A set to get if you can find them with the Toys R US Buy one get one half Price is the Friends 3185 Summer Riding Camp Set. Its the Largest Friends Set Made and its only a Lego and Toys R US Exclusive. Now Lego wants $99.99 and Toys R Us wants $109.99, but with the Toys R Us sale it comes out to about $86 a set, since I got 7 Toys R Us stores in my area I only got 8 of them, but will try again in a few days. This set was selling for close to $200 at Christmas, and once its retired this and Oliva's House will be the 2 sets you want to have alot of. Ed

Thanks for the heads up. Going to stop by a TRU that had it in Stock on my way home to see if I can get this deal

thank you kenchu2000, you saved me a trip to Emeryville.

Not available online or in your nearest store so a wild goose chase like we have on Hot UK Deals (where I troll). Anyway, the only Friends set worth investing in IMHO is the DC.

Just checked my store in Green Bay, WI. Still at full retail. Must be UK only, unless the USA marks down in the near future, but I doubt it. Bummer. That's a great deal!

Sorry guys I think this is UK only I should have said in the title

 

They are now out of stock online but still available for local collection

 

Managed to reserve 2 so collecting later today

Not a wild goose chase, I reserved two at Reading and just this moment picked up five at Woking. I think you're wrong by saying Olivia's House and Summer Riding Camp aren't worth investing in. If the retail price for this set is

I also reserved one last night at my nearest store, ready for pick up, not sure if I should have ordered more on this one.

This should help clear them out.

Bought one today a Retail with the Bricktober Freebie.  This one is about to take off....

Good question. At my local Lego stores, they have a TON of these. All of the old Friends stuff is gone, but plenty of these on the shelf. I am wondering what it will do for the long term value in the set, I can't figure out why there would be a ton of interest in Heartlake Stables, and less in this one. 

 

I am betting it is gone in the next 6 months.

 

It's easiest to go look at EBay sold prices.  I see several already going for $150, so I think that's a good indicator that it will take off after the first of the year or sooner. With 2x VIP and the promos, I think now is a good time to buy at S@H, if you haven't already.

You are lucky devils if you can still pick this up at a B&M store. I have a few, but the recent sold signs tell me a few more would have been better. The two TRUs (Canada) around me have been sold out for a couple months at least. Now is the perfect time to snag these.

which LEGO Shop at Home exciter? The price at lego is 49.98 and that means it's long gone... The only hope is local TRU now.

which S@H exciter? The price at lego is 49.98 and that means it's long gone... The only hope is local TRU now.

 

Ohhhh, sorry, I actually didn't look and thought I saw someone above had mentioned S@H still had them for backorder.

It was hard for me to justify buying this set at B1G1 50% off, oh say 6 months ago.  Now I wish I would have.  Oh Well.  Hopefully the girls don't want this one...

FBA trending @ $190.. price has been soaring .a gain of about 40$ in the last 2 months or so

I don't know where they pulled them from, but my TRU (Canada) had none for a long time and now have five on the shelves..marked up another $10 up from the regular Canadian MSRP. For Canucks looking for one for personal use/gift, still better than ebay/amazon right now. If they had been there during Bricktober I might have snagged a couple.  Looks like this will easily be over $200 FBA in another four weeks.

I havent seen one of those turkeys in months

I can still buy them for 15% below RRP. I bought one yesterday. I think I will buy a couple more. Will be a big hit next Xmas I project. Goal will be minimum 5. Will transfer this project over to my wife.

Can put my hands on 3 of these at 149.99$ + 15% CAD you think it will still go higher than what it is right now .. still an 172.45$ CAD cost each .. ?
