[quote name='prim4444']You can get the info when you go into the store. Just ask.[/QUOTE]
I already called the store. They seemed fairly reluctant to provide anything if I didn't have a coupon so I was hoping to avoid what sounded like it might be a hassle.
 
[quote name='bigdaddy']Yeah if you want a coupon go to the store and get one. Problem solved.[/QUOTE]
I don't want to sound rude, but if it were that simple I wouldn't be posting on a message board asking for a scan, would I? I called the store, as I stated. I was told they don't have the ads in the store beyond random ones that customers brought in and left behind. It took them several minutes to find one that actually had a coupon to have any clue what I was talking about. They did not sound like they were going to help me at all if I didn't have a coupon myself and they suggested I either get a coupon or get the code on the coupon, which is why I came here with what I thought was a pretty straightforward request.

So, I will ask again, can anyone actually help or am I just going to get more advice that amounts to variations of "go to the store" to get something I have been told is likely not there? Again, I don't want to sound rude, but I could've come up with "go to the store" without help. I even said I was going to the store in my first post.

For starters, coupon scans are not allowed here at CAG.

All TRU locations have to have a copy of an ad at every register during the week it's valid. If the person you talked to told you you could use a code, then they could easily give that code to you at the store for you to use.
 
[quote name='elsnerma']Not to step on Prim's toes, but LEGO released some more info about Bricktober on Eurobricks.

Interesting about the $10 certificate...I would assume that you have to spend $150 in one transaction, but it isn't 100% clear.

The Cars 2 exclusive thing seems kinda interesting since it kinda screws over adult collectors. Still kinda cool, I suppose.[/QUOTE]

No word of any kind of the extra Lego $$ when I went to work today. This is news to me.


[quote name='skiizim']Thanks to who ever pointed out the $15 sets at WM, picked up a few and scanned Queen Anns Revenge and it was stuck at $120.

Definitely going to take my daughter to that event, need to get there early!!!![/QUOTE]

From what I read, stores will be only getting 50 sets in.

I don't want to be rude but if you don't like our answers than you can leave. We are helping, you just don't like the answers.

As Primm pointed out, we don't do scans of in store only coupons and I don't think TRU takes scans either.
 
Thanks for the info prim4444, I guess I need to get there really early!

Amazon has Lego 7965 Millennium Falcon for $105 and Lego 7962 Anakin & Sebulba's Podracer for $66.49 right now at this moment.

I believe this is the cheapest either 2 sets have been on Amazon.

EDIT: Upon further late night browsing I guess they are matching TRU sale.

Here are some more worthy sets 30% off.

Lego 7188 King's Carriage Ambush $27.99
Lego 3368 Space Center $48.99
Lego 7066 Space Earth Defence HQ $62.99
Lego 7065 Space Alien Mothership $41.99

I also noticed TRU has the Death Star for $360 might be close to your last chance for getting this, says oos for shipping but available in store.

Kmart has the 50% off all clearance toys again. Not much for Lego, though I did see an Atlantis set and a Heroes set. I did pick up the Duplo Lightning set for $5 for my son though :)

I never saw any signs about extra lego coupons at the store or in the ad in my area but the tru reward website had it on the front page. When i looked at my recent puchases it seems they add up the total legos you buy for the month and give you extra coupons.

I don't like your answers because they do me absolutely no good and amount to again saying "go to the store" which, again, I could've come up with on my own and again, per the employees I spoke with, isn't enough. That's why I called the store in the first place, got the crappy answer I got from them which I have spelled out on here, and now I get crap here because I wanted some help that I thought was a fairly straightforward request. I don't care what TRU is supposed to do or what they are supposed to have. I have to deal with what this particular store will actually do and what they actually have, which lead me hear to ask a simple question. Telling me to just go to the store doesn't change the reality of my situation. Apparently the answer to my question is no, and it could've easily been left at that.
 
