Re: Target Closing All Stores in Canada

I liked shopping at Target, my biggest problem with them closing is that Wal-Mart is now going to become even worse, they can raise the price on their goods and slash employee hours.... as if the line-ups there aren't long enough as it. They can do all of this because they no longer have a direct co...

Emmet artwork....

Not technically a lego creation but I thought perhaps some people here would enjoy seeing it. It's a quilled version of Emmet, quilling is essentially just an art/craft where paper is twirled up into spirals or various other shapes, pasted together or onto a canvas. This is Emmet from the lego movie...

Re: [Canada] ToysRUs 20% off LEGO City, Creator, Basics

I find it hard to believe that zellers only gets it for 30%-34% off msrp but cannot question someone that works there! There are many people who sell lego privately through kijiji, craigslist and ebay who manage to get product at cheaper prices than zellers. Often I benefit from 30% off msrp and no...

Re: [Canada] ToysRUs 20% off LEGO City, Creator, Basics

I work at a zellers and can tell you that according to the retail cost (easily found by any staff who knows how) for zellers is about 30-34% less than the MSRP, this works out to a 50% mark-up. While zellers is often seen as the black sheep in Canadian retail they do really good toy sales and I doub...

Re: Amazon Fr. Lego Series 7 Box 60 Pre Order EUR 91.54

Received my shipment this morning, everything was still sealed up nicely, haven't gone through them yet but I'd be surprised if anything is amiss.

Re: Further Walmart rollbacks YMMV

My understanding (from talking to someone who used to work at wal mart) is that their clearance pricing is on a store by store basis and is up to the department heads/store manager to decide which items to mark down as they have a set amount of markdown dollars in the store or by department (can't r...

Re: [Canada] Zellers BOGO 50% off LEGO City Sale

Selection is likely pretty weak everywhere, I know my zellers hasn't received any new stock since Christmas by the looks of things.

my halloween decoration for last year.

Been kind of dead in here lately and I've meant to post this for a while I just haven't had time to do so. I decided to use my parents collection of old bricks to do a ghost for halloween, when I looked at the final product I decided it looked an awful lot like a pac man ghost so I continued on to m...
