Well marking a set up 30% over RRP (based on "normal" TRU price in many stores) certainly won't help inventory turn.  Ridiculous!

Agreed the normal 20-30% markups are crazy, but as Speed Champions are a TRU exclusive, the 10% amount is a little more reasonable: https://shop.lego.com/en-US/Ford-F-150-Raptor-Ford-Model-A-Hot-Rod-75875

Thanks! A bit of a drive for me, but a store nearby claims to have it in stock. Although if the 911 GT Finish Line from the first Speed Champions series had to be reduced to 50% off to deplete TRU's stock, I'm sure this will also be 50% off next spring

If you hold out for 50% off, you'll be paying $8 more each.

comparing to TRU, target is more conscious, at least it priced 70911 the same as shop@home ??

Samsung Pay has $50 TRU for $40 and it's double point Sunday....

Samsung Pay also has eBay GCs for 20% off, too bad Samsung Pay doesn't "support" any of the credit cards I have or I would be going broke on 20% off GCs right now.

I am considering it but would be a bummer if I got one and then the sale ended. Looks like the Citi Costco card is a good one, I buy a lot of gasolines so the 4% cash back there would be good. Anyone recommend other cards?

Synchrony bank is one of the "supported" banks but not the TRU card, which is issued by Synchrony. I think a better solution would be for Samsung to "support" a greater variety of payment options if they ever want their platform to succeed.

You may/maynot be able to take advantage of the current sale if you get the card now but you should be able to score the future deal if you choose to open one today.

btw, I think samsung pay supports pretty much all the popular cc issuers, like chase, amex, usbank, etc. You don't have any of those?  

Looking over the pic I took on Friday night, it shows the sale running from 3/24 to 4/8 on the Ford set.

No doubt. Even 50% off of Lego.com price is more than this.

Nope, just credit union issued cards & TRU Master Card. That's why I am looking at the Costco Citi card.

Not in Seattle ... ring up at 64.99 and they say that there is not sales ..

Not true in Bellevue or Puyallup. Both Raptor and 911 sets ring up at $24.99.

Looks like the Ebay cards are no longer available....

costco citi provides you a so so benefit, but if you don't have one, it doesn't hurt to get one and start rolling. However, there are certainly a lot of better cards out there. for example, if you shop at grocery stores a lot, you may want to consider Amex Blue Cash Everyday as it can give you 3% back for your grocery shopping for the first $6k in one calendar year. You may also want to take a look at Chase Freedom card as it will offer you 5% cashback if you signup for its promotional category each quarter. Discover It is also a good card to own but I am not sure if it is supported by Samsung pay.

Of course, there are even better choices if you are willing to pay the membership fee. Pretty much all the cards I mentioned above have the annual fee versions but once again, to get which one is totally based on your own spending habits.

I was in south center and scanned it with those price checking scanner ... also brought to the front to try to purchase it .... both shown the original price instead of the discount ... no wonder they still have a ton

Southcenter...should have guessed...I hate that store. Bellevue has quite a few of both and both are marked on sale.

I got a $5 coupon a week or two ago, just like that. Did it show up in your "My EBay" dropdown menu?

I got a $10 off $30 on my account that I hardly ever use a couple of weeks ago. I think they were trying to motivate me to buy something and it worked.

No that's what is weird. Not showing on the home screen either, just happened to note a little "pay only $60...blah blah blah" text near the BIN button on an auction I was looking at and saw I had the coupon. Probably a bug w mobile that i couldn't see it.

I got mine over the weekend, so it's been around at least since Saturday. Just shows up beneath the list price saying "pay only $x - $15, see how." Then it gives you a one time personalized coupon code

It does not work for me.  Targeted offer perhaps?
