Madoca Icarus

My daughter and I spent the morning building the Pop Star Tour Bus and I am overjoyed with how happy she is with this set! My wife and I were not sure about the size of it (it seemed small) until we saw it fits nicely in the lane on a road plate. Thanks Brick Picker for showing me the light of not having to pay retail prices (got it for $35)! I spent the afternoon building the UCS Slave I. It seems much smaller and less detailed that I thought it would be. Oh wait, that is the 2016 Star Wars Advent calendar version...

Built the new City Helo Polybag. . .

My SAH order arrived. I ordered Monday when w/ double VIP points.

Purchased a gift card for tru through raise via shopyourway. Got an additional $10 in points because I spent over $25. Between the points, raise discount and the promo code raise had yesterday I got the $50 gc for roughly $31.

Maybe you can mod them to have the Steam Roller come out of the Transport? First Order Steam Roller Transport

KMart dropped the SW 75155 U Wing down to $65.86. It's not a Hot Buy so available coupons will knock it down further. 10% back in points as well. I happened to have the $15 off $45 saved in my profile but I could not access the # to share here. Worst case $10 off $50 will work before applying other magic. http://www.kmart.com/lego-disney-star-wars-8482-rebel-u-wing-fighter-8482/p-004W001229457001P?redirectType=SKIP_LEVEL

Melancholic Robot by justin_m_winn

I like some Weezer. I'll be seeing Metallica at Rock on the Range in May.

From todays B&N event. I had fun tweaking these.

I just bought tickets to ID10T music and comedy fest. WEEZER!

This was all sorts of not fun today...

She'll probably be in the "Women of "The Last Jedi" battle pack" slated for a January release.

I've been waiting what seems like forever for a Staples shipping supplies coupon... I'm so desperate that this even seems like a deal. $5 off all regular-priced mail and ship products when you spend $30 or more. Expires 3/18/17 Online/Phone Coupon Code: 16616

Found this one (on the "Coming" list in the original Update article) at Meijer this weekend:

I've got a shipping container full from when KMart still stocked them online [emoji4]

It's only been an hour on Ebay, and have already sold just 2 for $44 total. Some were $1, but not all. I'm like Tommy's dad, I can sell a ketchup Popsicle to a woman in white gloves.

seems public offer to me. Not sure how can TRU make it a targeted offer.

They might not have to hold them. They will probably still be sitting on that end cap on Black Friday.

Been there dude, and it doesn't even mean that much in the grand scheme of things.

Sounds great, and then you can tell us where we can buy pallets of stock in the US at great discounts and we can buy them all and send them to the UK to sell. Everyones a winner baby !

Dinos

Yeah...had I known that Target would be giving this set away by the pallet load I would have let them sit. My average buy in is $58 (36% off). I'm in for the long haul, unless I start bundling with other TFA sets when they all become a little more scarce. Phasma was the main reason I liked this set, but a re-release in an upcoming set is probable. Live and learn. Maybe I can pair these with my Joker Steam Rollers...just a thought.

After this Target situation I have a feeling that the ones I purchased on clearance from Shopko last summer are going to end up in a bundle. Might be the only way for me to move them now.

As long as it's complete with all bags in the inner boxes sealed you should get a pretty penny for it. $1000 easy. Probably a bit more. Nice minty instructions are a bonus as well.

Thanks, grabbed one

Played 18 holes of golf.....9 of them in the wind/rain.......

I don't live in the US and even I knew these were a dollar. Don't lose that receipt.

Agreed. My wife bought us tickets to see Billy Joel at Lambeau Field this summer. It's going to be an amazing time and an incredible atmosphere. Can't wait.

IF this is a legit situation and with that many of 1 set, it could be legit... It would be too tempting to not at least TRY to take possession of them all. One approach would be to go to the dept/store manager and say "Hi, I can solve your problem...", hand them my card and tell him this is what I do and that I can take them all off their hands right now if they can do a little better on the price (always ask for more!) It's not the norm for them to negotiate on the spot, but in my (limited) experience once a manager is willing to take a loss on an item, they're willing to make deep discounts. They just want the shelf space back. My hit rate in those situations is tiny, but when it has worked I have gotten 60%,70%+ off, and lots of product at once. The last time I tried his was 2 days after Christmas at Walmart. I was trying to buy 20+ of one $90 set marked 50% off and I was told by the toy dept manager "no, I can't because our store manager is (miffed) at me because we lost our (butt) selling 75 bicycles at a loss yesterday." Target can be goofy on multiple items, and stores are often shackled on price by corporate, but for 100 sets with a $9000 RRP for $2000, I'm going to try to work a deal!

Meijer has several Lego BatmanMovie Sets 20% off (Riddler, Batmobile, Scuttler, Killer Croc). Add in mperks coupons of 10% off gen merch and 10 off 50 toy purchase. Picked up Killer Croc 70907 for $40.40 (56-5.60-10).

It's nuts, all my local targets look like this... Area slowly converting to 70% off tho. I'm not gonna bite till then. I feel Lego has been inflating their retail prices so they can discount more. $89.99 retail for this set? I don't think so...

You would have to read around a few threads. OBTW I think you were asking me not @chinothegeeko. So in the Rewards thread and/or the TRUTH thread, to tired to look for a link, you will see that I posted Rewards R Us accounts were hacked back around October or November, I am old and can't recall, see print screen. So TRU gave me all the possible points during the earring period on both my accounts 35K and 15K. So that is where the points came from TRU. "reporting your inventory how I believe it should be reported" this I found offensive and pedantic. Oh and I can't punctuate either so no grammar police please. Let's say I drop ship well over 1000 of TRU SKUs this would give more then enough points to buy diapers and milk for the kids, except the kids are grown and gone and I am a vegan (that part is confabulation for the fun off it). I have a CPA that does taxes for people that gross 1 - 1.5 Million a month on Amazon so he handles that part. Howcome I use my rewards on Lego even though it is no longer the best investment choice IMO, well if you look at the "What set did I build today thread" you will see I have a nasty lego (notice I didn't say LEGOS) building addiction, as well as an affinity to horde Nexo Knights for my personal collection (see the Nexo thread) even though @Val-E thinks they are poop, it brings joy to my other sorrowful life. We can't all be a BTP like @ravenb99 and walk into the lego store and drop 60 Gs on cases of sets plus I don't have time for that I have a day job. So most of this will be built like the Town Homes I need to do the other 2 versions, gotta make some Ninjago Mech MOCs one of these days even though I still haven't done that with the Samurai Mech I got from @Darth_Raichu like 3 years ago. The Dino's well they are just that Dinos and one can never have enough and the blue robot is cute and cheap for a set that includes a light brick. Perhaps the cheapest set that comes with one, not sure but I bet @TheOrcKing will let us know. As far as using a Rewards CC vs cashback card or even better 20% discount GC if you look in the TRUTH thread you will see lots of chatter about partial pay and using all of them at once. Some people on here like @Bold-Arrow call it TRU magic. Not sure if I answered your question but I tried.

with ncaa march madness starting next week, philly.com posted a cool video. http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/real-time/Lego-re-enactment-of-Villanova-Final-Four-shot.html
