Re: LEGO Holdiay 2013 Sales (Further Reduced)
Galactic Titan is cheaper at target.com. $70 + additional 20% off = $56. + red card discount if you have one plus ebates.
Spider-Man cycle is the same too. $14 + 20% = $11.20. Red card discount and ebates make it even cheaper. Almost all non exclusive lego sets are now close to 50% off. Crazy sale! Guess that's why lego got rid of resellers. They want to keep the big retailers by giving them bigger discounts over msrp for the standard sets and enforce a no sale policy over the exclusives.

Re: LEGO Holdiay 2013 Sales (Further Reduced)
That extra 20% off at Target.com is only if you spend $100+. So, those aren't better deals if you just want one smaller set (or two), and/or don't have a red card (and I'm irked it doesn't apply to the newer sets hehe).
I'm still surprised by how many people swear by ebates. I had nothing but problems there; ended up using Swagbucks for online shopping, and still haven't had to waste time sending 10 emails back and forth to get my "big fat check" but I suppose different strokes!

Target prices aren't bad if you have redcard
Constitution $72 before 20% (>100) and 5% red card = $54 after + taxes
Rancor Pit $39 before = $29 after + taxes
Pirate Ship Ambush $71 before = $53 after + taxes
AT-TE sold out online
etc ...

Re: LEGO Holdiay 2013 Sales (Further Reduced)
I thought the same thing...it's almost better to order it then contact them to cancel/adjust to ensure it doesn't go oos or change price... If they would rather pay more shipping costs because of this, then so be it... Annoys me I have to have a hold on my card because amazon wants to protect itself from having to honor more price adjustments...techmiser wrote:I was in live chat and the sets went OOS from Amazon before they looked it up.

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.
