[USA] LEGO at Aldis

[legitimatealex]

Not sure if this is national but my local Aldis had some LEGO sets there for cheap discount.

Hoth Imperial Battlepack $9
Freeco Speeder $18
Knight's Showdown $5
Deep Sea Striker $15
Super Speedster $15
Passenger Plane $30

Thought they were worth mentioning. I can't recall ever seeing them before.

I can confirm that my Aldi's in Cleveland, OH was advertising the same sets & prices.
Got the ad a few days ago and kept forgetting to post this.
I have not been back to the store to verify they actually have the sets in stock and the ad says the "sale" technically starts tomorrow.

The City Fire Boat is also on sale for $39.99

You can see the ads on their website, but it says "Special Buys from November 3, 2010"

For what it's worth, I have a physical ad in front of me and my location (Cleveland area) states the "Special Buys begin Sunday, October 31."

Some divisions start thier "Special buy" stuff on sunday and others on Wednesday. I work at Aldi and we got quite a bit of each set. The last few years we got Lego for christmas we got maybe 12 of each set, this year we got at least 12 *CASES* of each set.

Personally I hope they don't sell well cause on christmas eve I get to mark all the stuff 50% off. I'd love to get a deep sea striker for $7.50 :D

I realize you can only speak for your store but I assume this is likely at all Aldi's? I'll have to mark my calendar.

no, it should be all stores. Usually christmas eve or the day after christmas, pretty much all toys are marked down to get rid of them. Usually though by then all thats left is crap no one wants, but with as many legos as we got this year it is a possibility.

[shoppingbricks]

Last year my Aldi's only marked toys 30% off the day after Christmas. I was a little disappointed because I had come to expect 50% off, as that was my experience for several years in a row. If there are Legos left this year, I will still take 30% since they are discounted from MSRP already :D

[rocksing]

they just stop making them.....nothings behind it, they jus didnt make enough in revenue to keep producing it.

huh?

Here are the Markdowns for the Legos at Aldi. Prices are effective sunday Dec 26th:

Freeco Speeder - 12.72
Fire Boat - 26.79
Passenger Plane - 20.09
knights Showdown - 3.34
snowtrooper pack - 6.69
Creator Red car - 10.04
deep sea striker - 10.04

They're only doing 33% off this year. YMMV as to what is available still. I know my store does not have the boat, plane, freeco speeder, and creator sets left. We do have about 20-30 of the other sets though. Also, don't go buy it now and then go back to get the difference, cause you won't get it. They'll only do that if the price is advertised as a lower price. I also have the prices for all the other toys, if anyone wants to know anything just PM me.

Thanks Prozac for the heads up.

I'll have to try and get to Aldis early Sunday, I wouldn't mind a couple of Knight showdown packages.

[lady_bricker]

Not if I get there first! :D

[lady_bricker]

Well, I won't get there first. Dropped by my local Aldi today just to get the lay of the land and ... no LEGO. :(

[prozac]

wow really? where abouts are you located at? My store is the busiest in our division and we still have some.

[toystest]

I went by mine today her in MO and they only had like 6 Fire ships left.

[natelite]

lol, there's actually an aldi near my place. i never bothered to look for it until you posted the post-christmas sale!

[lady_bricker]

Central IL .. I'll have to see if there are any other Aldis in the area and check them out after Christmas. The one I knew about had only a small area of toys and zero LEGO or even shelf tags for LEGO.
