Friends - general discussion

[MartinP]

Thank you I will keep an eye out on the first of each month. 

Also remember that VIP members get early access to certain sets before they are released to the public.

I am think you are talking about the one on the lego site were you get points when you shop online or in the store. how do you get to get ones before they come out to the public.  I have not got any thing on it yet but I am a member.  with the points and this for being at no cost this is really nice.

They just announce it to you via email that the particular set is available to VIP members X amount of days early.

That's true. They will send out an email to you about 15 days before the set is released to the general public.

I hope when the new sets come out I get a email. if not I will make sure I am a VIP. now is there a way to look and see how many points you have. that way I know .

I could almost understand putting 10 of the same, wrong set in the box, but SEVEN different sets? Unbelievable.

That's kinda funny. Seriously they think they're filling Happy Meal boxes over there, and not taking requests.

I'd probably pay retail for the Dog Show and the Beauty Salon. I wish I had more of them!

I wish I just had one of each of these sets lol. I wish I would of got in to these last year for my daughter. she loves playing with these.

Whatever sale it was, you will have missed it by about half a year. Check the date on the last post.

I just found the series 3 Friends animal sets today at a Target about 45 minutes away.  I had checked two other Targets yesterday and one other one today, but I was only able to find them at the one.

Thank you. I will start looking for them at target today.  happy to know they are starting to make it in the stores. I don't know if Walmart will have them yet . I will take a look and post if I see them the next time I am in there. 

[never2old4lego]

I haven't come across any at Walmart yet, but I check every time I'm there.

[kit]

I went to Target and Walmart and they did not have any of the new ones yet. I will keep check and will let you all know if I find them.

Is it just me, or do the Friends LEGO very rarely go on sale?  I collect all the themes, but if I am in a store I rarely see these discounted.  I have grabbed lots of Walmart sales and zero friends sets.  Any thoughts on this??

[justafrog]

I found the Friends stage and Olivia's treehouse sets both at the most recent Walmart clearances in August.

[cobi]

WOW.  I am in Ohio and have not ever seen any on sale in the stores I go to. Maybe I'm missing them.

You must be missing them.  I've found plenty of discounted and clearanced Friends stuff in Ohio.

Maybe, maybe not. Rarely have Friends sets gone on sale around me. Now I have seen Olivia's Treehouse for $14 I think at Walmart same as justafrog but not the Rehearsal Stage. (Actually, that has been the only Friends set I found on sale at Walmart.) Target has been a little better but still nothing to whoohoo about. Best I remember seeing at Target was City Park Cafe for around $27 with anything if it goes on sale was a buck or two off.

I have seen most of the sets go on sale, but the sale wasn't that good. They were maybe 5-10% off. That barely covers the sales tax in my state.

Those sales are the ones that give me both the biggest laugh as well as annoyance. Such a low percentage hardly constitutes as a sale to me but the store's district or department manager would think otherwise. :getlost:

[peculiar23]

I just missed a stack of Emma's sportscar that was on clearance at Walmart for $11 then dropped to $3. I saw the change on the app but all the sets disappeared before I got there. Now they have the stage at $12 considered getting a couple but decided to chance it dropping further.

[DoNotInsertIntoMouth]

I don't see the kind of discounts on them that I do on the regular sets in my area most of the time. But honestly, mos tof the stores don't have a lot of them in general.

Those Friends sets are being cleaned out constantly and quickly.  It's hard to find them at deep discount where I am.  I'll be lucky to find any clearances at 50% for that matter.
