So is there a baseplate that this is built on?

A little tube of crazy glue. [emoji6]

White base plate with colored bricks.

Give us Batman!

 

Can you imagine the headaches caused in-store if that entire build was plates vs. bricks? 

Most of the kids we saw building were 4-6 and having to move bricks around a bit already. 

If they were all plates, each set would need its own brick separator!

Too bad today was the last day for the Dimensions cartwheel. But the Nexo knight cartwheels are still on. Should stack with Target Run.
If you really wanted some Nexo.

I thought Lego was listed on the exclusion list for target run?

Any hints on the TRU ad yet?

Halo mega bloks were on sale this week.

Halo mega bloks were on sale this week.

In-store today said 25% off all Mega Bloks, not sure about next week.

My local store has the Technodrome in stock....hmmmm almost worth pulling the trigger on for 25% off. If that deal is still going on Thursday then it will be hard to pass up on.

Can anyone explain why milk was excluded?  I thought it was kind of odd.  Also why other perishable things like yogurt and eggs are not excluded

TRU: 20% off Select LEGO sets.  20 to choose from, it looks like Dojo showdown is 1 of them

Yeah they actually had some decent mega blok stuff. I bought one of those signature series police Pelicans for me. It was $112.48 so I was pleased haha. I'm really bummed that I missed out on the signature series scarab, mammoth, and the forward unto dawn.

Possibly because the profit margin for retailers on a gallon of milk is substantially less than 10%. After factoring in costs, most retailers are not making money by selling milk.

If you are looking for cheap milk try Walmart and the 'Price Select' brand. Walmart will lower the price on that brand to match any competitor's. On Lego hunts at Walmart I'll see a gallon of milk for $2.00 at one store while another Walmart has it for $1.50 on the same day. The cheapest I've seen is $1.15 a few weeks ago. The price varies by town depending on what retailer that town has with the lowest price of milk that week.

 

TRU is having Buy 1 Get 1 40% off on all JW, Minecraft, and Speed Champions.  Some sets, like 75916, are already on sale below retail price, so if you buy two online, you will be getting it for 30% off retail price.

Last year's small ($15) sets have the TRU tax, but this year's sets are still RRP.  That takes them down to $10.80 for 2 when combined with TRUTH.
