That was a perfect storm. I don't remember how many Targets I drove around to for that. And then that set was shorted at Christmas. Good times

So you got Target to price match the Gandalf Arrives?

Only when those were in stock

Oh no, the Hotwheels T-Rex Takedown Play Set!

I parted them out ;-)

Barnes & Noble clearance is now 75% off. Chima is now a buy... Maybe.

Heartlake Skate Park 41099 20% off at Meijer.  Not a great deal, but if you price match and TRU with discount gift cards it makes it pretty interesting.

I haven't been shopping from Kmart.com because they don't seem to give me useful points any more and just realized that there are some LEGO items 'per Kmart rule' are restricted to ship to certain addresses. Same items are available at other retailers or at their website to ship everywhere in the US. This is just weirdly bizarre.

kmarts seems to use a blend of online distibution warehouses, and direct from store distibution.  it is the direct from store inventory that is very unpredictable.  both in where they will ship and the quality of the packaging.

I see. Thanks!

I thought their tech might have been doing something weird again and causing things to be shoppable but not shippable. lol

Thanks, swung by my store and picked up a lonely Arctic Outpost for $11.74 + tax!  Also, a nice looking Duplo castle for a future present for under $7(with membership)

Please. Hit the wrong one after my search. Thanks

Other than free Target money, May the 4th deals are more like May the Fizzle.

Even with $10 GC back from Target, LEGO still is a better deal on sale sets (assuming there are still storm troopers left as well)

What's up with this one: http://m.target.com/p/lego-building-set/-/A-46782501

Didn't Target just blow out all its Kenobi/Grievous multipacks for 70% off right the other month? Why are they still selling them, and back to RRP?

stores clearanced them, and i have not seen them back on shelves.  online had them 30% off for a while, but now they seem to be back at full RRP for some reason.  I can say they where there are RRP before, so its not just a price jack for the "sale".

 

 

Either way, this has been a big dud so far.

You can still buy the bricks & build it for $30 have at it!

That hardly makes it a good deal.  I can't sell an unofficial set for $250 on eBay.

Agreed.  Probably the best this year is walmart and lego shop at home. Target took the prize last year with at-at's in the lower 80's and cantinas in the low 50's. 

My local walmart had 2 IST's for 74.00, so I went and grabbed them.  Both boxes were surprisingly in pristine shape.  So, you might want to check walmart.com and do a local search at your nearest stores.  I'm tempted to go on lego.com and put in for one sith infiltrator and maybe a resistance transporter just to get the extra points along with the discounts, but other than that, it's a relatively lackluster May the 4th.

 

I need more deals so the bickering can stop.

Seriously guys, why should retailers put sale signs above the LEGO sections when people would line up to pay $150 for a box of white bricks or $250 when the box has UCS stamp on it ?

 

Too soon?

 

This might spice things up a bit. I just received my first $10 target egift card from an order earlier today. The egift card is sent when your order ships. #freemoney
