stackables Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Is this set ever going to go on sale? I have been watching it forever and I have never noticed it dropping below retail. Has this been on sale yet? This is the last set I need from the original LOTR sets. Quote
Veegs Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Its availability has been extremely limited - I have never seen a good discount on it. In truth, I'm kicking myself a little for not grabbing enough of these during Black Friday to get the free holiday set & free shipping. Apparently S&**** will have a double VIP w/ polybag coming up (or maybe just a rumor...not sure if it was 100% confirmed) and I'm using that as my chance to grab them right from S&****. Quote
kerrmando Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 I don't think it will ever go on a major sale. If there is an opportunity to get it BOGO anywhere I'd hop on it! Quote
redeemed763 Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Its funny, I had the exact same problems myself, I finally just grabbed one at full price in Delaware while on a trip (no sales tax). I am going to watch for SOME kind of discount on this set but I don't know how people claim to never pay more then 25% below retail when there are sets like this that don't seem to ever be on sale, even the Uruk Hai army has been impossible for me to squeak a meager discount on.

Legodog Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Is this set ever going to go on sale? I have been watching it forever and I have never noticed it dropping below retail. Has this been on sale yet? This is the last set I need from the original LOTR sets. At some point Target should have a BOGO 50% off sale. If they still have these in stock it would be a good time to pick one up at a discount. The issue might be finding one. Around here one Target store has 6 while the other has none. Quote
wallwebber Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 The lowest price I have seen them at was around $37 and change. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 The only sales I seem to find anymore is online, and I have been pricematching at Target with the other competitors. Haven't once seen "The Orc Forge" discounted. Not even a dollar off. I waited a while when it first came out, but ended up saying "screw it" and picked one up. Glad I did, I can't find it and most of the other LORD OF THE RINGS sets from last year. Quote
tigereyes5811 Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Well during Xmas the Urak hai army set was at $24.99. At Target, Walmart, and amazon. I grabbed a bunch. The Orc Forge is a specialty set. Like the Monster Fighters the zombie. It's exclusive so even at regular price it's still worth it. Might never go on sale. I remember the Zombie set did at Target for $30 and they flew off the sheves...never to be seen again!!! Even at regular price!!! That set is gone forever, unless you want to spend $100. Set for thought!!!! Quote
cvail8 Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 I've been watching this set for awhile. I think it's about time to grab a few before they become the next Zombies. Quote
Grolim Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Definitely the hardest of 1st wave LOTR sets to find. I picked up a couple way back before Xmas at 25% off, but haven't seen them since. Quote
wallwebber Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 I found 2 orc forges today at target. Paid full retail price of $39.29 each. I think by the time they do go on clearance, there won't be any left. Quote
stackables Posted February 21, 2013 Author Posted February 21, 2013 My local store doesn't have them. Might just break done and buy it online. At least I get free shipping and basically no tax. Quote
kerrmando Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 I think they are a great buy even at retail. I've had no trouble selling them online already for around 60 bucks! I think i'll grab a few more the next AFOL discount day. Quote
TheDarkness Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 I believe this set will hold up well. I think there are enough people specifically wanting the Uruks with the white hand helmet and shield in the long term. It definitely is difficult to find! Quote
exciter1 Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 I picked up another one today using my Red Card. Quote
sadowsk1 Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 I'm hoping for a sale on this one. Is it that popular that it doesn't go on sale or does Target have a backlog of them in their warehouse? Wasn't it a year or two ago when they put their exclusive Lego sets, Cad Banes Speeder and Toy Story Pizza Rescue set at half price online? That's when I picked up a copy of each. Maybe I'm just being optomistic so I don't have to pay full price, lol, I do want this set! Quote
stackables Posted March 3, 2013 Author Posted March 3, 2013 Right now I am refusing to pay retail for the set. Hopefully It doesn't bite me in the butt. Quote
exciter1 Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 We'll see, time will tell. I did get a MF: Zombie set on sale last Fall, but I only got one. I now have two of these and I'm content and I don't have to worry about another unexpected EOL like the Zombie set. Quote
