I was at Richmond Hill, ON Walmart yesterday. There are several boxes of the following at the same discounted prices in legohunter's post above.
4182 The Cannibal Escape
4183 The Mill
4736 Freeing Dobby
Also a bunch of Mace Windu's and Geonosian Starfighters.

At least 4 or 5 boxes of each of the above sets, plus a few more that I forget, nothing super awesome IMO.

Burnaby Wal-Mart only has Golden Staff Guardians for $10 and some Hero Factory Cans. No Mace Windu's Jedi Starfighters even though I saw 50+ last week (someone must have brought them all).

They did have 5 Boxes of Series 6 thats somewhat untouched in the back aisles.

I saw a couple of Luke's Landspeeder at my local Walmart last week, and it was the first time I'd seen it outside of a LEGO brand store. I'm surprised to even see it advertised in their flyer, and at $5 lower than Canadian MSRP no less!

Lukes landspeeder is a walmart exclusive so its the only place to find this set before lego stores came to the Toronto area - this set has been out almost 2 years selling at walmarts but yes definitely hard to find them in canada this past year.

Agree. I have not seen it at any Walmart for a long while. And I was also surprised to see it on this week's flyer.

I hit a couple walmart's yesterday looking for kingdom set clearances. I think I saw this at the walmart at winston churchill and the 401. There were maybe 3 or 4 of them.

Yeah, I was aware that it's a Walmart exclusive. I think I was just surprised to actually find it, because like you said, it's been out for more than two years now. Even more surprising is that they chose to advertise it!

I've only seen Luke's Landspeeder when it was first released (and never again after that). Good to know they're finally stocking them again. :up:

A few good deals here in manitoba. several Star Wars, City, and Atlants sets were discounted but only by 20-30%. The highlights of my find were Mace Windu's Starfighter for $30 and Luke's Landspeeder for $20. I was surprised to find Luke's Landspeeder discounted and only found this at one store. Managed to pick up a dozen of each for a rainy day. Will be watching for further markdowns!

Barrie Walmart (Mapleview Dr - south end) has the Palpatine shuttle for $40. They have maybe 4 or 5 left. They also have 1 Black Pearl set left for $90.90, and about 5 or 6 of the Star Wars advent calendars for $35.

They also have a Battle of Endor set which I haven't seen in a Walmart for over a year for $129.

Also, all the Alien Conquest sets are on clearance, as are the Cars and Pirates of Caribbean.

Clearance except for the black pearl which is still on for 30% off since you say it is still $90.90. Battle of Endor at Walmart? Interesting since I have not seen one at Walmart for a long while.

New Westminster Walmart had Mace Windu at $40, AC Alien Striker $5, and a few Cars sets for $10. They did have the previous LEGO Exclusive 4206 Recycling Truck for $39.99. They also had a ton of those SW Landspeeders at $29.99. No sign of S6 Minifigs.

I don't know if they're still there but I saw in a cart full of random clearance stuff at the Agincourt Mall Walmart, there were 2 sets of 8096 Emperor Palpatine's Shuttle at $40. That's 50% off considering the retail price for this set in Canada was $80. I was considering buying it but I don't think I like Star Wars enough or at least that set in particular so I held back.

Rise of the Sphinx was down to $30 in Barrie today. They have maybe 3 or 4 left. Still a couple of Palpatine shuttle for $40.

What made me really upset was seeing the both the remaining Black Pearl sets hade been opened and at least half the contents of each was missing. And then I started noticing opened boxes all over the place. Do you not have security cams in your store?

I saw a few Palpatine's Shuttle too, but I already have one so I did not bother. Saving them for those that actually want one but yet to have one.
