[quote name='dragonjud']Wow, insta-buys on those Spongebob sets (especially the super hero one).[/QUOTE]

Yeah besides being overpriced it's a really nice set!
 
Picked up some stuff at Target today. Got the Kingdoms Prison Carriage Rescue x 3, Scarab Attack x 2, and Hagrid's Hut all for half off. Also saw the big Lightning McQueen set, a couple of the Firefighter boat sets, and the Quidditch and Hogwarts Express for half off. I have been trying to limit myself to mostly just the Kingdoms/Castle sets these days, because the collection has really gotten out of hand over the last couple of years. Specifically the City sets must to be ignored. Not because they aren't great, but because I have the fewest of them and I just don't need to start to collect them.
 
[quote name='prim4444']Star Wars will be part of a B1G1 50% next week.[/QUOTE]

Thanks Prim - does your store have any of the new sets out yet?
 
[quote name='postureking']Thanks Prim - does your store have any of the new sets out yet?[/QUOTE]

Not yet, but I have seen the new Spongebob stuff.
 
[quote name='NCrush']Another TRU B1G1 50 off? Count be in. Hope Millenium Falcon is out at my store though.[/QUOTE]


If I remember correctly, it includes Harry Potter, Creator, Technic and something else, Duplo probably.

City, Ninjago and Toy Story are excluded since they are active this week.

Ah, so no Star Wars? I thought someone had mentioned it was a part of the new upcoming sale.
 
[quote name='bigdaddy']Instead of having a BOGO50% off sale every week why doesn't TRU just lowered their prices 25%? ;)[/QUOTE]

Why do they tax the hell out of Lego, that is my question. I understand maybe $5 at the most $10 on MSRP items in store only but ffs. Like the Harry Potter Castle, $20 above MSRP.
 
Local ToysRus don't have those new sets yet. They did, however, get a fresh shipment of the old Spongebob sets (not sure why).
Local Target started to clearance the Kingdom sets at 30% (always behind everyone else). Disappointed to see that the Hogwarts express is not part of the HP clearance.
The conveyor belt set for TS 3 has finally hit 50%, but sadly I just don't see it fitting in with the other sets (leaving it at the store).
 
I'm sure this has been asked here before and my quick google search didn't come up with too much so I'll ask away! I have many tubs of lego pieces from sets I've had as a child, probably $2000+ worth of sets. Of course being a child, I destroyed the sets and now they sit in these piles of pieces. Any idea what tubs of raw lego pieces could go for if I were to sell them to the right person?

It varies, but loose/mixed pieces generally sell on eBay for ~ $3 a pound. Sometimes more, sometimes less. You can make a LOT more by going to a site like bricklink, identifying your sets, and separating them out correctly.
 
[quote name='PANZERGRENADIER']Thanks for being so specific.[/QUOTE]

I think he works at Target, so I'm assuming at his Target that is what they had.
 
[quote name='PANZERGRENADIER']Thanks for being so specific.[/QUOTE]

Now that I'm home, I can post what I saw:

HP Burrow
HP Quidditch Match
City Car
City Plane
City Airport
PQ Scarab Attack
Atlantis Angler Attack
POTC Whitecap Bay

Some other sets I forgot but this is a start.
 
[quote name='NCrush']Has anyone seen King's Castle clearanced at Target?[/QUOTE]

Seems some sets are not part of their Clearance. Everything *but* this castle is marked as part of the Clearance. Same with Harry Potter. The train and the more expensive Hogwarts set are not part of the Clearance.

It is all YMMV. For instance, I got Hogwarts Express on clearance at a location within my region. So I could say one of the two expensive Hogwarts sets IS part of the clearance.

After getting the brand new Hogwarts (a set that has been in Target for not even a month) as part of the clearance sale... I believe anything could be part of this sale.

Who is to say that either Castle isn't clearanced at someones location? I can't.

Interesting. I guess I'll have to keep an eye out then. I know I visited two local stores, and they seemed to be following the same pattern around their Lego clearance.
 
[quote name='NCrush']Has anyone seen King's Castle clearanced at Target?[/QUOTE]

The haven't seen any Castle on clearance at any of the Targets I've been to, they have all been pretty much the same. Atlantis Escape from the Squid, Toy Story Pizza Escape, Star Wars ARC, Hero Factory, City Jet, and Harry Potter Quidich match.
 
The Tower Rescue set is 30% off in my area and Prison Carriage is 50% off (picked up 3 of those). All of the PQ and older HP sets are half off as well. Then there is sort of a random selection of other stuff that is anywhere from 15-50% off. This Target clearance seems way more YMMV than they usually are.
 
[quote name='bigtaco55']anyone mind posting the dpci for the prison carriage rescue? I wanted to check inventory before heading out. Thanks![/quote]
204000500
 
[quote name='mmercer13']Wonder if the new sets are in stores like Wal-Mart yet?[/QUOTE]

Not in mine as of yesterday. They have been reported seen in TRU but my location didn't have them last weekend.
 
[quote name='ackbar7']204000500[/QUOTE]

how do you search target with just dpci??? i thought you needed asin as well?

also Kingdoms prison tower rescue I picked up an extra at 50% off at my target 25 bucks - anyone interested n trade? pm me

Holy crap. Madness, I tell you.

Nothing dropped further around me. And no drops for HP, PQ, or POTC sets at all, nor any Star Wars sets. I would have bought everything at 50% off. Was really hoping the fire boat would drop to 75% off but nope, they are just sitting there at 50% off. The passenger jet is only 25% off, $29.98.

I might try over the week and next Friday to go to multiple Targets and see what I can dig up. It helps having at least a dozen Targets within 10 miles of me, however there is no "dream" Target with all clearance items in stock and at the best discounts.

BTW the King's Castle did go on clearance as part of the winter clearance 6 months ago, at least at a few stores for a while. I got a couple of them for something ridiculous, either 50% off or maybe even a higher % off. Ah, they were $49.98 + extra 5% off with RedCard. I should've bought the ones at other stores for full price and did return/rebuys at that Target :lol:
 
Yea, I saw all the new sets at my TRU today. Man, I really want that Millennium Falcon set. Do you guys think it will be hard to find quickly? I want to wait a while first.

I ALMOST grabbed the Ewok Attack, but I hate TRU's mark up. Maybe I'll wait for the sale (if Star Wars is included).

TRU sent out rewards emails today with a 20% coupon good for tomorrow 7/16 only. That would bring the Falcon down to $120

thanks

Hmm, I didn't receive the email. I think I'll just wait til Target puts the sets out. I have a buddy who works there that could grab it for me with his discount + red card savings.

I haven't gotten an email from them in a long time... probably since the xmas rewards thing. Tends to make me wonder what the purpose of the rewards is.

Edit, oh, right, it's probably because I don't spend enough during their tiny "promotion windows"... how obnoxious.

LOL. I also ask myself why am I having them scan this card that I seem to get no rewards from.
 
[quote name='NCrush']Anyone know any places to get The Battle of Alamut cheap? I missed the boat at Target.[/QUOTE]

Lego website and Walmart.com have it for 60 something online. Hoping it survives to 40 though, it's the only PoP set I need to have a complete series.

Sorry, all emailed coupons are all one time use and have unique barcodes now.
 
Just got back from TRU. ALMOST grabbed the Millenium Falcon and Podracers sets as part of the BOGO 50% off... but I couldn't pull the trigger. I just can't drop $200 bucks today.

Does TRU usually always get sets out first like that? I haven't seen them anywhere else yet.
 
Lego releases the sets to TRU first, sometimes months early. Rumor is they use it as a test for new sets to see how many they need to make.
