Familiarity with Simple Machines Set or WeDo Robotics?

Has anyone used the LEGO Education Simple Machines Set or WeDo Robotics Construction Set in the classroom or with your kids? I'd be curious to know what your experience is with either set. We have a precocious boy in the house with decided math/science leanings and have been debating starting him on...

Re: U.S. Toy Store Clearance & Sales

That's interesting - I didn't even know US Toy was a full b&m toy store (I have ordered novelty items from the website in the past for birthday parties). My son loves Power Miners and Space Police. I'll have to check out the one near me. Thanks.

Re: [USA] Kmart.com Atlantis Exploration HQ $18.50

Kmart's promotions change each week Saturday night around midnight. It's possible that the $18.50 price was an "extra 50% off price" just for this past week. I have been caught out by this before, trying to place an order from them on a weekend. I just tried adding another one to my cart, ...

Thanks for the heads up - I ordered 2 for in-store pickup (I didn't even know there was a Kmart in my area, d'oh).

Re: [USA]50% off Advent at LEGOLAND CA

I just got my call from Legoland - they still have both Advent calendars in stock. When you talk to the sales rep, be sure to ask what other deals are available. I also purchased the Atlantis Neptune Carrier 8075 for $29.95 (50% off) and an Indiana Jones magnet set for $7.95 (7.50?) - which of cours...

Re: [US] Possible $1.98 for Monster 4 at S@H

I really don't understand what's happening on the site - status of the clearance games keeps changing. Pirate Code is now currently listed as available - as it was during the day yesterday, although it was listed as being on backorder last night. It may be worthwhile to check the site again tonight....

Re: Limited Edition LEGO Holiday Set 2 of 2 - Now Available

Me, too. I had not intended to join the hordes on Black Friday, but I'll pay shipping to have the opportunity to stick one in my son's stocking (okay, whom am I kidding - it's really for me, but he'll probably like it, too!)

[US] Possible $1.98 for Monster 4 at S@H

Something funny is happening with Monster 4 at S@H. Late last night, it was listed as available for $1.98 (it has been listed as "Sold Out" for a while) - I bought several sets, did not get shipping confirmation and when I went back into the store to check on the status, it was listed as S...

Re: WTT: seeking other Target polys for Ninjago polys

I'm afraid I'm not a collector - just a Mom of a boy who likes Legos! - so I don't really have anything else for trade but the Gliders. I picked up the polys for party favors, but I can't imagine ever hosting 50 kids at one time (except in my nightmares), so I thought I'd see if anyone was intereste...

Re: [USA] Target LEGO Halloween 2011 Polybag Clearance

I guess it depends where you go. I found another stray Ninjago glider at a different Target today. The cashier said "Well, I know these were selling for $.39 yesterday," and she rang it up for me at that amount, no questions.

Re: [USA] Target - Bullseye is back

I had actually been hoping to be able to load about $2 on each gift card and use them for favors for a small child's holiday party, but at $5 each I have to think about it some more (also on the possibility of actually being able to find enough of them to use, of course). They certainly would make a...

Re: [USA] Target - Bullseye is back

I found 3 this morning. I checked all of the gift card racks that I could find - there were 2 in the holiday section and 1 in the yoga section (for whatever reason). The minimum purchase price for the gift card was $5.00. (if you paid less than that for your card, I would love to know your secret!) ...

Re: [USA] Target LEGO Halloween 2011 Polybag Clearance

Well, I went back to my local Target AGAIN today - and found 3 Bullseye card sets in various gift card racks in the store, plus 2 Atlantis polys and 1 Ninjago poly (which I swear were not there yesterday). I decided to try my luck on the polys - and the manager sold them to me for $.20 each. :)

WTT: seeking other Target polys for Ninjago polys

I have extra Ninjago glider polys (30080) and am wondering if anyone is interested in trading for any of the other Target polys. I have about 20 (I could go slightly higher if nec) for trade. I am particularly interested in up to 10 Republic Attack Cruisers for even trade with the Ninjagos or up to ...

Re: [USA] Target LEGO Halloween 2011 Polybag Clearance

In a fit of optimism, I requested that my family let me stop by a Target a few towns over after we went out for dinner - and they had a bunch of SW and Ninjago polys at the registers (thank you again, kind sir, for the tip) that scanned in at $.39, although there was no clearance sign (which I presu...
