They had these out:

 

Sidney Opera House

Ewok Village

Tower of Orthanic

10240 X-wing

 

I would rate them Tower, Ewok, Sidney, X-wing

 

First off - The Tower of Orthanic is incredible and I will be purchasing it Monday when I go back. Its massive, Tree Beard is massive and it is about the most imposing thing I have ever seen when you walk in. The Black, an almost foot tall Charter holding orcs. Its incredible.

 

A close second is the Ewok Village. It just looks tons of fun. Soooo many awesome looking minifigures and the set is extremely detailed. I think it is absolutely worth the price tag even at 1990 pieces. The set is really attractive and looks great on display.

 

Sidney Opera House - I liked it, but I was not overly impressed. From the sides it looks pretty awesome. However, from the top it looks a little weird. The pieces on top don't come together all that well and it looks a little rough. Now, if you display it high up, no problem. I think its just too expensive though at this point. It may be like the TB and never get discounted, but I think this one should have been $250. Considering the Ewok Village was right next to it and looked a lot more impressive, it felt like a much better deal.

 

The X-wing - its just not that great except for the size. There is nothing that really draws me to it and $200 is outrageous. I think its going to end up like the B-wing - although I think the Bwing looks better than this set. Maybe its $99 next May the 4th? I hope so because Im not paying $200 for it for sure.

 

Anyone else notice these in the stores? My phone was dead but when I go back next week Ill try to get some pictures. 

Neigbours! Im in BC. We also dont have any Targets close by, prob 45 - 60 minute drive away. I cant wait till the one in the mall near me opens. I'd totally go everyday.

Southern Alberta a couple hours from the border. That`s a good find! Where are you at?

Haha, my city apparently missed the boat on Target. Best of luck on scoring some good deals when that one opens near you though 

Ha - I assume you are out of school like me. 6 years of Calculus and transforms and electrical equations, and I need a calculator to add 2+2 now

 

Haha. Yes long time out of school. I hated calculus, Maths lost its appeal when it hit algebra. And the advantage of the metric system, is that all you have to do is to divide or multiply by 10.

  

Thanks for the tip, but I`m in Canada with no Target close to me. Closest is in the next city (2 hours away) and I checked out 2 on my trip at the end of July in hopes of finding a stash. Struck out completely though. Sadly Target.com doesn`t ship to Canada either. Best bet for me will likely be to watch Amazon.ca in hopes of un offer, however unlikely that is, or to see if by some crazy reason lego.ca decides to re-list them. It still says "Temporarily Out of Stock", which puzzles me.

Amazon UK keeps listing them for

just cant get over the price of the ewok though. 249.99 seems a bit pricy for 1,990 parts. It does come with alot of figures though, but i feel it will have a VERY LONG RUN. comparable to the 10188

I keep seeing posts about 10% off coupons but they seem elusive.  I live close to a Lego store and spend plenty there, but yet to see anything like the coupon in the mailer.

 

Also, many people are buying the Tower for display which I want to do, but concerned about dust.  The pieces are shiny black which don't do well with dust, compared to all the grey in the Star Wars sets that don't show dust.  Any opinions?

Supposedly if you request the magazine and you live within 50 miles, you get one. But I can't confirm - I don't live within 50 miles.

 

Your lucky. I still have four years of high school to go and most likely college.

 

Ha ha...no. YOU'RE lucky cause you still have four years of high school and likely college. Enjoy it!

The 10% off coupons are on the quarterly Lego catalogs.  If you have ordered from S@H, they should send you one although you may want to call to confirm.  DNIIM is correct - there is a certain radius from a Lego store that are sent automatically (50 miles sounds right).  Keep in mind they are only redeemable at a Lego Store, not S@H.

 

 

*Edit* The coupons are on the back cover of the catalog.

Did you pick up any more orc forges while you were there?

Not yet. Going Monday so I can get the exclusives - there are still 15 or so for $31.98

I think that Target still has the Orc Forge - you should pick one up.

yes for some reason target still has them in stock online

I live within 50 miles and requested a catalouge. No coupon though. Maybe It is just a US thing.
