Re: [USA] Yoyo LEGO Republic Frigate on sale for 30% or 40%

Black Pearl is no longer on the site. In my best pirate voice, "Aarrrgh".

Re: [USA] TRU Star Wars 30% Off * Feb 12-18

OK, so I'm being incredibly naive here...I'm clearly looking at the sale circular and the web page banner that says, "All Star Wars On Sale 30% Off". The only disclaimer is, "Excludes Blu-Rays, DVDs, video games and video game hardware". How is it then that many of the Lego piece...

Re: Anyone here attended Lego KidsFest?

Thanks for the tremendous insights! Based on these reviews - and my disdain for big crowds - I think we'll save what we would have spent on going and use it in the Lego isle at Target on some rainy Saturday! Thanks.

Anyone here attended Lego KidsFest?

So there's going to be one of these events within a couple of hours of us, and we received a postcard for it. I checked around on the boards here and couldn't find any comments about it. I also checked out the website for the event, and the longer I looked at it the more I recalled reading so-so rev...

Other modulars in mini scale - please create!

Someone much more talented than I PLEASE do the Pet Shop and upcoming City Hall to this scale,to add to the new mini modulars! It'd be cool if Lego released mini-scale versions of the modulars at the same time the big pieces are released, but until then I'll hope that someone comes up with plans (an...

How does Wal Mart clearance work?

I tore thru all the Wal Marts in my area during the unmarked after Christmas sale, so I was surprised over the weekend to see several sets in a newly done clearance isle at one of the stores. All of the sets in the clearance isle were marked with red clearance stickers, but all were at full price! I...

Re: [USA] Target January 2012 Clearance Finds

@earl9371 WOW! Did you buy them all?! I hit three of them, and called a buddy of mine who wanted another two. I'd love to see the surveillance video from when I walked around and saw them - my jaw hit the floor. I'd been to four other Target's here in town and found practically nothing. Odd thing a...

There are just so many Pearls kicking around they have take a hit on pricing, the rest of the lego aisle is demolished and only a few items to be found yet a fully stocked long shelf or end cap full of pirate ships is :crazy: Definitely YYMV - there's literally one left in all the Walmarts here in ...

Re: POC Queen Anne's Revenge and Black Pearl on the way out?

I wouldn't bet on PotC sets being discontinued until they start to show up as "back-order" or "call for availability" at the LEGO site. That said, yes, they're most likely "on the way out" at Walmart - at least your location. Thanks for the insights, vynsane. Paying MS...

That's the deal here with full price - but there's literally only one left in town (out of about a dozen Walmarts) and I'm trying to figure out whether I should pony up MSRP for it!

POC Queen Anne's Revenge and Black Pearl on the way out?

I was surprised to read reports here over the past few days that a few Walmarts have marked down the Black Pearl 30% to clearance it out. Prices have moved up accordingly on eBay for both the Black Pearl and the Queen Anne's Revenge. Did I miss something here that the line is being closed out? I'd r...

Re: [USA] Wal-Mart Clearance

Anyone have any idea as to how Wal Mart clearance sales work? There's a stack of advent calenders at my local WM, but I'm hoping (as they still are shelf marked for the full price) that they'll drop to the $15-$10 range in a short period. I think Target uses a weekly system to determine how much a p...

10230 Mini Modulars release date pushed back a month

Had been waiting for this release, as the initial info said the piece would be out January 1. However, I just noticed on lego.com that the date's been pushed back to Feb. 1. Drat. Has anyone seen anything yet as to how this is going to be sold, given it's supposedly only going to be available to VIP...
