I want to make a blog post that summarizes the Black Friday deals. A lot of the talk is going on in the Daily Deals thread, and we will try to bring deals over into the content here so that it is easy to see what might be out there. The reason I turned the summary into a blog is because for any comments, the deals are on each page and there will not need to be searching back 10 pages to see what was missed. This list will be available all the time. I am hunting through the Daily Deal thread to find the deals, so you will continue to see this update. BLACK FRIDAY LEGO SHOP @ HOME DEALS - A list of everything on sale @ LEGO starting tonight at 12am EST LEGO: DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League vs. Bizarro League $6.00 LEGO City Police 60044 Mobile Police Unit 31% Off $30.99 LEGO Movie 70815 Super Secret Police Dropship Building Set 31% Off $55.00 Imperial Assault Carrier 75106-1 26% Off $55.00 Star Wars Order Special Forces TIE Fighter 75101 http://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Special-Forces-Fighter-Building/dp/B00WHYTQXE/ Bike Shop live at Target http://www.target.com/p/lego-creator-bike-shop-cafe-31026/-/A-15276992#prodSlot=medium_1_1&term=lego+bike+shop Arctic Base Camp http://www.target.com/p/lego-city-arctic-basecamp-60036/-/A-15409367#prodSlot=medium_1_9&term=lego+arctic+base Police Dropship http://www.target.com/p/the-lego-movie-super-secret-police-dropship-70815/-/A-15282721#prodSlot=medium_1_1&term=lego+police+dropship The Lego Movie (Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD UltraViolet Combo Pack) - Target Exclusive http://goto.target.com/c/65738/81938/2092?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.target.com%2Fp%2Fthe-lego-movie-blu-ray-dvd-digital-hd-ultraviolet-combo-pack-target-exclusive%2F-%2FA-50010679 LEGO Dimensions Start Packs LEGO Classic LEGO Large Creative Box, 10697 LEGO DUPLO My First LEGO DUPLO Large Creative Box, 10622 LEGO Jurassic World Video Game (XBox One, PS4, Wii U) $25 LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham (PS3, XBox 360) $8.00 LEGO: Marvel Pirates of the Caribbean (Xbox 360) $8.00 Yes, they labeled it as “Marvel Pirates of the Caribbean” LEGO: Marvel Super Heroes (PS3, Wii U) $8.00 The LEGO Movie: The Videogame (PS4, XBox 360) $25.00 LEGO Batman (Wii) $8.00 LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack (XBox 360) $79.99 http://yoyo.7eer.net/c/65738/83484/2056?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yoyo.com%2Fsearch%3Frf-YoyoPromo%3DBFLEGO Code: BFLEGO Max discount: $50 The coupon can be used on MULTIPLE orders Don't forget about the 30% Ultra Agents at TRU...Some really nice sets there.

Free advice (worth what you paid for it): Most sets at the Lego store can be found cheaper at other retailers and the real reasons for shopping at a physical store are exclusives, advance sales, and promotions such as: buy a keychain, get a free polybag!. The Lego Store does not offer regular 20% off deals (or better) and almost every regularly available set will see at least a 20% discount during its shelf life. Amazon, Target, Walmart, and TRU (if you live near one) and great options and then there are regional chains as well such as Meijer's. Some exceptions to this idea include hard to find sets (Jurassic World) and store exclusives (eg. Target exclusives) From a resale standpoint - one set from Amazon means 1 pre-packaged set ready for sale, just take pictures of it and tape it back up. One set from Target means 1LB of air bubbles for future use, etc. etc.3 points

For those of you that use the Stock Tracker Alerts system, I would like to ask if you can try out a feature I am working on for doing Browser Notifications. Right now this is for Chrome and Safari Browsers. Firefox is in beta and will be available in a few weeks. IE or whatever it is called will be after that. The alerts will show up even if you are not on the Brickpicker site. Please visit this link: https://www.brickpicker.com/brickwatcher/lego-stock-checker-roost-push-notifications.cfm If you are logged in you will be prompted to allow notifications, please make sure you hit the 'Allow' button. Please then go through all of your alerts again and set each one. This will reset everything so that browser alerts may start to come. Please let me know how it works for you. If you need to make change please refer to the link above. The regular stock tracker page will not set everything like this one. It is important to make sure that the Browser Notification Checkbox is checked as well. You get there by clicking the RED Setup Button2 points

This sounds like too many different sets being sold at one time by Lego. This might be the time to switch your focus from overhoarded, overproduced, not-so-exclusive exclusives to regular sets. The lifespans on regular sets are shrinking while exclusives are lengthening.2 points

I actually saw 4 Raptor Escapes at the LEGO Store the other day. I left them alone, since the day before I picked up 10 more RE at Wal-Marts on my way to Columbus. I did see a couple little Jimmy's checking out with their RE's in tow while I was there, so it felt like I was releasing a couple more into the wild.2 points

You know BF sucks when the old Ecto will do as well as Delorean debate derails the thread! I wonder which on sale set will sell out first - tempted to go for the Mini.1 point

