comicblast Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 In Canada they are free with $75 worth of purchases I believe (which make sense given that a 60 dollar USD set retails for 75 here). Pretty lame pickings this year, in my opinion. They aren't even remotely vintage. They really are. The only decent part is the bride's torso in the middle box set as it is only available currently in the Town Hall set. I wouldn't be too quick to think that these exclusive sets won't be worth something on eBay/secondary market, though. There are some suckers out there for things that make them feel special, among those things, exclusive toys. Quite sad, IMO. (not meant to criticize, just voicing my opinion). My guess of the price tag is $50 for one, and $200 for a full set of 3. Quote
Guest eightbrick Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 NOTE: THESE ARE THE DEALS FOR CANADA'S TRU BRANCH Oooh, TRU, you're being awfully good today! The flyer came in today and here are all the offers: 1) Spend 75 and get the Minifigure 5-pack 2) Free Lego Turkey with 30 dollars of purchases (excluding games or Friends) 3) $5 Collectible savings card with any SW purchase 4) 40% off 4202 City Mining Truck (Now $29.87) 5) 50% off 79010 Goblin King Battle (Now $64.87) I might dive in for the GKB and throw in some polys to push past the 75 dollar mark (Investment potential be darned, its once in a blue moon we see accessible 50% offs in Canada!). These particular offers go from Oct. 4 - Oct. 10. Happy hunting, canucks! Quote
willy431 Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Heh? 4202 has been retired for almost a year now. Quote
Guest eightbrick Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Heh? 4202 has been retired for almost a year now. But it came out in 2012... that's strange. Well, it is still in stock at TRU.ca. That said, it doesn't look like its about to explode in growth anytime soon. Quote
willy431 Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 The 200k people who have the mine, or are going to get the mine might disagree with you on it's growth potential. I would buy 50 at that price. Quote
lego rules Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Too bad there is 13% tax, limit of 2 on website which means no free shipping unless you buy other crap. Quote

I would buy 50 at that price. I hadn't thought about that. It does make a nice companion set, doesn't it? It's just its nearly seven dollars down from US retail... and I've seen this for 40% off before I believe. Quote
gregpj Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Heh? 4202 has been retired for almost a year now. TRU had them on sale for 40% off in April too (I bought 4). I've seen stacks and stacks of them at my TRU all summer. Maybe they just overstocked. Quote

Maybe they just overstocked. I just started a thread about the 4202 in CITY before looking here. Might get a few as I've seen many locally. Definitely willing be picking up 79010! Quote
@rtisan Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Awesome! I`ll have to grab a couple of each Goblin King and Mining Truck. Anyone think that Turkey will have any value? Quote

wholovesboo Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Should we start a thread on Lego-related events? Apologies if this already exists somewhere else. Anyway, I have 2 events I wanted to relate: Nov. 5 (that's today) at 5:00pm in Lego Stores there's the FREE monthly mini model build. This month's build is going to be a red tractor. Ages 6-14 (though they don't ID them at the door...probably would stop you if you look like an adult though). I love going to these...occupies the kid(s) for half an hour, and you get a handful of free bricks to take home. Legoland Discovery Center Westchester (NY) is adding a Radio City Christmas Spectacular to its MINILAND. Also, there's an event on Nov. 14 where the Rockettes will be at Legoland for a special meet and greet. It looks like you can enter through their Facebook page. Quote
DaMano Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 The Belgian Lego User Group "BELUG" is organising their own BrickMania event (so probably this is only interesting for people living in Belgium, The Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, ...). This weekend November 9th and 10th in Antwerp. http://www.belug.be/portal/index.php (website in Dutch only) Quote
LJD1019 Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 I received an email from Lego: SHOP ON NOVEMBER 23 FOR EXCLUSIVE ACCESS TO HOLIDAY OFFERS! OFFERS VALID ONLINE ONLY Does anyone know what the deals are or point me in the right direction? Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 This is probably the offering of the holiday set. There have been rumors of triple VIP and getting a 10$ giftcard if you spend $150. None of that is confirmed of course. Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 I would take that. I need to figure out what I am gonna order. Quote
Guest betsy805 Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 I just got a card saying Brick friday offers will be the holiday set with $99 purchase, free shipping, and $10 gift card with $149 order.....not sure if that will be offered tomorrow though, I'm curious too! Quote

Hopefully it's better than that as that's pretty crappy. 1 Quote
seapotato Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 I got an email too about this. I wonder if there will be anything worth getting. Remember if you wait until next week, there is the Christmas set promo too. Quote
justafrog Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 Because we want to order a couple of big exclusives, tomorrow's (hopeful) triple VIP will be a nice perk. The $10 gift card for purchases over $149 is for Brick Friday weekend and IS confirmed, unless Lego is sending me lying postcards in the mail. Quote

If you were on their reseller list your postcard might have been covered in Antrax. 2 Quote
justgod Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 Does anyone know if this starts at midnight tonight? Quote
