Buying is the easy part. 

Dealing with the consequences is the hard part.

Heard from the lovely wife in the living room while checking on her Amazon orders: "You bought more LEGOs!?!?"

Does anybody have a MOC for a adult-sized doghouse?

 

On this topic, Jeff, many of these "sales" seem to be the same eternal discount price.  Maybe you could do some time-averaging of the "typical" price of these sets and somehow work that into an "actual discount" that would help to filter out the noise.

pro-tip: Archive order option on amazon...warning it's a slippery slope

I have no idea, but none of this is on topic. You can chat about this here:

I have Michaels starting to show up now.  Will probably have Joanns in there tomorrow.  

Personally woujld l;ove to see the 20% deals....while they dont always seem like a great deal, finding the right Arch/Speed Champs etc for 20% can be a good bulk buy

Agreed

I guess this is an algorithm question. 

Why is the blue baseplate rightfully showing up in the above 20%+ sale list (target, walmart) but the green baseplate which as the same 20%+ sale (target, walmart), does not? 

Or the Gray 48 x 48 stud baseplate for that matter?

Thanks.

Green baseplate actually is the same price ($4.99). I bought three of each (because limits) at Target to get free shipping.

I have a bit of backlog data entry to do for adding some sets in the db to map to different stores.   

also I keep seeing that the current page was added Monday at 7pm...how often is it really being refreshed/updated?..or am I missing something

the post doesn't change.  It's updated all the time, hundreds of times a day.

There is a time stamp on each product listed too.

This is awesome!!! Thank you @Jeff Mack!!

 

any chance we can get Duplo sets? I know Duplo never showed up on the Amz tracker.

Hi! Interested to know if us Canadians will get a similar thread? 😀

It can.  What are the stores for Canada? (Amazon, Walmart, LEGO, what else?). The other thing is, what is the demand for a Canadian tracker?

That’s great! There’s definitely a demand for it. Canada used to have a tracker but it appears to have been disabled sometime in 2019. 
 

Amazon, Walmart, LEGO, Best Buy, Chapters (Canadian version of Barnes & Noble) Mastermind Toys , Costco Canada,  those would be the main options. It would be fantastic to have a tracker on those!

I will check them out, will let you know 

Ok, I'm hesitating to throw this one out there and if it is a simple "no" I'm good with that.

Hidden Side Train is selling for $59.99 @ target.  However, the price is only visible in the shopping cart.  As a former computer programmer, I'm not sure how you would even capture a "shopping cart price", but here you go.

Perhaps there is a way to capture "see shopping cart" as an alternative to an actual sale price and percentage?

Mastermind toys in Canada delivers to US. Conversion rate easily negates shipping fees.

Took care of it for you..

Personally woujld l;ove to see the 20% deals....while they dont always seem like a great deal, finding the right Arch/Speed Champs etc for 20% can be a good bulk buy

I feel you, but it gets crowded really fast. There are 300+ sets available that could go 20% off, but only dozens of SC and Arch that would be of interest.
Does it have to be a flat 20% across the board? I’d be interested in 15% off creator expert or modular, but not a 20% off trolls or HS or even City, Friends,etc.

Could there be a hierarchy?

A thought, forgive me if it sounds spoiled (which I do feel with this new feature), can we have more font changes for different criteria?
Bold if it’s 30%+ Larger if it’s 40%+
Different colors?
Fade to grey or smaller font if it’s perma-20, like after 2 weeks at the same discount it goes to the bottom of the feed in a smaller, lighter font.
New changes or greater discounts get larger, brighter fonts and it rises to the top/front of the feed.

Or a way to click on the left and narrow your criteria like some sites do.... but just speaking out loud.  SO THANKFUL for the work put in, do not want to criticise!
