OK, my mistake. Actually, I just came back from a closer Walgreens and they didn't have it on clearance, either! So, as mentioned above, YMMV.
If you are referring to the May the 4th promo at Lego stores the only thing announced is the minimum purchases figure, Admiral Yularen. Nothing has been leaked yet as far as what sets will be on sale. That news I usually leaked by a Lego store employee somewhere a day or two in advance but sometimes reports don't trickle in until the day of by people reporting from east coast stores. I think a lot of people are expecting big sale prices but usually they are pretty modest. A couple years back the UCS B-wing was 50% off but that was a big exception mainly because it wasn't selling very well.

Free poster with any Star Wars purchase, 50 Euro ($75?) or more and get the mini figure, also 10% off select sets!! Woohoo! :lol:
Was it an older item? The order could be sent to stores that show they have the inventory of the item. Depending on how accurate inventory is, older stock can take a while to find a store with an accurate count. I've had orders come to my store 2 weeks after the order was placed a few times.

It's status is "Located in warehouse" or something like that. Yes it's older, it's the $35 big Galaxy Squad bug. I ordered it during free shipping week too.

Oh I know. I figured it would take 2-3 weeks AFTER it shipped, not 2-3 to ship. :lol:
I was going to buy it in store, walked in and it was a zoo, school vacation week!
I'll probably pass this year unless they do something similar to that B-Wing deal. IIRC, the biggest discounted items last year sold out fairly quickly and they weren't even that great. I have a few Star Wars sets in my Amazon wish list and credit to spend there, so sale would have to be good for me to get it direct from Lego. Admiral Yularen minifig is not nearly as cool as the Revan minifig from last year.
That's what I'm thinking, I don't think the Xwing sold too well, you can find it from third party sellers on Amazon for $150 or less new.
Near where? I'm sorry I'm way too new to Atlanta
It's in Lennox Mall, near the center of the ATL metro area. Google that.
I just want the spy truck half off. Also I'm selling a ton of space lego from the 80's and likely a bunch of other boxed stuff if anyone is interested.
Are you talking about the Phipps store here?
<====Very jelly, that's an awesome price!! Does TRU normally discount prices like this on these type of returns?Got a call from my old store today. It was an online return. $117 after employee discount. I'm just glad they thought to call me for this.
Yes my girlfriend went yesterday and they had taken them down already
About a week ago, KMart sent me a $20 coupon off toys $30 and above. I had most of what I wanted from their online selection but I also didn't want to pass up the coupon. I ended up getting the Batsub set with Aquaman for $15.
Now they sent me another coupon that expires on the 3rd. I have no idea what to get. I might visit the store to see if their selection is better.

Stopped by at an out of the way Target this morning as I was in that area for business, and had noted that this particular location had a bunch of the clearance Disney Princess sets and Friends/Girls Starter/Basic sets showing as in stock, at 70% off. Of course they were nowhere to be found on the floor, so I went to the stockroom doors and found an employee heading in. Asked them if they had any of the particular sets and showed them the set pics on my phone as well as a couple of the DPCIs and that I was looking for them for my daughters, and she told me to wait a couple of minutes and she would check in the back. Less than a minute later she is pushing out one of those huge flatbed carts they use with stacks of the various sets I was looking for.
Not sure when they had been set aside like that, or if they were being held by employee(s), or perhaps being prepared to be salvaged or whatnot, as I suspect many of these will now be dropping out of the system either later today or tomorrow since they have already been on clearance at 70% off for at least a week at most stores that have them on clearance, but needless to say I was ecstatic. Most of these I have already reported, however there were a couple I haven't reported on yet, which don't seem to be on clearance at many locations (1 or 2 out of a 100 IIRC).
Speaking of this sort of 'hidden inventory':
Also, it looks like that odd re-price Surfer Rescue set 204-00-0965 is back to $6.99 (or higher) at most locations, except for a few that still have it at the 70% off of 70% off price of $.62. I got enough surfing sharks from that set to be set for life, though.
Anyway, on to the spoils of victory...

Speaking of this sort of 'hidden inventory':
I have very recently encountered other locations that have claimed to not have a particular set or sets on hand despite the inventory checker not only fluctuating as to their counts at those particular locales but also still showing 10 or more in stock. Example 1 being Benny's Spaceship 204-00-0201 showing 10 (now 11) in stock at Glendale Galleria. Was told by store management that they may not have been salvaged out correctly or that my app is not showing up to date info but "they are definitely not on hand". Example 2 being Alhambra where a bunch of Lego Disney Princess and Friends sets such as Ariel's First Kiss was showing 13 in stock for weeks (never on the floor) as it went from 30% off to 50% off to 70% off, now inventory showing 0. I suspect they were hidden in the back similar to the store I hit today.

I'll be excited just finding some of those at 50% off. Last week I was happy to buy my daughter the LEGO® Juniors Pony Farm 10674 for €17.99 in a grocery store in Germany.
If you have any extras please let me know. My daughter doesn't even care about the boxes.

Karkyco - re: missing stock
Don't know if I've said it here before or on other forums but I have personally seen a Lego rep come to Target and remove product from shelves that was marked for clearnance. It was only once but since then I have noticed that items rarely ever hit 70% off in my area. Sets will sit on shelves for weeks at 50% off and then one day just up and disappear. The volume at which it's not one person coming in and buying everything up because it's at all area stores. My educated guess is that Lego and Target have some kind of deal where Lego isn't clearnaced at the normal cycles other items are and that if something isn't selling its picked up or sent back to Lego rather than salvaged. If anything they can always sell them at Shop@Home or opened and bricks redistributed.

Yesterday I picked up Smithers, Lisa, Patty and Krabopole from TRU. This TRU had a limit of five at a time. (with feel method my fifth was another Lisa, didn't open and will return) Cashier said any more than five was considered "bulk"
Went to a different TRU today for the mini build, kids got a couple of those and I grabbed a couple of the Electro polys

That is a very strange find! I resorted to ebay a couple months ago.

That's pretty shitty, they are supposed to be against that, I would call corporate.
@husher, thanks for the heads up, figured that's the cheapest I would get those two.

Begs the question of how? That's over $1,000 after tax, and TRU is minimum wage. How could someone afford it and food? :lol:
They are reselling and just using TRU is a way to get a discount and know when inventory is coming. Probably makes more money from reselling than from TRU.
yes and I have no problem with people re-selling. I just thought it was funny that they other employees were so honest about it.
