Do you really think it will be that in-demand?  There are probably 8 or 9 Gamestops within 25 minutes of me.  I assumed there wouldn't be an issue even if I struck out at one of them.  My priority that morning will be Lego Store...

My Black Friday shopping at S@H!

For me, it's just the case that I really want Green Arrow and Supergirl and I don't want to pay more than $10 each. I've got a ton of GameStops as well. I just want to guarantee getting one.

But, when I think about getting up that early and then think about picking it up for $20 and saving myself the early rise - it's tempting to stay home.

Yup LEGO Shop at Home black Friday is typically lackluster to say the least. It will be interesting to see what they drum up this year given the massive amount of discounts across numerous online retailers including "exclusives". (whatever that term means)

From what I remember last year, the best deals were in store. I'll be even further away from my closest LEGO store during thanksgiving so no chance for me to take advantage of those deals.

Given that these have already been sold for $99 at the LEGO Store in DisneyLand/World, maybe we'll see Temple of Airjitzu make a BF appearance again, this time at 50% off? Last year it was a "Buy ToA and get Ronin R.E.X. for free" offer, so this might be not too far fetched ...... ?

If they do this I am in.

I was hearing they open at 5, so I was thinking 3. But I'm also debating my time and sleep value and weighing eBay cost against that.

 

Confirmed by looking at the leaked Black Friday ad that GameStop opens at 5 am on Friday.

[VaderFan16]

I will be up early, standing in line, to get the Green Arrow polybag for the Lego Dimension collection I have been building up. I will have someone come with me that morning to pick up a second polybag and to share in my misery. There are a number of Gamestops in the area and do not see this as an issue being able to acquire.  I purchased the Supergirl bundle when Toys r Us had it on sale $30 off regular price.  I was also able to get the $25 GC at the time and TRUTH that day.

UCS Tie will be 20% off apparantly

[Miavia7]

How many lego towers should I try to get? How much do they sale for?

[iahawks550]

I will be buying 40-50. I'm not sure how many YOU should buy. They sell from $40-$100 depending on mode of selling.

I'm thinking about skipping this year.  Soooo many brick boxes out there right now, large ones too.

I skipped last year. Many on here use CL as a means to move these when other sales avenues, Ebay & Amz are too saturated. I don't have that luxury.

I don't either, only gun and 4-wheeler collectors around here.

[iahawks550]

There are, but these are really easy and quick sellers in my local CL area. Worst case scenario is a quick flip for $20/each profit with minimal work. Scatter in a few ebay sales and it can be a ~$1,000 venture, which is good for a small dude like me.

I sold all of mine on Amazon last year, but I'm not sure how they'll weather the storm on there this year.

I wish that I were near a LEGO store. Would love to buy a few of the Doctor Who sets for $30. Just noticed that at LEGO shop at home it appears as "limited exceeded"? What is that?

[Lordoflego]

Yes, limit exceeded, in my account too, I could understand if I previously bought dr. Who from LEGO Shop at Home but I think I only bought from lego store so do they track it "like that" now...

I'm really curious about it. I've only bought 3-4 max and it was one the set was first released. I've viewed it so many times since then and "limit exceeded" never appeared before. I'm not used to that status. I did purchase them online (don't have a store nearby). Could it be because of upcoming Black Friday deals? Holding back stock until then? That wouldn't make any sense at all. Surely they would prefer to sell at full price now. I hope they aren't monitoring purchases this closely now and limiting purchases. Maybe its a mistake?

[ravenb99]

it just shows that after you add them to your cart from that page.  It still puts them in your cart.

Does it on all the sets now if you ad limit put them up in cart then says limit exceeded on the item page.

Geez. I do feel silly. Thanks. There are indeed two in my cart from when I was browsing earlier in the week. Thanks!
