Re: Walgreens Lego minifigure bags 20% off @ $3.19. Ends 12/

The Walgreens near my house raised the price about 20% before enabling this sale. So, the figures aren't really on sale at all. Le sigh.

Re: LEGO The Simpsons House Now Available - Early Access for

My Simpsons House arrived on Saturday. No bonus except for the poster.

I've only got through Bag 1 so far, but I'm enjoying the build.

Emmet Minifigure Promo for The LEGO Movie Videogame

Gamestop has a Western Emmet minifig as a pre-order bonus for the Lego Movie Videogame.

I don't see any bonus figs from Walmart or Target for the pre-order.

The game's release date is the same as the movie.

Re: LEGO The Simpsons House Now Available - Early Access for

I placed my order on Monday 1/20 and the status is still "Customer Service", but I see the charge as "pending" on my CC. Anxiously awaiting that status change.
Also, I only got the movie poster added to my order, no poly bag. :cry:

Re: LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Videogame Coming Fall 2013

...and I'm really enjoying LOTR although the open world with the side quests is a little confusing. I just started playing LOTR with my son last week. I really like it too but I agree the side quests and open world is a little confusing to me also. Hoping I get the hang of it. I think so far I like...

Re: Lego Simpsons in 2014?

Simpsons is one of the best family shows around. They always do things as a family, they always come together in the end. Much more loving as a family than mostl "family" T&A sitcoms/shows on TV and way cleaner than any reality show. If you let your kids watch TV, Simpsons is one of t...

I don't see Simpsons Lego as being so far-fetched. Lego has been going licence crazy lately.
I can't see Lego associating with South Park. Not exactly, family-friendly, I'd say. heh-heh.

Re: [USA] ThinkGeek 20% off when you spend $40

I agree. I was all ready to pick up a LOTR Black Gate, but after sales tax and shipping, it was only $1.11 cheaper than retail. Pass.

Re: BrickLink sold

^Actually, quite a few of the larger BL stores list wait times of several days or up to a week, due to the sheer volume on incoming orders I assume. So there is the chance for the hobbyist to earn repeat buyers based on the speed of their order turn around. I didn't think of it like that, but that ...

I found a helms deep in the clearance section at WalMart in Clearwater, FL. The box was bit dinged up, but it rang up at full price ($130), so it went back on the shelf.
