Got Passenger Train and Red Cargo Train for under $200 plus tax, with store pickup. Thanks to fai for posting the $10 off code, I had already squandered the coupon from my catalog earlier this week in-store, buying just the Red Cargo train, which now I'll end up returning since now I added the Passe...

I went back today and cleaned them out for 1.99 each. The cashier was like Kristen Wigg on SNL, asking where I found them and begging me for one.

I did pick up Ramses Pyramid for $10. Seems like a good deal, although it's a little confusing to play. Lots of good pieces though. Reviews I've gotten online and firsthand from other parents confirm that it's somewhere between confusing and impossible to play, which may explain the discount. Buy f...

After all these months I'd given up hope of ever finding these at a Target in Sacramento, but today I found some near a register at the Sunrise Greatland.

Why are they clearanced already when they just came out? Boo boo on their part? Maybe it was supposed to be Queen Anne's Revenge instead? Happens all the time. They get the message "Clear out the big sets, we got to make room for new stock coming!". Nevermind that the new stock is more of...

In the newspaper ad today, there looks to be a BONUS SAVINGS PASS for 20% discount on 28-29th which hopefully stacks with other (mediocre) offers. I also got one via email. PDF coupon: http://trus.imageg.net/graphics/media/trus/IN102811A%20_cpns.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return ...

Because Littlefoot doesn't get pursued by vehicles and artillery.

Of course, just like they already did in 2005, possibly recycling the same dino molds this time. I don't have any problem with that.
2012 Dino is to Dino Attack as Power Miners is to Rock Raiders.

Not much in Rancho Cordova. I saw 3 Ramses Pyramid games for $11, a couple small Hero Factory sets, and 1 Duplo Cars set. The Harry Potter sets others have mentioned were full price here.

These events are always welcome in my Sacramento store. Usually there's no other kids for my 2 to compete against and they have a tie and each end up taking 3 minifigs home. Then I gotta coach them how daddy needs certain pieces vs. others, although the store tends to stock the choices more with the...

I got 10 Series 5 minifigs in store today with the BOGO for about 26.xx total plus tax. I flunked the math in my head, but somehow I still got the Harry Potter polybag for free! (Supposed to be $30 minimum purchase)

Which means whatever's left is about the same price it was on Monday for Borders Rewards members, if the extra 15% deal is over now.

Got a HP Knight Bus for around $24 with tax at the Folsom CA store since there's the additional 15% for Borders plus members. They had several more, but little else. Tons of CMF series 4, but I think the sign said $2.79 and no additional discounts. Nice. They don't actually care about scanning the B...

I reluctantly bought a Tie Defender at Sacramento Arden. At 50% off ($25) it still feels overpriced. I already have one too that I got for like 52% off a while back. Saw the set available at 30% off at one target, then 50% off at another. Stared at it. Thought about it. Stared some more. Decided ev...

Duplo Hulk!

I reluctantly bought a Tie Defender at Sacramento Arden. At 50% off ($25) it still feels overpriced.

Newman?

OK sure, but I was imagining Harvey Keitel.

As an aside, the clerk who checked me out yesterday looked at me with great relief and actually THANKED me for buying so many sets! She said - verbatim - "We're trying to get rid of a ton of those". Music to my ears You gotta tell a clerk like that to put you on speed-dial. Tell her "...

Sacramento Rancho Cordova had lots of Toy Story Pizza Trucks for 19.98 today. The sticker was higher, but I scanned to check.

Sacramento Rancho Cordova store had some 4737 Quidditch Match for 9.98. That was the only 50% off I saw there.
