1980-Something-Space-Guy Posted September 27, 2016 I don't understand why Target can't have consistent pricing online vs. in store all the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vorkosigan Posted September 27, 2016 Some people will walk in and pay full price because its there in front of them. The internet is more competitive. Its good at least that you can do price matching or site to store. I want to pick up some more of the summer sets but I'm hoping for even better deals, like on UK amazon.

In stores everything is regular price but online many of the sets are marked down 20% and they are listed as 'regular' prices. First wave some of the sets are marked down even more than that. If you go in the store they will price match their online prices so you don't have to wait for shipping. Also last week Target had 20% off the 20% off price. The $20 sets became $12.xx.

Whatajoke Posted September 27, 2016 Anyone know if the Moltor in the Battle of the books is the same as the one from the set? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazing Bricks Posted September 27, 2016 (edited) Toysrus Canada is having a make and take event for bricktober and it's a nexo Knights monster. It makes for a neat build. http://toysnbricks.com/2016-lego-bricktober-building-events-details-toysrus-canada/ Edited September 27, 2016 by amazingbricks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toys'r'Us can be even worse, with their website not even syncing up with their stores' inventories. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are really bad. One time I called a TRU and they said they had a set in stock. When I got there, it wasn't anywhere to be seen. I asked, and they looked it up, turns out it was "on the floor", but that they should be out already. So the guy went to the back, and then decided that no, he wasn't going to put them out...

OC_Architect Posted September 27, 2016 Looks like no Nexo free build in October for the US. Don't know what that build is for Canada though. It's supposed to be Nexo but bleah!!! that is what is good about Target. They have stuff marked down from their original price and then you get to take another discount on that when they are having a sale. I figure that is why they never have Jestros Lair on the shelves as their list price is 20% off retail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickJagger Posted September 30, 2016 New Nexo build, unfortunately it's only at TRU. The age limit is also a problem, does anyone know if they actually enforce that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RetroInferno Posted September 30, 2016 Last Bricktober they gave some mini modular builds, and I wasn't aware there was an age limit for the bricktober promo stuff, as adults are the one making the purchase. I think they are reffering to the in store events like mini fig swaps, I doubt they want resellers ripping off kids with rubish mini figs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is that Canada or US? When I checked the US TRU they had different weekly builds then Canada - no Nexo's. Or maybe I looked in the wrong place or was looking at the wrong thing. As far as enforcement goes I think it varies by store. I remember when we had a TRU near us they were very strict on the age limit. My son is a pretty big boy so we would tell them he was 6 (same for the Lego store minibuilds). Since they have closed down we have went to other area TRU and they pretty much let everyone in. I know just2good has mentioned that if you go in the stores after the event and just ask they will sometimes give you the packet of parts if they still have them around. I suppose depending upon crowd you could probably ask close to the end time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vorkosigan Posted October 2, 2016 I used BAP to get the parts to make a Burnzie without buying the tower carrier, and added some upgrades. I think the blackened lava bits look more like armor than the pure orange, and I replaced the pointless disc launcher with a hand and shield. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orange Leader Posted October 2, 2016 The black molten lava does indeed look amazing! I like the shield too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NotMegalodon Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) Looks sharp! Although i have the tower carrier, I'll be sure to check out these parts for my next BAP order. Hmm, a lot cheaper on Bricklink!! Edited October 2, 2016 by NotMegalodon bricklink Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vorkosigan Posted October 2, 2016 Thanks for the compliments! The lava is indeed much cheaper on bricklink but I already had those and instead had to buy the head, torso, gray bananas etc. The head is not even listed on bricklink as far as I can see (and there is no inventory for the tower carrier).

BrickFit26 Posted October 3, 2016 That Burnzie is awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OC_Architect Posted October 6, 2016 Really like that supped up shield that Burnzie is holding. Really makes it seem like he means business. On another note has anyone been seeing the Jestro's Volcano Lair out there? Seems like wherever I go it is not stocked on the shelves. Even went to the Lego Store last night for the monthly build and they didn't have any on the shelves, although they had one behind the counter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This month's free build looks pretty cool and something that might live in the Nexo world but next months looks pretty bad I think as well. Same goes for the free build at Canada TRU but hey, free parts!!! Edited October 10, 2016 by OC_Architect Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
