  1. all my DS5 wants is legos, and by the price i am concerned, however I dont know how picky your sons are, but TRU has another brand called "best lock" and me and hubby opened a box right in the store after looking at a 1000 piece set with figurines for 29 or 39.00. the box says compatable with legos b/c they ARE legos!!! Just a different brand. Anyhow look them up on TRU.com and you may be pleasantly surprised as I was! Looks like the (wo)man in red is making dreams come true this year! LOL! :yup:

    They may be compatable with Lego, but the quality of the plastic is not. Lego is made of ABS plastic, much stronger stuff than Mega Block, Best Lock, etc., that use the type like plastic model kits.

  2. I TOTALLY agree about the atmosphere being different in Walmart. I can't explain exactly why I don't like even going in Walmart. Shopping at Target is a WAY more relaxing experience.

    If no one can say it, I'll say it for you: Walmart looks like a warehouse with its high open ceiling and itmes on the floor and customers who look like they just woke up ( messy hair, missing teeth, dirty old clothes) and Target customers just got back from a nice dinner out ( clean nice clothes, hair at least combed and nice make-up. The Boss once said she can go to both places on the same day and have two totaly different moods.

  3. Was reading this thread just because we ( The Boss and I) miss shopping at "Thrifty Acears" so much. Hometown is Brighton, MI and used to live in Ann Arbor too. Wish they would just strech out a little more out west, the closest one is like 3 hours away.:(

     

    Sorry, I can't find a spell check here, is there one?

  4. How many people hide their trips to Target from the other half? I feel like I have to and we aren't even married yet!

    Count me in, :yup:" Don't you think the kids have enough toys ?!?!?!?" Can't we get rid of some of this stuff " (yeah, like the cheap junk the grand parents get them, even after they've asked what the kid's would like as gifts). She grew up poor, while was middle class and I love the "Hunt" i.e. models, action figures,trading cards, now its Lego for me and the boys.

  5. I lucked up at Target just now!!!!!! I was looking at all of the Legos and I saw some brown boxes hidden behind some blue boxes on the upper shelf. I started looking and found 2 of the Lego Exo-Force Golden Towners that someone had hidden. They are regular price 49.99, there was a sticker on them that said 12.48. I scanned one and it came up item not found.

     

    I went to check out, prepared to beg, if needed! The cashier didn't see the red sticker and asked if I knew the price. I showed her the 12.48 sticker and thats what I paid for each of them!!!!!! I'm so happy!!!!!

     

    This is what I got.
