The 20% online sale ended at end-of-day May 6.

My first order of 3 Helm's Deep has shipped!

Argh, I picked up a few things before the sale that I need to try and get refunded on the difference. Then I picked up a few more items and I was planning on buying more today but I hadn't checked to see when the sale was ending. That was quick.

Good luck, unless you did it yesterday I would guess that you will have a hard time getting them to refund anything.

Yeah, I would have had to run out there yesterday after dinner. Not worth it.

I did still get a great deal. I managed to pick up two Orc Forges and an Uruk-Hai Army at 20% off. I paid $31 each after taxes (including the 5% for the target card). They seem to be going at around $50 on Ebay now. That's about a $14 profit on Ebay if I decide to flip it which is pretty respectable. I sold about 20 Funhouse Escapes last year at that profit margin and I'm pretty happy with it.

Or I could hold onto it for Christmas. Maybe it will be worth $60 to $70 then.

Funny how now that the sale is over, the Helm's Deep set is suddenly back in plentiful stock. Not surprising I guess.

I would have bet big money this was a final clearance event. What was that, Mother's Day sale? Just a random 24 hour mega sale that wasn't advertised, held online only, and Target will now restock the first wave of LOTR Lego sets just to clearance them out again in three weeks when they get retired officially? I don't get it...

Either way, those were some great deals yesterday on some soon to be retired sers. We will be very happy in a couple months.

Helms Deep discount was not being honored at one of the Targets I went too today.

I received my order from Target today. I gotta commend them for the expedient shipping, but my order was packed horribly inside a large but thin box without much insulation, and as a result, 2 of the sets inside (Gandalf Arrives and Uruk-Hai Army) were totally smashed up. I'm going to have to take them to a store I guess and do an exchange.

The 20% off was a one day only discount, May 6th only.

Need some help here...got an Epic Dragon Battle via UPS today...what do you all think, is this mint or only NEAR mint? I can't decide!

Wow that's bad... I got my sets today and they did come mint, but one of the shipping boxes was really beaten up and completely deformed.

Yeah, can't wait to see how the Orc Forges turn out. Strangely they shipped that one first, but it hasn't arrived yet. Of course Epic Dragon Battle is listed as "not available in stores" so good luck finding a replacement box I guess....

Ouch...maybe you can build that set. It is a great display set!

The Target Website shows The Nijango Epic battle online only, but thats wrong alot of targets have them, I got 5 Epic Battles, and 5 Helm's Deep, one box was damaged for the Epic Battle, and 2 Helm's Deep were damaged so went over and exchanged them for mint ones.

Cool. I seem to remember seeing them in stores recently, so I will have to call around. I laughed hard when I opened the box.

That Dragon battle looks like my Uruk-Hai Army. One side totally crushed. Luckily the Mines of Moria set was unscathed.

3 out of 5 helm's deep came in that condition. One was dropped so far it popped it open.

Mine shipments were split 50/50, half mint , half crushed badly. Will try to return what I can. Not too happy.
