I don't like that the heads aren't one molded piece (instead of a mask on a head), but everything else is cool

They usually do inventory in jan/feb also, so they aren't eager to fill the shelves with more stuff to count.

maybe you got two sets of instructions in the heavier one

My K-marts manger game me the online only story too, lame.
although the clearanced LEGO sets were super easy to find this time, they are marked on the shelf tags

Haha, thanks. That does save time

Target in Ceritos CA had plenty. They are super cute. They were in a cardboard display built just for them, in the friends section with Poly pocket and that sort of stuff

Well they are in business to make money. For as much as people complain about TRU, they can't be surprised when the sales aren't spectacular.

Indeed. The trains just don't looks as good on a shelf. You just gotta have a decent layout to appreciate them.

exactly, if you have the space, and can afford to sit on the inventory for a while, then most large sets (especially licensed ones) are gonna be worth it.

Personally, I only think badly of resellers when they rush into a store first thing in the morning and buy ALL of a particular set (like say its on 50% off sale) preventing parents (for example) of getting little Johnny or Suzy the set they've been asking for all year. If a person is just buying LE...

Do you take all the food from the free sample tray in the grocery store too? That depends, is it bacon? In all seriousnesss, I've worked at a LEGO store (and plenty of other retail store) and while stuff like this happens from time to time, it's not the norm. You just get the random people that hav...

eh, I'm sure it'll be fine

looks more like battle beast than beast wars. Big cats cs reptiles vs wolfs vs birds?

I'll get the bird sets at least

Saw a bunch in the Cerritos store in SoCal

ah, back to fire then. Man, there's gotta be some untapped city themes that would sell. Heck I'd be excited to see another hospital

There's been a few lines like that lately, one, maybe two waves of sets, and that's it. Odd. Kids love dinosaurs.

Went to Bellflower in So CA Got: witch doctor, minotauraus, heroica, and a bunch of great non-LEGO stuff Wasn't on Sale: any Super Hero bionicle-type sets, Hulk breakout, TIE, cube escape, wolverine, fire plane Didn't see any: Catwoman, marina, X-wing, Harry Potter. Only the LEGO games had yellow ta...

Well that's not very Spock like of you. :P I agree with Kodiak, the thread for walmart is fine, but maybe make is seasonal? Lock it every few months and start a new one. The guy who owns the comic book store down the street from me marked all his Star Wars LEGO sets 1/2 off. That's not exactly front...

I don't think stores are quite that stupid... :lol: With any instance I've heard of this, they always require you to either return all three BOGO items or, if you do a partial return, they'll adjust the cost you're refunded so you're basically paying full-price for that third item. m19 This is true...
