Yeah my Walmart marked them down on the 27th of February. But Amazon prices aren't much more, so I passed. However if they lower them every week (I doubt) I'll go back and pay some. I wonder what the Walmart in the middle of nowhere has on "clearance" or if everything is still 0% off!

I've been buying the Heroica board games. Yes I know I'm late, but I'm also cheap. I enjoy them, but they really need to have more depth. There is no point to the weapons or anything on the board besides extra health, it's pretty much a race t the end. Does anyone have some of their own made up instructions?

My kids (boy 4 1/2, girl 7) love playing the "Epic" Heroica where you put all the sets together to make one giant game board. And yes, it does become a bit of a race at the end, especially when everyone is waiting around for the dork with all the keys.

As far as custom rules go, we allow item and weapon trades between players whenever, we go somewhat lax on the health regen mechanic (my boy gets pissy when a bat knocks his guy out) and we have the concept of a first, second, and third winner. First winner is the one who kills the final boss. Second winner is the one with the most gold and items, and Third winner has the most kills. This gives the kids something to shoot for beyond getting to the end first.

I snagged that as well. I still feel dirty every time I buy Mega Bloks, though.

I really want that new Grand Prix Racer that's out, but I don't really have anywhere to put it.

Stopped by my local Target. They were selling the Creator Mini Fire Truck for $4.99.

These sets were $18, down from $20:
AT-RT (If it looked like the movie version I'd probably buy it.)
Tanker Truck
Garbage Truck
Prisoner Transport
Flatbed Truck
Arctic Batman vs. Mr. Freeze
Spider-cycle Chase

I'm tempted to grab the Spider-cycle Chase and Flatbed Truck. I just really like those two sets for some reason.

Does Target have the dirt bike transport on sale for $18? Its one of the last city car/truck sets I need and it seems to be harder to find nowadays.

Seems to be hit or miss. Somebody mentioned that their Target has the Superman vs. Lex Luthor and Wolverine Chopper for $18, while mine doesn't.

Best thing you can do is check.

My Minecraft set showed up today. Smaller than I thought it would be, but still looks pretty cool. Hopefully I get a chance to build it this weekend.

Best thing to do is to scan the item at the price checker. I don't think the Superman vs. Lex Luthor set had a sale sign at my store, but when I scanned it, it came up as $18.

Every $20 non Star Wars set at a Target I was at was $18. But the sale is 10% plus tax. You do better on a random sale o Amazon.

If you've got a RedCard, that saves 5%, so it practically wipes out tax. Plus, the great thing about buying from Target is the return policy. 120 days when you've got a RedCard. I usually buy when something is on sale, then hold on to it and the receipt to see if I can't get a better deal later, then return if I do.

My Walmart had a bunch of the Monster Fighters and superhero stuff on clearance of varying degrees today. I think the Ghost Train was $54. The Werewolf set was 13, Mummy 8, Vampire Hearse 24, Quinjet was 50, Deadpool/Wolverine Magneto helicopter set was 13.

I ended up resisting since I used a 10% off coupon at the Lego store yesterday to grab a Pet Shop finally.

Don't know if this has been posted already, but these are marked down to $1 at Five Below:

Shake my head, ToysRUs. Last night I saw ToysRUs had the buy 1, get 1 1/2 off starting. They put up the banners on their site but it wasn't active yet because I placed Batmobile vs. Two Face ($49.99) and The Bat vs. Bane in my cart ($39.99) but it didn't take half off (total before any discount would have been about $90). I figured, oh well, I'll just leave it in my cart and checkout when I get up in the morning. Oh no, that's not the case today. Batmobile vs. Two Face raised to $64.99 and the Bat vs. Bane raised to $46.99. Unfreakinbelievable. The price, even after the buy one get one 1/2 off is now $88.48. That's a savings of a whopping $1.50.

I really wanted to think ToysRUs had changed their ridiculous Lego pricing ways but clearly they're just as bad as ever (30% markup on Batmobile vs. Two Face!).

Picked up a used Black Pearl yesterday! Can't wait to get home tomorrow and build it

My TRU had some series 9! So I bought 20 after feeling every one up. I got 13 of them. I thought I had cyborg bad guy but I guess I mixed up my piles. I also somehow didn't get one of the several police officers I felt! However I didnt feel a single Oscar woman.

So I now have an extra cyclops. Chicken man. Two forest women. And two two face guys.

Hey, I've got a spare cop and the starlet if you want to let go of your forest maidens?

Tried the last box at TRU, and I don't think I found even one

It took forever to find the Forest Maiden. I must have looked through 3 boxes.

In other news I've been checking the price on the Bug Obliterator every day. I wish I'd pulled the trigger when it was $60. This will be my bug set purchase of the year. I think.

Does anyone collect the Architecture series? I've been humting for deals on those sets.

Decided to skip the Flatbed Truck and Spider-cycle sets... No room, and my last paycheck was low because of forgetting to log 8 hours of pay (which is being fixed on the next paycheck).

Finished building Diagon Alley yesterday. I really like the set, minus the fact I still can't apply stickers very well. The crooked columns on the bank are a nice touch.

I'll go back today maybe and see what I can find. But I'd say there was at least 5 forest women, and I bought three. They were easy to find, they are oval shields without the lip that the waiter has on his tray.

You've probably seen it already but the Brandenburg Gate has been on sale on Amazon for 22.99 for a while. I grabbed one since I don't have any of the architecture sets, but I haven't bothered to build it yet.
