If you think this is bad, just wait until clearance season.

Their corporate policy does not allow for price matching in addition to store coupons. Unaware seasonal employees and managers willing to placate demanding customers will allow some people to be successful in violating these policies. https://corporate.target.com/about/shopping-experience/shop-with-confidence

I'm really having a hard time wrapping my head around this price matching talk on this thread. Maybe it belongs over on the ethics thread, if so, then feel free to move it. Here goes, Members are pitting Target against Amazon on certain sets. For instance, Target has sets on sale this week along with the $10 off $50 deal. Amazon then matches the sale price minus the $10 off price. Then we go back to Target and ask them to match the new Amazon price and use the $10 off again? This seems highly unethical, or am I overthinking this?

This is going to be a busy night for that "dude with a mop"(c)

Update post: Here's what it looks like now: Thats what you get when the cats also want to play with some Lego.. Perhaps I should build an AT-AT and place it in there so nobody would notice that there's something wrong...

My best suggestion is to just mess around with it until you get the best combination. It changes so often it's hard to give sound guidance.

I think JJ's film despite the flaws paved the way for RO. Regardless, I do think RO has a superior script to TFA. Edwards took more chances with the writers / reshoots and it paid off. RO is like Apollo 13. Despite knowing the end, it was a good watch getting there. In my opinion, Rogue One is the only prequel film to ep 4.

The Turdis. Suddenly it all makes sense.

I'm meeting @California92563 to see the movie in a few minutes. He wanted to cosplay. I told him I'd show up in my Obi Wan cosplay. What do you all think? He told me he'd be dressed like this, so I could easily find him:

Damn...What a bummer. Sucks when large sets sell for under MSRP after it's sold out on LEGO Shop @ Home. I can recall when the 10179 sold for 20% less than MSRP on Amazon after it disappeared from LEGO Shop @ Home. What a disappointment.

Found an unexpected pair of Wall-E's on the shelf at Target yesterday... wouldn't scan at the price checker... went to service desk where I discovered one of them had a $42 clearance sticker on it. The other scanned at $60. They refused to allow the $42 price for both, saying the clearanced one " ...is probably a customer return..." I'm thinking "...they're both returns you dummy...", but I keep quiet. Still not so bad... $60+$42= $102... minus $25 coupon and redcard + tax = about $38 each OTD. Also scored 2 70412 Pirate Soldiers Fort at BAM for about $18 each + tax.

Costco.ca, always good for a smile... You searched for "lego". Did you mean "leg"? ... and in case you were wondering they have 58 results for "leg"

Has @exciter1 created a new username?

Loved the ending ... pure perfection

Last 40 min I probably teared up 3-4 times and had just as many geekgasms. I was surprised at how many scenes in the trailers didn't make the final cut tho.

Considering your avatar, I found this statement especially funny.

I'm in. 35 minutes until start. I can confirm at least 15 glowing lightsabers, 3 chewbacca masks, and a half dozen assorted robes amongst attendees.

Because a lot of UK ebay sellers are quick flipping idiots who should stick to scalping west end musical tickets. In other countries it is moving steadily up. People have no damn patience these days and that is coming from me.

I don't think we mind people boasting a bit or giving tips to a good "possible" deals. Some folks just like to sour the community or provide for their own self-interest without contributing. Folks can choose to block those members when needed. Yes, every store manager is hired to run the register.

Not Lego-related but some folks might want to wear an inexpensive decent looking Stormtrooper helmet under mistletoes and sipping egg nog next week. It's the black series helmet. $54.65 (32% off). https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D1GR1B0/?

Go see it and come back later.

The Bothans stole the plans for the 2nd deathstar in Jedi, not the first death star.

Sorry guys..Jeff tried to give me the explanation about the crawl. It felt like Star Trek. Just sayin'...

Yeah it's exactly what I was hoping for, a modern day OT film. It was breathtaking seeing part of the rebel fleet and the x-wings, tie fighters, star destroyers etc with all of that detail.

Man, I was really hoping that BOGO 40% off applied.

FYI - Those Max Profit posts are still resetting the threads new posts. I'm reading stuff from last night again...

I thought movie was great. Better the Force Awakens. So much less preconceived expectations given all the unknown characters. Left wanting to see it again

Rumor says that dual batman polybag could be a freebie at certain movie theaters like when Lego movie came out. With a ticket purchase you were getting Emmett polybag, they had 2 different Emmetts I think. That makes sense to me but we'lI see. I remember running around city when Lego movie came out, buying tickets, getting Polybags, flipping those and giving tickets to friends. I didn't even see the movie till on tv lol

You would never see any of Val-E's posts. Is that what you want?

So heres my collection so far. May take a few posts due to image size.

Quick to judgment. Give it a month, or 12

Well, you know people like Exciter1, very Top 1%. I can't shop at his level.

It is all about Karma. Whether it is ethical or not does not really matter to some people and of course, everyone has his own moral standard. You think you get a steal deal but the "steal" money will certainly shunt somewhere else that most of us could not see or are unwilling to see.

More details about Vader's Castle from Reddit.

Here is my quick take on the movie... I missed the traditional STAR WARS opening title and text crawl/scroll. It's not STAR WARS without it IMO. Visually wonderful. Epic fight scenes and vehicle action. If the Imperial Star Destroyer and X-Wings don't shoot up in value, I don't know what else could help them. Music was so-so. Characters were good enough. I didn't really cared that they died, but it worked for the movie and story. K-2SO was very cool. I was more upset with him being destroyed than the people dying. CGI was well done and believable. Last minute of the movie was one of the best of all STAR WARS movies...Darth Vader kicked ass and is a man among boys. Overall, a well done, action packed movie that made you appreciate, STAR WARS IV: A New Hope, even more...

It definitely fits in well with the OT movies. I always hated that about the Phantom Menace: it just doesn't look like Star Wars to me. Speaking purely from a stylistic point of view: In the late 90's to early 2000's there was sort of a fetish for round / curvy things. You can clearly see this in product design of that time. I think whoever was in charge of cinematography for the Phantom Menace didn't pay enough attention to the style of the original movies and as a result the whole movie looks very out of place to me. The ships are round, the droids are round, the buildings are round, ... I also think everything looks a bit too "clean". Star Wars stuff is supposed to look more gritty

I just bought it from amazon even without BOGO40 but just checked Target and it's cheaper there if you buy two. It's $40.37 after $25 off $100 and 5% red card discount.

On top of that, mess around with their 3 retail sites as well (syw.com, sears.com and kmart.com). They each work slightly different. And one more time the reminder: make sure you clear any unused coupons from your list of applied coupons (and sometimes they are hidden so you want to keep removing all coupons once you found your working combination and then reapply the working coupons) because they sometimes switch out which coupons apply during the checkout process (which can lead to nasty surprises).

What I have noticed is that when there is a new Max Profit post, then when I click to go to the see the new posts, it takes me to the pinned post rather than the new post. Maybe the forum software is looking for the first new post, but then stopping at the pinned post because it is "new."

Just received shipping confirmations on my 2 Deep Sea Operation Bases from TRU. Thank goodness, because one of them is a Christmas present. Still waiting on the Droid Battle Carriers.

Just got home from the movie. Thought the film was pretty awesome. Too stoked to go to bed. Probably check it out again in a few weeks.

All look the same to me.

I bought the Pet Shop at a local store here for $100 with tax included, gave me a discount for the hell of it since I was asking for the Palace Cinema but they did not have it.
