game Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 Hey guys, not sure if any of you know this yet but Chapters Indigo Canada will be closing a couple of B&M stores. They will be having a 50% sale going on, in those stores, (Richmond, BC store & Toronto Flagship store @ Festival Hall). The only Lego items excluded in this sale will be Friends & Mindstorms. The details have been posted in the daily deals thread, check it out if you haven't already! These stores should be closed by the end of May.......Good Luck & Happy Hunting! Quote
seapotato Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 Went to the one in Richmond last weekend and toy shelves were bare :( Quote
game Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 Oh jeez, I was hoping there would be some great deals for you guys there. I imagine it will be the same at the Toronto store as well. Quote
Iromby Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 No overs yet for the 20 I have for sale. I hope the Simpsons are getting more popular by the end of the year when people are buying gifts for x-mass and st-Nicolas Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met behulp van Brickpicker Quote
mushedroom Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 Just went to TRU and bought a sealed case! Plus got 10% off because it's Thursday! 3 Quote
Iromby Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 I was at a toys xl and the case was empty. I found 4 bags laying around somewhere but after groping them decided against getting them. Looks like the biggest toystore in Almere is running out which is good for dutch brickpickers Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met behulp van Brickpicker Quote
TheOrcKing Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 I found a Scratchy minifigure for a friend of mine to place on his desk at work because apparently he loves the darn cat and he caught wind of my 'smooshing' talent. Haha. I took a look at it and must say the more of these I see these in person, the more convinced I am with how well of a good job Lego did at capturing the essential appearance for each character even though the bodies are flat. The heads still are weird but impressive all the same. Scratchy's head is kind of funny actually. Quote
BrickLegacy Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 Price is trending down on eBay...tempted to get one at some point. Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Quote
dmc Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 I am a little worried that this may have been an error (too good to be true?) but yesterday I ordered 4 cases of Simpsons minifigs for a total of $500. Seller has more of them up, if anyone else feels like tempting fate: http://www.ebay.com/itm/331227237845 Seller has one positive and one negative, the neg is from 6 months ago and the positive is for a case of Simpsons minifgs for $180, so I decided to risk it. Drop shipper? Did I screw up? They can't be drop shipping from Lego Shop because limit is 32. 1 Quote

wesman888 Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 That's a very good price. How can he make any money? Quote

legoray01 Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Just a note of interest. Meijers in the US are selling minifigures of this series at $3.00 per pack. I picked up a case and a half at that price. I am not sure who can get to a Meijers to buy them but the price is consistant in the Detroit MI area. I don't see any on-line ordering for these at this time but I know these are a great deal. Wasn't planning on buying that much but knowing the cost savings when MSRP is 3.99 I couldn't resist. Quote
marco1264 Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Anyone looking for these Simpson Figs. I over did it and have way too many. Like 200 too many..lol Figured I would ask before I return them to the store.. I am converting my collection to larger sets. So I am open to trades for GE or HH or the like. Let me know. Quote
allen9917 Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 sorry for my ignorance but how many complete sets of 16 are there in one case of 60? Quote
MartinP Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 sorry for my ignorance but how many complete sets of 16 are there in one case of 60? There should be three complete sets of sixteen in one case of minifigures. 1 Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 If you guys watch I have seen these popping up on Ebay for $230-240. I have bought 3 cases for $230 each. Quote
TheDarkness Posted June 9, 2014 Author Posted June 9, 2014 If you guys watch I have seen these popping up on Ebay for $230-240. I have bought 3 cases for $230 each. Is that 1 case of 60 figures for $230US? Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Is that 1 case of 60 figures for $230US? Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Correct. I think a bunch of people bought them thinking they would skyrocket when they went out of stock. But they didn't go out real real quick so some people had to dump them. I have seen several more and I just haven't wanted to sink that kind of money into them at the moment. Quote
TheDarkness Posted June 9, 2014 Author Posted June 9, 2014 I think you guys need to pay attention to the Euro Amazons more. They pop up there. I picked up 2 cases for $350 Australian from Amazon.it, so it would have been an even better deal for you. Quote

Yeah I try but US dollar is dropping so much the conversion rate is not near as favorable as it used to be. Quote
