TacoCat Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I bought a Caterham Seven for $44.78 (44% off) via Walmart on the Google Express app w/20% off coupon. It might be the last chance to get these at a good discount. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus @Phil B has to make another trip back to use those coupons and for sure the wife will want something expensive at full price so they are playing the long game. TRU could do well to take note.

Eh, it's a good joke but the US market is different. W-M cleared them out for $5 over the summer and they're moving on AZ for around RRP now. I already made my profit selling to a reseller (or someone who needed a lot of party favors). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil B Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Just realized that IF the $5 in points cards were indeed multiple use per account, and IF I had spotted them before I started checking out, I could have bought that lot for $44+tax by ringing the first 11 up full price with $5 back each, and then using the accumulated points plus the points I had to buy the remainder Or buy all 30 one by one and end up with $150 in points for $120 spent .... What a missed opportunity! *wink* 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Train stations and the Winter Village theme have always done well for me. Combine the two and this set is a safe bet to do well once retired. 20% isn't a great discount, but the winter sets rarely get discounted unless you have a Lego store nearby and they are trying to move them after the season is over. Even then it's usually only 30%. I just tried to place another order of 12 but it looks like they finally sold out after a few days. Bummer. Of course you get mint boxes and I get the guy with banana hands to package mine ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drmirage Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 (edited) Was at the mall last night and walked into a Disney Store. I was bewildered when I saw two Star Was Millennium Falcon 75105 just sitting on the shelf with a sticker price of priced at $106.99 At the register, I asked if there was any more available and the cashier said, they have more how many do I need. Did I want to take all of them.... I said I'll take as many as I can afford, but if you have 50 + units, I can't afford that many I asked them if they can check their stock first. Cashier comes back and she was told that 4 more were available. I told the nice cashier OK, I will take all 4 plus the 2 units on the counter. When I was getting rung up. The 4 sets in the back were not 75105 as they claimed, but were First Order Star Destroyer 75190 for $169.95. LOL. Item was scanned and it was marked $106.99 each. So I walked out with the 2x 75105 @ 106.xx + a Buzz Lightyear 12" Talking Action Figure @ $20 plus had to buy an reusable ECO bag for 50 cents.

LegoWalker4 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) It was a good day for me for CL finds yesterday: 41037 Stephanie’s Beach House, NISB, $25 10211 Grand Emporium, Used, $100, Complete, no instructions. I was planning to sell this one but decided to keep it because I am impressed with this set. It is my first modular set and I really like the window washer, the skylight, the sign on top of the building and the chandelier! Since I am planning to build a city scene it will be an excellent start… Edited February 25, 2018 by LegoWalker4 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
