angelraesmom Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 Does anyone remember if last year Toys R Us (i think) ran a buy one get one free or some other huge lego sale last year? The thought is nagging at me. My DS wants the Lego Castle and some other sets and I really need to hold out for some great deals...
tazolover Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 I remember deals, but not any specifics. Sorry. I too am VERY interested this year since DS wants a Batman Lego set.
angelraesmom Posted November 6, 2008 Author Posted November 6, 2008 You know Taz, this summer I found a nice set of Batman Legos at my local Tuesday Mornings. It was super cheap and I could kick myself for not going on and getting it. May be worth checking out?

Or at least a sign saying they were coming! Thanks again!
Ferg1221 Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 They usually have a buy one get one half off sale before BF.
leah_steven Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 I am hoping to find some good deals on them too!!! It is the 50th (i think) anniv. for leggo so they should have some really good deals this year, like kinex had last year for there anniv.
mildmom Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 Last year KMart had a sale on Legos; I can't recall if it was Buy one get one 1/2 off or what; I just recall it made it a better deal than I could find anywhere else AND they had some things in stock. It was probably in December. My kids love legos too.
tommyboa Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Last year's Kmart BF was B2G1 FREE. Kind of a bummer, only 30% off each, or even less if you can't find them all at the same price.
his_lil_gemini Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 if your kids get the lego mag in the mail there is a coupon for 5.00 off $35 on the back page for lego store.
cberrytech Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Toys R Us had a Buy 2 Get 1 Free Sale on Legos several weeks ago. I am going to guess it has been less than 2 months.
tazolover Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 For those interested in the Batman Lego sets, I found 2 different sets at Sams Club OL. One set was a bundle with 2 sets (a Robin set and a set that included Mr. Freeze) for around $24 and then another Lego set that was Harley Quinn and her hammer truck for around $24. In stores (if they are in stock) I have seen the Harley Quinn truck anywhere from $29.99 to $39.99 and the Robin set from $19.99 to $24.99. The set with Mr Freeze has been around $9.99 everywhere, but it is never in stock. Hope this helps!
peppysfireball Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 Shopko has frequent by1 get one half off and also Kmart, but they don't have a big selection. My son wants bionicle axalara. Last spring I bought several big sets at Walmart and Shopko real cheap. I paid 15 for a 70 dollar set and 6 for 2 20.00 sets. I give them to my son and grandson for extra presents. I'm going to go ahead and order the bionicle set at Walmart.com and if it is cheaper anywhere else . I'll return it and repurchase it.
kren Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 OK, I'm a complete Lego neophyte and I'm hyperventilating over the price of the sets mentioned in this thread. They're not $15 or $30 anymore -- the Robin set is $95 at Amazon, and it's the CHEAPEST one!! They go up to $350!!! Is this normal? Because my kid is now nuts over Lego Batman, and I can't afford these prices! I'm really hoping this is, like, the 2008 collection that now is worth money as a collectible, but that they'll again have $30 sets during this year's 2009 collection. Please tell me this will happen!!!

kren Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 That's more like the price range I had in mind -- but there are no Lego Batman sets available for anywhere near that price. Thanks, though!
peppysfireball Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 My son's are 12 years apart. 12 and 24. In my experience as both of them were Lego fnatics, the prices are about the same with a little inflation. I used to pay about 70 for a big castle set for my 24 year old. THis year , my son 12's big set cost me 70 at Walmart.com. It was bionicle Axalara. He loves the bionicles much more than the regular sets. I got mine about 10.00 less than in store price. I also buy from Shopko when they are b1g1. I buy them after xmas on clearance and put them up. I got my grandson an dmy son both 29.99 sets for bdays that only cost me 8.00. you just have to look for the bargains.
steph3306 Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 I don't know how good of a deal it is, I don't pay attention to these but remembered this thread and Amazon just sent an eamil saying they where having up to 40% off on some legos.HTH
chrisjuvers Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 TRu has a sale this week buy $30 worth of legos get a "bucket full of legos" free.
MelissaS Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 Walmart has a huge Lego Bionicle, reg $80 for $30 on their clearance aisle. I have seen it at several different Walmart Stores with all the leftover clearanced Christmas toys.
kren Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 yes, i've seen these prices -- but not for lego batman. that stuff is *crazy* prices. and peppysfireball -- $70 for a big castle would be absolutely fine -- but I''m talking about a couple of little boats about 5 inches long, and a couple of figurines maybe an inch tall -- $95. The big sets are $300 and up !! will check the other recommendations; thanks!
CTShopper037 Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 I, too have been on the search for reasonably priced LEGO Batman sets, but they are no longer being sold by LEGO since the licensing contract ended and you can pretty much only get them on Ebay or from other private sellers on the internet hence the outrageous prices. My 4 year old son is obsessed with LEGO Batman because of the video game. Good Luck! I would stock up on LEGO Indiana Jones and Star Wars as those go on Clearance (if they go on clearance), because as soon as those contracts end, whoever gets their hands on those will be jacking up the prices when they are no longer available at the stores. I know the large LEGO Indiana Jones Kingdom of the Crystal Skull set was down to $30 at select Wal-marts, while others had it for $83. I was able to pick up the Bionicle Axalara T9 for $25. For a while, LEGO had the Twilight set for only $50, but recently went back up to $99. I'm kicking myself for not picking one up!
kren Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 OH, thank you so much, CTShopper! At least now I understand the reason for the prices. I was completely freaked out, thinking that "character" Legos routinely cost this much. So in effect, they're now collectibles, not just toys anymore. Got it!
Priysha Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Bump Any good deals on legos going on now ? My older son got a lego table and now we need to buy some sets. He is 5, and my younger one is 2. Any suggestions for what I should get them ?
tommyboa Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 Some Lego should hit the clearence shelf this summer, late July I think.
