Re: Walmart.ca - 2014 Ninjago on clearance

One of my local Walmarts would not match the price as it's a Clearance price. Hit or miss, just find someone that doesn't care and you should be good.

Re: Walmart Lego Clearance (YMMV)

Yeah those are just regular Toys R Us monthly sales prices of 20% off or so. Walmart is slowly gonna lose ground to Target if this is Walmart's new idea of "clearance". Not in my area they won't. "Clearance" deals like these still fly off the shelves. People see LEGO sets on sal...

Re: Sears hot deals

well, shipping to your home is almost $9... and I only bought $100 worth. Not exactly a stellar deal. And 13 Endor Battle packs? Seriously? even at 11.19 - 20% = ($8.95 each + prorated shipping)*tax == approx $10.25. How much money could you possibly make selling these battle packs? They work out t...

Ditto. 13 Endor Battle packs and an X-Wing.

Re: LEGO Stores & Shop at Home Cyber Monday 2013 Sales

Yes, it's not advertised but if you ask for something at the lego store and they do not have it in stock or carry it, they will check online stock and ship it to you for free, no minimum I believe. I know because they offered to do this for me on several occasions when I was looking for something s...

Re: LEGO CITY 7939 @ AMAZON UK for £86.66

I also grabbed a cargo train and tracks yesterday and then a passenger train and coast guard patrol today. I can't believe they still have Cargo trains left at this price, it's just about 50% off Canadian retail!

Orthanc (CDN) Reg $249.99 on sale for $199.97.

Proof that LEGO "price fixing" is pile of stinking doo-doo.

Re: No Discounts Policy on LEGO Exclusives & Hard to Find It

I forget if the article above mentions it but this policy applies to employees of Lego as well. My local store told me they can't use their discounts for HTF/Exclusive sets anymore either. This was supposedly one of the conditions of Amazon and others but who know for real. That is 100% not true, U...

Re: TRU Canada Bricktober Week#3 (Oct 11-17 2013)

I also heard about the memo from Lego regarding discounts to "exclusive" items a couple months ago and I haven't seen any exclusive discounts for quite a while.

Re: Fire Brigade 10197 and Town Hall 10224 Retiring soon?

My store hasn't received Fire Brigades for months but Town Halls are still coming in. How exactly did he say they weren't being shipped anymore? TLG hasn't shipped any lately? TLG won't ship anymore, ever?

Re: [CAN]: TRU Brictober Week 2 Oct 4th-10th 2013

I was going to give Futureshop or Best Buy a call but they're not "supposed" to price match if a competitor is out of stock. I've been "reporting a lower price" to Amazon.ca as well in hopes that they'll lower their price.

Re: Walmart canada clearance

In the past I've been unsuccessful with TRU matching the prices of other retailers but it has been a while since I've tried. Walmart usually has the best price match policy, and I wish that every other retailer would follow suit.

The prices are pretty good, below crappy Canadian MSRP which is awesome. I hope the selection gets to be what Amazon.com is.

Orc Forge is still available for $39.99. The Target store I visited today also had the Attack on Weathertop priced similar to Walmart's rollback price of $59.88. Which store is this?

Weathertop, Gandalf Arrives and the older spider one were on sale but can't remember exact price.

Re: Toys R Us Lego Star Wars & Turtles 25% Off 6/9-6/15

Anyone who is looking at the DS or SSD should alert Amazon.com of a lower price. That is if you want to save the tax or like me are located in Canada and want a SSD.
