LEGO Shop@Home End of Year Clearance Sale

FREE LEGO Ninjago Booster Pack with any LEGO Shop Purchase of $75 or more. Valid 12.26.11 - 1.31.12

It’s the 26th on the east coast, so it’s safe to post this now.

Numeric values shown are dollar discounts off MSRP. I can’t stress that enough.

LEGO Shop@Home sent over a list of all the items that are discounted for their end of year clearance. Numeric values shown are dollar discounts off MSRP. I can’t stress that enough. The list makes no distinction of what was available or unavailable before the sale started so you may see some items that have been long gone appear below. Prices are good online and in-store so you may get luckier at your local LEGO Brand Retail store. For your convenience, I’ve organized the list according to theme and tried linking directly to the product.

I apologize in advance if the sale prices aren’t as exciting as you were hoping. I didn’t make the sale; I just report on them.

San Diego, CA will finally get its first LEGO Brand Retail store at the Fashion Valley mall located at 7007 Friars Road San Diego, California 92108.

LEGO Brand Retail Store Grand Opening at Mission Viejo, CA

The Shops at Mission Viejo will now have a LEGO Brand Retail store to add to their list of … shops. The grand opening event is happening all weekend starting today through Sunday October 9. A master model builder will be on hand and you can help construct an “8-foot tall” SpongeBob Squarepants. Seeing as to how he’s sitting, I’m not entirely sure that it will actually end up being 8 feet tall. They will also be giving away a set of store opening exclusive minifigures and t-shirts. If history is any indication, the minifigures will be given away with a minimum purchase to the first 100 or so customers on Saturday, and the t-shirt the same way on Sunday. The address to The Shops and store hours are:

555 The Shops at Mission Viejo
Mission Viejo, CA 92691
(949) 347-6867

Store Hours:
Monday – Friday: 10:00 am – 9:00 pm
Saturday: 10:00 am – 7:00 pm
Sunday: 11:00 am – 6:00 pm

10% off coupon: I received the latest Shop@Home catalog in the mail today and on the back of the catalog was a 10% off coupon good at LEGO Brand Retail stores. 10% isn’t much, better than nothing, and it’s good to see coupons like this for the stores.

Build Buzz At Northbrook, Yoda At Costa Mesa

The Northbrook, IL LEGO Store is having a grand re-opening this weekend February 18 through February 20. The Northbrook store is re-opening to a new location in Northbrook Court.

Check out LEGO.com for more information or call the Northbrook store directly at (847) 291-9520.

As if southern California didn’t have enough LEGO Stores (which we don’t honestly, I mean what does it take to get a store in Los Angeles, like on the west side, or, even better, like in the south bay area?), LEGO is opening up a store in Costa Mesa and will be having their Grand Opening event on March 11 through March 13. As part of the celebration, there will be a Master Builder Event to help build a Yoda model. It’s bit far on the calendar but seeing as to how I’ll probably be attending that event, I’ll post a reminder about it the closer we get to the day.
