Re: ToysRUs.ca Boxing Day Sale 40%

My local Toys R Us has 75094 Tydirium Shuttle at $72, down from $120 today. Would've snapped it up if I didn't already own it as it's a fantastic set.

Re: TRU Streetview Collection x4 online

Shipping was effectively free on most of the things I selected. Pretty good deal I think if you don't already have those sets and they are something that interests you. You could sell them for $10 each pretty easily I imagine if you were so inclined.

Re: Official Press Release: #10247 Ferris Wheel LEGO Creator

The fact that it is powered by actual tires on the frame is a wonderfully authentic detail I think. Was not expecting that, but its very nice.

Re: LEGO 76042 The SHIELD Helicarrier Official Press Release

I know it's apples to oranges a bit but Parisian Restaurant 2469 pieces for $190 (CA) vs this at 2996 pieces for $400. At least make it seem like I might be getting value for money here. I pretty much exclusively buy $100+ sets when I do spend money, but this is just very overpriced, plain and simpl...

Re: Walmart.ca Clearance

I just walked into my local Target and they price-matched the $74.00 Star Destroyer no problem. Cashier girl said yes, confirmed with manager who also said no problem.

Basically, it never hurts to ask!

Re: Canada ToysRUs Week 3 LEGO Bricktober 2014 Sale

Went to my TRU (St. Catharines) today - all out of both the ARC and the Fire Station, so I guess they don't get very many of these in at all.

Oh well, all the more to spend on double VIP points when I go to the Lego store later in the month!

Re: Canada ToysRUs Week 3 LEGO Bricktober 2014 Sale

Shame. I will check mine, but $120 for the Vampire Castle, + ARC-170 + Mini Fire Station is something that might finally get me to make a purchase.

Re: LEGO Store Calendar, Nov. 2014 (US/CA)

Apparently there is no brick box this year - instead in the calendar you get there are coupons for a free minifig in January, February and March. No idea if they are exclusive or the build-your-own ones or what.

Shame though. I always liked the free brick box.

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

With freebees I still get a good discount on them. Heck, VIP bonus is 10% now. Also, this means you won't be pissed off later when it's offered at a much cheaper price. So it will keep it's value much better. In general I am not a fan of this move (things being more expensive = bad for my bank acco...

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

3 Helm's Deep left at St Catharines Toys R Us after I picked mine up today. $89 is a pretty good deal for ~1350 bricks. Especially if you sold off the mini-figures too if you just wanted the castle bricks.
