I think any of the animals will be good. IMO, I think that whole Kardashian line they have is gonna be a fail too. Because people really have limo's & airplanes...

IMO it was the fun AND sophistication that appealed to the girls. In my mind Jungle and Popstar was a dumbing down and regression of the theme. I think they should have built on what they had and it would have also been a great opportunity for some nice large detailed sets that would most likely never be added to the modular line (library, museum, art gallery, hospital etc). Just my opinion.

Unless I'm reading it wrong (since I'm all over the place today) wasn't Target the best with buy 2 get 1 free...

Yes, I think you're right that the best deal we've seen was the Target deal.  I meant the best deal we're seeing for BF weekend.

My personal issue is that I didn't have Dimensions on my radar yet for the Target deal, so I didn't grab any then.  I've got a Dimensions starter set ready for under the tree now, so I'm looking for deals on the packs.

TRU is running BOGO 40% which is close to the LEGO Shop at Home price.  Maybe more expensive by $1.  Worth it on the surface to return?  (Since I bought some earlier this week)  Probably not.  But, when you factor in multiple orders taking you over $99 and getting a Gingerbread House, the LEGO Shop at Home deal is definitely better.

I just bought 2 packs and figured that would keep the kids busy until deeper discounts later.

UPDATE:

• I updated the tables to remove the listings that had no discounts

• Also, these sales will go live at 12AM ET on Friday and Monday.

• One other point of clarification (see below): Our list had contained some sets showing online as ‘Sold Out.’ The remaining inventory of these sets will be marked down at LEGO Brand Retail stores but we’re unlikely to have more stock online

Those are not mistakes, they are part of a tradition.  S@H always has discounted sets that are already OOS before BF.

Ah, shoot.  Guess I'm headed to the store then.  I was hoping for the easy pickings Thursday evening at 9PM (love west coast time).  I'm going to have to pick up that Service Truck.  I needs me a portapotty!

Now I can cross reference both discussions in this thread:

My kids' favorite part of Friends is all the toilets

$87.99 question is will 75054 AT-AT come back to life from SOLD OUT.

Last year cargo train 7939 came back from being SOLD OUT for like the whole year for a few glorious seconds.

The city, friends, and pop star sets are already discounted at Canada LEGO Shop at Home.

People have overdosed on those Sweet Tart colored bricks.  Too much sugar!

Exactly. Too many sets == loss of interest 

looks like TLG sales is faltering this year.

2X VIP points on such short notice with the GB to push 

now whole list of discounts released earlier to keep interest....

 You're kidding right? 

Hmm, The Ghost 75053 is also  being discounted. Sounds like EOL.

Is Black Friday double points? I haven't seen that anywhere. 

This sounds like too many different sets being sold at one time by Lego. This might be the time to switch your focus from overhoarded, overproduced, not-so-exclusive exclusives to regular sets. The lifespans on regular sets are shrinking while exclusives are lengthening. 

So the whole demolition line seems to be done after less than a year. Interesting.

No double points this Black Friday weekend. 

That's quite the list! These sales start Friday right? I though I remember seeing on the calendar that the sales start on the Saturday?
