Did you say Bionicle has appreciated as well? I don't see that at all. I need some good examples. Bionical (nay) I would say the haunted house, (yay), but I beleive it depends on several factors, one being the life of the set. If this set is available for say 5 years, all bets are off and the marke...

I am not trying to dump on this deal at all...but I think people opening up a credit card for this deal should think twice. A Hard Pull on your credit report should be worth a lot more than this discount to you. I have read up about various Credit Card deals, and they say $100 cash isn't enough for...

Price per piece is not very good, but considering it is retired, sells for 30% more on ebay and has several figs, I got two. Thanks for the post.

Same here, they added extra shelf space for them....I made two trips for 2x trucks.

Are there any sets that are not marked up 25% above MSRP?

It's not that SW has fallen out of favor but the markup from MRSP is now sooo high the discounts don't matter. (9_9) I think you have a good point about the markup. However, my contact at the local Lego store told me that SW is not selling well at all and Ninjago is selling very well, along with Fr...

I passed up several Black Perals on clearance at walmart for $69, and they sat on the shelf for weeks. So I sure ain't going to pay $75 for a so called "door buster". I think they will be around untill after x-mas, just like other sets years in the past when the prices were even better.

This is sad. Retailers have ruined Black Friday (changed it to Thursday night) and the sales too. Black Friday used to be something to look forward to, not now. I have never seen such a bunch of pathetic so called "door busters" in all my life. I would not even consider stepping foot in th...

Don't forget about price-matching. I haven't seen a TRU yet that DIDN'T have the pod-racers set in stock, and a lot of Walmarts still have them too. Maybe this is Targets way of getting back at Walmart for all the price matching they had to do for the $40 miners set (4204) a few weeks ago. See, Tar...

Nothing around me either. Maybe they will bring some to the stores or have the same online price.

This appears to be many or all of the same sets that are already on sale in the TRU Big sale book. Nothing new here just more advertisement.

I remember those days. They were great even though the selection was not.

I'm near Atlanta, nothin within the 300 miles here.

A cushion is exactly what the lady told me today when I asked to purchase the remaining two sets at the online price. Their inventory was correct, two sets left on the shelf, but you can't purchase them online. I also could not get them at the online price. Manager said NO! :cry: I think some people...

http://sites.target.com/site/en/spot/mobile_fiats.jsp?dpci=204-00-0484 Just copy and paste the entire link into your address bar. I think it will ask you for your zip code and then it will tell you if a Target has Army Men set in your area. Just delete and paste another DPCI number onto the end of ...

I guess I hit the jackpot, 30 army men and one squid. Other Targets around my area show in stock.

I just ran across two sets that were returned (because I have been to the WalMart enough to recognize the items weren't there before) and they didn't feel right. I looked closely and the tape seemed sealed, but....there was a small piece of scotch tape over the LEGO tape. I asked the cashier if we ...

Just went to Target and and they had set 3367 City Space Shuttle for $14 (50% off), I passed i was hoping to find a Sw set like the T-6 or Grevious on clearance. Did however pick up 30071 toy story army man polybag for $1.99 (50% off), so cheap for a different minifig i couldn't say no. Target near...

Alpharetta, GA Wal-mart now has the new SW sets on the shelf.

They would have sold it to you. The handheld PDA's still have the last clearance price which was 50% most likely. Agreed. I asked a guy with a PDA working the dept about it beforehand, so I took a $0 Portal Atlantis to the checkout which still had $49.99 price tag and they sold it to me for that. T...
