I can't take credit for this - my Wife told me to do this last month as I went down to the Lego store to pick up a Crawler and I mentioned I didn't want the free exclusive and it wasn't worth that much. I know this probably wont be popular this month with the great exclusives, but just wanted to share how right she was. She told me when I get my Polybag, just give it to the one of the kids behind me in line - or a kid in the store. I did it (GS polybag) and the kid about wet his pants he was so excited. So I will be doing this quite a bit from now on. Just wanted to share her idea and how I thought it was really cool to see a kids face light up when he got a free Lego set.

Bought series 11 in my Target (visit 3 - only one got them)... pdf file from brickset...all series 1-11 +GB Team in one place with prices and more....awesome job. Love it. http://www.brickset.com/news/article/?ID=7505 Many thanks to Michael Bradford.

-continued from above post- Mountain Climber Welder Scientist Saxophone Player Diner Waitress Grandma Constable Lady Robot Well, that's all the included parts for each one. I'm hoping this will give a much better visual image of what to look for.

To add upon this, perhaps an image showing all the parts which are included for each character can help everyone better. Barbarian Scarecrow Pretzel Girl Evil Mech Island Warrior Gingerbread Man Holiday Elf Yeti -continued in next post- (limit of 10 pics per post)

Thought it may be interesting, so scanned and put it in PDF format. Here are several jpegs for a preview. Enjoy! Lego_Catalog_1985.pdf

I was in CVS today and looked at the Sunday paper looking for the Target sale, and it has All Star Wars and Ninjago Lego sets are all 20% off.

A bunch of different reasons unfortunately. Number 1, a lot of these will have Ebay redirect you to a third party site to check out. It is fake and they manage to steal payment information from you because the connection to Paypal is not secure. They also get valid names and addresses from you which is enough to get a lot of information. Some manage to just duck paypal in different ways and paypal just pays the bill. Just stay clear of them - you want no part.

Scam, both of them

I just got back from a LEGO retail store and got an October 2013 calendar. * October will be double VIP points * The clone trooper lieutenant promotion will continue for the entire month as Seapotato mentioned earlier. * From October 14-31 there will be an exclusive Holiday set with purchase of $99 or more. A second set will be available during "brick" friday weekend in November.

I'd frame the catalog......it would look cool on the wall of a Lego room.

Direct link to Series 11. ;)

You just gave me an idea take a quick look around and here are the current online sales. Target: Epic Dragon Battle $91.99 Ultra Sonic Raider $60.99 Walmart: Epic Dragon Battle $91.97 Ultra Sonic Raider $59.13 Amazon: Epic Dragon Battle $91.97 Ultra Sonic Raider $59.13 No surprise here; all three retailers are competing with their online pricing but so far it sounds like Target is the only one doing an actual in-store sale matching these discounts.

others please correct me if I am wrong, but... 1. you can end any auction or listing without penalty as long as there are no bids on it. 2. fee will be the same. they add the final sale price to the shipping charge (if there is one) and take their cut off of that. 3. I have never had any issues with this but I would assume so. others who have had this experience should be able to provide more info.

I placed orders for mine right at 12:01 ...see if these work. http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Micro-World-The-Village-21105 http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Micro-World-The-Nether-21106

I would get it on Ebay as quick as possible though. I see all of these going down quickly because so many people will be parting out these to get the exclusives this month from Lego. Jek is a under the radar part out set though. 4 minifigs can net about 35-38 and ship itself about 35ish or so. So if you get it for 55ish, you can make money.

I am not picking up anything from Target, I am going to 2 Lego Stores and get 6 Wolkswagen Campers and the 6 free ones, that brings me up to 19. I have 15 Mini Vans That I got on Ebay for $9.00 each. I am going to sell them as a Combo Set auction a few years down the line. The only 2 Lego sets I would get a Target would be the Gunship and Sailbarge, but since I got 2 years to get them I will wait, I am only getting Exclusives now. ED

Either. And then save up and get the other one. :-D (I'd expect nether to be more collectible down the line, but that's my gut reaction and not based on any actually facts.)

Don't look into that much. If it is a good post, Like it, that's all there is to it. Just never Like posts that are "LOL!" and stuff like that.

Hit up 3 Targets this morning and scored: 5 Pirate Ship Ambushs @$70 4 Blackgates @$42 The pattern stills hold for me. All of these stores had "limited availability" according to the app.

Here's a tip thats worked pretty well for me. On the Target app search for one of the 2 sets. Under "add to basket" it says check for store availability. Obviously that will pull up the nearby stores showing "in stock", "limited stock" or "out of stock". I have universally found that it is the stores with "limited stock" that are participating in the secret sale. No "in stock" store that I visited had the sets discounted. Cause or effect? I don't know. But I've been to over a dozen Targets the past few days and they all follow this pattern.

Found them in Asda in the UK today. Bought my first four - Gingerbread Man, saxophonist, yeti and elf. I like this series.

So, good news and bad news: Good news: i picked up 5 x Helms Deep ($85) 3 x Black Gate ($41.98) 1 x Pirates Ambush ($69.98) Bad news: locked myself out of my car

I'm a brick slickster when it comes to Bricklink. I have an unhealthy amount of spare parts lying around because of the sheer amount of orders I've done for building mobile frames for Mobile Frame Zero. Mostly fiddly bits, but it's a huge, huge amount.
