exciter1 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 3 Attack of the Wargs for $69 total. KMart is having their 20% off clearanced toys and these were marked at $27 plus 20% off. They had other sets in the clearance aisle but these were the best discount. The bigger sets like The Mine and Goblin Battle and some medium Star Wars sets were discounted but didn't have a clearance sticker. Seeing that I had to walk the cashier to the toy aisle to show her the 20% off clearance sign, i disn't push my luck. K-Mart on Rockpoint Drive near Valley View, OH. They have multiple toy clearance aisles That's a good deal. I also found where they put the wrong clearance sticker on Unexpected Gathering last Sunday and with the additional 20% off it was good enough for me.

Slogghead Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I got a sweet Craigslist deal of Harry Potter sets. all for $20, turns out I only needed to supplement about 20 of my own pcs. Turned into this: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slogghead Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Oh and I think I got the last 41999 in Vancouver BC at the opening of the new store in Guildford. Limit of 2 per household. I was grabbing two and bent down to put one on the floor and some greesy turd grabbed the last 2. I guess I should not complain for getting one.

seapotato Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Nice. I think i saw the ad for this but was too slow! Were there any gifts with purchase at the guildford store, or it only in late september?

Darth_Raichu Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I got 2x 10222 Winter Village Post Office for $70 each (MSRP). The boxes have heavy shelf wears though. Lets see if I can quick flip them within a couple of months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were there any gifts with purchase at the guildford store, or it only in late september? Yeah I think I emailed him like 5 minutes after the ad went up. No deals at LEGO, just crazyness. I think the grand opening is Sept 21/22? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seapotato Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Yep. Hopefully they have some goodies that is stackable with the polybag promo!

exciter1 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Received the LOTR: Helm's Deep I bought on EBay for $77.45 shipped. It arrived with the box in fantastic condition, surprisingly. The guy put it in a homemade, oversized box, with no packing whatsoever. Luckily the seller was within Ohio, so it didn't have to travel far. It's sometimes a risk/reward situation when you go after these deals on EBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacs Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Lot of small Power Miners sets w/ near mint boxes and instructions - 100% complete - should be a nice eBay flip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_14 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Got the 5986 Amazon Ruins from 1999 for $50 and the 7781 Batman Two-Face set from 5 years ago for $100, both used, from 2 different sellers on craigslist and complete with boxes in good shape. I am expecting to get the Home One Mon Calamari set for $50 and the most recent Boba Fett ship for $100, each used and from craigslist as well.

exciter1 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 You guys and your Craiglist finds. I live in a rural area and all we get advertised on there is jungle gyms, the occasional train set, and Beanie Babies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_14 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Ha. To be fair, I had never used Craigslist to find lego before this week when I read about it on here. For what it's worth, there wasn't a lot of stuff available even though I'm in Toronto. These sets and a few others that were on there had been on the site for 3 weeks and no one had bitten until I stumbled along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetamp Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Nothing yet, I'm tired of looking at new sets and reading about them so I'm heading to Walmart right now. I'll let you know what I find when I get back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trade-off is an absolute lack of clearance deals at Target and Walmart for new sets. I suppose one (good CL used sets) is the result of the other (high turnover on retail sales leading to few discounts). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotrlegofan Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Bought x5 The Hobbit an Unexpected Gathering 79003 sets today at Walmart for $49! Got one for $44 because the box had a minor crease in it. As a cherry on top they had x1 9471 for $20 too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The turnover of stock in our stores pales in comparison to larger cities, which is why we can find the clearance deals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polar_Beast Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Just got a full case of 120 minifigs from Walmart. They were on the cart for stocking the shelves. The outer box did say "wait until Sept 1st", but they rang up so I grabbed the whole thing! Hoping I can quickly sell 3-4 complete sets for $75-80 range, then just sell the rest individually. note: While I do realize the overall return on this will not be nearly as good as other LEGO options, I inexplicably love the Minifigures series, and because of that it is totally worth it for me! I actually like smushing, it's quite relaxing. -PB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
