OK, who else here from Washington, Oregon, Idaho? (Could include Alaska I guess too)

 

I know we have a few folks from the Seattle area, thought it could be cool to have a PNW thread to call our own for some of our regional stuff that doesn't fit in other threads broadly, like discussion of Fred Meyer or Bartell Drugs?

 

Fred Meyer in particular has a good sale on right now, although they are getting cleaned out quickly:

 

- Uruk Hai Army $19.99

- SW Planet sets $4.99

- 4440 Forest Police Station for $49.99

 

Lots of Hero Factory on sale as well for 40%-ish off.

 

Anyone else want to raise their hand as a PNW'er?

Oh yeah! I will be there as a vendor! Come say hello :)

Ugh, we are moving this weekend. I would love to go on Saturday. Going to have to figure that out somehow....

Of course!  I've been meaning to make it up to your shop, just need to make the time.

are the fred Meyers up there charging 4.49 for the simpson minifigures?

I've only been to target and TRU, both have them for 3.99

Any store that used to stock them in Olympia are either out or in between orders. I have yet to buy one.

Yes, my FM is charging 4.49.

Checking in from Oak Harbor, WA. Wish we had more stores on the island to search, only Walmart. The store here has a very small selection to pick from. Have fun.

my fred meyer lowered their price to 3.99 today on the simpson minifigures

Fred Meyer has 79007 Black gate at $42. 30% off

Fred Meyer has actually got a TON of nonmarked discounted sets right now.  Pretty sure it's all of Chima, Hobbit, and Lord of the Rings for roughly 1/3 off.  Just got the Chima Lion Temple for $79.99, scouting out today to see if any of the FM's around me has the Pirate Ship Ambush.  

Pirate Ship Ambush is $69.99. Black Gate is $41.99 if you can find it. I am waiting, the price tags expire 5/17, so wondering if prices will adjust lower.

 

The Chima Lion Temple reminds me of what they did with Epic Dragon Battle last year - it went to $79.99, and then a week or two later it went down to $59.99/

Fred Meyer has a 7-day Bonus coupon for 20% off a toy purchase of $20 or more.

 

The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings, Castle, and a few Ninjago and Creator sets were on sale.

 

Town Chase  $39.99

Dol Guldur Battle  $54.99

Battle at the Black Gate  $44.99

Wizard Battle  $9.99

Mirkwood Elf Army  $24.99

 

You can use the coupon on the sale items.

Was coming here to post this. Note that the Chima Lion Temple is on sale for $79.99, and it works on this as well. Hard to find in store still though. They also have the Guardians of the Galaxy sets out at some stores, this coupon makes them a great deal for some quick early parting-out if you're into that.

I picked up one Chima Lion Temple today, came to $69 and change after tax. Great deal, even better in Oregon. I'm not a Chima fan but for the price this is either a Christmas sale, or Santa will be delivering it at home.

Just wanted to let you know that your avatar pic is awesome! I bet Ventura wishes he never rushed the mound against that Ol' Gunslinger! lol

Fred Meyer took my wallet this week.  Pirate Ship Ambushes (2), Lion Temples (2), Mirkwood Elf Army (1), Wolverine (4), GOTG (2), Dragon Mountain (2) and a handful of LEGO Movie minifigures.  Glad the sale is over so I can start recouping some of my $$!!

Anyone find any sweet deals out in the PACNORWEST today? popped into Target in Silverdale. nothing to yell about. tomorrow I think I will drop by Wallyworld and maybe TRU. So far I haven

Well darn.  I was looking forward to Fred Meyer's sales this week (last year I used the $30 off $150 home purchase, which includes toys) AND got the free turkey too. But now the $30 off $150 coupon says that it excludes LEGO.  

Yeah I've noticed that since a few months ago, all toy sales at Freddie's are now excluding Lego. Darn!

Freddie's sales have been underwhelming lately.  I wonder if this will be the norm?

I cannot decide if I am disappointed by this, or if I should thank them for saving me at least a thousand dollars I would have spent there.

Many of the ones around me have started adding stickers to Lego, which have a number to call if the item is resold. I don't think they are targeting resellers, but are targeting theft in general.
