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

Only one Target in Louisville had anything @ 50%. They marked down four nice POC sets to half off. Both Ultimate Build Cars 2 were 50% off, as was the sea rescue set. Several Castle and Creator pieces still parked at 30% off. It's funny that I've found the part of town where Legos go to die - in one...

That's awesome! I wish some of the stores had more recent updates, but this gives me a good insight into what they may have. Thanks so much Hodgeman!

Does PAB stock vary much per store?

I'm going to be making a trek across Ohio next week, and will be close to three Lego stores. I'm looking for a variety of bricks as I'm building a couple of modular houses with plans from eBay. If I hit one store, will the PAB inventory be pretty much the same at the other two, or should I hit all t...

LEGO - "No coupon for you!"

So I'd been reading all these great accounts of the 10% off coupon in the Summer catalog, and was happy to see the magazine in the mailbox today as I'll be by the stores in Cincinnati and Columbus OH next week. I was was disappointed however to find no coupon! I called LEGO, and initially they told ...

Would they still have access to something like this that would be 35 or so years old?

Need help in finding vintage Lego sticker sheet

I recently came across something in my parent's basement that made my heart skip a beat - parts of one of the very first Lego sets I ever received, the London Bus (I believe set 760 or 760-2). After some digging around and the use of a terrific parts list on Peeron, I've found each and every part. N...

Insights on building 10189 Taj Mahal

So I'm still sick over missing the Taj Mahal late last year, and it looks like the only way I'll be able to afford one now it go to the used route. However, I understand the parts came packed in separate boxes, and I'm looking for some insight on the build. When these used sets lump all parts togeth...

I am looking for the answer, too. I believe there is no match between UCS and 7965, coz' UCS does come with more detail. 7965. Check out this video from the German Toy fair at about :13 in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jY9CZ5EkYw&feature=player_embedded The Millennium Falcon they show there ...

UCS Millennium Falcon versus new Millennium Falcon 7965

So I'm tooling around last night and come across the news that there's a new Millennium Falcon coming out this summer. According to one site I found it's set number is 7695. I haven't been able to find a part count or price or much of anything as of yet. Anyone out there have any scoop on how this w...

I didn't know stores can ship. Do a...

Can anyone confirm they ever saw this set at a KMart location?

Re: How best to pack Legos for storage

Not sure what the fuss is about? Lego is meant to be taken apart and rebuild. Just store in ziplock bags. If you don't like rebuilding, get a new hobby! :d My house is very Grizwald-ian. Takes 2 days to take down our tree alone. I love building, but when these go up I need the process to be as hass...

How best to pack Legos for storage

I put together a small Lego Christmas village this year with the Village Bakery and Toy Shop along with a number of small pieces from the advent calender from the past two years. It's time to take it down, and I'm not sure about the best way to pack it. If I just throw it in a bin I'm sure a number ...

My kids and I are huge fans of your product.

I’m not one to write letters like this, as I used ...