[quote name='Tyrant01']Does anyone have a scan of the Geoffrey Dollars coupon or the code on it? I don't live close to the TRU I am considering going to to get some LEGO sets so I didn't get a print ad and the coupon isn't showing up for me online even though it's in the picture of the ad in my email. Thanks to anyone that can help.[/QUOTE]

The $10 off coupon also appeared in my email but after bringing up the ad for my area there was no coupon. I didnt see any ads in the store either. I used the $10 0ff $75 dollar purchase i got in the last mailer and i just got the same coupon in the mail again yesterday with different expiration dates. Make sure you are signed up for rewards and even to get email notifications on another email address. Sometimes i get different coupons sent to different emails. Alright, enough with everyones whining, back to lego deals!
 
Did anyone pickup the free R2-D2 thumb drive a couple weeks ago? There are coupons, one good for the month of OCT, NOV and DEC. The one for OCT is $10 off Lego Star Wars set $100 or more. It does not say if it is a total of $100 or just one set. I will upload when I get a chance.
 
I forget... Will these tru percent off coupons work on the sale stuff even though it says regular price item? Seems like I remember them working...
 
[quote name='FadeToOne']I forget... Will these tru percent off coupons work on the sale stuff even though it says regular price item? Seems like I remember them working...[/QUOTE]
In the past they haven't.
 
That sucks. I was hoping to use this Columbus Day 20% coupon with the Anakin/Sebulba set on sale this week, might try it anyway.
 
Here are the coupons from the R2 flashdrive. If anyone knows a better place for hosting let me know or feel free to host yourself. This is sent from my iPhone so I hope this post right, site is blocked at work.

I think I already used the last one and I haven't gotten a new one yet. I lucked out and the cashier had one in her pocket and rang it up after she rang up all my sets. Thanks for the suggestion though and I will keep my eye out for the new coupon.

Apologies to anyone I offended earlier. I appreciate people trying help me, but I was frustrated because it seemed like I was getting nowhere and it came out in my posts.
 
** Completely Off Topic - Just posted this in the CAG LEGO Discussion Group - Help Me Help You :D !!! **


Hey Everyone,

So I haven't posted on this forum in ages - but have finally completed my LEGO inventory (MINT / SEALED - NIB) on an excel spreadsheet.

If anyone is interested - I can email you the sheet, just PM me.

I have many sets that frequent CAG's have on their "wanted" list - so this is a big opportunity for everyone.

If a set is not on the list - let me know and I can maybe help out. I have more sets that are not sealed (opened / complete), but that spreadsheet is in it's beginning stages as of today. Opened sets include Jabba's Sail Barge, Jango Fett's Slave 1, etc. etc. (all complete)

Best,

-E
 
Used the TRU $10 off $50 on the big Alien Conquest truck which is 30% off this week. $90 set for $52. Not bad. What is bad is the lousy glued Bricktober magnet, princess ninja's head and hat come off, but body and brick are fused.

I was thinking about buying that set from Amazon for $62 because I'm too lazy to look for the TRU coupons.
 
[quote name='bigdaddy']http://www.brickheroes.com/2011/10/lego-superheroes-2012-les-images/

Wow.... Those are horribly poor![/QUOTE]
Those are pretty disappointing. Probably will get Superman vs Luthor, but will probably pass on everything else.
 
I am disappointed that not only are they repeating previous Batman sets (Batwing vs. Joker copter, Batmobile vs. Two Face, etc.), they aren't doing as nice of job. Lego's minifigs have been amazing lately. Their sets, not so much.
 
Wow. Still kicking myself for not selling off my Batman collection six months ago. Boxed copies of that Catwoman set were going for over $100 on eBay.

Exactly. Because of the price increase on LEGOs they took the same exact sets as before, and just made the sets have fewer pieces.

The Batman vs Catwoman set at least had a small dragster, now it's just Batman with a street light!
 
[quote name='Pirate331']I'll be buying Superman vs. Lex Luthor. Everything else is weak; bring on the Marvel sets.[/QUOTE]

2nd this.

