Re: Walmart Lego Clearance (YMMV)

Got a Tumbler for $24 at the Brant St. Walmart in Burlington - they had at least 3 left on the shelves. Couldn't find anything else though - did scan a few sets (i.e. Battle of Smallville) but it came up at the regular price.

Polybag Availability in Canada

Thought I'd start a new thread for Canadians, since stores like Target, Walmart and TRU in Canada don't necessarily stock the same polybags as their US counterparts.

So I'll start off.

Spotted Friends Flower Stand #30112 in TRU today.

Re: Mega Bloks sold to Mattel

I have a couple of the Call of Duty sets. The largest one (tank) was missing 3 rather critical pieces and came with a lot of odd extra pieces. I was able to get the missing pieces via Mega Blok's website, but I've built probably at least a hundred or more LEGO sets and *never* had a missing piece. (...

Didn't see any of the polybags out on the shelf yesterday at our TrU... didn't have time to ask at the counter.

Re: TRU Canada Feb 7 - Feb 13

Broke down and picked up 2 x Arkham Asylum Breakouts yesterday. Want to build one, will keep the other for an investment.

On the other hand, if I attempt to return 1 of them, what would TRU do? Would I be getting 1 at 25% off?

Re: TRU LEGO Building Event February 8, 2014

My local TRU ran out of sets around 12:45 but gave out mini figs from The Lego Movie to the kids in line who didn't get to build Emmet's car/plane. Thank goodness for the substitution since we had just left the LEGO store at the mall and found out they've run out of the movie accessory promo pack. ...

Re: TRU LEGO Building Event February 8, 2014

Got to our store shortly after 11 am, there was nothing left. People had been lining up since before 9:30am apparently. My eight year old was not happy.

Re: LEGO Micro Manager- February 2014 Mini Model Build

At the Toronto (Sherway) store there was a HUGE line - biggest I've ever seen. It thankfully moved pretty quickly though but even at 7:30 the line was still probably as long as an average line at 5pm ish.
