Re: lego Hulk Polybag

Got one yesterday. Supposed to be with a $30 purchase, but I was able to buy a single one outright. Pretty cool little figure! $4.99 in Anchorage, Alaska.

It's a TRU exclusive so you probably won't find any leftovers at Target or other stores. Get one if you can!

If I remember correctly the hulk polybag will be available in 3-4 days
I'm guessing we will see it advertised on Sunday with a promo.

Re: Stormtrooper Sergeant polybag at TRU

Nuts. I used to live in Eagle River and would go to that TRU occasionally. The thing that I liked about that place was that with Anchorage being a remote location, it tended to be a little less picked over on toys and you'd be more likely to find a rare action figure. True! I've scored some great f...

Re: Stormtrooper Sergeant polybag at TRU

Not sure if it's the same or not. He's got a little shoulder pad thingy on one arm. (I don't collect SW sets, I just got them for a friend). I went back to TRU yesterday and they had pulled all of them off the shelves. Must be for a future promotion and some employee realized they shouldn't be out y...

Stormtrooper Sergeant polybag at TRU

My TRU (Anchorage, AK) has well over 100+ of these out on the shelves for $4.49 each. I picked up two myself.

Re: LEGO Star Wars 5002948 C-3PO Minifigure Available at Toy

My TRU (Anchorage, Alaska) got "very few" (according to the manager) in stock. He said people were waiting for them to open on Sunday to get one with their SW purchases. He was kind enough to sell me one by itself, though. It's good to befriend the employees!

Ninjago Anacondrai Battle Mech 30291 polybag at TRU

Found a few of these at my local TRU. Rang up at $4.95, but the cashier had to get a manager to override the sale because his register said he couldn't sell it until November. The manager came over and said, "That's stupid." and I was on my way out the door with it!!

Re: 30303: The Joker Bumper Car @ TRU

My TRU has them at customer service. There are signs all over the store stating they were only offered free with a $30 Lego purchase. I was able to sweet talk the manager into selling me 3 of them. $3.99 each. This is in Anchorage, AK.

Re: Target summer clearance

I know this was a store return and the only reason it made it there BUT it was still a clearance find. Perhaps my best ever! it was on the 30% off shelf for 139.99 and I got another 5% off using the Target card. Happy day since I was planning on this purchase in a future Lego Shop promotion. http:/...

Scored two last night by using your advice, Phanty! Gonna try this at another Gamestop on my way home tonight. Saving $3.99 and tax a bag, since they come out at TRU next Sunday!!! Glad it worked for you! Not sure if every GameStop manager will be as cool, but it's definitely worth trying! They guy...

Re: 30320 Gallimimus Trap @ TRU

Anyone interested in this set - I went to my local GameStop today and just asked the manager if they had any extras (same set came with the video game preorder there). He had a box of dozens of them and gladly gave me 5, no charge. He said they only had a few preorders, but were sent tons of the pol...

Re: June 2015 LEGO Shop & Brand Stores Promotion and Sales

Must just be delayed in the U.S. I see they are all available on Amazon UK. Tempted to buy them because I hate waiting, but they're each quite a bit more with the dollar/pound conversion, plus shipping.

Re: June 2015 LEGO Shop & Brand Stores Promotion and Sales

What happened to Jokerland and the other DC/Marvel releases? Only Ant-Man came out today? I was really hoping to get the rest of the super hero sets. Later in June??

Re: Steal of a Deal / Recent LEGO Purchases

Stopped by Target tonight to see if they had any of the new June sets out yet (they did not) and, in the action figure aisle (weird location!), I noticed two 79103 Turtle Lair Attack sets sitting with the TMNT toys. This is very bizarre because I'm in that Target a lot and have never seen this set t...

Re: Walmart winter/spring clearance 2015

5 Wal-Marts in my town. 4 of them are pretty much wiped clean. The 5th one (which happens to be a fairly new store - not sure if that makes a difference) is sitting on piles of Chima, City and a few TMNT in their clearance aisle and are maybe 20% off at best. Their prices haven't changed in at least...

Re: Target winter clearance

For the very first time my Target did something that caught me by surprise. Lego set- 70232: Saber Tooth Tiger Tribe Pack went from 30% off ($6.98) to 35% off ($6.48) :eh: It's still very weird that one set is on sale, when the other three are not. Just saw a pile of these on clearance for $7.48 at...

Found a lone Lego City Police Watercraft (30227) polybag for 75 cents. Still waiting for this particular WalMart to drop their clearance prices again. They are sitting on piles of Chima, City and a few TMNT and Ultra Agents sets, but are only at about 20-30% off. I spoke to a very helpful manager wh...

Re: Walmart winter/spring clearance 2015

Hoping to get the TMNT Shellraiser set at TRU by price-matching with Wal-Mart (my TRU has it in stock, my Wal-mart does not). Where have people found it on clearance - city & state, I mean. I'd like to show the TRU cashier the Walmart app price and see what happens. Anyone able to let me know?
