Re: A couple of clearance sets at Walmart - 30% off

Somewhat off topic, but does Walmart normally have item scanners? I had a really hard time finding one, so had to go to the self-check aisle, scan a few things, and then go put them back. I did find one today in the back to school section though on a post. Just wondering, if other people have had th...

Re: A couple of clearance sets at Walmart - 30% off

I saw about 5 items in the lego aisle that had red clearance tags on the price, not on the box. They were out of everything except the toy story items. (Osgood - Fremont, CA store)

Re: Smashed up Diagon Alley Box

I also received a banged up Red Cargo Train, I'll take your advice and ship them over a nasty-gram.

Thanks..

Re: TRU CONTINUES BOGO 50% OFF FROM 7/24-7/30

I would call them and explain that they cancelled the order, and ask if you can still take advantage of the offer. Most likely, they will accommodate. I realize you are overseas and mentioned you can't call, have you tried google voice or skype? I know some people overseas that have had success that...

Re: 75% off at Target on clearance Lego sets!

Checked San Jose North, the clearance aisle was there, but someone had cleaned out the Lego's already. Had asked an employee, and he directed me to where they "were". Nothing in Newark, or the Fremont store, didn't necessarily find an area where they might have been either though at the la...

Re: [USA] K-Mart 50% Off Clearance

All I found at the Hayward, CA K-Mart was

1 8085 Freeco Speeder for 9.50
and I believe the Toy Story 3 trash compactor for 9.50.

Not impressed, maybe someone wiped them out already. They had a nice stock of the new LEGO items though..

Picked up the Tank Truck @ 30% off in the Fremont, CA target. Stopped at the Newark target as well, they had the 3181 plane still at 30% off. Not many other deals in either store.

[USA] TRU - Newark, CA Closing

I missed the boat here, I went to check on stock of the extended BOGO 50% off sale, and found out the store was closing. All Lego's were 10% off, but starting this week, they were not participating in the same sales, since they are liquidating. I explained, that's ironic since the normal stores have...

Re: Cafe Corner and Green Grocer - Part Out or Pony Up?

I feel this is largely up to your financial situation. If $1000k would make a difference, meaning you could buy more legos, or do something else that you couldn't now, that weighs heavily. If it doesn't matter too much, and you'd rather have something that would be difficult to replace, then I would...

Re: Help me w/ Ebay purchasing!

Hmm.. Has anyone had any experience/issues with counterfeit lego's on ebay? I've seen a couple of overseas sellers (china/singapore/hong kong) that are selling things pretty cheap in comparison to US prices. I am cautious to stay away from them, but curious. They have 99% to 100% positive feedback a...

Re: [USA] - TRU - Red Freight Train (3677)

Finally got a shipment confirmation from TRU. Was able to use the BOGO 50% off that was cancelled before, as well as stacked with free shipping and a free snowman.

RSS?

Was a change made in the last 2 weeks that might have impacted the RSS feed for the better?

I was missing a lot of topics in the feed, and messages, but now I am seeing much more traffic.

Just curious, in case it happens again.

Thanks

Re: [USA] Target half lego inventory on clearance 15% - 50%

Stopped by 2 targets today while out shopping. I hit the San Jose North one earlier last week. The first was in Fremont (Fremont Hub). Pretty much same things at the SJN one, mostly everything at 15% off. Then I hit the one in Newark @ New Park Mall, they had the 3181 plane for 30% off, so I picked ...

Re: [USA] - TRU - Red Freight Train (3677)

Thanks for the heads up.. I was worried it wouldn't be available until August. Just snagged that and Fire Brigade with the BOGO 50% sale that they noted on my account due to having issues placing an order with the FB before..
