chopstick Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Hey all, I noticed a VW T1 Camper van 10220 sitting at the bottom shelf in good condition (one crease in the front). I thought it was odd seeing it in stores so I picked it up and saw a sticker that looked like the clearance sticker except it said "online item" and was marked down to 83.99. I ended up buying it. Has anyone had similar experiences? How do you think this happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huskers1236 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Well, if this was at Walmart or Target, it was probably ordered online, and then taken back to the store because of the faulty box. That's my guess at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeur86 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I bought an R2D2 at Wal-Mart for 139.99 in the clearance section about four months ago. What happens is someone orders it from online and returns to store and then the store gets stuck with it but doesnt have shelf space so they just mark it down to get rid of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrymc4677 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I found a lone sopwith camel at a Walmart once, which I thought was odd since I had only ever seen them online. I asked the toy manager about it, and sure enough, it was an internet return. Unfortunately it wasn't marked down. I still bought it though just because it's damn cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Internet returns are the best - never know when they are happening. I found one the other day - It was a 7964 Frigate...but it was still retail so I passed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akohns Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Other than getting to go to the lego store multiple times personally I'd pass on goin to Disney as often as we do. My wife is Disney crazy. However I'd be happy to find another online return any day of the week. I ended up flipping the sucker for just over $400 on eBay which I was happy with. I forgot to mention the box was opened. But all the inside white boxes were sealed. Buyer was happy. I think I sold it to someone in Aus or somewhere in Asia. This just goes to show sometimes putting for feet to the pavement and checking your local retailers on the regular basis can pay off. But you have to do it in a smart way as to not kill your score with your gas bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshTX Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 One of my Walmarts has a Town Hall that was an online return. But they ruined the box wrapping it in one of those spiderweb security things and they want full price for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if you can scan it into your Walmart app list and check the price on it every little while? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshTX Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I wonder if you can scan it into your Walmart app list and check the price on it every little while? I'll give it a shot. Not going to get my hopes up though, as this Walmart rarely clearances anything Lego at all unless its a national clearance, in fact the only thing I've seen them clearance on their own was some Hero Factory.

I think I can make this happen tomorrow. Do I need to be holding a pic of the receipt while I'm taking a pic of me picking my nose at the Pick-a-brick wall picking out bricks?
