[CAN] walmart Battle of Helm's Deep $129. YMMV
Subject says it all. According to Walmart's website, some stores are clearing out Helm's Deep for $129, which is about $41 off.
Also Ninjaga Epic Dragon Battle is down to $98.
Again, it will depend on if the store in your area is offering it. Your mileage may vary.

Tempting, my area is doing it but the having just missed out on the Amazon.co.uk deal, I kinda wanna wait until Amazon UK has it back to its lower price...hmmm...
EDIT: Called my local Walmart that had it according to the online site, but I gave them the UPC number and they don't have it...odd considering how big of a set it is and every time I've been in a Walmart I've seen them carry it. Might need to bus there to take a look...

You'll save $10 after tax if Amazon drops their price again, it's shipped UPS, and you don't get charged duty. So the savings could be less if UPS doesn't handle it, or it could be more if they charge you duty. I'm tempted to pick up another copy so I don't have to deal with my wife getting another package and saying "Seriously, more Lego?"

The $129 price is also available online now along with free shipping. I've ordered one for now, while waiting for the Amazon.co.uk one to drop in price. Got about 90 days for the Amazon.co.uk one to drop in price, and if Amazon's price does drop, I'll return the Walmart one.

Still not big enough of a discount from Walmart for me to pull the trigger, this is like a typical Toys R Us kind of sale, without their markup offcourse.hatcher wrote:Subject says it all. According to Walmart's website, some stores are clearing out Helm's Deep for $129, which is about $41 off.

Would you bite for $112.5 plus taxes or ($127 total) at sears.ca? See my post in the sears vampyre castle thread. Mind you, there is a $3.95 charge and you have to spend $200 to get that discount.
Re: [CAN] walmart Battle of Helm's Deep $129. YMMV
Thanks for the calculations on your post, but I was hoping for the Toys R Us error like discount on the set which was around $80-90, now that would be a great price to get another for. Walmart will get that low but not when everyone is buying it for $129.ricefields wrote:Would you bite for $112.5 plus taxes or ($127 total) at sears.ca?

that error wont happen again on this set. Helms deep is sold out at sears.ca
Re: [CAN] walmart Battle of Helm's Deep $129. YMMV
Saw those two sets at the clearance price in Queensborough Walmart in New Westminster, BC on Saturday.
Re: [CAN] walmart Battle of Helm's Deep $129. YMMV
you can easily get it on eBay US for around 90 if you have the passion to bid, I got it for 91 but should got it for 89, but it may have tariff when it comes to Canada

I thought so, Brickset has Helm's Deep $129.99 as MSRP. Is this a deal?

$129.99 is the US price I believe. In Canada its $169.99, so this is a deal.exciter1 wrote:I thought so, Brickset has Helm's Deep $129.99 as MSRP. Is this a deal?
Yes, it is possible to get it for less by buying from the US, but you always run the risk that they will ding you for import duties crossing the border.

Re: [CAN] walmart Battle of Helm's Deep $129. YMMV
between 129 for helms deep and 98 for epic dragon, I would rather buy the epic dragon at the lower discount as this is a tougher set to get and has the higher potential to get more on investment and resale (and especially if you think walls are boring!). Epic dragon is also only $10 difference between US and cdn msrp whereas its $40 between helms deep, and that factors into the end value which is primarily based on the US dollar value.
