Covington wiped out

[LegoBuildingMama]

Thanks for the heads up - bought 3 Final Duels, 100 Kylo Ren Polybags ($1.99 each), 3 Set 75140, and 1 Clone Turbo Tank; I left some of the polybags because I felt bad taking them all; They had 10 AT ST sets that I left. I'm thinking about going back? Good idea, yes or no

Have any Washington people seen any good details at Bartell Drugs lately? You used to be able to find some good markdowns, or sale prices, but it seems like I never see anything anymore. At least at my local one. Same for others?

Have never seen LEGO deals there. I did buy a large lot of sets via Craigslist that included several small sets with Bartell stickers (assuming the guy got those at a discount and not the five-finger discount), but even that was a few years ago.

Hi, does anyone know if they still have sand green parts, and which ones, in the pab wall in southcenter or lynnwood? Working towards a moc. Thanks!

Lynnwood has sand green 1x2 plates, 1x1 bricks, and 1x1 modified brick with stud on two sides.

Thanks so much Betsy, going to head there tomorrow hopefully

I'm posting this in the Pac NW thread since it's a regional non-lego deal. I was at Walmart yesterday, and saw some Coors rebates. It was buy a 24 pack, and $100 in gift cards, and get a $50 rebate. Awesome deal, I hit this last year at Fred Meyer. My walmart had the posterboard by the beer, but no actual rebates. Does anyone have one? Does anyone know when this ended? Any info would be appreciated. This is an awesome deal.

Is Bellevue out of their sand green parts?  Or did they get replaced with something new?

[nolanfan34]

OK SLACKERS - I know others have seen clearance at Fred Meyer. Worth looking at your local ones, you more rural peeps should have a field day. That is all.

lol, well of COURSE you are done, big help there. :-)

OK, some more info this morning. I hit a few more stores. This is the most widespread Fred Meyer has had a clearance in a couple of years I think.

Maple Valley is pretty picked over. I went to East Kent hill, Benson Hill, downtown Renton this morning (got there before minicoopers apparently). I did not armsweep - all three still have some good Elves, Juniors, Ninjago sets on clearance.

Best finds today (none left at those three stores unless noted)

- Airport $40

- Spider-Man bridge $40

- Clone Turbo Tank $44

- Police prison island $35 (ok, not great for investment but couldn't pass it up)

- City Service Station $35 (same)

- Elves queen dragon $27 (left a few out there)

- Friends Emma's House $27 (left a couple out there)

- Black Panther Pursuit $11

Be sure to scan things - the Benson Hill Renton location as an example had nothing tagged at all and they were doing inventory (where I found all of the above minus the airport). 

And if you collect Marvel Legends figures, lots of those on clearance too although the selection is really random.

busy at work! saving that money, apparently!

That is what I probably should have been doing.

Went back for the large friends outdoor set. A ton of pieces for $30. Also picked up some $16 cupcake cafés

Went to a couple Fred Meyers in the Spokane/CDA area and couldn't find anything. Don't know if I was late or if they just didn't have anything. They had Clone Turbo Tanks, airports, and some city and ninjago sets that were mentioned as possible clearance above but they were all full price or only slightly discounted

You may want to try scanning them, some of them are not marked but still rung up correctly for me.

yeah this. When I got my Airport set, it was behind glass so I had to get an employee to open the case. I picked it up and the lady said "oh, that's not marked clearance". I said I bet it is, and she laughed and asked if I worked at another store or something. :-) I was correct and it rung up as clearance. It should be the same in Spokane - one of my favorite things about Freddies is how well run the stores generally are, and are really very consistent from store to store. Opposite of WalMart clearance for example.

South, if you scanned them and that was the case, that is weird, would be the first time I have seen that.

[Dedgecko]

Eh, the Covington Freddie's is typically piss poor when it comes to marking their toy section.  I'll check them out after work.

Just trying to help yo

Yep, just elaborating on the same point. Scan when you can. :-)

When I was at FM, Clone Turbo was listed at 109 or whatever the regular price is. I used the manual scanner and it rung up as 87.99 (same price that is listed at Fred Meyer online store). I did the same with airport, a couple other SW sets, and other city sets, with the same results. But I did NOT ask an employee.

Is there a chance only an employee/cash register would ring it up as clearance? If that is the case, it would make sense as 50% off 88 would be the 44 for Clone TT mentioned earlier. I am pretty new at this (last fall/Christmas was when I started looking at sets for investment so I don't know many of the clearance "tricks". Thanks

[Dedgecko]

I left a couple Fortrex's for $40, Ronin REX for $20, A-Wing Vs Tie $35, some  constraction for $10, Morro Dragon, Service Station and non-island PD at the Auburn Way FM.   Nothing else caught my eye for being on clearance.

Went to the CDA store today and looked.  Nothing on clearance and nothing scanned came up any different.  Talked to a employee there and they said that the CDA/Spokane stores are ran and priced completely different then other markets.
