It really does work! I used exciter's time today and here's my proof!


It's all I could buy because they didn't have chip readers back then and most of my money is dated 2011 and beyond.

I also picked up some elves for 50% off at both Walmart and target. Both places didn't have them marked. A few small Friends sets at 50% and a City Fire Boat at 50%.

Also stopped by a Lego store to get the free bat signal poly. Wish I had my kids with me to get more.

We have a thread for that.

Bought my first Nexo Knight set that's not a polybag today:  70321 General Magmar's Siege Machine of Doom

Found it at Target on clearance for $20

Cool set. My son got this from Santa, he got it at Jet for $24 a month ago ....

I found a couple Arendelle Castles at Walmart for $35 a pop.

I also ordered a couple more Porsche Finish Lines from TRU at $29.99 ea. That puts me at a total of 5 from TRU online this week. I think I'm gonna go ahead and stop there to avoid the mighty hammer!

 

I got 70902 Catwoman Catcycle Chase at TRU for $12.97 after price matching to Amazon and using a $5 off rewards points coupon.

Didn't have any.  1 to build, 1 to forget.

Was my Last one, sorry!

No problem! Thank you anyway!
I still got a 15% discount code. In Austria there was a 17% new years discount code applicable last week, so I ordered several sets like the BWE (42055).
A 20% discount code would be tempting to buy some more sets. Maybe it's good that you don't have any codes left?!

Big technic sets usually have a 2 year life, this released June 16 so if we go by previous examples it should be around till end of next year.

This is being sold everywhere for permanent 20-30% now in UK, so could be a very long hold. One positive is that it is a fast seller and very popular set.

5x 75101 FO TIE Fighters for @ $44 ea at B&N after 30% off plus another 10% off for my membership. Not the best price but figured why not?

Still debating going back for the 50% off Kotobukiya HulkBuster. 

Local TRU is going out of business. Today Lego dropped to 50% off....so as usual I bought too much.

So that means all Lego was 30% off MSRP? ;-)

Found on CL for $65 (had it shipped).  7893 Passenger Plane from 2006.  NISB.  Front of box has a minor crease at the bottom.  Box is in good shape for its age and the seals are intact.  I am happy with my find and with not having to leave the house to get it!  Would have had to drive 1 ½ hours one way for pick-up.

Maybe they'll still let him price match with Amazon or Target for even bigger savings!

60134 City Fun in the Park and 70900 Joker Balloon Escape for $34 at Kmart.  FitP was $30.99 (RRP $39.99).  I used $6 in Surprise Points, plus $6 in expiring points, and also got $10 in points back.

41135 Livi's Pop Star House for $5. Crazy insane Shopko clearance. Found it this morning and had to check all of my other Shopkos before I posted. Sadly, that's the only one I found for $5.

I found two more for $35 each after stacking the $10 off $50 coupon, which I purchased as well.

Today was a good day.

Walmart #1:

Walmart - 41101 Heartlake Grand Hotel - $64 (battered box, closed seals)

Then popped into Target and found one of the Ultimate Nexo Knights my son was still missing:

Target - 70338 Ultimate General Magmar - $4.98

Paid it forward by tipping off a mom who was shopping for her son's birthday that the King Pig Castle was $44.98 (they had 2 mint boxes), she promptly added it to the full-price U-wing she already had in her cart.

Also found 2x41111 Friends Party Train for $5.03 each (weird price, you'd have expected $4.98 as that's a more common clearance price, but this was 30% off $7.19, which on its own was likely already a sale price as MSRP is $9.99)

Target - 2x41111 Friends Party Train - $5.03 each

Because of those 2x41111 I decided to go all in and go back to my honey-hole WM to see if the remaining 3x41111 and the 4x41171 I spotted there on Sunday and left ($5 each, only took one 41111 for my daughter that day) were still there. Yes they were, in exactly the same neat vertically stacked piles as I had left them (after contemplating buying them on Sunday and scouring the shelves for more copies). Just for fun, as I was scanning other items which were on clearance but didn't drop in price, I ran them through the price scanner and lo-and-behold, they rang up $2.50. Needless to say I loaded them all into my cart.

Walmart - 3x41111 Friends Party Train - $2.50 each

Walmart - 4x41171 Emily Jones and the Baby Wind Dragon - $2.50 each

I promised my wife to pick up a free Christmas Tote at Meijer ($4.24 on clearance, plus 20% off clearance, plus a rewards coupon) so I checked out the LEGO aisle there. Nothing really interesting (there was another small-scale LEGO reseller browsing, he was price checking several items and had the one and only T-Rex Tracker in the store in his cart). Noticed a small basket with some Mixels in it on clearance for $3.99 (25% off). On a whim decided to see what complete series they had and walked away with 8 out of 9 Series 9 Mixels. Had to drive to my other 2 Meijers, which each hardly had any Mixels left, to find the last one (Mysto) in the third Meijer.

Meijer - Complete set of series 9 mixels - $19.12 (after 20% off clearance and some rewards coupons (~$9))

Then I headed out to play poker with my friends and managed to win, which paid for most of my purchases.

Was actually able to combine most of this with trips I was already making, so the overhead was maybe 1-2 hours.
