Re: Minifigure trading at LEGO Discovery Center(s)

I believe this is something new(ish) for Chicago. Legoland in Florida has always had this policy, but when I asked at the Chicago Discovery Center (granted, it was about 2 years ago) after we had returned from Florida whether they had the same policy, I was told no, except for special designated tra...

Re: TARGET Buy $49+ Set get free mini figures

Just FYI for anyone still waiting - my two orders, that I placed on-line in the evening on Mon, Dec 1, arrived today - both with the promo.

With this, the brown ninja TRU poly, the Rocket poly, and the holiday LEGO Shop promo, I suddenly have a lot of cool stocking stuffers...

Re: 2015 Bricktober USA at ToysRUs: Week 1 Sales & Promotion

When I received my Rewards certificate in the mail a few days ago (which I don't understand - I thought they were moving over to electronic certificates only?), there was also a coupon for a free LEGO jack-o-lantern polybag (which they are selling in the store for $5.99) with $20 LEGO purchase.

Re: LEGO fight Against Chinese counterfeit LEGO

We were in Chicago's Chinatown a few weeks ago during a summer festival (basically a street fair), and I saw several fake Ninjago sets being offered for sale - first time I've ever seen them in person.

yoyo.com Chima Royal Roost 70108 for $6.23

Well, I realize this may be of limited use to people, but just in case: yoyo.com is running 20% off (very) select toys with code TOYBONUS. Chima Royal Roost was already marked down to $7.79 and the coupon code will apply to that one, although not to several others - I think there's one other similar...

Re: LEGO as piñata filler

In this case, the kids were in the 4-10 year old range. I don't know if it would really make a difference. Some of the ring pops were broken. Packages of Trident gum were fine, as were bags of fruit snacks (like gummy bears). We're in the same age range. My son has juvenile diabetes, so we don't do...

Re: LEGO as piñata filler

So, the minifigures were safe inside the pinata. The kids were excited and it was fun for them to trade on the spot. I would recommend to anyone thinking to do it. The packages are a good size and I had found them on clearance, and it's better than giving out too much candy. Thanks for updating - w...

Re: Scooby Doo - Character Building

The only problem we've had with the Character Building figs thus far (and we've had them for a year and a half now - I bought them from the UK before they were available in the US) is that the leg of one of the figures snapped off and broke quite easily. This was Ben 10 (my son loves Ben 10) but it'...

This is not the first time the set has appeared for that price on kmart.com - I picked up 4 of them last year. Just a tip - the store where I picked them up still had them scanning at full price (which is presumably why they were still in stock) but because I had purchased them through "store p...
