TheOrcKing Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I didn't see any LEGENDS OF CHIMA or MINIFIGURES Series 9 at all, and I had to go to Target to find only a couple of this year's sets. Did find some good deals on a few of last years offerings. Anyway, here we go.CREATORPropellor AdventuresBought for around $13, originally retailed for $19.99Seaside HouseBought for $35, originally retailed for $49.99GamesMinotaurusFound a few of these left at Target for half-off. Got the only one left at Walmart for $12, originally retailed for $24.99. I really don't need more of this set. Plus the box was pretty banged up. No matter, bought for parts anyway.CityMining Dozer (polybag)Got the last one at Walmart for $1.50Fire MotorcyclePolice ATVHigh Speed ChaseI didn't need to buy this one so soon, but that 'exclusivity' kinda bugged me. I've already lost out on a couple of sets that were Toys R Us exclusives that somehow made their way to Target and was not going to let it happen again.Galaxy SquadSpace SwarmerTeenage Mutant Ninja TurtlesKrang Lab EscapeI don't care if they want to call him "The Kraang" now, that's just freakin retarded and it's just "Krang"!Yes, I am THAT much of a nerd.I should note that I've found a lot of the formally Toys R Us exclusive "Mining Quad" polybag at Target, and the "TIE Fighter" polybag that I found at Walmart previously is now available at Target currently (and it may be for a while).

cortman Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 My wife had an eye doctor appointment last night, so while she was at that I wandered around town and stopped at Target. They had Series 7 minifigs still there, so I bought three hoping to get one of the ones I'm looking for (Aztec Warrior especially). Turned out to be the Bunny Suit Guy (ok- I'll probably keep it), the Intergalactic Patrol (already have one- it's going on eBay), and the Bride (not very interested). So I struck out there. BUT I did pick up #9461- the Swamp Creature set from Monster Fighters. Very nice little set! The first- and probably the only -Monster Fighter set I've gotten. I got it mainly for the minifigs- they're pretty cool. And the nostalgia of a $7 set- brought back memories of saving and saving as a youngster to buy similarly priced Aquazone, Space, and Johnny Thunder sets. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legodog Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 6869 Quinjet Aerial Battle for $49 6864 The Batmobile and the Two-Face Chase for $37 Not great deals but I am putting a lot of faith in the super hero stuff. I think it will pay off in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennartuhlen Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I've just got 4000007 - Ole Kirk's House today. So I'm a happy man today. Also got 2 Set of 8674 - Ferrari F1 Racer 1:8. But with boxes open but bags inside are unopened. I must say that I envie you guys in the US and Lego prices. Here in Europe Lego prices are a bit higher.

exciter1 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 This may or may not be considered a great deal, depending on a person's pont of view. I'm a little late to the game with Harry Potter sets, since I just recently started buying Lego. I've been watching for this set recently. Harry Potter's Hogwart's Castle (4842) showed up available at YoYo.com when I was searching around today for $129.99. I signed up a relative for a YoYo account to use the YOYO30 new customer code which brought it down to $109.99 (free shipping, no tax). I thought this was pretty good for 4842, since it's been steadily selling for $160-$200 on EBay recently. I'd like to have multiples of this set, but I've spent too much recently. I did get a Diagon Alley last month when Amazon ran the $20 off $100 promotion, so I'm glad I jumped on it when I did, since these will go nicely together.

stephen_rockefeller Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Oh I see.....well I think they will probably get more landspeeders in but as for the maersk train I think its pretty much done everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOrcKing Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Are all Targets Lego's half off? Not at mine, they weren't. Only a few odd sets actually were. I suppose it really depends on where you live. I know at my Target when I was just there the other day, they had a few of the GAMES "Minotaurus" set and (I kid you not) almost 100 of the STAR WARS - PLANETS "Naboo" set for half-off. (That doesn't bode well for investment on that particular set, now does it?) As for anything else, nothing. I did find a CREATOR "Propellor Adventures" set for around 35-40%, but that was it. I went out of my way and scanned a few items to see if maybe they were on sale, but alas they went back up to normal retail. Oh well, I need to save so I can purchase this year's offerings anyway.

Doofy McGee Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Happened upon a Kai's Blade Cycle that was returned to Target and was being put back out on the shelf. It was on clearance for $10.48. So I got a retired set for 30% off. It's not that big of a deal, but even the small victories feel good. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to my local Target and I found three Ghost Trains for $40, and one The Mummy for $6. Not bad for just checking one Target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizkid23 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Was at Wal Mart yesterday and picked up a Harry Potter Bus (set #4866) for 15.00...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kutaone Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Damn...and I was pumped about my 3 buses at 34.99 a pop... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizkid23 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Yeah, and I was just in there the day before and it was priced at 34.97, but the box is not in great shape. I might just open and display. I still think any Harry Potter that can be found now for regular price is a good deal. All of the last wave of sets are seeing considerable increases on eBay....Just make sure you check your Barnes and Noble stores if u have any in your area. The ones around me still have a few.....

kutaone Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 The TRU by me has about ten left as of this AM. The boxes are in GREAT shape. I just didn't want to spend 400 on the bus. (I already have like 6 TRU doesn't even have the Harry Potter LEGO section on their website anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
