I don’t know if you’ve noticed any crazy LEGO sale prices lately, but they’ve been all over the place lately. I’ve completely exhausted my LEGO budget for the near future. 🙁
Usually, the lowest LEGO sale prices I find are at Target’s bi-annual clearance events. Recently, I’ve scored huge savings at Target, Walmart, Meijer, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble. Yes, the bookstore. 🙂
Right now, Target has a 20% off sale on several LEGO themes, including Star Wars. This 20% discount is being applied on TOP of some already lowered prices. The LEGO TIE Fighter 9492 that was $54.99 is going for $35.20.
Wlamart has had some crazy pricing going on for months now. I was able to pick up the large Lord of the Rings Helm’s Deep set for under $90. I scored the Avengers Quinjet for less than $50. What’s really crazy about that one is they are again stocking this set for full price ($69.99). You never see current, licensed LEGO on sale for 30% off. In the past week, they’d also been blowing out the Death Star for as little as $289. They were even dumping the modular town sets for +30% off. Crazy I tell you!
At Meijer, I just recently picked up the Sith Nightspeeder for $12.50. Not a great set by any means, but the price per piece was just too low to pass up. A few weeks ago, they were blowing out the $49.99 Triceratops Dino set for $17. I just don’t get it.
Have you been lucky enough to take advantage of any of these recent sales? What did you score?
I am an Adult Fan of LEGO (AFOL) and an active member of the Michigan LEGO User Group (MichLUG). I have loved LEGO for as long as I can remember. I am currently working on the following models:
– UCS Millenium Falcon
– Emmett’s Apartment Building
– Gringott’s Bank
not seen many bargains around here either, other than a lego creator set in Argos (UK) which was more than half price off…typically can’t get hold of it though in any of the stores near me and not available for delivery either
Sadly, there aren’t prices like that in Europe right now… 😉
I’m sorry. 🙁 I did hear the Mines of Moria was 30% off at amazon.uk. Maybe there German site will discount it at some point.
I take comfort from the fact that I got some minifigs a little bit cheaper 😉
Which minifigs did you get?
I just noticed today that Target has a 20% off sale when I checked their ad online. I haven’t bought anything on sale lately, except for a Star Wars set I bought for a birthday party this weekend. I bought it from the Lego store thinking I got a good deal because of the double VIP points this month….but that is nothing more than 10% off. I haven’t seen sales at Walmart. Did you find those good deals at walmart.com or was it at an actual store?
Hmmmmm… Totally forgot about the double VIP points this month. I still need to order the Winter Village set.
I was able to get the crazy Walmart pricing in store. Their online sales were great as well though. The Death Star keeps popping up there for $336 with $.97 shipping.
