PETA would complain about the enclosures being too small

re-purposed stuff works best, display cases for other things, aquariums, special coffee tables. But unless it's airtight, there's still gonna be some dust getting in there

Went to get a couple today, and was told one-per-person.

Cool sets are rarely in stock when there's a sale. I'd check back then the sale is over.

Just left Ontario Mills, they had Hogwarts, Diagon Alley, Forest police station, Robie House, the SW planets sets, Space Centre, Gandalf Arrive, the monster Fighters mummy set, all damaged boxes 20% off

Bought some Frodo of Bag End sets, and did store pick up

Well, then you're out of luck, or out 60 bucks.

supply and demand? Did you see if they were posted anywhere online?

Nothing significant at Target in Santa Clarita or Antelope Valley areas!

I'm more excited about having yet another Samuel L. Jackson minifigure. I'm pretty sure if I get Nick Fury I will have four.

That's because most stores can return that stuff for full credit.

Not when it's only two companies, two stores really. Anybody else in the area can sell LEGO at any price they want.

The also (well, last time i worked there) had exclusive rights to most LEGO sets for two weeks. SO they couldd get away with charging more, but I don't see why they leave the prices inflated.

You can pay any way the store allows. Credit, Debit, Cash. I don't know of they still take checks. The the order takes as long as an order placed online would take (since that 's all it is.) And if the item isn't currently in stock at the store, they will waive the shipping fee. Although if the item...

Does the entry have to use a collectable minifigure? Does it have to use a minifigure at all?

I thought the friends sets had new colors?
