I have to wonder what it ends up costing me in the end if I drive that far on a toll road to spend money I don't truly have. The temptation is so great though. Sigh...

Does anyone know if the store sales reflect the online sales and deals, based on past years? This will help me decide if it's worth the drive. Luckily on 1 Jan, I will be merely 20-25 minutes from a Lego store when visiting the familial homestead on Long Island, but that's only good of these sales begin that day.

To those who have been out of the dark ages for longer than I have, can you tell me if this sale is an annual event? (Or does Lego have any other annual sales?) These are such great deals, and it was almost completely unadvertised! I would hate to miss any in the future.
it's almost always unadvertised. just keep checking daily around 5-7pm est. for eg the ucs mf was put on sale some time in mar or apr 2010 along with about 30-50 sets. i can't remember when. the annual christmas clearance was supposed to be advertised, but as you can see someone botched that up and it started early on christmas eve!

you just have to be mindful that S@H is hardly an experienced retailer like amazon, so it continues to make mistakes time and again. or the webmaster(s) is/are. you get pricing error for new sets (like ucs ds was when it first came out), you get items for the discounted amount instead of the sale price (e.g. ucs mf in ca which sold for 20% orig msrp instead of 80%), and host of other extremely good deals like that. :lol:

it's the luck of the draw to be honest. i doubt anyone with a job have the time to watch the site like a hawk. perhaps someone here can write something up which will automatically scan for new items added to the sales page or to the S@h site. that way you get to know when new items appear and new sales items got added. those are the two primary events which can lead to a deal score!

That was their annual may 4th celebration. First year lego gave out posters. This year, lego gave out stickers.

I can't access it too. But I can still find some of the sale items in "Whats Hot Now".

Store price reflects online price. Availability may vary per store. No green grocer, Taj or grand carousel by me.

I just spoke to my local LEGO store, very friendly folks. No Taj's, Green Grocer or Carousel's either, but they do have some Home One's, a couple Venator's, and a bunch of medium sized sets.

Yes, but are they already on sale, or not till 1 Jan or are stores even open New Year's Day?

You guys in the US are lucky. The entire sale page is sold out and there is only one official lego store in the Country, and it's a short plane ride away!

I just got back from my local LEGO Store. I posted a bunch of photos of the sale pile on my blog:

http://brickupdate.com/lego-store-day-a ... le-50-off/

They had a few Venators, but they went quickly, as did one other smaller Clone set. The rest were pretty plentiful. There was a line for awhile, but it quieted down. I bought a Home One, a few Clone battle packs, the two smallest Kingdom sets, and the Pirate Tank.

Great sale, I was tempted to buy much more, but I'm getting excited about the 2011 sets.

I was able to grab quite a few sets on the online sale as I checked right when it started, and went by my local LEGO store today and got quite a few more sets that weren't even discounted online! I picked up the Lamborgini Polizia (8214) and Technic Container Truck (8052) for half off, and some other assorted sets.

This is the best LEGO sale I've seen in years.

I ended up buying 3 magnet sets from Lego.com. The 2 star wars and one pirate one. I goofed though. I see that my regions bank card offers a 10% cashback on purchases via the store or lego.com. So I used it on lego.com but i didn't see that I had to go through the regions website...oops. Perhaps i can call and get my 2.90 cents as a cashback haha... it's not much but that's at least worth 2 mcdoubles and...half a value fry
