Agree, it is and will be one of those sets that nobody want till it hit the 50% off or more clearance sale\bargain bin.

Yes, don't recall ever seeing Star Wars or Friends or any other themed LEGO Advent Calenders at Costco in the past. Typically only these at TRU, Wal*Mart, some specialty toy stores, and, of course, The LEGO Store or S@H. They had the Starwars and Friends one but were very limited and not all the Co...

Just got a set from vaughan mills discovery center today, they have at least 40 boxes on the shelf. Good luck. Half of them returns from sellers whom cannot unload. Ok, kidding aside, this set really is not worth the buzz. If this is the new green lantern set with a limited run THEN I can see why p...

I see the lego ghostship popping up on local toronto kijiji for $200!! Some greedy people who want to make a quick buck just buy without any knowledge of the product or the market, kind of like some of the people Lego hire and that is a fact. Laughable at those on trying to flip this, but sad reall...

That's quite odd. The sales associate I dealt with handed out rain-checks - it wasn't even my suggestion, he asked me if I wanted one and off I went... odd, they need to become more consistent! Just like Walmart, they are not and will never be. The better ones they hired when they first openned qui...

massakassa wrote:Oh well too bad no rain checks then, hopefully they will restock them though, the targets in my area are all out.

The sole reason why some of these sets will never see 50% or more.

Differnet Target have different clearance pricing now just like Walmart which sucks.

these are all over butvthe research institutes are no where to be found Agree, but I look at that more as another City set that went OOS. No big deal really. Still cannot understand what the big deal is with that and the exo-suit. If it was something like a licensed set say Macross, Gundam or Metal...

Fair guess, I say at least $50.

Was at Target earlier and saw these for 30% off: Ninjago Thunder Raider (70723) Ninjago Destructoid Limtied Edition (70726)(Target and Lego Store exclusive)(the Zane figure will be in the up and comming Ninjago Charater Encyclpedia book, so much for it being exclusive) Ultra Agents Toxikita's Toxic ...

Now I'm not saying that I don't believe this post, but then why would they not list the RI and the exo suit as, "Temporarily out of stock." Now I do believe that the Exo suit is going to have another production run, but over at the FBTB, they said that the RI was just going to continue be...

I also think the $13.44 after tax savings (12%) on the Ecto-1 at Chapters.ca is better than the ~$3 in VIP points and having to spend $40 to get the free $7 Mini Cooper polybag. I am not saying this is a bad promo at all on sets like ecto-1. And this set is over $40, so the chima polybag is automat...

20% off is a standard sale, but still good on items that are usually excluded. I purchased an ecto-1 for 20% off, which I hadn't seen on sale before. Thanks for posting the deal. Yes but with the Lego 5% VIP points and their polybag monthly promotion. I say even getting it at the Lego store is stil...

Not bad as Architecture sets are difficult to find on Sale generally. I still find Branderburg Gate to be over priced but I like the display value of the previous items in the line so ended up getting it. Agree, the only thing worth getting really. 20% is the norm for most sale, so no biggie, anyth...

Did not pick one up because it is some what over priced. But I will gradly get one if it is free.

With Costco I recall when they have the Temple of Light and some other sets on for half off during the final push to get rid of stocks. So I can see them doing the same IF these sets are still around in a couple of weeks.

Not sure if they will go under - but their Customer Service, etc. certainly feels like it's not getting any better... They sign a contract with a company which out source it to places like India what can we expect? Yeah about them going under, now I remember they are associated with Kmart, so unles...

Will wait for a closing clear out instead. R.I.P. soon Sears, sadly, like Zellers, we will not miss you.

You might remember my post desperately trying to find a Jabba's Sail Barge on Target... I live in Red Deer and visited 4 stores in Calgay with no luck, 5th was THE ONE!!! I found the barge (4), Cragger's command ship (1), huming spider droid (1), chima Eris' eagle interceptor (1) and ninjago garmat...
