[quote name='Zepp-Head']Thanks dan!

I forgot to mention: I did a Target LEGO run last night and took along in my car the Temple of Doom that I bought at 30% off. I had called a store and told them to do an area DPCI search and there were NONE left anywhere in the state - possibly they all sold out at 30%. However, I asked him just out of curiosity what price his store would be currently selling them for if they had any and he told me $44.xx , 50% off. So I headed there planning on doing the return/re-buy the next day method. So I returned the TOD and while browsing the store, I found a Garage at 50% off and a Duplo Farm set at 50% off for my daughter. They had other clearance still at 30% off, so I guess I lucked out on those 50s. I picked up a couple of the last Campers at 30% anyway - thats a pretty good price for that set. On my way to check out, I noticed a lineup of full carts with returns wating for restock by the trading card section at the end of the registers. My TOD return was in there, so I just grabbed it back and re-bought it for 50% off. They had other LEGOs in those carts too, but they were too buried. Just a heads up to check out those return carts people, that is where you'll find more deals. Just as long as you don't find something that I returned and planned to re-buy the next day LOL ;)[/QUOTE]

the camper is on clearance? im gonna have to check that out.

Yeah, its about $11.00 . It was a recent markdown I guess - when the clearances first started a couple weeks ago it was still full price everywhere. What I can't figure out is why they are clearancing new stuff like Prince of Persia, but they still aren't clearancing the Beach House and Police Station - the Target stores are packed with them and they are both 2008 sets !!!???

Maybe there is an email preference you have to check or uncheck on your account. I didn't get one either, but hearing what others got, I don't care enough to check.

Lucky. I always return my stuff right before closing and try the next morning. This works 90% of the time when schools in, but during the summer there are alot of kids wandering the toy aisles begging their moms to buy this and that so you have to be quick/lucky.

Yeah I can't figure out why those beach houses have survived this long...I would actually buy a couple of those if they ever dropped. I haven't seen the camper on clearance at any store and I've been to at least 10 different ones!

Nope, I usually get all their other emails - no big deal because I won't have time to go there today anyway.

I just had a store do a local DPCI check on the Camper and only 2 of about 15 area stores even have them in stock anymore and its only a few sets. I suspect they went on clearance at all the stores in my area at the end of this week and were quickly bought by parents and collectors. I'm positive I saw alot of them earlier in the week. This Target clearance is really random and YMMV.

Most stores around me have similar clearances, while others are oddballs. The majority of my stores were only clearancing Duplo Farm when it all started a few weeks ago, then they added the City Corner, then later they added: SW Pirate Tank, SW Separatist Shuttle, SW Venator, SW Tank Droid, SP Galactic Enforcer, SP Space Truck, PM Titanium Command Rig, and Garage. And now they added the Camper. However at one store, all of the above were clearanced from the beginning (except the Camper), then they added 1/2 the Prince of Persia sets later on, and even later the SW Endor too. No other stores have Endor on clearance. I won't even start with all the variance with 30% or 50% off. Just plain random...
 
[quote name='dansoccerball']hey xycury have you gotten any of my messages?[/QUOTE]

Yeah I have been... I'm online... willing to trade.



Now on Target... there have been some clearences, I see but they've been wiped out. I don't know if there are alot of kids just waiting to pounce, or if Parents auto-OK purchases that are dismarked like that.

I was only able to find a few SW sets. The other sets were clearanced by the tag on the shelf... just no sets to be found.

I even checked a few targets, all the same thing.

Kinda annoying to see if I can get a set cheaper. It was sooo much easier when they moved it off the lego section and into the endcaps.

This...and there are alot of "clearance" shoppers at Target even more so in the summer. I see alot of the same women that just shop the endcaps looking for clearance. They can buy all the pillows, curtains, and clothes they want just leave the toys and electronics for me.

It is a good idea but between Target/Wal-Mart/TRU these stores only clearance there stuff out seasonally. This thread doesn't really move fast enough or have the need to front page everything.
 
