Anyone else find the Galaxy Squad mini mech in Orange County (besides the one reported in Torrance)? Checked Brea and Orange again and still nothing. Next closest to me is Santa Ana which I haven't checked yet. It's kind of far from the OC but there are two stores very close to each other in the Lo...

Anyone else find the Galaxy Squad mini mech in Orange County (besides the one reported in Torrance)?
Checked Brea and Orange again and still nothing. Next closest to me is Santa Ana which I haven't checked yet.

Looks like a minor clearance going on. In my search for polybags, I noticed a small amount of toys on clearance with dedicated shelf space. Of 3 Walmarts (Irvine, Brea, Orange) only 1 had a single LEGO game on clearance. Ninjago I think. Definitely a YMMV clearance.

No polys in So Cal at Irvine and Brea locations as of today. Mentioned above, there were some found at the Torrance location.

Anyone return to K-Mart after they already went and not found some of the items on clearance that are now on clearance. That's a mouthful, basically I'm curious if items not on clearance earlier this week were moved to clearance. There were a lot of items others found on clearance there weren't at m...

Here's what will happen.. at least at the Lego B&M stores.. The staff aren't dumb. When I went in to get Series 9, they had them all pre-sprted into bags, and they just grabbed whichever one the person buying minifigs wanted. Fair enough. Smart idea actually. These guys will molest the minifig ...

Good luck on trying to get the Golden Figure! (He's minifig #17 of the case.) Only 5000 are made so it is a treasure hunt. How many cases do you think they produce? 500,000? One gold figure per 100 cases? LEGO is pulling this trick starting with Series 10 and will also be in Series 11 and probably ...

Technically the "green" guy is a bug poly. I'm just shocked the Red Squad got hosed in the first wave sets wise. What do you mean hosed? I thought the red robot was the best of all of them. Red is in the next wave in a pricier set. Looks like they're mixing them up in terms of colors betw...

I guess the same as Harry Potter. They had tons of those polybags floating around forever.

Checked Walmart in Irvine and no polybags there. Based on past experience, polybags sometimes show up around here later than the east coast for whatever reason. *shrug* Will give a shout out when I find some. Probably check on a weekly basis.

I've only been buying LEGO as an adult for 1 year, but it looks like K-Mart has changed their clearance strategy. Clearances used to be across the board on all the same items at all locations. They now seem to follow Target and Walmart's clearance which varies store to store. This sucks for us, but ...

I just drove 30 miles round trip to another Kmart here in CO only to walk up on a guy with a full cart at a self-serve price checker in the toy isle. I'm new at this so I was actually excited to see someone else behaving as crazy as I felt I was by chasing these sales. What was odd was when I asked...

Thanks for heads up. Just scooped up the green guy polybag last week at TRU. Need some orange polybags as those come in the pricier sets so will be more expensive to pickup in the aftermarket. Does this mean Walmart is getting shipments in and my clear out some older sets? I noticed KMart just did a...

I bought a bunch as LEGO will never license Doctor Who. Minifigure quality is ok, but as someone mentioned they don't hold as well as LEGO. I have the TARDIS set, cybermen battle pack, the silence battle pack, and the weeping angels battle pack. Oh, and the 11 doctors set. I have no interest in the ...

I visited the same store today on the way home from work for the heck of it. The empty racks were half full of this polybag. Not sure if these were in transit or why the employee thought they weren't getting anymore the other day. Found them in Tustin TRU. They are impulse items @ 3.49 especially wh...

There is hope left for me. I spent much more and made more frequent purchases than my friend and he got one last week. I haven't gotten one.

There was an employee who was very helpful. She saw me looking at the empty racks and asked if she could help. She took the barcode label off and went up front to check the computers. She said they don't have anymore and they already had come in. She said it was checked or marked with an x, somethin...

Checked the TRU in Tustin Ranch today and they had the label on the hooks but those and all other polys were gone. I'm glad I ordered a few online as some polys like this are hard to come by and during a BOGO 50% they fly off the racks. They did have a full box of CMFs 9 though.

Sorry to read so many not seeing the series 9 in stores. I'm sure it's a combo of the stores and the demand. At the Walmarts and Targets I've stopped by the box is always empty or almost empty. Not sure what's going on as last year they had the same schedule of a new series every 4 months.

Now part of the buy one get one 50% off but only allowing a max of 3 at 50% off. That is an online limitation. Only 3 per order for all qualifying items. You could do multiple orders, but it's not worth it with the shipping costs. In store should not have that limitation. I ordered online because I...
