Re: LEGO Bizarro & Phoenix Minifigures SDCC 2012

Last year's Green Lantern has taught me not to pin too much hope on that. I heard that there will be another wave of DC Super hero for Superman. Hopefully, there will be a set for Green Lantern. I was really hoping that writing that would end in me eating my words. But I just saw the new superhero ...

Wow, this looks more like an MOC than an official set. I'm impressed.

Re: LEGO Bizarro & Phoenix Minifigures SDCC 2012

I'm actually disappointed that Venom and Bizarro look so good. Since I have no chance of getting to ComicCon and I can't justify the insane markups once they hit the internet, I can only hope that these minis eventually make it into sets available to the regular Lego buyer. Last year's Green Lantern...

Re: Feedback/information on Lego Club Meetings

Thanks atmail35 for the great info! I also have a 6 year old daughter, so it's been great to read about how much it's tailored to that age group and gender. I just hope the next time I'm back home in AZ coincides with our local store holding an event.

Re: Barnes & Noble Select Sets 30% Off

can you stack these coupons online? Any time the product's online description includes "Note: This item does not qualify for coupons or promotional discounts unless expressly stated." coupons will not work. Unless of course it is a Lego-specific coupon, but I don't imagine that's going to...

Re: Barnes and Noble - LOTR with 15% off

I looks like the coupon exclusion clause has been added to ALL Lego, not just LOTR. Even the super heroes sets and X-wing now have it. Pong0814, I feel your pain. I've tried placing an order for Helm's Deep three times in the last two weeks and all were canceled. I tried to get B&N to honor the ...

Re: Current B&N Coupon Codes

You're right that their Customer Service team is top notch. BUT, this was a supervisor in their Sales Audit Department , and they are a completely different bunch all together. Pleasing the customer is not their concern. And the person that told me this was a supervisor that their front-line person ...

Re: Current B&N Coupon Codes

Thanks for posting the T&Cs. Given that the woman I spoke to said that Lego was explicitly excluded in the coupon terms (like what they do for Rosetta Stone products), I have to say that my option #3 was the most correct. And least surprising given my many experiences dealing with the Sales Audi...

Re: Current B&N Coupon Codes

Is there a link to the terms and conditions on the coupons? I had my order using the 6/11 N9M3H4R code canceled. Not a surprise since I always have problems due to a US credit card matched up with a foreign delivery address. But when I re-placed the order and called them to prevent it getting flagge...

Re: Finding the Miniseries 6 Roman Soldier

I went into a TRU over the weekend and a sign above their box of Series 7 CMF translated to "No opening the packages. No feeling the packages. No using other devices." Are people weighing them now? X-raying? Janckson is right that you can clean out the Romans really quickly, and that's why...

Re: BN.com 20% coupon; TIE Fighter 9492 is 35.96+tax

I'm pretty surprised the X-wing doesn't have their "no coupons" clause. And a few other sets. I might have to start keeping an eye on B&N coupons again. I had sworn them off after fighting a battle to get them to honor a 30% off coupon on the Falcon on an order made pre-clause. They ha...

This is an interesting way of doing the raffle. It will be interesting to see if the number of actual entries for each group is consistently proportional to the potential group size. While Tier 1 might be the largest potential group, those members would seem to be the least active on this site. If t...