Yeah, Target Lego clearance last only about a week or two and then the only stuff left is Bionicles and Duplo's. Not to mention they only do it twice a year with the exception of a set here or there. I usually post the day it starts to give everybody a heads up.
 
Got the two sets I really really wanted. Glad I checked this thread for the best deals

We were able to use both the 20% off, did not know about the email, and B1G1 50% off at TRU. It took an override from a manager who knows my wife from all the lego sets she buys. Plus my wife shares different coupons and strategies for getting the best deals on Disney Blu Rays movies with several of the employees and managers.

Lego train 7938 $64.99
129.99-65.00
Lego train 7939 $179.99
179.99-0.00
20% off selec item 36.00-
Total $208.98 before tax.

This was also the first time I saw any of the new lego trains.
 
I went to a target today and picked up

STar Wars Pirate Tank™ for 19.99$
Item #: 7753Ages: 8-14Pieces: 372

Power Miners Rock Wrecker 17.48$
Item #: 8963Ages: 7-14Pieces: 225

7195 Indiana Jones Ambush in Cairo 5.48$
 
[quote name='Animal7390']thank you and yes

could you get the toys r us item number please?[/QUOTE]

Thanks to this forum and prim4444 giving us the heads up, I called my local TRU today and found out that they got in the Toy Story alien polybag set. Here is the UPC from my receipt, if that helps: 673419140522 LEGO TS3 ALIEN SHIP
Even though I had no time, I went to TRU anyway and BOGO 50'ed ten of them with my coupon for a grand total of only $ 31.95 :cool:
They were keeping them at the Customer Service desk - probably true of most stores since they didn't have a location designated. They didn't really know what to do with them actually, other than the fact the system told them to price them at $3.99. I have a very strong feeling that Sunday's ad (or a near future ad) will show that they are to be given away free with a LEGO Toy Story purchase. But for now, nobody knows anything and they are just selling them outright. She said even with a limit of 10 per person (YMMV) they were selling like hotcakes, so I don't expect them to last until the assumed future promos come along.
I might get some more - I really dig those little green men! Growin' up, I always wished I could have some cool looking Martians like this to fight against my Legoland Space guys. :D

Nice purchases!

I was unlucky in getting the 20% to combo with the BOGO.... so well for this "bonus".

I had the manager there, and she wouldn't budge. She said if I had one of the $$ off coupons maybe... She also said she had been getting them in from alot of people.
 
Ok so I have been searching and looking around for Lego spiderman sets. Anyone have any they would sell me or know where I could get them besides eBay I've been watching bids for a while now and got a few sets but want them all

There's only a few options really.

1. eBay
2. Bricklink.com
3. Amazon
4, Getting lucky on CL
Considering the theme is now old, don't be surprised that the prices on LEGO Spiderman are high. It's the same with Batman. And Spiderman is only going to increase in price considering Hasbro and Marvel have extended their license agreement to 2017.
 
Ah thank you so much jay! Just checked bricklink and amazon and those prices are outrageous. I will just keep my eye on eBay bids and craigslist. I was a kid when Lego spiderman was out and I am surprised I did not
Want any then......

I got doc Ochs hideout for 51$
And the train rescue for 36$

Not that bad I guess pretty much I paid for what they would of cost at a retail store back I the day.
 
Just came back from checking out 3 TRUs. 1 of them had the TS Alien bags, BUT were limiting them to 10 per person when there were at least 50+ on the pegs. Manager told me there was someone before me who tried to buy them all. WTF? I hate stores that limit the quantity you can purchase, but then again I wouldn't have had the opportunity to buy the Aliens if TRU didn't place a limit. Works both ways I guess, but I want a gang of 'em!

No Lego Toy Story deals that I know of. Only thing going on is the Star Wars mini figure give away with purchase which stars on 8/6 and lasts until the 27th I believe.
 
Have I mentioned that I really, really, really hate the numbered bag system Lego has now. I went to TRU to look at, possibly pick up a few SW 2010 summer sets. To my surprise 5 Palpatine Shuttles, 2 Slave I's, 3 Wampa Caves, 4 General Grievous ships and 1 Plo Kloon Starfighter were all missing the first bag. All boxes open and first bag taken, I seriously don't know wtf the people at the store were doing. I'm going to contact there corporate office and complain about the theft problem. Apparently, when I talked to the shift supervisor it happens all the time.

