BN after sale and member discount.

Did the Jurassic World Set ring up buy 1 get 1 50% automatically or did you have to have it adjusted?

It used to only be 5%, but then the Packers decided they needed to renovate Lambeau Field and that we should pay for it.

That one they adjusted because it wasn't on the excluded list. The Great Hall and Pirate Roller Coaster both rang up on their own.

Got 2 Voltrons and 3 Harry Potter minifigure packs not a bad haul from B&N.

So, as another data point on the Amazon as-displayed inventory lag, I jumped on DO when it was showing 2 in stock. One 1-click order, no change. Another add-to-cart order, no change. It showed in 2 in stock for about two more minutes (but couldn't add to cart, of course), before the page finally reflected Amazon was OOS.

Im not sure if anyone posted this yet, but amazon has 76052 the classic Batcave for $164.87

My hesitation on this set stems from the mountains of them still sitting on shelves. The Targets around me are using these sets as shelf fillers to fill in the gaps....

I'm hesitant too, but they've never been this low. When they hit clearance this spring, will they last past 30%? 50%? It's hard to say. At $16.xx out the door it's a low risk gamble.

Wait BOGO 50% works w/ Voltron at store?? I was told that was excluded...

I have been checking Blinq for more of the Batcave 76052 stock in case any got returned. I have gotten a few emails stating it was back in stock, only to find it out of stock when I followed the link. I followed the link this morning, and it was a Like new, Open box available.

6 hours later, I checked the website again, and it is still listed. This time, with a 45% additional discount code, bringing the total to $105.

The following is from their FAQ:

• Q: What does "Like New - Open Box" condition mean?
• A: Like New - Open Box items look and feel new. The packaging may show wear.

So if you missed out on the Batcave deal, keep checking back. You just might luck into the deal again.

Not sure about you guys, but my SW sales have been weaker without a movie this December compared to last year. Hoping 2019 will be better!

I called ahead and asked they said it wasn't YMMV

Is the BN bogo 50 off sale only in-store or online as well?

Re Target Sandspeeder: The completely non-canon origin of these (concept art from the original trilogy) doesn't make them too attractive to any age, IMHO. For a personal build plus two spare, sure, but clearing out shelves probably not the way to go...

I am generally avoiding most all SW these days....there's always an exception or two, but there are much more lucrative lines to put your money into.

I'm still a rookie...but i learned (the hard way) that Chima, Nexo, Angry Birds, Super Heroes (which I still don't get why it doesn't perform) are just not worth it. SW this year is getting pretty close to that list (stupid AOH). Shockingly, I've done better with Friends PopStar line than SW. But I appreciate all of you for teaching me! Happy Holidays everyone! Next up Unikitty!

ive made a killing on City, Castle, Ninjago, Jurassic World and Lone Ranger this Christmas.  SW is really bad, I concur, however I have sold 6-7 year old sets pretty easily this year like Bounty Hunter 7930, General Grevious 8095, T60 Shuttle, and SW Rebels minus the Tie Advanced Awing set.

Not at all. Just saying how poorly SW performed for me this year that Friends generated more revenue. I see Unikitty being the next Angry Birds unless someone out there has any input.

JW was definitely a killing (indominux rex breakout at 50% at Target...my first arm sweep...never forget your first)

So...took advantage of Been There with the cartwheel/GC discount. $11.51 with GC discount. Awesome.  

Got Target to also sell me 75188 for $58.10 even though they were showing it for $109.99 “on clearance”. Couldn’t give them my discounted GC fast enough!

Wally also got fleeced with 75203 at 50%. Been a good day....

GC discount?

Lone Ranger! Damn. I had forgotten that even existed. I wish I still had some of the those Constitution Trains.

It also has a good amount of desirable parts. You can sell the figures for $16.00 alone and make your money back.
