Hi folks,
I'm *baaa-aaack!* The insatiable LEGO discount-hound is back
in lovely Detroit and ready to do battle over the season's (and
post-season's) finest! Anyways, I will of course post info here
as I get it.
Batch one was yesterday. Instead of taking my connector from
Pearson (Toronto) to Newark, I rented a car and drove home to
Detroit. Naturally, I stopped at any likely shopping cluster
along the way, and took great advantage of the exchange rate.
I also found several sales of interest to folks in MI and southern
ON (and perhaps elsewhere in Canada):
-The Bay in London, ON has marked "25% off all toys." Their
retail does seem a mite higher than elsewhere I stopped, but
they have 18 6718 [sic?] Rain Dance Ridges--great for the 6x16
plate--at Can$12.99 each, and for you 2x2x5 lattice brick fans,
three copies of 6444 Outback Airstrip at Can$27.99 each. (That
is before the 25% off, of course.) There are a few Aquashark
accessory packs and one Spy Shark there as well. I don't know
if this sale is chainwide.
-Zellers. I stopped at the one on the approach to the
Ambassador Bridge, and they had 15% off all LEGO. Their prices
were a little higher than Wal-Mart (Can$9.99 for Droid Escape,
Can$14.99 for AT-ST, Can$27.99 for TIE) but with the 15% off it
was pretty good. What's more, they had almost everything in stock,
but it's a real mess (read: typical Christmas chaos). For
Detroiters it is, IMHO, worth crossing the bridge for--you can
save around 35%, even without trying to get the tax back. This
Zellers also had some CyberSlam, UFO, and an Explorien Starship
on "clearance" (meaning 10% off). Again, I'm not sure if this
sale (or item availability) is chainwide. Act fast, I may be back. ;)
In all I found Canadian stores to be stocked much more fully
than US ones--although I didn't see any of the big Mars base, or
the Mars shuttle--and the prices quite excellent. Oh, and I'm
very, very, very happy to have Tim Horton's donuts again. Really
happy. Did I mention how much I missed good donuts?
best
Lindsay
