    As I got dragged into Home Sense (with locations across Canada), I was pleasantly surprised to find a small selection of LEGO in their kids' section; some of which has recently gone on clearance. 

    I just picked up a City of Atlantis set for $44 on sale. Great pieces to go with the roman minifig from series 6.

    Another set to note on "double clearance" was 7326 Rise of the Sphinx (which I believe is regularly 64.99) on sale for around 35.

    I found a new appreciation for Home Sense that day!

HomeSense is owned by the same company as Winners, so I wouldn't be surprised if Winners transfers leftover stock to HomeSense. Lucky for me, there is both a winners and a HomeSense in the same mall. Will definitely check this out tonight.

I got the King's Carriage Ambush for 27 at Winners today. Looks like a chain-wide clearance on the remaining LEGO Christmas stock.

A friend of mine found this deal about a month ago up in Saskatoon. I've been waiting for it to go down to that price here in Regina. Must check it tomorrow...

"picked up a City of Atlantis set for $44 on sale." $44!? That would be an awesome deal in the USA!

I sometimes see LEGO at HS when I go there. Not a very great selection, though.

Home sense (and Winners) are actually owned by TJX (the parent company of Marshalls and TJ Maxx) so hopefully we'll see those sets at those stores in the US. I'd love to grab some City of Altantis's for cheap...

I work at a winners/home sense store in eastern Canada. Those sets we're marked down to 23 at mine and still like 6 left. : D

I picked up the City of Atlantis last night as well... for $6.98...!!!

Man, do I love when sets are salvaged and taken out of the inventory at Target and they don't ring up in the system...!!!

I pretty much get to tell them whatever I will pay...

In the last week:

PQ Pyramid - $16.04
Portal to Atlantis - $16.03
City of Atlantis - $6.98
SW Advent Calendar - $4.98

Checked our local Winners/Homesense. It's still listed at $59.99. I suppose the locations are seperate enough that on-sale at one doesn't always mean on-sale at all. A very disappointing visit. I have been waiting for it to go on sale for more than a month! Hopefully things will change soon...

I do find that very frustrating when some chains vary in prices from location to location but will always offer price matches on other competitors.

As mlpicco stated her price out east is much cheaper then what I even paid.

Hit and miss I guess.

Sorry to hear about the disappointment.

Fair enough. I was only waiting for it since a friend of mine found it for that price in Saskatoon a month ago. I figured it would only be a matter of time for it to drop down here.

Only four boxes left at my local W/H, so I might not wait too long...

Checked in Edmonton and Sherwood Park today and found the 59.99 price. Ive already picked up 2 of these from Winners in Edmonton for 44$ but another couple hundred column pieces would be nice. Ill wait..

.....Home Sense?

I was in the Home Sense in Sherwood park today and saw 3 of the City of Atlantis sets for $32 Picked one up. They also had 3-4 more sets for the $59.99 price. The cheep ones were on a clearance table near the tills at the front of the store.
