[USA] Wal-Mart Clearance

[Soccerd45]

I just went to 2 walmarts in seattle and there were no sets on sale. The one thing I found was 6 Ninjago ATVs for the 50% off in a seperate section. I was hoping to find the Black Pearl for cheaper than Amazon today. Guess Ill just get it from Amazon :)

I just checked 1 Walmart near me. Nothing new on clearance :( Maybe, tomorrow?

[brickster90]

Some I found were in the Lego aisle, others a few aisles over on a clearance rack.

Our Walmart moved clearance toys to the garden section. The normal Lego aisle has been reset, but no product has arrived. The 'clearance' Lego are not really priced to move.. a crate of U.B. Maters at 29.96 each. A box of series 5 at 2.97 each. some Potter sets at $10 off MSRP.. and a handful of other items so forgettable that I forgot what they were.

I do agree its quite loud, but not cover your ear loud ;)

So I've been stalking my Wal-Mart for several weeks waiting for Black Pearl to drop below $74. There had been 5 copies remaining this week: 2 sealed and 3 suspect. I went in tonight and scanned 1 of the bad boxes. $30. All the sealed boxes were gone only leaving 3 suspect ones. For $30, I decided to try my luck. I picked a box that was completely taped up on one end. It felt heavy enough, maybe even a little bit heavier than normal. I got home and opened it up.

Everything was there. It also had 2 rowboats and bag2 from Whitecap Bay.

^ Perhaps a new reality show where AFOLs take their chances at buying suspect LEGO sets and then opening them to reveal the goods (ala Storage Wars or Storage Hunters) should be in the works. :)

Yes. Not all of them are like that, but one scanner makes me wince. It's as if they want people at the registers to know someone in toys is checking a price. The scanners are slow in my Walmarts, too. They can only scan one item every 10-15 seconds. Target's are instant.

I like Target's old scanners that have a keypad. You can type in the DPCI of a product and the terminal will report the price, the quantity in stock, and where in the store they are stocked. The newer scanners Target is installing no longer have keypads.

Regarding the "beep" from the Walmart scanners, I agree it is way too loud.

LOL. I have to plug my ear and turn my head away when I scan, so my ear drum doesn't explode from the near 100 db beep.

Score. I like thieves who give instead of taking. Lego Robin Hood of sorts.

I stumbled upon and purchased a Scorpion Pyramid yesterday 50% off. That is a rarity at Wal-Mart.

Found the good stuff today at Walmart. Republic Frigate for $59. .

I would like to find a Republic Frigate for 50% off.

Those things hurt my ears, especially when you have to scan like 10-20 items to see if they are on clearance.

Went to 5 Walmarts this morning and in typical Walmart fashion here is what I found:

#1 & #2 - Everything that was on "clearance" the last few weeks wasn't moved or marked down any further, they just added some red ballons. Still had Lego sets on the "clearance" shelves and in Lego section at regular price.

#3 - One side clearance isle with no legos on it. Started scanning Legos on regular isle then finally hit 50% off on Jedi Shuttle, Bounty Hunter, Grevious Ship, City Space Center, City Marina, Duplo, Alien Conquest and Hero Factory. Strangely, Pod Racers, Frigrate, Darth Maul, Black Pearl and all the rest were still regular price. It's like they randomly choose which ones to mark down.

#4 - No toys in any clearance section, again scanned all the legos and the only SW @ 50% off was Jedi Shuttle and hoth battle packs. They were stocked with everything else buy they rang up at msrp. Creator Lighthouse was $39.97 and Hagrid Hut was straight up $30. Weird!

#5 - Absolutely no legos were on clerance, it's like the shelves were never touched from XMAS. Didn't see any other toys on clearance either.

One note, none of the 5 stores had the Series 5 minifigs on sale, they were marked $2.97 and scanned for that. I saw at least 20 cases of these in "clearance" sections and regular lego isle....

Happy Hunting!!

This was my experience with the two stores I checked today - except one didn't bother putting up balloons (which I preferred - I found the balloons kind of insulting!) On the other hand, I did finally do a bag check on one of the three bashed in and clearly resealed Whitecap Bays one store has had on clearance for $40.00. Everything was there, so I did pick that up.

Picked up:
Whitecap Bay: 40
Clone Turbo Tank: 59
Police Station: 49
Hagrid's Hut: 19
Escape from Dragon Prison: 9.90
AQ Tripod: 13

Saw:
Queen Anne's Revenge: 59
Creator Lighthouse: 30
T6: 30
Slave 1: 39, Plo Koon: 12, Windu: 19
Power Miners Titanium Rig: 69??? Black Friday leftover?
Toy Story Train Chase: 40
Harbor: 45
All the other AQ UFO sets: 50%
Series 3 minfigures: 2.97???
Assorted Cars: 50%

Pretty happy to find Hagrid's and Whitecap finally. Did not see any Millennium Falcons, Bounty Hunter Ships, or Grievous on sale. I think that is very YMMV. A lot of variation from store to store in what they clearance with this next wave. Best advice is to map out a Wally road trip and hit multiple stores. Good luck everyone.

What are people's opinions on that Power Miner's set? Worth trying to haggle that one down? I think my son would dig it.

[bigdaddy]

Hit two walmarts in the morning before work. No rhyme or reason when it comes to walmart. Sets that I thought would be marked down with the additional 50% off werent. Checking prices in regular Lego aisle was where the deals where.

#1
Lego Space Center #3368 - $35

#2
Lego T6 Jedi Shuttle - $30
Lego Ultimate Build Mater - $21 - Not as good as others but they wont last at this price so picked it up anyway.

On the way home from work will stop by another to see if I can find some others. Hopefully can find the pricing on these sets others are finiding.

[Edmond Dantes]

Found these at 50% off:
4181-1: Isla de la Muerta
4182-1: The Cannibal Escape
4183-1: The Mill
4193-1: The London Escape
4195-1: Queen Anne's Revenge
4842-1: Hogwarts Castle
4866-1: The Knight Bus
7065-1: Alien Mothership
7931-1: T-6 Jedi Shuttle
7964-1: Republic Frigate
7965-1: Millennium Falcon

And many, many more (Whitecap Bay, tons of city sets, more copies of the Mill, lots of Duplo, Creator sets, etc - those above are just the ones I purchased). Spent ~$1250 (multiples of many).

Going to wait until tomorrow to see if they drop to 75% off. If so, I'm going to load up again. I bought about 25% of the available inventory. The sale was absolutely incredible. I only went to 2 Walmarts - spent $3xx.xx at one and $900+ at the other.

Must be a challenge pushing 4-5 carts of LEGO. Haha.
