Thank you!  Didn't really want to pay RRP but had some points to use and free carousel helps.

FYI:

USPS will be closed tomorrow (12/5) for National Day of Mourning.  Plan your shipping accordingly

is this normal?  I personally don't mind but what if this would have occurred a few days before xmas?  Would they still have closed down?

Hi.  First time poster.  Thanks for the many tips here.  I wanted to try to reciprocate . . .

I'm guessing this is a mistake and limited to my store, but perhaps someone in the area will see the post?  My Target (Glenview, IL) has the Han Solo Landspeeder (75209) marked down to $15.99.  I brought one up to the register and it came up at $23.99.  I showed the cashier a picture of the price tag, and she marked it down to $15.99 without further discussion.  There were plenty of boxes of 75209 on the shelf, including a stack wrongly shelved a few shelfs above.

This is in remembrance of Bush 41. 

Just picked up my sets from the store and the boxes were really banged up. Will have to decide if parting out the sets is better or advertising that the boxes are jacked.

I know what it is for, I just don't remember this happening when other presidents passed away.  Sucks about your jacked up boxes. I feel you

 

Our Costco has the Star Wars X-Wing #75218 marked down to $47.97.  Not sure if it's a good enough set at that price though?  Might want to check your local stores as they are starting to mark down some of the Christmas items.

Thanks. And no I don’t they even did this for Reagan.  Not sure if they’ll do the same when Clinton or Carter dies if the current admin is in power. Not to get political here

It's been almost exactly 12 years since Ford died so this doesn't happen often. It will not take that long for the next to die most likely. Jimmy Carter is 94.

And apparently he has been battling cancer.

I'm sure the 60167 was the top target. Would have liked to grabbed more of those.

 

Could somebody explain the popularity of 60167?

1) 50% off

2) Boat

3) Largest Set in the theme

4) On/off Theme (typical 3-4 year cycle in City themes with Arctic and Coast Guard the most common ones).

Look at 60095 prices. Not the same set but certainly not dissimilar. I wish I would have stocked up on 60095 when it was going for something like $60 at TRU.

He's cancer free and doing well remarkably. 

I may swing by a B&N later if they still have stuff in stock. Was too busy tracking down 10704s for $7.

Has this been priced as low before?

Waiting for my local to drop to $10 or less. Sitting on a stockpile at $15 right now... surprised they're willing to let that huge double wide pallet sit there stacked tall like that and not more motivated to move the product.

At least they are down that far for you.  We don't have a single store less then $20 around us.

Good lord.  It always shocks me the different areas and ecosystems that exist across the country.  10704 was gone in every store around me in the wee hours of black friday....

and I had to walk up hill, both ways in the snow for them at 20 bucks!

Same here.  Got them online this year.  There are about 200-400 in rural areas 200-400 miles away from me.  Not worth the trip thogh cause odds are when i show up, someone else beats me there.  I don't want to cry for 3-5 straight hours back home.

I ended up getting 15 or 20 of them for $20 each. None in my area are less than $20. I'm keeping an eye on them though and if they do drop to $7, there are supposedly around 400 of them within a 100 mile radius of me. I'll be taking a road trip to see how many fit in my truck... then I'll need to figure out where to store them when I get home.
