Rules in Quebec for error pricing.. it allow you to get 1 item at the error price, not all of them, everything else is the original price minus 10%.

The law obliges them to sell you at least one of them at that price. Go back and get it! and dont forget to bring the penny.

[flord]

That's only for an error in price, not to force them to sell you something. Two different things. As a private company they can choose to sell whatever they do or don't want.

Something like this happened to a friend of mine once, it was at Toys 'R' Us in Richmond, BC about a year ago and they wouldn't sell the item because it was marked at .01 and that meant it was recalled. Even when he said he'd pay full price for the item, they still couldn't do it. The manager even had to come to the register to explain that 1 cent items are off limits and need to go back to the manufacturer because they were recalled for whatever reason and shouldn't have been out on the floor. I think he was given a gift card for $20 or something. Not sure if there's a law protects stores in that kind of situation but that's what happened.

Apparently, the only obligations in honoring pricing are if the product itself is physically marked with a error'ed price tag or the shelf location where the item is "regularly" stocked is marked with a shelf label (ie wouldn't count if it was moved to an end cap or temporarily placed on a supply cart/dolly, or moved to some random location by someone).   However, there is a "voluntary" compensation program (www.opc.gouv.qc.ca) (also more info available at the federal level on the Competition Bureau's website) where the vendor promises that in the event of a pricing error (on electronic scanned prices) that they will give you the item free if it's normal price is less than $10  or sell you the item at a $10 discount if the price is more than $10 (so $10 is the highest refund possible). This programme was instituted to build trust and consumer confidence with the introduction of barcode scanners many years ago.  A few vendors still keep the policy alive but it's not mandatory.

Waiting for that turbo tank to hit 50% off.

Store availability shows that a Walmart near me had them for $70 ea. But of course I saw it to late.

[Shneebs]

A few new clearance items on Walmart.ca this morning - nothing too exciting, but did notice Friends Hot Dog Cart for $30.

[Vader888]

Saw these on clearance at Walmart McCowan/Hwy 7 location. Couple aisles from main Lego isle.

I've also seen a few Wal-Marts clearancing select buildable figures.  I picked up K2-SO.  I think he looks great!

[Sandwraith]

If i didn't collect black series figures i'd be all over these, especially the figures without human heads, they look great. Sadly though they are just too big to look good next to my 6 inch star wars figures

Out of stock...

A couple of sets added to the clearance section.

As Vodium said, seems to be a few sets on clearance at Walmart.

Notable sets I saw in store were Resistance X-wings for $65 and the Tie Striker for $60.  Not nearly as amazing as deals people are getting in the States, but that's probably (maybe?) near the best price we can expect for the X-wing.  I also saw the Web Warriors Ultimate Bridge Battle for $89.  As reported previously, many of the current wave of Constraction sets are $15.

Just this morning I got a few of last year's Killer Croc Sewer Smash for 33% off. Comes with a bunch of exclusive Suicide Squad figures.

Yes, you're right!  That was also discounted.  Airport Battle was as well, but out of stock at my locations.

That's the thing, eh? I keep seeing these incredible discounts in the states or other parts of the world, and many saying they won't pull the trigger on anything unless it's 50% off... but that's SO rare up here! Anything above 30% is something to consider imo.

[Zelgazra]

Except the market we're selling to is the same one our southern friends are. Be careful at 30%, because even at your minimum break even price, they can probably still ship up here cheaper, and profit. Unless the set is really hot and retiring soon, I'm cautious with 25-30% off.

[Codes]

Yes.  

And this is why I am way more stringent with what I buy and at what price.  I also find myself buying for me more often than not.

[Vodium]

~25 sets added to clearance. Only 25-30% off though.

[jimmajenga]

25% off a bunch of hard to find sets (simpsons, shield, PC, Batcave and maybe more!)

[jimmajenga]

... my wallet hurts now :/

[kd123]

I was having a perfect non Lego evening until this notification. 

Thanks!!!

Finally picked up a kwikE mart.
