Re: [B&N] Buy 1, get 1 50% off - 10/12-14

Based on a trip out to Buffalo today, the bn at boulevard square had no lego architecture studio set, but all other architecture sets available. I had to go to the transit road location to pick up my studio set with the 20% coupon. I wish I had seen the BOGO coupon else I would have waited to go tom...

Re: Seasonal sets?

i agree, unless you can get your hands on exclusive polybags or have an inside track at getting polybags before they are released or before they are sold out or can get rare minifigure polybags, I don't think this is worth it even though your profit % so far may be decent. You may have to consider e...

Re: lego investing ?? LOLOL wet blanket from old geezer

"...Most of the sets he bought years ago, with the plan of selling them a year from now for a profit. Doing this again and again generates Schooley a tidy 10% to 15% annual profit, he says. That tops even the 10% long-term average return of stocks." For 10-15% profit annually, I would say ...

Re: lego investing ?? LOLOL wet blanket from old geezer

Few misc. comments in regard to lego investment below. More to add later. If you did not start collecting/investing lego in the early - mid 2000s (say no later than 2008) then I agree those coming in late may not be spending their time worthwhile compared to other investments unless you can play the...

Re: LEGO Minifigure Year by Year Review & Giveaway

I would love to get this book though I have the standing small book already. If I don't win the raffle, I guess I will have to go to costco in toronto area to buy it as they are selling it at 50% off or $19.99cdn. You cannot beat that price - not even at amazon

Re: [CAN]: TRU Brictober Week 2 Oct 4th-10th 2013

good thing I bought online, no helms deep at the closest TRU store (richmond hill). Unless lego was reshelfed yesterday or early this morning, there was no spot for them so this store probably never had any around to begin with.

Re: [CAN]: TRU Brictober Week 2 Oct 4th-10th 2013

50% it is not, since they overpriced it like they did with other sets, 47% off MSRP only. Also no freebies if you order online. Instead I went after the 60 airmiles bonus (since they are no longer on ebates.ca for cashback too) and the convenience of not telling my wife I had to run to toysrus at 7...

Re: [FAQ] Barnes and Noble (B&M and .com)

I will not waste my time trying to buy Lego from bn.com. After several days they just cancel your order. I even placed an order for the minecraft and that just got cancelled too, even though it's in stock! Btw this isn't what I originally tried to purchase, as everything was just randomly cancelled...

Re: [CAN]: TRU Brictober Week 2 Oct 4th-10th 2013

Well what I was talking about was clearance overstocked set that have some modding value would be great. Like their unadverstised Lord of the Rings - The Battle of Helm's Deep (9474) set for 47% off MSRP plus the mini figure set plus the turkey polybag. Work out to be around 52% off Helm's Deep wit...

Re: Potential deal if we get the votes

That said, I doubt TLG will bargain much with 120 lego fans to drop the price of the sydney opera house. They no longer let amazon/walmart/target discount this item, and the large retailers will cry foul if TLG offers a discount through a group-buy site. The concept of group buying is already out t...

Re: Potential deal if we get the votes

Fortunately I got the architecture studio from bn.com in August (when it was on their website) which allowed their coupons to apply for discount. Now its sold out online and only available in stores but I am hoping that coupons will still be applicable for discount because I want more sets!

Re: Walmart Canada Online LEGO Deals

This bag method had me worried at first but I am suprised that some come in a plastic bag and some come in a box. I got the box delivery and the box had no labels and was dropped off by a driver in car that rings your door bell and then leaves the box on the porch (according to my kids).

Remember buying online, you can also get 4% cash back through ebates.ca during this double cashback period (normally 2% for walmart.ca)

Re: Walmart Canada Online LEGO Deals

Are there horror stories with Walmart's shipping? Otherwise for those in canada, why would you want to pricematch at store, when you can just buy online and have it shipped for free? Definitely still in stock.
