Special thanks to yakkotank for sleuthiness and truthiness!
Target is offering even more LEGO deals, this time on the City theme. There’s a BOGO 50% off and a deal that gets you $7 off when you spend $70 which puts you well within the free shipping range and folks seem to be getting some nice deals as a result. The BOGO ends on December 10th, so click the link and take a look-see.
Thanks to Qzak & ufjason for sharing!
Target.com has a coupon code for 10% off that is good today only: C8MT7GZJ. The discount will stack with temporary mark downs on items, such as 10188 Death Star. It’s priced at $379, and with the 10% off code it drops down to $341.10. You also get free shipping so the only additional cost would be tax. They have some other sets temporarily marked down as well; check out their full LEGO catalog. Scratch that last statement; it only seems to work on certain items.
Target.com is having a sale on some items, up to 49% off. Prices may be good in store as well but YMMV. Partial list is below, you can view a full list here.
Update 11/21: Fred Meyer and Walgreens have been added.
Here’s our annual report on Black Friday ads mentioning LEGO. The deals are pretty lackluster compared to previous years no doubt due to LEGO’s rising popularity. Still, if you’re out and about and manage to find yourself at any of the retailers below, you might be able to score something. Some deals are good only for a few hours, some all day or all weekend. I’ve made a note of wh I’ve also listed the store hours where available. Most of the deals are for in store only. Cyber Monday should bring a few more deals around. We’ll be updating this post as more info trickles in. All information should be solidifed by Wednesday night so check back often. If you have sales news to share, hit us up through our contact page.
Store hours vary by location depending lease agreements. Deal is good all day and in-store only.
The $30 pink, blue, and duplo buckets are half off, at $14.99. (Thanks to Kyle)
Blue Friday deals good from 5am through 11am.
The online VIP Brick Friday sale happened this past Saturday, but more deals will be forthcoming.
Black Friday sales start at 12:00am Friday.
Toys’R'Us opens on 9:00pm on Thanksgiving Day. Items marked with a * are doorbuster deals, meaning they’re only good from 9pm Thursday through 1pm Friday. I hesitate listing any prices since there is a good chance that TRU will raise their base prices on items. Buyer Beware of actual MSRP when shopping for these LEGO deals.
Also, they are advertising that their Black Friday deals has already started. You might be able to score some deals online.
All $9.99 toys are BOGO free. Their LEGO selection isn’t the greatest, but they do carry Hero Factory. (Thanks to two_sons_squadron)
Walmart opens on 10:00pm EST on Thanksgiving Day.
Update: I may have spoken too soon about the minimum amount required. It seems that you still need to put $25 dollars down on the gift card to trigger the MAIL delivery option. Any smaller amount and your only options are e-mail or mobile delivery. At least one person was able to get the smaller amount and mail delivery, so YMMV. Good luck!
Did you miss out on buying the 2011 LEGO Target Giftcard set in store? Well they are now available online and unlike last year where you had to put a minimum of $25 on the card, you can put down as low as $5. Buy a bunch, and save them for the holiday clearances. The giftcard set will let you build either Bullseye the Target mascot, a snowman, or a polar bear.
And in case you’re wondering, the actual gift card part of the product is on the plastic case itself. There’s no separate card physical card.
Remember this Target gift card from last year?
There are reports coming in that there is a new set for this year. It has 49 pieces and can be built into either Bullseye the Target dog, a polar bear, or a snowman. Minimum money to put down for the gift card is $5.00 but you can cycle that to purchase additional cards. I’m on my way out right now to try and find one. If you have a picture, share it with us in the thread or use the contact us form.
Update: SH1 from the forums pointed out that the weekly ad has an image:
Very nice. Of course, now everyone’s going to HAVE to get two, three if they didn’t get last year’s.
Update: I added the Toys’R'Us retailer exclusive below.
Cars 2 will be released in less than a week on Tuesday November 1. And since its the norm lately to offer highly anticipated releases in multiple formats, I thought I’d make a post on the different options available to you.
There isn’t much to this review so I won’t bother with the more link.
30130 MINI Black Pearl is a Target-exclusive in the US and is only available pre-packaged with Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides 3D Blu-ray Limited Edition 5-disc set. In the UK, they were given away earlier this year as a Sun newspaper promotion. Free is about the right price for this set. By itself, it’s a terrible representation of the iconic pirate ship. Since I am not a big Pirates fan nor do I have a 3D television, the only reason I bought it was to do this review and hopefully save a few of you readers out there from making a terrible purchase.
What I liked: Nothing. Since technically it’s ‘free’, it’s a neat little bonus to get some extra LEGO bits
What I didn’t: It’s a terrible model. It’s obvious just by looking at the sails how inaccurate the model is. Adding a few more plates and clips and a longer bar for the center could have easily remedied the inadequate number of sails. The MINI model also has an inverted brown cone which I believe is supposed to represent a Crow’s Nest which the Black Pearl doesn’t even have. A 1×1 clip plate could have replaced it and represent the flag. And the bow of the ship? Hideous. I mean, who the heck is designing this thing and what are they basing it off of?
Verdict: Save your $30 bucks and put it towards the System scale 4184 The Black Pearl
Target.com is offering the exclusive LEGO Star Wars set 7877 Naboo Starfighter at a discounted price of $39.99, down from $49.99 netting you a savings of 20% off MSRP. Target will charge tax where applicable, but they are offering free shipping on this item with no minimum order. The offer is also good in-store if you’re out and about. The weekly ad also shows 7958 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar for MSRP: $39.99.
