$20 on joe vs dan Posted July 22, 2019 Posted July 22, 2019 I likey... based on last year, the various advent calendars went on sale in Oct (20% off, i think...just a bit better than Costco prices) and then max retail price till post-Christmas...I was kicking myself for not getting enough for my list thinking they would go on sale again.

mudcatsfan Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) I wonder how many Christians will be up in arms about Witchcraft and Advent? Not that a Star Wars Advent calendar is any more or less blasphemous in my opinion, but SOME parts of Christianity has a real sore spot for Witchcraft. Not trying to stir the pot, but from an investing perspective just wondering if something like that could yield a protest / publicity / a run on the product? Drama can make a Christmas Toy spike Edited July 23, 2019 by mudcatsfan Quote

Phil B Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 What I do see happening is that the HP advent calendar will be sold out by end October. I am definitely buying my copy at (close to) RRP in early September when these come on the shelf at major retailers. Hopefully WM or Target has them at 20% off - if not, I will use my BN membership to get at least 10% off my copy. 2 Quote
