8110 - Mercedes-Benz Unimog U 400

[Diabolos80]

The 4x4 is... disappointing. Even my 5 yr old says it is too weak. It really needs XL motors. But you're right, I mostly regret it because the unimog will retire first.

I picked up 8 today. Using the r rewards program. That was 25% off, double points. Got a $10 gift card for each and should be getting a $10 email gift card in email because it was in my wish list. Also bought 7 vampyre castles (same deals), also 4 helms deep same deal. They have 8 of the city mine that i passed on. Pretty awesome deal. I already had $90 in gift cards that i used as well. These transactions took forever.

just a curiosity: where are you from? which "toys r us online shop" are you referring to?

Sorry, I didn't see your question in time. It was toys r us online shop in germany

This is a huge set. Very I

pressive box art etc. Hopefully it eol's this year or early next year. For me it seems tru is the best options using all tools available.

The best investments tend to be what most people do not pay attention to. Demand tends to be higher later. Same in the stock market.

So for anyone.interested this one of the few sets you can pick up at tru on saturday with your rewards cc for 30% off. In store price is 209-219. Less the 20% coupon and the 10% saturday CC discount. 1 coupon per item. I have a stack of the coupons from last month. A great set that i don't really see anywhere else, much less discounted 30% off.

I don't know if it means anything, but both the TRU's in my area have had 1 Unimog on their counter for a long time. The boxes are beat to hell though, so that's why I haven't bought them. I got the one decent box at a 10% discount because of some minor corner damage. But when I asked if they had any in the back, thinking maybe they only keep 1 or 2 of their higher priced items on the floor, they checked and when they looked it up, they told me that not only did they not have any in the back, but they didn't have any coming in in the next few weeks. I would guess this has seen the end of its run.

Personally, it's cool looking. But the Technic kit that I keep wanting to bust open and put together is the Logging Truck. That just looks more interesting to me. Of course, that's a lot of $ to have to eat, so I won't do it....

Where do you guys get the 20%off TRU coupons???

Where do you guys get the 20%off TRU coupons???

The ones I know about were given out with receipts last week

[waddamon]

I had so many beyond what i needed i was handing them out to other customers yesterday. I bought all of the unimogs here in town that i could find. Total each excluding tax about $135.00. Picked up the last helms deep as well. With gift cards and coupons that one was $43.00. Abq tru are now empty of helms deep and unimogs. I have almost 20 vampyre castles that i paid 50-60 on average. What a great combo od coupons/discounts.

Buying one more from TRU then, haha......can't get enough of this sucker.

[waddamon]

Maybe i should pick up a few more next saturday at trus last 10% r us discount. Maybe they will roll out their best sale yet. There are 6 more on the shelf.

[Brickshopper]

On sale at lego B&M?

[waddamon]

On sale at lego B&M?

no such store in new kexico. Thankfully though as s&**** has no tax for me.

[nerdsforprez]

I also think this set will do exceptionally well. I have not heard anything further regarding Lego pneumatics, but last I heard Lego may be discontinuing them.  If that is the case, add the fact that this set has a relatively high number of pneumatic elements to the motley of reasons why this set may do well.....

I am up to 13 sets. I was able to score good price matches for tru bogo on their last three. I will stop in soon and see if they have restocked. Hopefully not. I will be very happy when this shows "retired" on LEGO Shop at Home.

[supraboy888]

If it shows retired, this set will see $300 as a minimum to begin its secondary market life. It can only go higher from there.

[toy brick salvage]

lego SAH only had 35 of these last night. so they say.

[greenwindow]

They told me today that they have 13 left.

[hxckid88]

where do you get an ebay coupon?!?!

[waddamon]

Now shows call to check availability. Hopefully soon.

[lpj8]

There a few of these available at my TRU at 199.99. Should I pick them up?

Do it!   It`s appears to quickly be on the way out, and there is little chance you`ll see any deals on it anymore. Snap them up while you can for sure!
