 | | Slim pickings at Target?

During my lunch hour I discovered that my local Target has eight different LEGO sets on its shelves, three MEGABLOKS sets, and one Best-Lock. I don’t recall such drastic inventory downsizing during the past few summers. Has there been a change of (...) (19 years ago, 3-Aug-05, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.general)

|

Warning--this post contains info about a clone brand, but it's relevant to LEGO, so bear with me... TRU currently has a bunch of stuff with green price tags and signs all over the store proclaiming an additional 30% off green-tagged items. Sounds (...)

Yes, they'll go to 75% off, as I have picked up a few sets at 75% off already. Seems to be store-specific, though, as one local store had 8777 at 75% off, the other had it at 30% (needless to say, I bought all the 75% off, am waiting on the few 30% (...)

(...) Hey, Does anyone know if they will go to the 75% off level, and, if so, after how long? I've checked out my local Target and there are some things that I'd probably not pay $25 for, but, heck, I'd by Clickits* if they got slashed as low as (...)

The Mini-MTT (4491) hit 50% off at one store, so I bought a pile. I was surprised to discover a 4490 inside one of them! This is like opening up an oyster to find a slightly unexpected pearl. Though they are more like clams. -Erik (19 years ago, 16-Jul-05, to lugnet.market.shopping)

The CAD prices vs USD, range from 1.25 to 1.55 I think. The biggest star wars set is 140 CAD, 90 USD, which is 1.55 which is TOTALLY NUTS!!! But yes some items are very close to exchange which is a good sign, like the Death star 400 CAD vs 300 USD. (...) (19 years ago, 8-Jul-05, to lugnet.market.shopping)
