Lego Natick Mall still has a display pallet of 50% clearance sets -- PoP Battle of Alamut for $39.99, Dagger, Ostrich race etc.; some ATlantis sets, lots of Hero Factory -- also several SW Home Ones on the shelf at $55.

Just round up some Princess Leia slave minifigs for Brickdaddy to run.

I opened a TD Bank account just to have free ATM withdrawals worldwide. Their forex rate is wholesale, which saves me 1% right there; and they don't charge the 3% + $5 for overseas ATM withdrawals which BofA does. I use them only when travelling, as they charge for checking no matter how much...

Cute pics, happy birthday to your son! --looks like the Lego delivery truck backed up to your house :) Our boys are 8 & almost 10 ; and between their winter birthdays and the holidays, our house looks like a Lego/Nerf warehouse in December & January.

Quick trip to the Natick Target & WM turned up a few goodies -- Target had a City House for $27, which I snagged. There were a couple of random older sets including a Creator 5868 alligator marked down to $24. No real deals on anything else -- Troll Mt was marked down only a bit to $85, and...

Holy smokes, that's at least 200 clearance jumbo sets -- and assuming that the store had no more than a dozen Carousel/Taj Mahal/Green Grocer/Walker sets, more likely to have been 500+ medium/small sets. That buyer must have cleared out the sale stock more or less single-handedly -- yeah, that...

You can call and try, but they're not keen on holding items at the Natick Lego -- my mother was actually in the store around noon and asked them to hold 2 new (full-priced) battle packs for my sons, yet the sets were sold by the time we arrived 2 hours later (I know, my mother should have just...

As of 3 pm, the Natick Mall Lego store had stacks of discounted Mon Calamari, Midi Destroyer, & Clone Walker Battle Packs; and many Farms, Pig Farms, Horse Trailers & Tractors. There were also dozens of those $2 mini-boxes (travelers, pig-farmers, jesters) and tons of series 3 minifigs -- also...

^LOL, my sons would bring luggage to increase their carrying capacity. If the point of the sale-pricing is to draw people into the Lego store to pick up some bargain sets and probably buy a few full-priced sets while they're in there, then the lack of a limited-quantity policy is poor retail...

....where?... My usual reliable local source isn't getting any Series 3 until January.

Gotta agree, it's bad management. One of the sales guys told me that the Lego guy came in yesterday but they're still not stocked. I feel bad for the sales people who really want to help and sell stuff, but just don;t have the stock to sell. I guess these customers aren't going to the Lego...

Had a largely fruitless shopping trip to TRU in Framingham -- Lego shelves were half empty, and there were about 8 shoppers with lists in the Lego aisle looking to spend spend spend. Most of them didn't even have the 25% off coupons, just handwritten lists from their children of what they...

Thx for posting! -- I ordered for my 2 boys, and must have gotten the last 2 sets on sale, as Amazon is now sold out. Our local toy store isn't receiving any of the series 3 minifigs until January! My husband took the children there on Saturday wth the cheat sheets in hand, but no joy...

LOL! If the Lego S@H stocks Series 3 minifigs in time for the Friday sale, I'll order them for goody-bag gifties for my 7yo's birthday party....what a dilemma though: so tempting to cherry-pick the "good" ones before distributing them....

^Considering how expensive the minifigs are, I can easily imagine that kidnappings are a big problem :)

^Lol, yes it's a surprisingly dangerous neighborhood for such a high-rent area.

We LOVE Grand Emporium, Fire Brigade & Green Grocer -- lots of fun to build, and my children add minifigs to the set-up (sniper on the roof, robber at the store LOL). I don't know how old your children are, but mine are 11, 9 & 7 and those sets work for all of them (and me too:) ) Those ran...

I like your thinking! :) but it was from Amazon.

My first post! -- had to thank cutiepatootie for the TRU code, and zepp-head for the heads-up re: Grand Emporium -- thanks! Snagged several SW sets (+ nerf) for my children's upcoming birthdays & holidays, and the GE & police HQ for myself :) Now hoping that the Green Grocer comes back in...
