Quacs Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 It was great last year - enjoy! Take some pictures of the displays and post them to the forum. Sadly I have to miss it this year because of some in-law's wedding. Ugh- Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamhappyfrog Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 TRU in Deerfield has the new Movie sets grabbed Bennys psaceship and Emmets Construction mech. Got bennys ship for 15% off and the mech for $23 out the door with some coupons, still debating on the dropship, it looks like a fun build and has 8 figures. Are there any people by the Michigan Ave Lego store? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teamhappyfrog Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I am going to try that, I saw that people were getting those to work, I usually have bad luck with cashiers trying to stack stuff. Do you use your rewards card while stacking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supergtp1 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I did use my rewards card and I always checkout in the electronics/games dept... Those guys always seem friendlier and more willing to at least try. ? good luck! Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamhappyfrog Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Thanks for the tip about the electronics dept, I will say that your assessment of those guys is spot on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicblast Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Are there any people by the Michigan Ave Lego store? I am (~30 minutes), but I haven't visited in forever because the parking is a nightmare. I'll try to head over there sometime on the CTA. Since it is in Watertower, sale items do move quickly, which is why I haven't made a huge effort to drop by. Next time I do, I'll be sure to leave an update here!

teamhappyfrog Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I work a few minutes away from Watertower, so during the week I pop in there a few times. I have only stumbled onto a good deal a few times. They blew out the Lennox Lion chariot things one day for 70/75% off, so I grabbed 2. If you guys want any notifications for what they have there lmk and I can walk over during lunch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying to work a few LEGO-selling locations into my schedule, so I've been hitting a few Targets every so often to see if anything has changed. Where do the rest of you find and buy your sets from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamhappyfrog Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I hit the normal places: TRU, Target, walmart, kmart, b&******, lego stores and shopko. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teamhappyfrog Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Those are all active coupons or TRU that are being accepted in store. Check the first page of daily deals thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just buy another one this weekend from shop at home have $10 off anyway saves tax I think LEGO Shop at Home charges tax for us too, since there is a physical LEGO Store in IL, unless I'm wrong? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacs Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Orland Park and Northbrook both had Haunted Houses in stock two weeks ago. I would be willing to bet they have them now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacs Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I think S@H charges tax for us too, since there is a physical LEGO Store in IL, unless I'm wrong? Correct, CB. S@H charges tax to IL residents. I wonder if he has a coupon or perhaps a promo code. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjsrt8 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Yes with tax comes out to like 191, but having VIP points saved up brings down to 181 with some change. Got the order today I placed Sunday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
