TheDarkness Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 Yeah it isn't too bad. I was not impressed to see only the latest LOTR wave under the sign. I scanned them all hoping someone had messed up anyway, but no bonuses with those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Sadly there weren't any at my local store, just the sign Hopefully you can find some Unexpected Gathering. At that price point, you can't lose. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkness Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 If I didn't have a two year old having a tantrum and 2 City Airport sets in my hands i would have asked for them to check out the back. I will pop past again though if i can and check anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinger-311 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 LOL i have that to look forward to in a few years. Shame its not an online thing. I checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkness Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 I know. I was gutted not to see it online. That being said, not very happy with Target online. Ordered two Arkham sets, only one in the box despite the packing slip saying 2. The box i did get had a hole in it ( will be my copy now). Dealing with customer service who told me only one package was posted, and not entirely sure they believed me. Get the feeling I am in for a bit of a fight.

stinger-311 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 WOW, such a difference from Amazon customer service. I would always take photos as soon as that happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkness Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 I'm not so fussed about the damaged box, but them not believing me about the missing one is concerning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinger-311 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Yeah thats what I meant, that they have so little faith in their customers. They need to realise that is how they stay in business by people buying their products. I would go in store to complain, not over the phone that way its harder for them to brush you off.

TheDarkness Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 The same store where they put the Hobbit notice over the LOTR second wave and probably hide all their Hobbit lego? Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffollo Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Hi Darkness. I owe you big time... Just went to my local Target and bought 6 x The Goblin King and 3 x Unexpected Gathering. All the other sets are also there but even at 50% they don't seem a bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffollo Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Have to buy you a beer. I am in QLD. Do you think it's worth buying all sets? I am pretty sure about the larger sets but the smaller sets I find overpriced. P.S. I've got a two year old as well. Know how you feel...

TheDarkness Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 The Goblin King set is one I am not sure about. I personally don't like the goblins, the dwarves in the set aren't exactly key ones and the scene itself was fairly pasted by many people. Also with two more movies coming I doubt there will be any changes to the minifigures really, so people might be able to get them later down the road in smaller sets. When I first scored my sets I thought it was a steal but now I am not so sure on it. The Warg set I like. It all depends really on what Hobbit sets they release with the next two movies. Wargs play an important part so I would imagine we will see them again, potentially diminishing the value of this set. Mirkwood Spiders and Barrel Escape, well we haven't seen the scenes yet so it is hard to judge. An Unexpected Gathering is a sure thing, and I am going to hold onto mine for as long as I can because that set will always be iconic. I would love to have 100 of them I am that certain. All the Hobbit sets are overpriced, especially here. 50% off though makes them all well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinger-311 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Success also 5 x unexpected gatherings 3 x attack of warg 3 x mirkwood spiders 5 x riddle of ring. They are overpriced but at 50% off cant say no and once they go EOL they will appreciate nicely. Consider there are 2 more Hobbit movies to come. The only one i didnt get is goblin king - I also am unsure of this, but for 75 i am tempted to get 2 or 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffollo Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Did you see any Barrel Escape? Are they normally available at Target? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkness Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 Some people said they were able to get Council of Elrond 50% off. Certainly wasn't like that at my store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinger-311 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I have never seen barrel escape in shops. I think they are exclusive to TRU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinger-311 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I scanned to LOTR sets at Target but only 20% off. Lies i tell you, lies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkness Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 I've heard it a few times from different sources, people picking up the pirate ship for $55. I could cry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinger-311 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Pirate ships for 55, holy crap!!!! You could make 30 bucks off that reselling. Thats insane. Just FYI Kmart had no LOTR or Hobbit lego on shelves at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
