Those have a serious lack of Castle figures, and none of them seem like must own. Perhaps I will try to get the first one, but I doubt it.

[Zepp-Head]

The classic space helmet mold is destroyed, that is the best we'll ever get.

[cybrwzrd]

I got 4441 Police Dog Van for $15 at my local Wal Mart on clearance for some reason. I had to grab it - just for the muscle car. There is one left there (Bremen, GA).

I'm not going to go for the bricktober stuff this year at Toys R Us, I got all 4 magnets last year, but spening over 60 a week is too much for me being that there is nothing I want right now.

My local target didn't even have a spot for the Ghost polybag. What gives?? I'm gonna have to run all over town for that stupid thing, I think.

It's pretty cool, you'll be glad you did.

Finally opened my series 8 figures, and love the Santa; so much better than any they've put in a set.

[RoarImAPanda]

if anyone is interested in the lego olympic minifigures i have a few leftover from the box i got (i live in the united states not UK) not enough for a full set of nine, i have 6/9 plus a few more. I would be willing to sell for about 8 dollars a figure (including shipping) i am open to trades for batman and/or starwars figures too.

[Zepp-Head]

My local TRU has mistakenly put all 4 Bricktober minifigure sets on the LEGO shelf today, complete with tags. The tags even said Bricktober #1,2,3,4 on them. Uh oh somebody goofed up. And they qualified for the B2G1. Needless to say, I bought 6 of them. Cost $100 but at least I didnt have to spend $60 just to get one free. I also applied some $10 rewards which knocked the price down further. And it also saves me the time of hitting TRU every Sunday morning in October. So I'm happy for their mistake. There were lots of kids and moms getting them too. They are pricey, yes, but still pretty cool and the discounts take some of the sting out. They only had received 10 of each Volume, so yes they are very very limited. Of course, these usually show up on TRU.com at some point.

Received a card in the mail today. Double LEGO store/online VIP points in October oh yeah!

[The Green Giant]

Those sold for $20 years ago and they are CHEAP Chinese from what I heard. But 6 for $100.

[Zepp-Head]

Big Daddy: The quality seems fine to me. I probably overpaid but I'm a sucker for vintage spacemen and castle figures.

[The Green Giant]

That's great to hear, I don't own them, not my thing, but I remember them coming out and people complaining.

And you didnt over pay. The price I thing was $20 for them, plus you could check eBay too and I'm sure they are a lot more. Nice finding of TRU screw up.

[El Rey]

Same here but I am all caught up on everything I need at the moment.

Not really interested in those vintage sets, may have to see them in person (and get lucky) to make a final call. May regret it later if I don't at least take a look at them


I have an extra series 8 Shakespeare guy to trade for a series 8 lederhosen guy if anyone has an extra

Hey Prim do you know if the minifigure display shelves will be eligible for the BOGO 40%?

[Zepp-Head]

I just realized that the 2012 Bricktober sets are slightly altered from the previous versions, likely because there were 5 sets before and they had to remix figures from Vol. 5 into the 4 weekly packages: here are the figures that were removed from previous versions:
Vol.1: Crazy Scientist (2002)
Vol.2: none - identical to 2012 set
Vol.3: Yellow Spaceman (1979) , Black Falcon Knight (1984) , Pirates Imperial Guard (1989)
Vol.4: none - identical to 2012 set, although as mentioned earlier, the Blacktron spaceman now has yellow hands instead of the black gloves
Vol. 5: 4 of the 5 female minifigures have been integrated into the 2012 sets, except for the Flight Attendant (1994).

Big Daddy, you are close - the original retail price was $17.99, although some volumes briefly made it to the Shop@Home clearance page and were sold for much less. The ones I just bought cost me $15 each plus tax, so yeah I did pretty good.

[The Green Giant]

Oh they are different sets, interesting.

I'm glad you got sets you wanted for less than $240 plus tax.

[Condor80]

I went to a yard sale on Saturday and found the Agents speedboat rescue in a ziploc bag. I asked how much it was and the guy said $5 and that it was all complete. I looked through it and saw the figs were there so I thought the figures were at least worth the $5. I put it together at home and not a single piece was missing except for the extras. The kid even left the used sticker sheet inside one of the manuals. I wish he had others though knowing how good the condition was.

[ackbar7]

I am not sure if anyone here is a Doctor Who fan, and I personally have no experience with Character Building bricks (though I am awaiting an order of the Tardis) but Amazon currently has a 4 pack of the minifigs for 11.99, these usually go for $5-7 each, or $20 for the 4 pack, so this is a pretty good deal on these figures. I picked up a couple of the packs just for some interesting minifigs.

Noticed on SD that they have a number of the more expensive sets on sale at Amazon... Would have jumped on the Town Hall at $162 if Amazon didn't start charging tax here a few months ago. Now I have to think about it...

Same. Tower Bridge is also cheaper at Walmart.com.

[ackbar7]

Received my Doctor Who Tardis set, and it is a sticker disaster. Lots of little stickers, some go on the sides of the flatter pieces. Luckily they do supply some extra stickers in case you mess it up. Looks nice when I got it together, and the pieces seem to lock together fairly nicely. All and all not bad, everyone should just be aware of how much more difficult the stickers are on this set when compared to LEGO sets.

[Condor80]

The 5 packs will be free with a $60 purchase.
Also during this first week of Bricktober, there will be a BOGO 40% sale going on.

Next weeks buy 1 get 1 40% off excludes Ninjago, Technic & Friends.

If you need to use this sale to pick up any of the LotR sets or exclusive Star Wars sets, I would recommend you pick them up on Sunday. On Monday those sets get marked up to the previous outrageous TRU mark up prices they once were.

Hey Prim do you know if the minifigure display shelves will be eligible for the BOGO 40%?

Construction sets only.

[El Rey]

D'oh! Thanks prim, guess I'll just have to face the fact I'm going to have to get these at full price. Weird thing is that TRU is cheaper than the Lego store for these

[husher]

Grabbed the Lego Harry Potter game on clearance at Target today for $16 (50% off $32).

Brickset shows series 2 for $.09 a pack thru an amazon seller...shipping is $4 for each pack! $40 shipping for 10 minifigs sounds fair to me.

YOu always seem to know ahead of time the upcoming deals/promo at TRU. What's the secret, man?

He works there.

I just got a seasonal job at the local TRU too... man, are they weird with Lego. Still have series 6, Alien Conquest, Atlantis, Toy Story 3, and Prince of Persia out (all at full MSRP+ TRU tax), no LOTR sets (though I did find 1 Frodo poly yesterday), no series 8, and no zombie polys.

[The Green Giant]

The red pessenger train is 26% off and is now less than $97.

Just got a coupon in an email from kmart for 30% off my entire toy purchase for tomorrow and sunday. includes clearance items.

Just got a coupon in an email from kmart for 30% off my entire toy purchase for tomorrow and sunday. includes clearance items.

Here is the LINK

And to add to that a rumor from someone on the inside that they will be doing 50% off extra clearance toys all next week.

this is from an Affliate to Kmart.

So $50 Lego will be $25, and 70% of that is only going to be 18.75. Not as good as a straight 75% off, but not too bad (63.5% off).

I will be stopping in on Sunday. Won't be able to post if it works as planned till I get home, late.

[Max Power]

I clicked on the link and it doesn't show the coupon. Am I missing something? Is this in store only?
