terrymc4677 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 you are in Madison, right? walmart app shows $49 constitution trains in stock in portage if you are interested in those. 2 1/2 hours for me is too far. I cut off the travel distance at 90 miles tops (and only for a REALLY good deal). it also shows some in stock in berlin but since it is 70 miles for me I called first and they said they didn't have any, so you may want to call first before wasting a trip.

Huskers1236 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Last Walmart in town got me. (2) Galactic Titan $49 (my first Galaxy Squad sets) (2) Quinjets $49 (out of 10, only ones worth purchasing) (2) Cloud Cookoo Palace - Retail, but you can't find these around here, they are always sold out. (1) Unexpected Gathering $49 They had 3 Bag End sets, but one was re-taped, and the other was beat up. Actually, they had a lot of beat up sets, and this isn't really a bad Walmart. They also had all the Castle stuff on sale, but I just can't get into that theme yet, it just doesn't stack up to Kingdoms or the previous Castle line. Lone Ranger is long gone around here. I guess is has something to do with being in the middle of nowhere, folks identify with Stagecoaches and Steam Engines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strangeboy Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Damn, I didn't realize this set was doing so well. Perhaps I should go back and get the few I left on the shelves: A-WING http://www.brickpicker.com/bpms/set.cfm?set=75003-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it's selling for about $25 shipped at best right now. Not that it's a bad set, but $35 is misleading and probably came from some lot sales.

strangeboy Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Thanks for that info. Moments later I broke the seal on the A-wing. It really is a nice, solid build. Well worth the clearance price at Walmart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpinemaps Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Bought Tower Bridge 10214 from WH for $194. Very good condition. Let's see how it arrives. I figure one of four things will happen: I send it back because it's damaged and too risky that parts are missing. It comes looking great, and I hold it. It's in okay shape, and I can sell it as a damaged box. It's in less than okay shape, so I open it up, put it together, and sell it used. I'm happy with any of these scenarios. Enough to take the risk on it being 19% off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is described as Very Good so you have that in your favor. I pity the fool who buys the Ewok Village I'm sending back---I bet they just chuck the box given how it looks and sell as a repackaged item. I'm sending back to them the exact way they sent to me.

redghostx Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I hope to buy that ewok village as I want to build it. (: Oh to answer the topic...

I've been lucky, in that Amazon continues to send me boxes. For small and big items. And for WH items, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeker Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Just a heads up for you Amazon WH shoppers. I am sending back 2 arkham's. They where destroyed by the shipping. Not sure if others have been getting these sets in large white plastic bags. Would be good sets if want to build but not to sit on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimking23 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I'm telling this story here. I love her but, she can't appreciate the story. I'm on my way to a WalMart about 35 minutes away, that I don't usually visit in my day to day travels. I stop at a TRU down the street from the WM to scout out some possible sets for the upcoming BOGO sale. There sitting in the middle of the SW sets is a Imperial Shuttle 10212 set with the security string (what I call it) on it. Are you freaking kidding me? The box has factory seals, couple of the corners are a little crunched, and there is a small tear on front. It listed at retail price of $259.99. I whip out my phone to find value, calculate tax, shipping, listing fees. I see an associate and playin dumb, ask him if ther are any more, because the box is a little damaged. He explained," it was a old set they recently found out back and it was the only one" I asked if there was a discount for the damage box. ( WalMart never does) he said they would give me 20% off. Total cost $220.99 plus 4 Lego movie passes. Best Lego hunting day ever! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
