Walmart Canada Sales and Clearance

[maryjmeg]

I sometimes worry my account will be flagged and banned too, because I have bought a lot of multiples of sets whenever there are clearance deals. However, I try to keep each individual order to 3 sets, and so far, so good. I just got a shipping confirmation from one of my Classic Tower orders from this morning, so no problems yet.

Sad day, went to get more in store... Completely sold out. Saw 5 Duplo boxes left. Out of stock online. Why didn't I just order 6? I had a gut feeling this would happen.

These went quick in-store as well... I pass 4 walmarts on the way home from the office, the first 3 stops had none whatsoever (& these were the usually less trafficked ones) in the 3rd I happened upon the stock clerk in the toy section restocking the endcap with the Duplo boxes & she said they sold 60 boxes of the classic in the first couple hours the store opened, there was a line up at the door before they opened!  (they're already on local kijiji at $65)   the last store on the way was the fancy new superstore which is always the busy one, so I wasn't even gonna bother but in the excitement of the quest I forgot to get cat food so stopped by anyway - they had just rolled out a fresh new pallet full - in the food section! as there wasn't any more room next to the toys.     (I bought the kitties the slightly higher end tins this week :-)

btw - a little bird told me there are 2 pallets to each store per Wednesday truck, 2 trucks during the pre-black Friday sale - so the next restock will be next Wednesday over-night... just say'n

No wonder why Lego executives claim there will be a "shortage" this xmas because they spend so much time pumping out this tower!

If there will be a restock next week, it will be madness next weekend after parents cannot find this item this weekend.

Just in case they don't restock next week I grabbed a few more. It will be interesting to see if they also put it in next week's flyer...

Cool. :) I have shipping confirmation for about 75% of my orders.

[Vodium]

Nice. I placed 3 orders to get my 20. I was a little Leary of getting a random ban from ordering to many of these. So i got a friend to order 10 more. And gonna check out my local Walmart tomorrow.

BF special coming up?

"The Brick Throne" more uncomfortable than sitting on the Iron Throne...

Saw some in store finally, skid was basically empty. Left em there as my 2 will be more than enough for whatever i decide to do with them.

Comments like these make me realize how small-time i really am in comparison to others!

[lego rules]

Me thinks there is going to be some returns to walmart :)

Eh, it's not that bad, you just need a bunch of tiles to make a smooth surface.

A throne of Lego you say... I like the sound of that! I'll make a draft in LDCad and get a part count.

And that is what will bring in strict purchase limits.

I won't be so sure about much people returning this... at $40 can't go wrong for keeping it for other kid's xmas or birthday present. 

One guy on RFD said last year he sold a bunch just selling them on Kijiji in downtown Toronto.

I hope no one ever returns that set, just ship them to me! I'll pay extra for the trouble. :)

I sold all of mine downtown Toronto last year.  I sold under 10 units but there wasn't that much competition.

 

Look on kijiji now!  There is a boat load of them for sale!

I have completely stayed away from this set this year.  I will be happily buying exclusives and getting my gingerbread house.

[tacsniper]

It will be interesting to see if the US are getting pallets of these as well.

That's the thing with these creative boxes, they're just classic system bricks & thus have no shelf life limit, like a series set, if you have the storage space they'll be an easy sell anytime of the year, who doesn't want/need basic elements?... actually these are kind of an anti-QF since everyone & their dog is trying to sell them on kijiji right now at +10% you'll score better if you wait a few weeks/month or more.

I plan on selling these over the next eleven/twelve months until the 2016 version

Agreed... last year I managed to get some from the mysterious stock Walmart found the first week of December. By the time the quick flippers sold out for $5 profit I had received mine and made $25-$30 per flipping them on Kijiji. People who held out until January were hitting $35-$40 per selling locally. I stopped following after that. :)

If there's any pickers in the lower mainland that managed to score a good load of these..... I'd really love to get 2 or 3 more at as close to original cost as possible. If anyone is willing to share some holiday spirit with a local meetup and exchange I'd love to hear from you by PM. Might even consider throwing in a holiday train to sweeten the deal for you.
