So here's my haul today since I had a 5 hour break between classes:
K-Mart:
Sports Car - 4.50
Jagged Jaws Reef - 7.50
Lotso's Dump Truck - 7.50
Army Men - 4
Looks like the TS3 Lego clearance is YMMV. The store where I got the three sets above still had Buzz's Spaceship and Army Men at regular price. All the sports cars I saw were really beat up, but the tape was still sealed so I took a chance.
Some bad news for me: I went back to get a TIE defender but the car I parked next to had already hoarded all the Legos. Like they were driving a shrinky dink Nissan Altima and the trunk and backseats were all filled with Legos. When I went to check the clearance section there were only a couple Atlantis sets and an opened Echo Base, and I already had those sets. Oh well, at least I scored some good deals before they came along. I bought another Army Men set because I was afraid someone else was gonna get the rest. Can't beat minifigs + extra pieces for a dollar each.
I went to some random toy store and found some Series 4...got 5 of them. I'll post what I got when I get back from class.
Someone posted that the Ambush in Cairo at TRU was clearanced to 6.98 and I couldn't find it at 3 TRUs, but one of the stores had like 4 boxes of S4 and they were placed in the main Lego section of the store, which is weird because the employees usually safeguard them at the register.
All in all, I've spent about $100 in Legos this week and I saved a ton of money compared to MSRP and besides missing out on a TIE Defender, I couldn't be any more happier. I probably won't have time to build all these sets at the moment because I'm graduating next month and still looking for a city planning internship/job.
HEY!
