Just curious if I should watch for that one. After playing Lego Lord of the Rings, does anyone else agree with me they should make an Isengard set? I would buy the crap out of that.

Was the Crazy Scientist marked as clearance, or in another section? It seems like my KMART has it, but not marked as clearance. Really want that set but refuse to pay the outlandish MSRP on it!

I got the AC Mothership on Ebay last year for around $30. It's a good set, but it deserves way more than 2 1/2 minifigs. The AC Commander is arguably my favorite minifig of all time, and the set is really cool, just is missing another fig or two IMO.

As far as Isengard goes, we know we will have the Wizard Battle set that takes place at Orthanc. I think an Isengard set would be cool, but I think Pelenor fields and Minas Tirith are the most warranted

Crap man I should loan you the money with paypal and you pick the other one up for me.

The Crazy Scientist set was marked clearance, but only at one of the Kmarts I went to. They had 2 on the shelf, but the box was crushed prettybad on one so I grabbed the other one.

If my tax return comes in before they get bought I can get the second one for you

Hey gang. I am in Palo Alto/San Jose, CA area this week. The nearest couple of KMarts are 15-30 minutes away, and I don't want to drive out if they aren't doing the 50% off clearance. Does anyone know?

Also don't want to go if they are already cleared out.

Really? You can't bother checking yourself? 15 minutes is too much?

Your in so cal right, do you ever make it out towards the Inland Empire?

Ugh, can't believe I wasn't paying attention when the K-Mart clearance started. Stopped by one this morning, found a lone $30 Ghost Train, which I grabbed. Found some other toys for my kid, so it wasn't a total loss.

The 50% off clearance should be store wide. The only thing that is YMMV is what sets are on clearance. There seem to be some common ones like the Tie Fighter that are at most stores, but others are varied. Some have found the Helms Deep set on clearance while my Kmarts have them still at full price.

I think it's worth the trip to see what's there, but I enjoy the hunt.

The only problem with clearance on my end, most of the stuff I wanted got wiped out during Christmas or never got put on clearance.

I don't bother with Kmart clearance anymore. Dealers now are in my area scooping all sets. My Kmarts typically have low stock. Not worth the hassle.

Shamelessly stolen from SD.

I went to kmart last night but nothing was marked clearance.

So.... Did you scan some things? The sets are rarely priced correctly, the only way to know for sure is to scan things.

Hobbit King set is $66 on Amazon....

Thanks! I picked up one since I couldn't find it at Kmart.

My brother and I put the Creator Lighthouse together recently (he built, I, being the OCD person I am, organized all the pieces by color/part and handed him each piece he called out). And as it was coming together, I had a thought of just how I would like to display the nicer Creator buildings.

I would very much like to redo my kitchen in the next three years or so, and as a little girl, I dreamed of having a Strawberry Shortcake kitchen... decorated with the old Strawberry Shortcake dolls I loved and grew up with in the 80s. They would be placed atop the cabinets. (Cabinets which go to the ceiling are great if you're tight on space, but I am not. And with a bad back, me trying to climb up to grab something from way up high would be absurd. So I will not have cabinets going up to the ceiling, as chic as they may be.)

As much as part of me would still love to see a kitchen with the dolls in their pretty boxes, I think the scale would be off. They'd be too small. But the great Creator Lego series, with their grand emporium and such... those could work. And they too are bright and striking. There's even a faux brick backsplash (light colored) at ikea that i'm pretty much certain is the backsplash i'll be going with- in the abstract sense, they could tie in with the Lego bricks.

Don't make fun, it looks good in my imagination.

lol... Your imagination is way out there, you and my daughter would get along great. Good luck with the kitchen!

Sounds like a cool idea for a kitchen!

You're insane!

And I love it!

Amazon has the sea side house for $36. Good deal.
