[quote name='skiizim']I need you to start doing my Lego shopping at Target! I guess it's a good thing I didn't find much, I only went to two Targets, one I scored a lot of things for my daughter and only one Lego Hero Factory set which is most likely a gift.[/QUOTE]
[quote name='mikepeluso']Hey I was just curious around what area in LA are you finding this stuff. I am in the San Fernando Valley and the couple Targets and Walmarts by me never have anything on clearance?
Thanks[/QUOTE]
[quote name='etcrane']Because karkyco has already been there and bought everything to return and re-buy later ... =-p[/QUOTE]
MWAHAHAHAHA, nah I'm not one of the massive toy buyers/flippers/resellers, I almost always buy 2 of each model tops, unless it's a crazy good deal that will make great Christmas/birthday gifts (the recent Pod Racer price mistake at Target, for example).
As for where I go, I hit up the Targets everywhere in LA county and OC along my regular travels, and sometimes Riverside/San Bernadino, Ventura, and San Diego. I meet with a lot of clientele all over SoCal, so as I'm out and about these areas, I will hit Targets and other stores and find clearance sets/deals here and there. Also, I have a list of DPCI's which I am tracking on a note in my phone, and check them at every store I go to. That is how I found my super monster score o' the day, there's a store that has the Marvel Quinjet set for $21.xx, Jabba's Palace for $36.xx, Uruk Hai army for $8.xx, the Orc Forge for $11.xx, and the Forest police station for $23.xx.
So I picked these up at another store where they are regular price, and returned them to the store with the 70% off clearance price. If they deny me the return/rebuy, I will simply return it right then and there, and check in later in the day to see if any/all were put out on the shelf. But today, the CSR rep said it was my lucky day. They refunded me close to $400 and re-rang the sets up. Came out to a bit over $100.
I just need to find a Gungan Sub or two, plenty of stores have it in the system at full price/MSRP but not in stock. Another store has it in the system for $20.98.
