Re: Official Press Release: LEGO 10249 Winter Toy Shop

I am actually excited to see that Lego re-releases popular sets. I am hoping the trend continues, and other sets like the collector's edition millennium falcon and the green grocer and café corner may see a re-release. Ouch... if they started re-releasing previous modular buildings can you imagine ...

Re: [US/CA] Official LEGO Shop Brick Friday 2014 Sales & Dea

I was going to buy the Simpsons house and Othanc. I ended up buying nothing. No double points is no deal, and that 2nd holiday set is lackluster. I can wait.

Last year I bought $600 with triple points. I hope Lego gets the message.

Lego Simpsons Series 2 2015

I just ran across this and didn't see it mentioned anywhere on this site.

Leaks from Simpsons Series 2:

I have no idea if this is fake or not, but it looked real enough to me.

Please enter me in the give-away as well. I would love to own this set and seemed to have missed out for now.

Re: LEGO Brick Friday 2013 FREE $10 Gift Card Expiration Dat

Wow, that seems really short.

Was the expiration date advertised anywhere up front?

Also: VIP points don't expire, do they?

Re: LEGO Black Friday 2013 VIP Early Access (USA & Canada)

I placed three separate orders. The first two went through just fine, an order number showed up in my account, but I never got an email confirming the order. The third one did not show up with an order number. My credit card showed three holds, one for each of the orders. (Noteworthy: none of the or...

Re: LEGO Lone Ranger 2013

It's not as easy as 50/50. It's like 90-10 the first weekend favoring the studio and but the 5-6th week it's like 20-80. But that's a good point, and then there is the cost of marketing that normally runs much higher than anyone would think. I think it was John Carter was rumoured to have marketing...

Re: [USA] Walmart Clearance Sale

If the store doesn't have "clearance money" from corporate it doesn't get reduced. What magical formula is used to determine which stores receive it? Only the Walmart gods know. All stores get clearance money, but it is up to the store manager how and where to spend it. Some stores spend ...

Re: kmart additional 50% off clearance toys June23-July6.

I was told that K-Mart has headquarters pricing, so store managers do not, in general, decide what's on clearance and what's not. However, K-marts are divided up in zones, and some zones may clearance an item when other zones may still have it at full price. It makes no sense to me, but it must mak...

So is it worth waiting for a discount on these at all, or are they pretty much $150 all year long?

Re: Pirate theme

I would suspect that the PotC theme will be re-launched with the two new movies that are being made. At that point it's pretty much a no-brainer that there will be a pirate ship, possibly more than one. I am hoping that besides whatever the new pirate ship in the new movies will be, they will finall...

Hey bob l.
Nothing is on sale. I always scan. I would love to pick up a few uruk hai sets at $11. Did you leave any in Salem? I'd drive down for those.

Shelves of Lord of the Rings Lego at full price. Is this the only K-Mart that doesn't clearance these?
