nolanfan34 Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/tag/4879211325.html Another one. But a good deal. Sent from my XT1095 using Brickpicker mobile app Thanks for posting this. I picked it up today. It's deleted now, but it was a Palace Cinema and an Architecture Studio (first edition version) for $250 total. Very nice guy. Adult collector. Having to sell off a bunch of stuff due to a personal situation and home for sale. He said he would be posting more to Craigslist, he had one of a bunch of random sets, mostly recently retired or current super heroes, Star Wars, the Hobbit, and a few Ideas like Minecraft, BTTF, and the Ecto-1. Probably a good deal to be had there for someone for the whole lot, but I only had enough cash for what I planned to buy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolanfan34 Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 Anyone find clearance deals at Fred Meyer like justapilgrim? Yep. Found the TMNT Lair Invasion for $40, Chima Mammoth for $35, one Chima Phoenix Fire Temple for $46 at the Fred Meyer in Bellevue (box had seals on one side that looked iffy, so I decided to pass). I also found one Friends bakery for $11. Didn't find any Arctic Bases. Family House is still $69. No Benny's. I would guess based on how they priced this clearance that if you find a Heartlake Mall it will be on clearance, as will the Agents HQ. I haven't seen either for a month though.

wsuskee Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 yeah mine in olympia didnt have much as far as lego clearance. Nice find on the bakery though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolanfan34 Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 yeah mine in olympia didnt have much as far as lego clearance. Nice find on the bakery though. Yep, that is one where my radar is tuned enough to Fred Meyer that I know it will scan clearance before I even try it. Haven't seen that for months there. Forgot to mention - Dolphin Cruiser, Cinderella's Castle should be clearance now if you run across one. And be sure to scan, as not all Freddies are great about posting clearance tags.

kman223 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I've actually been talking to him for a few weeks now. He is a really nice guy going through a rough patch. he has some open sets we are working out a deal on, just waiting for his ex to pick what she wants. But he is a huge collector of other things as well. His video game collection is insane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually asked one time if I always just missed the Lego in clearance since I know there is a big spender in my area that hits up fred meyers. The person I talked to said they move the Lego over to clearance only if they need to fill space and that they rarely put the discount stickers on the Legos. He said if differs from store to store and to always look on the top shelf for older items on discount. Heck im so short (5'7)I never even notice legos all the up there.

tabolton314 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Has anyone every driven up to the Lego stores in BC and bought stuff? Any trouble coming back through the border with lego (in quantity or not)? Am toying with the idea of heading up, since the exchange rate is in our favor.

nolanfan34 Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 I have not. Isn't any dollar benefit offset by the higher Canada prices though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redghostx Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Based on 1us dollar worth 1.23-1.24 after exchange and bank fees, all you will be saving is the tax (upon return). There are only a few items that are cheaper in Canada than the US but a lot of items are now similar. Ex Astris, Scientia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabolton314 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Well, I was looking at the price of the Helicarrier. The exchange rate would make it $316 rather than $349. I haven't done any other price checks. So I was just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, last time I considered this was for the last Lego store opening to get that Lego store set. On a semi-related note, recently when returning to country via air, the US customs agent stated they were going to consider each Simpsons minifigure pack to be worth $5. Had 2 sealed cases in my luggage, so 120 packs. Thankfully was able to talk them down and didn't have to pay duty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redghostx Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Another note is that your declaration is 'supposed to' be the value of the item and not what you paid for it. Technically, assume that you paid $320US for a $350US item, you are 'supposed to' declare $350US. 'Supposed to' is in quotations because I assume that nobody does this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpoltergeist Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Just found some Chima mammoth $35, as mentioned before. My Fred Meyer had them yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minicoopers11 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 So has anyone here bought something at Fred Meyer with one of those yellow "stick-on" stock control alarms/devices? Do they come off without damage when the cashier takes it off? There was an emmet mech that was ripped under the device (it was loose already, so I'm guessing it was tampered with). Curious if they leave any marks when taken off properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimboJet Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I've removed two as carefully as possible by hand and both removed the box printing. I did not try anything more advanced like a hair dryer, but would bet that would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolanfan34 Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 Yeah, I have not tried a hair dryer on the plastic thing yet, or on that little sticker that every Fred Meyer around me has on boxes now to deter theft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
