Hey Guys,
I have a challenge for you for 2001. Do not pay retail for any sets in 2001.
This of course does not apply to promo, HTO, or S@H exclusives (you are lucky
to get a deal on these items)
But what I am aiming for is a year that I do not walk into a TRU or Walmart or
whatever and pay the full retail price. There are enough stores that do blanket
% off LEGO several times a year, that here in North America we can go without
paying the full retail price.
Who knows maybe we can send a signal to LEGO that we want prices a little more
reasonable... doubt it, still the final result would be having a little more
money in your wallet or a few more pieces in your collection.
So far I have bought all my 2001 sets at 20% off and it is not 2001 yet. :-) So
when new sets hit the store wait a few weeks for them to go on sale before you
buy them. I have yet to see LEGO run out of a set permanently between hitting
the shelves and going on sale. Heck, I bought my Falcon at 20% off last summer
just as it was being released.
So there you have it, let's be conscious about saving money.
Jude
If anyone does not want to keep the money they saved, please send it to me and
I will find a friendly store I can spend it at. ;-)

I take advantage of all the BOGO 50% sales, as well as hit the after christmas sales with a vigor as well. It shouldn't be too much of a (...) (24 years ago, 27-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001)

Store sales send no message to Lego, since the discount comes out of the store's profit, they pay Lego the same price whatever they retail it for. And how many of us pay retail anyway? I (...)
