MarleyMoose Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 All the B&****** I've been to or called in eastern Massachusetts in the past 2 years have never sold the DS, SDD, R2. Maybe a regional thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No More Monkeys Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) Some time ago, some B&Ns suddenly started getting DS and R2D2 in stores. They never showed up online. Different states had it at different times. I would estimate the time span to be 3-4 months. After a while, people stopped seeing it. Some stores/states never saw those.

Bold-Arrow Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 i dont think either has been sighted in any BN B&M for a while now. EV3 is making a return along with the AS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EV3 is making a return along with the AS And newer non-kidsclub coupons don't mention neither in the exclusions, correct? Or presumably POS terminals are programmed to not apply coupons for those?

No More Monkeys Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 i cant recall if the EV3 is mentioned, but AS is excluded. or are u talking about the SW sets? i was talking about EV3 and AS. here is the text of recent coupon. it mentions "lego from toys and games section", but not AS or EV3 by name.

Bold-Arrow Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 while the coupon itself doesn't specify AS and EV3, the exclusion list that can be found by following the link provided on the coupon does. kinda twisted IMH and adds to the confusion.. also worth noting, only the AS is excluded among the arch sets,for now anyways.

gorbasho Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 My B&****** told me they got the DS and R2 in for the Christmas season, so perhaps we'll be seeing them again in the coming months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gorbasho Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) Where is your B&******? Houston, TX. I didn't pay attention to when they showed up but if it was really last December then they sure lasted a while. Bought the last R2 in June and the last DS in August.

No More Monkeys Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) It just worked for me on a lego minecraft micro world set... I don't think anyone said that it would not work. People were discussing exclusion list. It is up to cashier to decide if he wants to enforce exclusions (or even know about them). Unless the exclusion is hard-programmed to POS (like in case of AS and probably EV3) Online, there are still a few sets that will allow use of the coupons Edited September 18, 2014 by No More Monkeys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt1147 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Ah, I was thinking the exclusions were programmed in. In that case, the coupons would work for any cashier not willing to "enforce." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10230 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 It just worked for me on a lego minecraft micro world set... I don't believe that is from the toy section. The minecraft sets are usually at another place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No More Monkeys Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Are those the new Minecraft minifigure sets? Perhaps the Minecraft Microworld sets are listed differently. Ender Dragon is in "The End" set (21107) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those could have read the memo Totally not trying to get away with anything...in fact, I purposefully told the cashier, "I've read that these coupons don't work on lego anymore..." He said he'd try it anyway. I actually wish they were programmed in, to elucidate confusion on what coupons work on.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt1147 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I don't believe that is from the toy section. The minecraft sets are usually at another place. Mine has the Minecraft sets in the toys department but on a completely different shelf then all the other Legos. But architecture sets are not in the toy section they are over by the puzzles and games. So it really does seem confusing as to what sets they are meeting to exclude if not all of them.
