^Yeah. Why? Is that one of their criteria? It was a young guy who helped me and perhaps he didn't know.

I went to Target and received a price match (to K-Mart online) on the Friends City Park Cafe. Got 2 for $13 each! Make sure you take them directly up to the guest service desk (where they keep the "price match I-Pad"). YMMV

Some good stuff coming. I am definitely picking up all of the new Lone Ranger and LOTR, and the Creator houses. The Castle theme does look pretty blah, but I do dig the Dragon Mountain and its awesome dragon. I guess I will have to pick up the Sail Barge just to get that sweet Max Rebo...

I received my 2 Kingdoms Jousts from Amazon today (gonna build the alternate big model). Wow what a neat set! I didnt realize how large it was. It even has a small chapel with a stained glass window, prayer kneeler and "Bible". Is this the first time Lego has snuck religion in a set? Aside from...

LOL no - I'm currently living in a rather crappy place called Utah. Sadly, there isn't much girl-on-girl jet-skiing happening on the Great Salt Lake. ;)

I just scored 4 Uruk Hai sets for 8 bucks each! Using some methods described here by karkyco , I searched my area on Target.com and only one store of about 15 even had them in stock. I went there and bought all 4 sets they had at full price. Then the next day took them back to the store where I...

I already did when it first came out. :) But thanks!

Thanks for the tip! I finally broke down and ordered 2 for my collection. Probably won't get much better than 25% off, and may go OOP soon with the next Castle series coming soon.

Personally, I think Megabloks majorly suck when compared to KRE-O and of course Lego. I did buy some clearance Smurf ones just for the minifigs and the bricks hold together like shit. I tossed all the pieces in the trash and only kept the minifigs and accessories. I'm planning on making a...

He looks like a French soldier. Perhaps he was guillotined? ;) I hope the gold MF is done in gold chrome like that special C-3PO a few years ago: http://brickset.com/detail/?Set=4521221-1

karkyco, I bow to you - you are truly the master of Target clearance finds. Thanks for taking the time and posting all those DPCIs/prices. :applause:

Today was the crazy soccer mom-filled Target 70% off clearance day. But I still managed to score 2 LOTR Weathertops for $17.xx and a Creator Cool Cruiser for $11.xx :) I didn't even bother looking at another Target. The one I went to was a madhouse with all these moms pulling 2 and 3...

Holy crap. I'm glad they didnt arrest me! I just thought I found a sweet deal when I initially bought. I would take it back but then they might think that I did the switcheroo. On the subject of Chima... I like the Ewar alot actually and I think he is the only one with white wings so I placed a...

Hey who you calling a SOB? ;) I looked at my receipt later and it said Kai's Blade Cycle! Sure enough, the barcode on the police station had been carefully covered with a different UPC sticker. I was like WTF? Some idiot did all that work and returned a $100 set for $7?

More Wal-Mart clearance heaven: 2x Helm's Deep for $57 each! :) Also a Sopwith Camel for $25 (must have been an online return). Older sets were really wiped out this year, even before the post-Christmas clearance. Almost everywhere, all I see are Chima, TMNT, and new City. Then over to...

Random awesome Wal-Mart clearance find: City Police Station ... $7.00 !!! Also got a Log Cabin for $15. This was a very small Wal-Mart, hardly a LEGO section, which probably explains the strange markdown on the big set.

Yeah the 7637 Farm was clearanced a few years back at my local TRU also. Some reseller couple bought a bunch according to employees, but I managed to score one during a BoGo sale, bringing the price down even further than the clearance. It was clearanced down to like $48 (down from $90) as I...

Found a lonely 9490 Droid Escape at Target for $12. What a great little set. 2 awesome new Sandtroopers, I would have bought several at that 40% off price.

The Thing would be cool

Went to a few Walmarts today and found some decent unpicked-over deals. At the last one I finally ran into another adult Lego shopper. He had a Black Pearl and was scanning several other sets while talking on his cell phone. I also saw one last Black Pearl for $50 and grabbed it. He greeted me...
