Shi Guy Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 I always wonder how many brickpickers I've passed in the lego aisles of stores Ditto. A BP hat of T-shirt would be a perfect way to ID each other Quote
nolanfan34 Posted December 20, 2014 Author Posted December 20, 2014 100 each? Man that is a ton. I know there's money to be made on them, just feel like there will be a ton on secondary market next year. I guess it depends on how cool new polybags are. What do you all think about post-Christmas sales? Anyone know if Fred Meyer will do the buy two get one free like they did last year? I noticed many of the sale items at the moment are going to be that price until 1/5, and I recall the 2 for 1 being after Christmas last year. Quote
LegoPup Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 Yeah, they have started to move around me as well. Still think they'll hit clearance. So who on here bought the 200? Wasn't me. I wonder if all the FMs are being raided? Well, so much for waiting for the after Christmas sale on this one. 1 Quote
JimboJet Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 Hi all, new to BP, I'm a collector in WA looking for deals, not into reselling. Anyway, what's up with all the 75054 AT-AT and 75055 ISD disappearing from Fred Meyer? I hit six stores on Thursday during their 20% off Lego sale (thanks to justapilgrim for the heads up) and none had any. It's almost as if they pulled them for the sale because I swear there were several at many of the stores I hit just a few day before. Either that or someone cleaned them out before noon that day??? Wonder if Freddys will be restocking the big sets after xmas? Quote
LegoBuildingMama Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 I've sold through almost all of my 250 trees. The only big buy I had was one sale of ten trees. I ended up with an average purchase price of $3.25 a tree and selling price of $12 each. It's nice easy cash. I may end up stuck with a few for next Christmas, but at that cost it doesn't really matter. Quote
LegoPup Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 Freddy's has another lackluster sale this week and all discount coupons exclude LEGO. Sad but maybe it is the sign of the times. Quote

Wonder if Freddys will be restocking the big sets after xmas? I think they just get sold. Not sure if they get restocked though - they don't seem to carry many of the large sets in the Lego aisle by default, seems to depend on the store size. Those sets you should have plenty of chances to get at a discount from other retailers though this year. Quote
wsuskee Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 (edited) Sorry I missed that 40% off deal. I got them for 20% off and then I had a person over 55 get the extra 10% making it to 30% off but I only bought a few. Missed the boat on that one I guess. I think they only did the extra 10% senior discount for a couple tuesdays. Edited December 21, 2014 by wsuskee Quote

And here I was, ready to take my non-english speaking father-in-law out shopping with me... Quote
JimboJet Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 It's offered on the first Tuesday of each month. Quote
tabolton314 Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 Hi. New too buying as well. In Seatac. Haven't left the couch to go deal hunting. Doesn't seem to be a lot in the way of sales this year. Sent from my XT1095 using Brickpicker mobile app Quote

Sent from my XT1095 using Brickpicker mobile app Welcome! You're absolutely right, there aren't any good sales out there since Freddy's 40% off. Hopefully, the sales will be better after Christmas!

randrace Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 Driving from Los Angeles to Portland for Christmas. Stopped at Woodbine Outlet just south of Portland. Prices at TOys R Us outlet not good; grumbling. Until I saw the series 1 Mixels. Sure, I'll pay $5.50 for a Mixel!!! I may have got the last of them.

justapilgrim Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 Olympia TRU had tons of series 2 mixels. I got about 4 sets and left about that many Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Brickpicker mobile app Quote
randrace Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 In Damascus OR now. Going to my first ever Fred Meyer in Gresham because I keep seeing it mentioned here. Are there any other Portland area stores I should check out while I'm here? I'm especially interested in recommendations for after Christmas clearance shopping. I'm in Oregon until Dec. 28th. Loving the lack of sales tax!!! Sent from my XT1028 using Brickpicker mobile app Quote
wsuskee Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 Just got back from hunting for after Christmas clearance. Overall it was about what I thought as there were some good deals to be had but nothing special. The following is what I picked up Target: $2 friends and Chima polys, $8.50 microfighters Kmart: $10 Kashyyyx Troopers on sale and rewards Fred Meyer: Was hoping for Christmas poly but no luck did have 75% off all Christmas stuff while most places were 50% Shopko: $9 movie flyer, $6 beasts Walmart: $7 microfighters, $17 sw speeder 75012, $21 sw spider 75016. They had the largest amount of clearance with lots of Chima,city and movie sets marked down 30% Quote
jpoltergeist Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 Some of the Fred Meyer stores do have the Christmas poly for 4.99 Quote
nolanfan34 Posted December 26, 2014 Author Posted December 26, 2014 Only hit 1 Target today in Renton. A few things marked down, but only 15%. Nothing too interesting. I did get two of the 50% off Creator monkey sets to build with the kids. Hit one Fred Meyer and didn't see anything new marked down, as someone else posted in the deal thread. Quote
tabolton314 Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 Burien Fred Meyer also had a ton of series 3 mixels for $3.99 Sent from my XT1095 using Brickpicker mobile app Quote
randrace Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 Gresham, OR Fred Meyers has lots of 3.99 series 3 Mixels but only green and purple. Saw the empty shelf where the 4.99 Christmas polys used to be. Heading south to Eugine tomorrow, which is my last stop in the Pacific Northwest. Oh, saw 29.99 Friends Advents at Bi-Mart in Gresham. I assume they will go on sale as soon as I leave the area. Sent from my XT1028 using Brickpicker mobile app Quote

nolanfan34 Posted January 4, 2015 Author Posted January 4, 2015 Anyone find anything at the Fred Meyer "toy clearance" today? Heavy air quotes there, as I only stopped at my local one and saw they had pulled back out all of the unsold toys clearance crap that sat outside in the garden area all summer. No markdowns on any Lego I could find. Very different from last year. Quote
