rys099 Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Legodog, you might not get those 2 Medieval Markets from TRU...I ordered one, but just received an e-mail stating that the payment for the transaction was canceled! Quote

Yeah, I got a cancellation for 1 of them. Nothing on the other yet. Typical of TRU. This happens to me all the time on their eBay auctions. Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 To each his own but I personally can't see why anyone would order from the TRU ebay store after looking through their feedback..... Quote
Corythejedi Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 I bought the London Escape today for $25 at B&******...score one for me! Quote

Doofy McGee Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Wow toolbox1! That is an impressive haul! The TRUs by me don't have anything! I can't believe you found all that! Did you have to pinch yourself when you saw all that? I found 3818 Bikini Bottom Undersea Party at Walmart on clearance for $35.00, down from $49.99. Not a super awesome score, but hey, I love SpongeBob and I love LEGOs. Win! I also saw 8 Ghost Trains for $54.00. I already have as many as I'm going to get, but I always hate walking away from such a good deal... Quote

I found this toys r us which was really nice and clean and WELL organized...I thought it was a dream...thankfully not. Quote
Legodog Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 I got a Ghost Train for free off of eBay. The package arrived today and the person didn't even bother put it in a box. They just wrapped it in brown paper. It was really beat up. After I contacted the seller they appologized and told me to keep the set instead of sending it back. I probably wont be able to get much for it from an investment stand point but I will keep this one for my own collection. Quote

Sorry to hear that the seller you purchased from clearly doesn't know how to ship sets properly, or is just too lazy to do so. However that's a great deal since you ended up getting it free! Quote
emes Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 1x5884 Raptor Chase at $14.50 from Walmart 1x 10222 Winter Village Post Office at $52.99! from LEGO Store The 10222 is new and sealed, but the box has some creasing. LEGO Store discounted it heavily...all I did was ask. This was an awesome find. I picked just about everything in a 20-mile radius of San Ramon, CA tonight. Target is absolutely lame in this area. Quote
stackables Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Well, my Vampyre castle and two-face chase came in today. Two-face chase has a small crease on the top and the Castle has some damage. I cannot remember the last time I received an undamaged package from a retailer. Guess I will shoot amazon an email and see if I can get a discount. Quote

Doofy McGee Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Dude, could you hook me up with the location of those trains?? I sent you a private message with some details. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Creator - Highway Speedster Man, I can not wait to build this sucker! Star Wars - Republic Troopers vs Sith Troopers Battle Pack Legends of Chima - Wakz Pack Tracker Did a price match in Target with Amazon and bought it for $22.05. Target is sooo gonna kick Wal-Mart's ass with their actual price matching. Oh yeah. SUCK IT, WAL-MART!! Minifigures Series 8 - DJ Target still has a few of these but no Series 9! Dang it. Oh well, I wanted this 'extra' for my own collection. Gotta a MOC or two in mind. My Target still has a bunch of the "Naboo" Planet set on the shelves. However, this time there was only about 50 of them left compared to the hundred I saw on the last three visits. And they were marked down to $2.98! Whoa dude, that's like a third of the original pricetag! But even at that price I still did not want it. I already have one for my collection and that's good enough for me. Even for parts I could not convince myself into buying another one. Maybe this is a bad sign of just how desireable that set really is. I mean, even at more than half off it is taking forever to leave the shelves. And I don't want it. Also, you guys should check out the current value of this year's two STAR WARS battle packs! I am dead serious. I almost pooped my pants. The "Clone Troopers vs Droidekas" has an average value of $25, and that "Republic Troopers vs Sith Troopers" has an average value of $19!! What the hell?! These are both brand-spanking-new sets with a retail of $12.99! Are people really willing to pay more than twice for these already?! Really?! Quote
Wizkid23 Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Was at one of my local Targets and picked up: (5) Monster Fighters Mummy Sets at 3.58 each, a 2012 Star Wars Advent Calendar for 24.98, set #4201 (one of the mine sets) for 5.38 and a Star Wars Sith Infiltrator set #7961 for 34.98. Of course, these prices are before tax, but I didn't think I could pass these up..... Quote

I already have as many as I'm going to get, but I always hate walking away from such a good deal... TRU by me looks like a Ghost Town every January until they get the new stock in. This year it's Chima and Galaxy Squad. Lame. And they still have the 2012 Advent Calendar at well above retail, something like $66. Last year I bought a bunch on sale and parted them out. Quote
terrymc4677 Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Today at Shopko I came across a Jabbas Palace for $89 and 10 Crazy Scientists for $29 each. Not too shabby! Quote
