Lego Party Nov 6th

My son had fun @ this, me not soo much. Started exactly at 2pm, glad we were early. There were 30 kids and when a family showed up 10 minutes late the sales person politely told them that it was too late. At the end it was clear that she only had 30 prizes to hand out and that was why. She read some...

Re: [USA] LEGO at Aldis

Some divisions start thier "Special buy" stuff on sunday and others on Wednesday. I work at Aldi and we got quite a bit of each set. The last few years we got Lego for christmas we got maybe 12 of each set, this year we got at least 12 *CASES* of each set. Personally I hope they don't sel...

Re: Five Below store has 30040,7802,30031

Five Below has lego? Suprise they even have these since I thought they were exclusive to Target. This was only the 2nd time I have ever been in a Five Below. Wandered around to see what else they offered. On the DVD wall were Batman movies that included a mask and on them were stickers that said th...

Borders Lego Party Nov 6th

Was at Borders today killing time and noticed a sign that said Lego Party November 6th, 2pm. I couldn't get a lot of details from the sales associate but she thought my 6 year old would be ok at this as long as I was there to assist. Notice the sign says recommended ages 8-12. This was not my local ...

Re: [USA] LEGO at Aldis

I can confirm that my Aldi's in Cleveland, OH was advertising the same sets & prices.
Got the ad a few days ago and kept forgetting to post this.
I have not been back to the store to verify they actually have the sets in stock and the ad says the "sale" technically starts tomorrow.

Re: 2011 LEGO Star Wars

I was hoping for more gungans cause its "the battle of naboo" afterall right? Lego is starting to called all their sets "battle of...". Battle of Geonosis is basically a droid and a speeder. They could have done that to 7681 separatist spider droid too. Add a clone walker from t...

Re: Bricktober 500 TRU Event

We took my son today as well. They had two tracks and plenty of legos for all the kids. This is the 1st lego race we've been to but we did another TRU lego event earlier in the year. I can't remember what it was for but TRU was pushing the Lego games. Our TRU store is kind enough to have drawings fo...

Re: LEGO Store Black Friday?

Black friday sets are usually oos and no longer in production sets. So this rules out any hp sets. My first guess would have been PoP but I doubt there's enough stock anywhere to support a large sale @ every branch of a retail store. My 2nd guess would have been Toy Story but I really hope I'm wron...

Re: LEGO Store Black Friday?

Is it too early to speculate on what other stores may have for Black Friday deals?

Last year TRU had the Star Wars Twilight exclusive for about 40% off.

Target had an Indy set and Trolls warship. Wish I would have gotten those.

Harry Potter this year?

Re: Steal of a Deal (the thread for braggin')

Picked up #7570 Ostrich Race for $6 yesterday. Was at my local Marc's (discount store) looking for Halloween stuff and stumbled on one lonely box of legos. Looked like it had been driven over and then chewed on by a large animal but when I got it home everything inside was fine. My son already has t...

Re: TRU Holiday Express Stores

I don't know about the sales but one of these opened at a strip mall near me. It had a small selection of all name brand toys as well as junk. I wasn't impressed. The concept is apparently to save busy or lazy holiday shoppers from driving to the larger TRU store. The odd thing to me is that our big...

Re: Is the Collectible Minifigs series 2 furor over?

They're so plentiful we're putting them in my son's birthday handout gift bags this weekend, but no Spartans That's a great idea. Too bad my son's birthday party was in June. 13 six year old boys as guests, most of whom like lego. I'm tempted to hored a bunch of S2 for next year but with future ser...

Re: [2011 RUMOR] Pharaoh's Quest, like Adventurers

Everyone's different. I was playing with Lego in the late 70's and had nothing that even resembled a gun or weapon in my sets but I built Mad Max type cars and spaceships. My imagination supplied the bullets and lasers while many a minifigure met his doom. I also grew into a Star Wars and GI Joe Gee...

I found 30032 & 30042 on the Halloween shevles at Target in Cleveland, OH area today.
