Can a person buy everything online this week and then return it to the store for a price adjustment once the sale is on? in theory you can but you need to buy them last week, not this week. as you know, tru is notoriously slow in shipping. things you ordered this week will arrive in 2 weeks. so if ...

price is back up to 108 now. darn it. i'll wait for amazon.es to drop to 77 then!

this set is better to buy directly from TLC. if it's 109 in TRU, the best you can hope for is for a 30% off sale, which is $77. you can get this for 10% off using a lego catalog coupon from lego store for $81. This means, the best you can hope to get in TRU for is $4 cheaper than what you can get fr...

^^ you clearly missed the part where i said missing resources.

yes, check your bank fees for foreign transaction. worst case, use paypal instead.

Some people are just misinformed and get ripped off by TRU. Not everyone is a die hard lego fan like us, so some people will just impulse buy something for their kids when they're at TRU to make them happy. The only way to get TRU to stop inflating their prices is to completely boycott buying lego ...

who knows... it's cryptically message and the staff will dodge everything anyway. a week ago, i have a staff who told me i can't use the coupon (previous coupon) on CMF baggies because they aren't "construction sets" so i asked her what are they then? she said they are minifigure packs. ev...

TRU sucks. issuing coupon that you can't find... etc. pass... what a waste of time trying to find a coupon that knocks another $5 off $50 purchase.

yeah, i think TLC will be issuing a camo tumbler and let the average AFOL moc a regular black version on their own. it's better that way than to * off the fans who forked out hundreds for the original 7888 version.

Yup, I mentioned this a couple of times already. Target is now pricing almost as badly as TRU, though mostly on older sets. Newly released sets are priced appropriately at MSRP. I'm not really sure why they are doing this. Maybe because of the many frauds and thefts there recently, like the barcode ...

so what was the giveaway for the different days? day 1 was the shirtless maul, day 2???

Lloyd is 12.99, and even at 30% discount it is only $0.90 below retail. I can get $0.50 below retail regularly with my target red card. No way it's a good deal. I would just wait for target or Wally to carry this during the Christmas season. Last year, Wally carried lots of spinners which went on di...

Man I got REALLY spoiled from all that BOGO 50%, B2G1 90%, etc. My wallet loves it though. I seem to be waiting a lot longer these days, and having to settle for 20-30% most sets instead of getting the 30-75% off everything from previous years. Target isn't having as many sales/ clearances which ma...

they are available at lego discovery store. probably will be sold by one of the three major retailers: wally, target or TRU. just pray it isn't TRU or target. TRU will be $4.99, and target will be equally atrocious.

if they are indeed cancelled, i would be buying up the lot as soon as they are available. ;) nothing like buying out discontinued sets and making a profit from the secondary market. as for the SW calendar - pass....no special minifigs other than darth maul and the snow droid. and those aren't worth ...

Anyone got a copy of that 5$ off coupon they could share? Go to the front page of this site, locate the news section for the coupons. The link is right there. You get a unique code per PC. If you use a public PC like the library, then chances are some one already used it. On the other hand if you h...

Since this is a coupon, I would say slim to none.

When you buy $50 of lego or more, you can apply the coupon code 954521 to cut one set by $15. TRU.com seems to have updated so that the $15 is from the original TRU MSRP. So no point in looking for sets which already priced lower than their MSRP. This is, however, a good time to get online only item...

I'm kinda amazed at the number of people posting that they are buying so much now at 30%. These will go to 50% if you just have a little patience, probably in the next week or two. If you are buying to fill a collection gap and you see only 2 or 3 on the shelf, then it makes sense to get one, but t...

Totally lame. Calendar sets are not like they used to be. Plus with the crazy TRU markup? No brainer. Wouldn't touch it even at 70% off.
