I visited the TRU in Gaithersburg, MD at 5pm today. A manager looked up the set for me. She said there were none in stock at any of the local stores and that there was not even an indication that a shipment was in process. FYI, the last time I asked something like this, I was told that 300 Batman Je...

I bought 2 Gold Leaders and a battle pack. It wasn't a simple online buying experience, but without the guidance of folks here, I don't think it would have worked for me at all. Thanks for the guidance and advice.

I also seen Shelob Attacks (9470) for 12.99. It is at many (though not all) of the BAMs in the D.C. metro area. Probably worth a phone call before heading to one if you are interested in it. One other warning/downside about BAM. Inventory can vary dramatically from store to store. BAMs located in en...

Despite having in stock many of the sets mentioned in this thread that are discounted elsewhere, none had clearance prices at the Target in Frederick, MD (as of Sunday evening, July 30). Also of this past Sunday, there were 9 Bounty Hunter Gunships available for $24.98 at the Target in Gaithersburg,...

There is an online way to learn whether a particular Target store has a set in its inventory. But this method does not let you know the price or whether the item is on clearance. FIRST, you need to get the set's DPCI number. Just go to Target.com and open up the page that has the set you are interes...

Ooops. Forgot to mention that I also bought 2 Bounty Hunter Gunships at 50% off. Luckily there are a number of those left at several different Target stores in Maryland.

I made the rounds today. Before getting to what I bought, folks may want to know that I saw SW Bounty Hunter Gunships marked down 50% (to $24,98) at the Targets in Wheaton, Silver Spring and Laurel Maryland. The Laurel store had at least 6 left. Not much else left beyond that ... possibly a few Hero...

I apologize if I left you guys with the wrong impression. The TRU associate did not say anything, directly or indirectly, about how many buyers reserved the 24 Batman poly bags. So it could be more than one. I doubt it is 24. It would also make me feel better if there were at least 5 or 6 buyers.

None left on the shelf at TRU in Gaithersburg, MD. An associated said they had 24 more in inventory, but that they were being held for someone.

Aha ... thanks for letting me know. I was hoping it was something that could be scanned, but no such luck.

I'm hoping to go to my local TRU today. If one of you guys are willing to forward the flyer with the April 20th code in a PM, I would be incredibly grateful ... and I'll try to return the favor sometime. Thanks a lot!

I'm very happy about today's pick a brick deal for Lego VIPs. I used the packing strategy that others have suggested for 2x4 bricks, which is what I needed.I bought 3 large containers and got the following: 152 2x4 tan bricks 152 2x4 green bricks 152 2x4 dark red bricks 8 2x2 light blue bricks 92 1x...

I went to a Target around Wash DC hoping to find a discounted Prince of Persia set. There were none, but to my surprise, several Flo's V8 Cafe (Cars 8487, MSRP $59.99) sets were on a clearance shelf at the end of an aisle. The set I picked up did not have a clearance sticker, so I scanned it. I almo...

The Fire Brigade and Grand Emporium sets are back in stock online as of 9am this morning and both are eligible for the BOGO50 deal. I bought both, and got the Harry Potter promo gift free. Based on past experience, I was shocked this worked, and don't know how much longer they will have both modular...

No polybags of any kind at the Walmart in Germantown, MD. No Star Wars polybags at the Targets in Germantown and Gaithersburg, MD. (They apparently did have some at some point, and they were half price at 1.99). There are other polybags on the bottom row of the candy racks alongside the cash registe...

The Walmart in Germantown MD has discounted prices on some but not all Lego games. I picked up Magikus for $5. I believe Magma Monster and Lava Dragon may have been $7. Also, I haven't seen this noted anywhere else, but this Walmart also had the large minifig parts sorter on sale (or clearance) for ...

Some folks wondered if the Kmart discount for clearance toys might go to 75% once April 26th arrived. At least at the Kmart in Hyattsville, MD, it did not happen. They did honor the 50% off discount one more time, but a manager said the clearance signs and stickers should no longer be up.

My son and I are (reluctantly) selling one of our most prized possessions, the UCS Imperial Star Destroyer (10030). We bought the set new from Lego Shop at Home. It is just one of 7 Lego sets that have more than 3000 pieces. Ours is 100% complete, and includes both instruction books and the box. Eve...

The Kmart in Hyattsville Maryland still has a number of clearance sets available. (Ask a clerk for help finding them: they are not with the other clearance toys. They are in the toy section but one or two rows away from the regular Lego sets). The remaining sets include - Appx 4-6 Toy Story Build A ...

It is great to hear that some folks have succeeded in getting such incredible bargains. But if you want to help others and contribute to the community, PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR KMART'S SPECIFIC LOCATION (city and state, at a minimum) somewhere in your message. Thanks a lot. :D
