Re: Monster Fighters The Zombies done?

The moral is don't wait until the absolute last minute on something that is a few months old? lol... So what is the moral about how to guess when it's before the last minute? :p lol point taken. But I had heard about the Zombies set being a limited run right from the get-go, and considering that is...

Re: Monster Fighters The Zombies done?

I managed to snag one from S@H back in October just before the double VIP points promo. I was worried about not being able to pick one up before it was discontinued, so I kept checking its availability. It finally came up as 'expected ship date November 22', so I raced to my local store for 'shop &a...

Re: [CAN] TRU Lego sales Dec 7-Dec 13 2012

My experience with Canadian TRU and polybags is that they introduce it as a promo. Then they seem to disappear, than a month later there will be piles of them for sale. Currently my Toys R Us has tonnes of Ghost Clock polybags. I've noticed this too! Hopefully this trend will continue as I'm sure t...

New LEGO Brand Store opening in Toronto

The third LEGO Brand store opening in the GTA will be located at Yorkdale mall! To be honest, I'm quite surprised this wasn't chosen as the first location in Toronto, considering its location (a lot more central than Sherway Gardens in the west end of the GTA), and the massive volume of sales and tr...

Re: LEGO Series 9 Minifigures List 71000

Now we're talking. I actually really like all of them, except for the policeman. I mean, his printing is nice, and the hat details are nice, but do we really need another policeman?! And there also seems to be quite a few new pieces, but please school me if I'm wrong. Robot head, cyclops head, tarot...

Re: 2013 Galaxy Squad, Creator, Hobbit at Toys R Us!

The TRU at Markville Shopping Center in Markham, ON, has all the Hobbit sets, as well as a few of those smaller Creator sets pictured above, and the Galaxy Squad Bug Obliterator set. They also had the 10656 My First LEGO Princess set, and 10661 My First LEGO Fire Station set. Both are very cool sets...

No no, the problem is stealing. Just because something might be easy to steal doesn't mean it's okay to do so.

Re: Shop @ Home and LEGO stores USA

I added the Star Wars Advent Calendar to my shopping cart to see if the discount would apply, and like everyone else, it didn't. I did, however, notice that it says."You will earn 99 VIP points on this order". Is there a secret double VIP points offer going on?! (Canadian MSRP is $49.99)

It's possible that a Plum Points membership will also qualify. I received the email as well, and I only have a Plum Points membership, and not an iRewards membership. If that's the case, a Plum Points membership is free, and takes like 5 seconds to sign up, making this a pretty good deal. It's worth...

Well in the fine print that Legobrandon quoted in his initial post, it does say, "Offer may change or end at any time without notice". And that's exactly what happened. Yeah, I know it sucks, but they're well within their right to change the terms of the promo because of that little discla...

Re: Chapters 20% off LEGO Nov. __ Only

^ Considering that Black Friday is on the 23rd, I'm pretty sure this a Black Friday sale. It's right on par with the other sales they have throughout the year.

Just sayin'.