Enough of my rant, thank you Zepp-Head for the UPC number really helped out finding the little green men. Here is the TRU item number that goes along with it $232637, I found a local store that some.

Damn, that's crazy ... I was annoyed that a couple of the stores had already been cleared of the new sets and are popping up on Craigslist at twice the price, but I think that's far worse. Damn thieves ...

I didn't know whether to be pissed off or depressed after what had happened to me the other day. I really wanted the Wampa Cave too but only ended up getting Plo Kloon's Starfighter. Upon opening that set up I realized the thief couldn't get the figure because it was placed in multiple bags. No wonder that was the only set that had 1 box open out of 8 or so sets.
 
At least they're new sets, so they should show up in large quantities soon. I can't actually think of a LEGO set that's been hard to find recently, as far as the major lines go (not including retailer exclusives, but even those seem fairly common). So I think they should be easy to find in time, though I'm sure Slave 1 will be in demand for awhile.
 
In the past 2 days I've been to two different TRUs where at the first I saw two passenger trains and the second two cargo trains. I just couldn't bring myself to BOGO them and try to sell one of each. Not after buying the space shuttle and imperial flagship already this month :/

Were the boxes opened on the floor or did they look like returns that someone sealed back? I think retailers need to be taking a better look at accepting LEGOs to see if the box has been tampered with and LEGO needs to make a stronger adhesive tape so when the box is opened it's really obvious. Shit like that pisses me off!

ONLY applies to Duplo, City and Prince of Persia sets. Excludes everything else.

All the boxes were opened and sitting on the floor opened, except one had the little tab going through the flap. I even found one of those security devices that wrap around the big boxes behind a few Endor sets. I started looking through most of the boxes and noticed all bag 1's were gone.

Good to see the thieves are smarter than TRU. TRU fucking deserves to be robbed from, asshole dumbfuck company.
 
Looks like Fred Meyer is clearing out some of their sets at 60% off, and don't forget the additional 10% off coupon. A few different Racers sets, most of the Cars Duplo sets, along with a couple of other ramdom things all were marked down today. I picked up:
IJ Canal Chase 7197 - $14.40
SP Freeze Ray Frenzy 5970 - $3.60
Duplo Mater's Yard 5814 - $7.20

Other stores may have a different selection so it is probably worth checking out if you have a FM near you.

Wow, those just came out. I wonder why they'd want to clearance them so soon?

BTW, it seems KMart has 50% off all clearance again...I hardly ever find clearance LEGO there, but I usually find some other worthwhile cheap figures and such.
 
[quote name='elsnerma']Wow, those just came out. I wonder why they'd want to clearance them so soon?QUOTE]
Now technically they are not clearance, however all of the other sets that are on sale are older sets that have been at 30% off for at least a month now. I was surprised to see the Cars ones on sale, but my daughter loves that movie so I had to get one for her.

see, its not the store that gets hurt, its customer when bag 1 is stolen, if someone stole the whole box or all bags, then its the company. also, tru does not deserve to be stolen from, they are actually one of the better stores, at least around here.
 
The TRUs around here treat people like shit. There are only three in the state that I know of and they are are horrible, horrible stores. it will be a good day when they go bankrupt for good.

Do you mean B1G150%? Because that's only 25% if you buy 2 of the same priced item.

How do you even get that to work? When the store associate scans the receipt the system will automatically give you the lower of the 2.

204-00-0368 Ostrich Race
204-00-0369 Desert Attact both at 50% off didn't seen any of the bigger sets so I can't confirm those.
204-00-0748 Hyena Droid

I also saw 5649 Duplo Horse Stables and the litte pink box but at 30% off.

Only downside of a gift receipt is that you get credit back, so it's not really like your saving a ton of money unless you keep finding amazing deals at TRU and only TRU since you're then locked in to spending at their store.

Agreed, there is only 3 here, and the 2 that I can get to, are AWFUL.
