Yes. Around the same time I found that Poe polybag for ~ $6.49 (before sales tax) at one Target I found them form barely over $3 at a different one in town (and grabbed all of them).

I've seen this.  On the Mos Eisley Cantina set last summer I saw the set at $70 at my local target.  $77 at a target near my job.  It also was marked down online I think for $57.

 

I've noticed the markup on larger sets.  Worst case I order online and do a store pickup if the online price is cheapest.

Target has been doing that for years. Very regionally dependent. If not avail for pickup, you can just do a price match. Obviously, can't use gift card and get redcard discount that way, though.

Under the Toys R Us forum, doh!

 

Some of you may be eligible for this.

Ebay $20 off $100 until 7pm PST

$20 off purchase of $100+ with code CMADNESS10

Eligible items exclude Coins & Paper Money, eBay Gift Cards, Motors, Business & Industrial, and Real Estate

In my experience (based on roughly 10 Targets in Chicago that I am familiar with), certain Targets are considered "City Targets" and mark up prices 10-15% higher (some even higher, depending on the product). City Targets are exactly that - they are Targets located in very densely populated or commercial areas with lots of traffic. Other Targets, even though they are still in the metropolitan area, don't fall under this model and have normal pricing. Oddly, City Targets also send out their own seperate ad with the newspaper in addition to the normal Target ad. There's nothing special about the ad except it is shorter in length and smaller in size.

This worked for me, no email, no nothing.

Can you use it more than once?

1 time or repeatable?

One time physical coupon, but there is a "mobilified" version in the thread for which YMMV 

Can you use it more than once?

I don't recall ever seeing one you can use more than once? You can use it on multiple items totaling over $100.

I was debating between several options, it would be easier if I could use it more than once

has anyone noticed that Target has begun to mark up some of its Lego over MSRP?  I just noticed the Poe XWing polybag for $4.69.

One near me has raised the price on cmfs to $4.98 or so. Terrible because there are quite a few cases of series 12 and 13 there.

In other news, I did see poe's polybag at meijer in the same area of some Easter stuff. I think it was $3.99 or around that price.

Here is one OBVIOUS usage of the coupon

Tried it on a $100 Toys R Us gift card thru Paypal Digital Gifts... NOPE. Won't work (least not for me).

That was my first choice, but I poo pood on the tax.

Yeah, the tax makes it more like 11%-14% discount rather than 20%.  

I picked up a Wall-E and a New York City to build from a seller for $83 (probably the one who exciter got the Ectos from).  Thanks for the heads up!

This deal is now on the ebay main page so it is open to everyone but it does take some work to find the right deal and is easily used for buying other categories as gifts, etc.

Anyone have any luck getting this through on a gift card purchase?  eBay exluded.  Seems to be shooting me down on BRU, TRU, Target from all the usual suspects (PP Digital Gifts, Gift Card Mall, Cardency)

My WM had new friends, elves and city marked down. Odd
