Team,

I am having a difficult time putting my love of the Pirates bias aside.  MSRP originally for the Brick Bounty was 110.00 USD upon release a few months back - it is being offered at the local Target for 99.99 USD price match - I also have a 20 % off coupon - then with Target Red Card 5 % off - which brings the hated/loved Brick Bounty down to 76.00 USD which is around 31 % off total.  Not sure if this is a good deal or not seeing as though Pirates is my favorite Lego of all time. 

Any and all insight is appreciated. Thanks.

Amazon Third Party has a Brand New Sealed Box for $114.99 Shipped.  That is very close to MSRP plus tax for anyone who needs one:

shipping went from 0.12 to 8.49 so not much of a deal any longer.

picked one up today at local K-Mart for around $48.  I never go to kmart for lego and it's the first time I think I've ever checked there and they had one brick bounty left even though it not showing in store online.  It was a flawless box with nice seal codes.  

Saw an ad that said sing up for sears/kmart credit card and it'll credit 50% of your first buy up to $50 on the initial statement.  Also used $5 off coupon.  So didn't pay anything yet and way I understand the ad is that my first statement will show the reduced bill at around $48ish.  

 

anyway, love this ship, think it's a big winner.  I was mad at myself for missing it and it's already selling for as much as $140 and averaging around $130 almost on eBay.  Short life, nostalgic theme to me and it seems just about all ships ever do well.

If you hadn't seen the sign, would you have bought it for MSRP + tax(less $5 off coupon)?  I left a couple on the shelf at MSRP over the weekend but I already have three that were ~$80 each.  My modest goal is that 1st and 2nd will end up paying for 3rd.   

Are these long gone from Lego stores? I was thinking of giving my closest store a call to see if they had any hidden in the back

There's still a few in the wild that I've seen.  I bought 5 from TRU for $88 at discount, so I didn't pull the trigger.

Kmart store pickup is your best bet at MSRP.  Any surprise points or coupons help but it is a "hot buy".

All the kmarts by me are closed.

Road Trip!

I have actually entered several zip codes and not one store has it

Just called....no luck.  Looks like I will just wait for the next ship.

The inventory or available at stores does not work as well on my phone vs. computer.  Also, the two I left on the shelf were not showing up as available on phone or computer.

Yeah, not worth an hours trip to find out though.  Come on amazon, get some in stock!

Yesterday I saw 4 of them at 110$CAD, so around 72$US...I hesitate to buy them (already buy 2 at this price)...Should I?

I would buy them all at that price.

Hmm, good question.  probably not.  I think at msrp I would have left it alone.  I really like it and think it'll be a winner but with fees and shipping these days, the hold is too long at retail for me anyway.  I think it will still be a winner for those who buy in at retail but I just don't have the cash to wait too long.  $50 was a no brainer and I was thrilled with that deal so.  

Backordered at EU SAH!

its still being sold around 80€ in some shops, i have my doubts about it.

Yea, mytoys.de for instance ...

And back to Retired

Now OOS, expected ship date 9th Feb. WTH, someone's having a bit of fun with the buttons me thinks.

TOOS now. I think it's fair to say the people pressing these buttons don't have a Scooby Doo

Any advice on a buy in on this one? I saw one at my local store at MSRP, but this feels like a long, long hold.

I feel like I'd be better off spending my money on a few more Tumblers.

I think a lot of people towards the end of last year had been getting it around $70-80.

Over the last two weeks, I was able to clear my local Kmart of their 4 Brick Bountys with points, 10$ off 10 Coupons, $5 off 50 coupons, etc to get them about $90 each (retail was 99.99).  They are long term holds but other people were able to get them for about $80 when they were on sale.  If you can still find Tumblers for retail price, of course, buy tumblers.  You can't go wrong with Lego Pirate Ships for long term holds.

Nice. I got 2 in a similar fashion. $90 each otd. Not the best price but I haven't been collecting long so I'm playing catch up. 

German Seller on US Amazon 3rd party is blowing these out at $129.99 shipped.  They have 19 available.
