December 10, 201411 yr Fumbled upon a pretty good deal at Target today. I went in to legitimately find a couple of LEGO gifts for Christmas. I had to laugh because all of the items on sale had been cleaned out to the bone and I chuckled to myself thinking "stinking investors!". I didn't find anything I wanted so I started wandering around a little bit. A few aisles over on an endcap I saw a couple of FH 31012. I thought, "ha ha! yes! The stinking investors missed these!" And... being a stinking investor myself, I snatched them up. I had wanted one of these myself anyway so I was ok paying full price since they seem to be on the way out anyway. During checkout my total with tax came to $89.75. I was expecting it to be in the $140's! I then realized... booyaa big sale. Too bad there were not more. Anyway, I was amped and wanted to share my win.
December 10, 201411 yr Too funny the same thing happened to me just now! I found 2 of them at target plus I had the 20% off coupon and red card.
December 10, 201411 yr Author how many did you get? They only had 2. I am going to check back again tomorrow.
December 11, 201411 yr Author I went back again today to see if they had any more. Bupkis. But they did have the Museum Break-in 60008 which I was able to get for about $45 (includes tax). I know this kit seems depressed from the price guide so I am not sure if this was a good move or not. I figure I have 30 days to decide right? Of note however, both this and the family house that I posted about were on end caps that were not on LEGO aisles. Clearance item? Retiring soon? I hope so.

I'd hold the Museum, though. It's likely done sooner rather than later and is unique enough to buck the City trend of low growth.
