LEGO Shop Boxing Day Deals?

Post by Legobrandon » Sat Dec 22, 2012 7:04 pm

Will there be a Boxing Day sale on S@H this year?

The TRU sale let me down this year so I'm hoping for something a bit better from LEGO themselves.

That's too bad that Canadian TRU doesn't have as good of deals as US TRU. Maybe Boxing Day will be better to you.

Looks like Canada will get double cash back through ebates (5% rather than 2.5%) based on an email i just got.

There are some items I want on the list, but the worst thing is that most of these items are already sold out online. Unless LEGO has stock hidden in the back just for this sale, your best bet to get a discount is to go to a LEGO store.

^ totally agree - your best bet is to go to the store. I would go out on a hinge and say that the vast majority of the items above is sold out online... plus you will have to pay for shipping which almost kills any deal you're going to get.

Plus, I believe you get a scratch card if you go to the mall early on the 26th.
Shop Early on Boxing Day for a Surprise Savings!

Visit your local LEGO Store early on Boxing Day and you will receive a surprise in-store savings!

Offer valid December 26, 2012 only or while supplies last. Only valid at the LEGO Stores in Canada.

I have a hunch that Canada will have a slightly better sale, Because this list is for the US and starts on Dec.25, while the Canada Boxing day sale is one day only on the 26, and says "surprise savings" and "Lego store in Canada only"

I can confirm that the LEGO stores in Canada will be offering scratch cards with every transaction. 10%, 20% or 50% cards will be available. No minimum purchase.

Hmm, it might be worth a trip to the store on Wednesday. What time they open?

Nope, the boxing day TRU flyer is out already, and it is 40% off on selected overpriced Star Wars sets.

I overheard the employee talking and he said 8am for the Vancouver store. I guess it really depends on your local mall.

To be honest, none of the big electronic stores are offering "eye-popping" deals these past years. The stuff that is in the Boxing Day flyers show up regularly in the weekly flyers and sometimes even cheaper. :eh:

I don't think boxing day is now a "sale day" but rather "wake up early and line up for items that aren't even discounted day" lol. ;-)

I'd have to agree and many of the electronics that are in fact on sale are old stock or refurbished. When there is a good deal, the store usually has 'limited' stock of them if any at all. Just my 2-cents on Boxing Week shopping. Personally, I'd rather go cross-border shopping for everyday deals :-D

Do you know if this will be applied on top of the 20% set discounts that are happening after Christmas day? thanks!

I don't see why not. 99% sure they will allow stacking.
