I don't get it, the Uruk-Hai Army set is still available at plenty of stores for MSRP. Why would somebody pay double?

Anybody get any of the series 9 yet? I have a bunch and only need 3 more. Along with series 9, I have a bunch of other duplicates from other series. Shoot me a pm if you are up for a trade.

Kids and I just bought 8 packs tonight at TRU for $3.19 a pack. Used my rewards dollars that were going to expire this week and spent just enough to get the free Chima polybag with $20 purchase.

We stopped buying dups though...hell, we don't even do complete sets anymore just the ones we really want. Which is why I'm boggled that my 7 yr. old son wanted the plumber and Caligula figures over the chicken suit guy and manga robot lookin guy. My daughter spent 20 minutes just trying to find the Adele figure...at least she makes sense.

Welp...Im keeping an eye on my big walmart for the next week. They finally moved their MSRP Falcons into clearance for $139.97. Also found, out of the blue, something completely random that I haven't seen in forever: 2 Squidman Escapes (5969) for $4 a piece.

The UK toy fai started. There is not much new info but we will be getting a lot of Iron Man and Superman sets.

http://brickfanatics.co.uk/toy-fair-report/

Only got about a third of the way through the Black Pearl last night.

May run over to the further away Walmart even though it feels like 2 degrees out.

Belated thank you to karkyo...now to see if any of my local Targets actually have any of these sets, let alone at those prices. :p

No problem. BTW I found another store that has Helm's Deep for an unbelievable $34.48...I'm tempted to return/rebuy the ones I got priced in at $40.78 Seriously, getting that set sub-$50 is easily one of the best Lego deals ever.

Oh and the SW planet sets I've found for $2.98 each, which makes sense given some of my stores have the ridiculous "Target affluent area markup" and were selling them at $11.99 and $12.99 instead of the $9.99 most locations had them at.

Also, has anyone found any of the sets that I noted might be on clearance to actually be on clearance (Hobbit Goblin King, Anakin's green Starfighter, the Malevolence or the KOTR ships), or any other sets such as Ninjago sets? And has anyone found the Dino sets or the Advent sets at 70% off instead of 50% off? And has anyone found any other board games on clearance, preferably the more adult oriented/strategy games (for example Game of Thrones, Risk, etc.)?

And finally, it looks like my score of the Hulk Hellicarrier breakout on clearance may have been a fluke, as it was only one of the set at a store and it looks like they incorrectly put the Quinjet DPCI on the clearance sticker on it. The price is back to $49.99 in that store although it is OOS there, and all other stores have it at $49.99 and in stock.

Mine doesn't have ANY on clearance, not even the ones that you said should be.

Yep. No clearance lego at my Target either. Though I did get some Tinkerbell rollerskates for my daughter, so not a total waste of time.

Keep in mind that its all YMMV folks

Today I found Sebuiba podracer planet set at Target for $2.98

Doesn't Target have a huge clearance thingy in January and July? I remember seeing something about it before but can't remember.

EDIT: Please for the love of god find me Kingdoms related deals @.@

Kingdoms? Think you might need a time machine for those ... well, unless TRU magically started clearancing things.

Originally Posted by etcrane Kingdoms? Think you might need a time machine for those ... well, unless TRU magically started clearancing things.

Nah Im talking about older sets. I love medieval stuff and Kingdoms has always fascinated me. And when I say Kingdoms, I am basically saying anything related to it (Castle, Knights, Viking, etc). I know there aren't any new sets right now aside from Joust/Chess and I own those. If anyone wants to help me find deals on complete sets for the series from the secondhand market I will love you forever.

There's a whole slew of new Castle sets coming this summer (or sooner), including an actual castle. They seem to be a throwback to the old sets, so they'll probably scratch your itch pretty well. If you haven't already seen the pictures, look around online, as there were leaked scans from a catalog a few weeks back.

On an unrelated note: News from the London toy fair:

The Hive Crawler sounds cool.

I'm curious about the new Republic Gunship. The newer, simpler SW sets seem more swooshable.

I'm a fan of the Creator house and I'm glad to see them bouncing back from that Small Cottage with the Family House and the Treehouse. I hope the Treehouse comes with a lot of leaf parts.

And this golden minifig in CMF series 10 seems interesting. Can't wait for more details on that.

If its 1 per case good thing I buy cases >_>

I"m still hoping beyond hope to find the Falcon on clearance at some point, if at all.

Still working on building the Black Pearl. It's actually bigger than I thought it would be.

Of the Star Wars sets that are currently out and/or releasing later this year, the A-Wing was the only super interesting one for me. I'll probably pick up the planets as well though.
