Re: TARGET Buy $49+ Set get free mini figures

I stopped by the Target in Nashua, NH this afternoon and was told that the minifigure set was already sold out. I asked how that could be since the flyer has been out for only one day and there were still lots of $49+ sets. I got a shoulder shrug so I filled out the online survey and ripped them for deceptive advertising, yadda, yadda. It won't do me any good, but I got it out of my system and then ordered two online.

Has anyone who ordered the set online had it ship yet?

Mine is still at "Order Created" (since early Sunday morning, so 36 hours or so at time of this post).

I purchased it online...almost everything is sold out currently at Target.com (on the Lego City line that is)... I didn't want to spend any more money and was going to purchase the Lego City Cargo Plane on Lego shop...but since it's $20 less, I figured get it now...and get the free mini figures.

Mine said it will be shipping on December 9th.

just got notification that my order will ship… without the minifigs. it is showing as mini fig set as CANCELLED. it looks like i got $15 off (well, $15 minus red card disc, so less than $15) pretty odd. i'll have to wait to see what actually comes in.

Very interesting. I really want the minifigures, but I guess I won't complain if I get a flat $15 off. I ordered the Ninjago Mech Dragon for my son @59.99 minus 5% gives it to me at $56.99. If they end up taking $15, that would make it $41.99 and considering it was originally listed at $89.99. I was never going to pay full price for it, but $42 makes it a 53% discount. But like I said, I would still rather have the minifigs.

My order of Hulk Lab Smash and City Surfer (to break $50) shipped and the minifigures shipped also. Seems like a poorly planned promo.

Target #1, sold out but manager offered a $15 free lego set instead.
Target #2, sold out but manager offered a $5 free lego set instead.
Target #3, supposedly truck hasn't showed up yet but looks like they will have only 12 if truck every shows up.

Didn't bother with Targets #4,5,6, etc. I'm guessing one or two people cleared out the Targets for flipping.

Mine says "Order processed: Waiting for UPS". It was like that early this morning and its now after work hours. It makes me nervous. Fingers crossed since it was my only order.

I placed two orders on two separate days, each order was 2 sets of the minifigs box so each order was $30. Looks like both orders shipped. I may do it again this evening.

Thank goodness one of my orders shows as shipping with the minifigures. The other is still in processing.

The deal is no longer showing up online.

My Minifigure Set (ordered it by itself) was marked as shipped this morning - phew! I was admittedly getting a little nervous after 2 days of processing.

I used the find in store option on the website to see which local target had it in stock. only one of many store nearby had it. i went to the store, armed with the dcpi… 204-00-0066. item was not on the shelves, so i used the price checker to double check that it was at the store. then found a friendly looking young associate near the stockroom door armed with a handheld scanner, and boom. he brought out the box. did not look like many in there (15-20?), so i only took a few. he then returned the box to the stockroom. for those in austin, it's the southwest store. four points also showed in stock, but that's a little far for me.

If anyone wants to try their luck. You can't search for it but the direct link still works and it's still considered in-stock for $15.

I tried to add minifig set and the batman joker set and it's not showing as being free. Finder says there are some still in stock locally, guess I will see if I can get another one in store.

When the online deal was active it the free minifig set was added automatically and all qualifying sets had the promotion. The promotion is no longer there. They also removed the individual online purchase ad, you can only access it if you have the old link now.
