I want this set too and missed out on any previous sales but from previous years cdn tire is willing to go to 40% off as it gets closer to Christmas. Don't know if this will be around for the next round of discount but 30% off is the minimum discount I would buy it for. This set is advertised in the...

based on local flyer in richmond hill, target stores will be carrying this promotion from dec 6-12.
Nothing exciting but wondering if it can stack on top of already-discounted sets.

No issues for me on saturday other than the busy website around noon, so I just went back in later during the afternoon and no problems. Surprised to read so many problems with people's orders. With triple pts, I thought no regular price exclusive set was going to be sold out so waiting out the busy...

I pulled the trigger on the ewok village. No connections to get that set anywhere else for a good price. the new policy on exclusives starting to affect alternative sources. I had $90 of vip pts from buying some 41999 sets so used it to reduce it to $210 plus taxes (or 30% off). I figure no lego sal...

I say list them for US $59.99 on ebay.ca or ebay.com and then increase by $5 as you sell them. If are willing to list on australia's website, then you can go $80-85 but you wont be able to ship cheaply to asia or australia, so would have to decrease selling price to make up for high shipping cost.

how can it be $89 cdn when it comes out to 57.44 GBP?
exchange is 1.68-1.7 cdn to GBP - should come out to more than $96 cdn?

its all about timing, and supply/demand. Last year, no one would be saying these things about the set. Sold a few of these for $200 approaching christmas last year since they were hot and out of stock in all retail locations. I think if ninjago sets don't do well this christmas with no stock shortag...

if you have not tried shipping to store or outlet, please try it - not a guarantee but if you are in a store already and have to return then no hassle and you can vent to the CSR too! The last 3 times I went with the shipping to an outlet (mr cleaners in richmond hill) method and it has worked so fa...

looks like amazon.ca is matching the 20% off on similar lego sets on their website, but of course no additional coupon!

thanks for the heads up best deal is to hit exactly $200 and use the $50 off coupon code - works out to be exactly 40% off when taxes considered. (0.80 x 0.75 = 0.60) was able to achieve that with at te, $71.99 duel on geonosis, $30 homing spider, $24 stagecoach $23.97 = $199.96 pre tax and the coup...

agree, I don't think there is any scenario where this will work out given the shipping fees and import taxes. I don't know how barnes and noble does it, they are one of the few US companies that can ship to canada for low shipping cost and low taxes. Amazon.com should find out what bn is doing and d...

contrast the above with me, first time I did not buy anything at bricktober this year. Last year I got all the vintage minifig sets and their resale value each was about $20-25, $25 max for $100. the sale itself and polybags I think were better last year too. the BN BOGO sale fortunately came up 2 w...

Anyone notice the sale on this one particular set. Only available on the US page only. Not available on the canadian site, which is odd...not that I would buy it at only 25% off the canadian msrp.

It's not so much about "doing your homework". If we could all find that magical LEGO $$$ formula we'd all do it and saturate the market killing off the profit anyway. magical lego $$$ formula = buy low and sell high :lol: even buy high and sell higher is even applicable! if the market is ...

I didn't know that I could get the EV3 until I got to the store ..so it was instore..Yes I missed the 20%..I will have to wait for the next one and then get the extra 10%... at least your store carried it, I have not seen the EV3 (or even when mindstorm nxt 2, when it was around) in the two bn stor...

Hi, Any person received email today that orders were cancelled by BN? 2/3 of orders cancelled and my friends all orders were cancelled. Rex I ordered 4 gunship to Hong Kong, I got a message that the order being cancelled, I sent a email to explain this is my first order with B&N and how sad i w...

bn would not be the only ones trying to do that. Sometimes by policy the two lowest items are the ones that have to be discounted no matter it makes logical sense what you are doing by bringing two $80 and two $40 sets. To circumvent policy or automated checkout, just do 2 different transactions if ...

the bn.com website applies the 20% to the higher set after the BOGO. I believe there is only two sets now that can accept stacking of the bogo and the 20% coupon. ie the master builder sets. an example based on checkout for 2x$80 master builder set they give you the BOGO first, so $80 + $40, then th...

Arrrgh they don't have the 79111 Constitution Train Chase online! I've been looking since it came out and have yet to see it go on sale! Has anybody found that one for a discount anywhere? Picked up 2 x 75005 Rancor Pit and 2 x 79008 Pirate Ship Ambush sets. I love these B&N deals, but its been...

It seemed the deals were not stacking. Quote from 20% Off coupon conditions - "(vi) may not be combined with any other coupon or promotional discount; and (vii) may not be combined with the Educator program discount" My coupon code worked just fine on-line! Can you post what you ordered? ...
