Amazon.com is offering the Xbox 360 Holiday Bundle
with LEGO Batman and Pure and a free $50 Amazon gift card. Hit the link, add both items to your cart, and a $50 discount will be applied at checkout. This offer is valid until 11:59pm PST December 18 and both items must be sold and shipped by Amazon.com.
There are two Toys’R'Us in-store only deals worth mentioning:
Just a quickie note to let you all know of some sales going on at Amazon.com:
is now $46.49 down from $59.99. is $23.47 down from $29.99. is $45.74, down from $59.99. listed at $44.99, down from $89.99. listed for $77.49, down from $99.99. is listed at $484.97, down from $499.99. Though not much of a discount, some is better than none, right? They only had 1 left in stock as of this writing.All items qualify for free Super Saver Shipping and based on Amazon’s Holiday Shipping Schedule, you have until the 17th to order with Super Saver Shipping to get things in time for Christmas delivery. Odd thing though, is that 8017 requires Standard Shipping for Christmas Delivery.
Amazon.com is featuring LEGO Star Wars 10186 General Grievous for $44.99, down from $89.99. The set ships for free with Super Saver Shipping.
Thanks to SWLegoFanatic for the tip.
Target.com lists 10198 Tantive IV as being in stock. The set qualifies for free shipping and if you applied a 10% off coupon to your cart previously, it should still work. If you haven’t, the code is A2VBT487. The 10% off will cover tax and then some. Hit the button below and do a search for LEGO Tantive IV to see the product:
Amazon.com is featuring another LEGO deal in their Gold Box Lightning Deals for 6:00pm PST today Friday December 11. The description reads as follows: “Help your child build a new house out of LEGO for a great price. This classic set will be a family favorite!” Sounds like another Creator house to me. Lightning deals tend to sell out within the first 5 minutes, so set your alarms and have your mouse clicking fingers at the ready.
Thanks to Tohst for the heads up.
Pepa Quin found the entire 2010 LEGO Star Wars and LEGO Toy Story line up at his local Toys’R'Us, and it’s not looking good:
PepaBroke: Freeco Speeder – $29.99
PepaBroke: for 177 pieces
PepaBroke: TIE Defender – $54.99
PepaBroke: for 308 pieces
PepaBroke: ARC-170 – $64.99
PepaBroke: for less then 400 pieces
PepaBroke: what a ****ing rip off
PepaBroke: (I may not have remembered the piece count exactly)
PepaBroke: got the two battle packs ($12.99) and the tri-droid fighter ($29.99)
PepaBroke: they had RC ($21.99), army men (12.99) Buzz Statue ($25.99) and Woody’s Roundup ($54.99)
Mind you these are TRU prices, which tend to be higher than actual MSRP. Take for instance the TIE Defender set. TRU Price: $54.99, actual MSRP: I would guess to be $49.99. Still, with the markup in mind, one has to wonder how much more fleecing the fan base can take. With what we had to endure from the outrageously, and I mean OUTRAGEOUSLY, and you know I’m being deadly serious when I use caps, overpriced MINIFIG packs that were this year’s San Diego Comic Con exclusives, I guess LFL and TLG are expecting everyone to just bend over for next year’s assortment.
This is getting ridiculous.
My only hope is that the LEGO Toy Story release is a lot closer to something called reasonable. When Woody’s Roundup was exposed at TRU.com for $49.99, it later rose to $54.99, leading one to believe that the first price tag was actual MSRP. And for just over 500 pieces, 3 minifigs and Bullseye, it really hit the sweet spot, something the LEGO Star Wars line has been lacking for a long time. As soon as more real data becomes available, it would be interesting to see which would be the better value for the money. But I’m placing my bets on Toy Story.
Revealed by ToysRUs.com no less. MSRP appears to be $59.99. You can click through the image to the flickr page, but if you want to save a few clicks and view the hi-res image (2000×1034) directly, hit this link instead.
Begone blurry, artifacty images!
Almost forgot, images for LEGO Ben 10 are also on ToysRUs.com, but I didn’t bother with the photo stitching cause let’s be honest here, I’m pretty ho hum about this line and didn’t feel like it was worth the effort. You can click through to see them in all their glory.
Head over to www.aol.com and take a look at the top right hand corner. You should see an ad for Target where, if you click through, you’ll get 50% off select toys at Target.com. Highlights of this sale include:
There seems to be a quantity limit on the items and the promotion won’t stack with the 10% off coupon. But you get free shipping. Items are selling out fast, like Endor, Echo Base, and Vader’s TIE. Good luck!
Thanks to l44l44 for the heads up.
FBTB will be in attendance of the 2010 Toy Fair and will report back with images and possibly video like we do every year. I’ve already set up the Toy Fair 2010 page if you care to add another bookmark.
