Re: Legoland Florida Help, Exclusive Items???

When we went last, which was over a year ago now, there were no exclusives. They did have some hard-to-find items - like recently discontinued sets but that was it. The LEGO store at Downtown Disney does brick engraving, though, which was cool - I was able to make a couple of custom bricks with my s...

Re: LEGOLAND Discovery Center Annual Pass? - Boston or other

melsig, did you know about the free AP deal before you went and were you able to use the pass for that visit? Sorry, I didn't see your question until now! No, it was a deal of opportunity for us - they had big signs outside advertising it. You can enter the store without entering the DC, so I was a...

Re: Legoland parks or Legoland discovery center -BOGO free

This is shown in the new LEGO catalog that came today. Coupon comes with any purchase at lego shop or online. For Florida and California theme parks. Wish I lived closer. ;) We used one of those coupons when we visited Florida last year - interestingly, the person who checked us in had never seen o...

Re: LEGOLAND Discovery Center Annual Pass? - Boston or other

Well, I have the annual pass, but I kind of got it by accident. The DC center near me was running a special after Christmas last year - if you bought $400 worth of merchandise, they would give you a family pass for free. They just happened to have the MF Zombie set (9465) still in stock - probably o...

Re: Marked "Sold Out" at LEGO S@H

The next series is "The Simpson's"---the box art/color was revealed at the New York Toy Fair, but not the figs. I'm not sure what's next after that. Ah, thanks. I'd heard about "The Simpsons" but wasn't sure if it was rumor or fact. Sinfanti, I understand what you're saying, but...

TTBOMK, no previous CMF series has come back once it went OOS. Okay, I had to look up "TTBOMK"! If the Movie CMF are, in fact, on their way out, it does make me wonder a) how many were produced for sale compared to other CMFs, what with the tie-in and b) will there be another series of Mo...

Re: Marked "Sold Out" at LEGO S@H

Well, The LEGO Movie Series Minfigs are now listed as "Sold Out". I know they've been selling like mad around where I live since the movie's release, but in my heart of hearts I find it a little hard to believe these won't be restocked, despite the tag. Anyone have any thoughts?

Re: [Giveaway] The LEGO Movie Polybags

I like the 70804 Ice Cream Machine - even though it didn't play a major role in the movie, the design just makes me laugh.

@Muntz, My son's favorite is also Cloud Cuckoo Palace, because he loves Unikitty!

Wow, how sleazy! That's the problem with this kind of promotion, when employees scam/scalp. How crazy it was the manager though! Glad you at least got yours :) Thanks, Daryl! It's hard for me to say that he really wanted to keep them to sell them on eBay - I think it may have been more dealing with...

Re: [US] Regal Theatres - Emmet in PJs Minifigure Promo

I ran in to our local Regal the minute they opened today - and saw the manager with a small bag of Emmet minifigs talking to the cashier. I was so relieved not to be too late to get one for my son! He then left, taking the bag with him. When it was my turn at the register, I asked the cashier how to...

Re: Target Clearance Finds Fall 2013

How are people finding clearance at Target? The ones near me have ZERO sets on clearance... I've found a few sets just starting clearance - ie., about 10-15% off right now. I can't even remember which sets they were. Most of the popular sets don't last on the shelves past 30% off around where I liv...

Re: Walmart LEGO Clearance - day after Christmas?

I only visited the store in Wheeling - which admittedly never seems to have regularly timed clearance sales - and found nothing.
