Hello, may A MOD approve a new Pin TOPIC ..

 

FIND OF THE DAY in Canada ..

 

Not as good as my Fire brigade, nor TH..

 

but since this set is now listed as discontinued at most of the places down here, and more important my find is for sure a return from an online order , back in store :

 

at 179.86$ it's a wonderful deal .( more important is I sold my opened one yesterday for 170$, paid 50$ two months ago  gain of 120$ ...) pouahhaah

 

Bought it back SEALED for 206$ tax included ..final cost for a seal one : 86$  THANKS walmart.ca returns via walmart store in Kirkland, Quebec.

Saw 71011 CMF 15 at Lego store at Pointe Claire in MTL.

So if you want for a early treat, maybe it deserve to pay your local Lego store a visit.

Just picked up 2 Lego City: Deep Sea Helicopters 60093 for 44.96 each at Canadian Superstore.

 

I've never even thought to check Superstore... They sell everything, like Walmart, why wouldn't they have some Lego? Durp! Nice one! 

My Superstore hasn't had Lego since Christmas.  I'm not sure how frequently they receive stock.  Then again, doesn't seem like most stores in my area are getting fresh stock very quickly.

The ones I hit up usually have a few sets, they like to mark up the smaller sets though, so gotta pay attention.

I always check my local Super stores. before Christmas they were clearing out on T-16's for $19CAD, for a quick ebay flip of $28 - $30 USD on ebay. 

Half price fun packs at LEGO Shop at Home.

I don't know what to think of this. All the steep discount of starter packs and now Lego themselves blowing these. Either they are selling really poorly or they made way too much.

Is it worth it to get them for the minifigs? Mainly Cybermen, Doc Brown, and LOTR? Parts cover a lot of the cost. Decisions, decisions, Just got 35 of each of the batman and ironman magnets for $2 ea last week.  :/

That's a darn good question... I'll be getting a few, 20 or so?

Some minifigs are rare and should add some variety to the BrickOwl/BrickLink store, but I don't expect great returns.

Still a 8.5$ minifig with taxe. Il wait til 60-75%, if lucky.

The starter packs don't really contribute to the game I think (you need level up packs for that) so maybe ppl aren't buying them.

The next round of packs are coming out soon... Lego is just clearing old stock to make room for new. This happens with all video games... Early adopters pay full price, late bloomers get a discount as the company moves on to the next set of figures or game.

You all need to go read the Lego dimensions thread.

True but I also think people who just want to play the game aren't interested in the fun packs (like my sis. She only wants the level up packs).

Was debating making a new thread, but thought most Canadians would probably read this anyway. Real Canadian Superstore (if you have them near you) has quite a few sets on 'Blowout' which was 25-30% off. The kicker is this is a no-tax day on all non-grocery items, so us folks from Ontario save the 13% tax. That makes a so-so discount one worth noticing. Best deal for me was the Arctic Helicrane for 34.99 (all in) as it is already retired. Changing Seasons (cool set) Deep Sea Helicopter, Training Jet, Pop Star Studio and a couple others were also on sale. 

I also stopped in to a local independent toy store and nabbed another Lonely Mountain, which they had placed about twenty feet up on a shelf looking very, um, lonely. They had 20% off some other retired sets so I bought a few. Always pays to pop into the mom n pops every once in awhile.

I plan to hit the other RCSS in Windsor to see if they have anything else on sale. I'm sure each store varies in what they have left/what is on sale, but the tax free day makes it worth it. Definitely Saturday only, so get thee to a Superstore. Even if you aren't interested in these for investment, pretty solid all in price for sets to build or give as gifts.

 

I picked up changing seasons this morning but it was not on sale. (personal build anyway) But I did save the taxes. They had FO snowspeeder and friends jungle rescue on sale and a couple small friends popstar sets discounted but that's about it.

I saw a tag for Special Forces Tie for $59.99 at a different Superstore...but all gone. Cleaned out Changing Seasons at the other location. Happy at $44.99 with no tax.

45 Canadian pesos isn't terrible on this one. I believe in it. Especially for those who might want to actually extend the winter village this year.

Crap forgot about no tax day.. :-(

i have 5 superstores within 45 minutes of me..  Grrr

Some City Deep Sea Helicopter left at $27.94 at the Langley Superstore.

My wife has banned me from buying new lego for the month of Feb.. :-(

 

Langley Superstore why do you tempt me.