I found 20 of the trees in a target yesterday. I bought three (Actually the cashier gave me one for free because she thought any Lego purchase qualified so she wrung up a discount) . I bought only three and thought of this thread when I bought them. I gave one to my daughter to put together and the other two are being stuck away. I understand the QFLLs on this set but I just didn't see any reason to buy more than a couple for personal use and long term holds. At $3.49 I am not expecting a huge gain as there is nothing special in the set except my daughters smile when we set it next to the turkey I have on the mantle. Yes it is the Lego turkey we put up for Thanksgiving. These are still to be had in the wild and I don't think the QFLL's are making a fortune QFing these.1 point

I'll pay to see that video! On topic of the video...If Clutch would have explained to people that the part out value for a few of the Speed Champions is double the MSRP, maybe people (including myself) would have understood why he was "swooping" up the sets. To be fair to him, the video was kind of taken out of context and people who usually view his videos probably expect this sort of behaviour. Like him or not, he does offer some useful tips to people who part out sets and even to those who resell.1 point

The email title they sent out says starts tonight but it also says it starts November 27 so I'm really not sure. They might have sent out the mass emails a day too early?1 point

Yeah i could see this one being on the way out. On "sale" during the pre brick friday LEGO Shop at Home (although 5% aint great). Personally I think this will be a post EOL winner (despite the general poor showing of Battle of Endor set). I stand by my research that any lego set with the word "village" in the title is an EOL winner (or maybe just an under appreciated epic set).1 point

When you put your personality out there on YouTube for all to see, you lose the ability to control who says what about you and your antics. Besides, most people were mocking his "swooshing" of sets into a cart and not him directly... He shows no class when he does that and that will irk many people in or out of these forums.1 point

Many is a loose term, but I highly doubt that there are very many people who average $2,000 per week on LEGO sets over a year. They definitely exist, but they aren't on this forum trying to figure out what to buy.1 point

I found 20 more of the hulk poly at a diff store. This time no luck at a sale but they are holding them for me on the 6th. The score was 242!!! C-3po polys1 point

IMO it was the fun AND sophistication that appealed to the girls. In my mind Jungle and Popstar was a dumbing down and regression of the theme. I think they should have built on what they had and it would have also been a great opportunity for some nice large detailed sets that would most likely never be added to the modular line (library, museum, art gallery, hospital etc). Just my opinion.1 point
-
I think TLG strayed too far from what made the Friends line a success. I think they should have stayed with what worked and also produced some larger more detailed sets in that theme. Jungle made no sense to me and Pop Star fantasies were over 5 years ago. Elves is not selling well and the Princess line is a whole different demographic. I think they tanked Friends all on their own with some poor decisions.1 point

A couple of people have asked about shipping and I am located in BC. So roughly to eastern Canada it will be around $200 with insurance. I thought it would be less. Even with that in mind, I am willing to work out a price that includes shipping. The hard part with the shipping is there are a bunch of large contoured base plates (4 or 5 can't remember) that eat up a lot of space. Weight is an issue because I would have to separate it into multiple boxes as well. $10 wasn't a low ball offer, it was an offer. It's a little low for me but still a good offer. 115 sets is a lot of sets. Literally my kids and I have been working on this stuff almost nightly for 3 months lol. We built every single set and then took each one apart to verify piece counts. It's been a ton of fun but a lot hours.1 point

ist der 20% bei Galeria am Black Friday denn schon bestätigt? Bei Toysrus sind die 20% ab 26.11.2015 offiziell, aber 20% bei Galeria, da weiß ich noch nichts von. 2014 war es so, aber d.h. ja nicht, dass es dieses Jahr wieder so kommt. Steht auf der Galeria-Seite. Insofern bestätigt.1 point

In addition to what Greg says I´d add: 1) Buy in price is key. NEVER EVER pay full RRP and 25% off is an absolute minimum - 40% off on smaller sets for risk aversion. 2) If you are in the US, always try to snag sets that came out later than in Europe e.g. 42025, as these have rarity value because they will retire at the same time as in the EU. 3) Large construction equipment is the strongest performing sub sector but motorbikes do well too. Aircraft and sub 30 USD RRP sets should be avoided except for the above caveat. 4) Examine supply and demand before buying anything - what is the purchase v sales ratio on Ebay? If there are already loads of sets stagnating e.g. Unimog, better avoid.1 point

You could probably double your money invested/lost if you could find enough people to bet against this being a scam.1 point

True, but many retail stores have stocked the Hobbit sets sparingly and with the movies behind us I can see even more clearing out their inventory or reducing shelf space by summer. I can see LEGO selling through this theme before the end of 2015 with limited opportunities to get this last wave at a discount unless you catch them on clearance or LEGO puts them on sale at the end. All of this is speculation of course but I do not see a lot of retailer interest in holding a spot for this theme that is moving into the rear view mirror in regards to it's media presence, other than the brief Blu-ray/DVD release in the Spring.1 point
