Barnes and Noble - GC $20 for $10 - Groupon - Exp Feb 7th.

Post by ImmortalShark » Thu Feb 03, 2011 2:59 pm

This isn't a Lego sale but the GC is good for lego. Groupon is offering a $20 B&N GC for $10. It is good in-store and online. Here's the link:

Groupon B&N GC Link

Warning: If you don't use it by April 10th, you will lose $10 of the value of the card.

I don't think these will last long.

Will it actually work on Lego? B&N only labels a few Lego as "Toys & Games" and all their sales excludes Lego regardless if its "Toys & Games" or not.

I can't seem to log on to my Groupon account. I guess they are maybe flooded with purchases.

As far as using it on Lego, the picture shows a Lego set so I would be annoyed if they excluded it.

And FWIW, you don't get an actual gift card, but you print a "groupon" from your account. Just in case people are unfamiliar w/ groupon - you do get $20 for $10 but not a gift card, if that matters to people at all.

ETA: it looks like they have sold 10,000 of these, I'm guessing it won't last. However it seems like the only way to buy it is to put in all your billing info (credit card # etc) again since you can't log into your account. Does that seem fishy to people? I'd rather not provide that info again. strange.

Last time they had a buy 1 get 1 half off on Toys & Games with that exact same picture. But the Lego set pictured was excluded.

Hmm, that seems ridiculous/false advertising. Was it online that you couldn't use it? I wonder if it is different in-store?

I just put in my order and the coupon applied just fine to a Mandalorian Battle Pack and the Ninjago Skull Motorbike. Total spent: $17.99. Total value: $25.74 (not counting tax). Not too bad. :)

I haven't tried on Lego but there are some coupons for Visa card owners

25% off One Toy or Game w/ Your Visa Card [Exp. 02/06]
* Use Barnes and Noble Coupon Code C3X8V8U

20% off One Item with your Visa Card [Exp. 02/06]
* Use Barnes and Noble Coupon Code R7V9J9N

Putting both coupon codes in case one of them doesn't work. Let me know if they dont work on lego. You can use the gift card on top of that.

gabrielle11 is gonna be my new B&N Queen with all the deals she gets from them!
I have mixed feelings about new releases: I can't wait to see and get the new sets... but I can't figure out where I'm gonna put them or store them.

Has anyone been able to login to retrieve their B&N Groupons? I keep getting these "try back later" messages. I ordered yesterday and I've still not seen any email confirmation of my Groupon purchase.

Nevermind...they just arrived. Purchased a $57+tax "Making of Star Wars" Hardcover book, which is excellent! Got it for $29 shipped, Thank you!

Last week, during the awesome 50% off deal, I picked up the equally awesome "Making of Empire Strikes Back" book. A must have if you're a Star Wars fan.

These books, unlike any other I've ever seen detail the entire creative process that they went through to create the greatest film saga in history. Truly awesome.

In store there is this coupon for 30% off one item if you are a kid's member which is free to join. I was able to use it multiple times and it stacks with the Groupon gift cards. Enjoy!!!

Can I use this with the 10% off pre-ordering the new Pirates of the Caribbean sets?

The other online coupons I posted doesn't work on legos...but this One time only 30% off coupon N7K9R7V w/ Kids club member (its FREE) does work. Expires march 7, 2011.

I was able to buy the LEGO Star Wars Bounty Hunter Assault Gunship 7930 for
$50 - 30% coupon(kids member) = $35
$35 + tax = $38
$38 - 2 BN Groupon gift cards = $19

Final amount was $19 for LEGO Star Wars Bounty Hunter Assault Gunship.

It seems i doesnt work on pre-orders.

In store it works using the following coupon and you can use it multiple times:

Sorry if I'm being dense, but can anyone confirm that it is possible to use multiple groupons on a single online transaction? I only ask this because the Groupon website explicitly states "Limit 1/person. Limit 1/trans' in the fine print section.
(I'm not saying I don't trust you mrfootball, but this offer might work differently online than in-store).