I might buy some of the small sets just to get a Batman fig, but really they should have made them different.
 
[quote name='Pirate331']I'll be buying Superman vs. Lex Luthor. Everything else is weak; bring on the Marvel sets.[/QUOTE]

The sad thing is that set will be at least $30.
 
[quote name='bigdaddy']The sad thing is that set will be at least $30.[/QUOTE]

That Supes VS Lex set is just waaay too similar to the power miners set I picked up at Target clearance a month back.

I'm still in for the $9.88 and below sets, purely for the Minifigs. Maybe if I liked DC more I'd bite on some of these. Maybe. Anxious to see the marvel offerings - but I won't get my hopes up.

I'd like to see Lego do an original super hero theme. Something equal parts silly and cool. I'm not really into the licensed stuff.
 
Picked up Castle Mill Village Raid from TRU today, I wish I would have received that $10 off $50 coupon but the set itself was already 30% off so I was happy.

I have the Alien Space Earth Defense in my Amazon Gold Box so I might pick it up since it's only $59.84.
 
Maybe I'm just being optimistic, but I'd think that these sets will look a lot better on release. If the final Bats vs. Catwoman set has 2x2 tiles that just say THE NEWS, I'll eat my hat. Then weep deeply.
 
Not really a deal but a heads up for anyone looking for Series 5 minifigs. I just did the toy reset at Walgreens in the St. Louis area and they were added into our dept at $2.99. Could make finding them alot easier since there are a few more Walgreens than Toys r Us.
 
Wal-mart has a maxi-peg display of series 5 minifigs on a random side-end cap not in the LEGO aisle.

Target has a standup display of series 5 minifigs in the kids DVD section of electronics :/
 
So, not really a deal, but I found the Pirates of the Caribbean Black Pearl tonight. I must say, it looks pretty impressive. I will be waiting on a sale though. This was at Target for $99.99

yeah I noticed it too, but it looked small. Seems like the length is shorter than it should be.

I picked-up some at TRU (Glendale, CA) last night. They where 2 for $5.

I grabbed a pair of dwarfs.... not too hard when you know what to look for.

It seems that maybe they are overproducing? or maybe not much of a demand on these series?

TRU had 3 boxes plus one endcap.

Target still had about a box, but seems like they refreshed the endcap again, because I noticed some gladiators in there.

I'm not much of a fan for series 6 though.

Not much for armies. I think Alien and the minotaur might need a few, but the rest are only going to be one or two... Like I need 2 Statue of Liberties.

I guess the genies I could use... a few more.
 
Picked up the Lego City Seaplane at Kmart for $4.50 on clearance

I defintely pick up the Lex Luthor and Supermans set, maybe the Catwoman and Batman set too.
 
Saturday Oct 15th from noon to one Kmart is having a free mini set build n keep going on.

just a generic kingdoms archer with target and whatnot, but it's free...



"Lego Make and Take In-store Event. Calling all Lego Fans! Come to Kmart and build a 31-piece Kingdoms Crossbow mini figure you can take home. Saturday, October 15 from noon–1 p.m. While supplies last."

If you have a Kmart and a TRU in the area, you could make both events on Saturday.


To note, TRU stores will have 150 sets for their Cars 2 event. What I read earlier was for one box, but stores should be getting 3 boxes.

would be nice, but I bet it's limited to kids only... I don't have kids.

It's a nice set to grab too, because I never found these at target......
 
[quote name='xycury']would be nice, but I bet it's limited to kids only...[/QUOTE]
It's possible, but not certain unless explicitly stated. A few months back, Borders had a release 'party' for some new kid's fantasy book about mummies. They gave everyone who sat and listened a free Pharaoh's Quest #7305 Scarab Attack. My friend and I actually got two each, they had so many left over, and we're both in our 20s.
 
Just saw the Target ad for next week, they are going to have the Black Pearl Poly included with the purchase of Pirates: On Strangers Tide 3D.

For those of you who don't know what Lego set this you can google Lego Sun Pirates promo and look at the images.
