I won't give TRU the business until after the holidays, their price points are predatory. The TRU truck is the only set you should go after with them since TLC does not carry. Target is a toss up on how long they keep inventory. The Cad Bane speeder will be hard to get but the City House and Fire Truck will be good deals after the holidays me thinks. In my experience with Walmart, you have to get the Star Wars stuff, Walmart does not usually deep discount like Target seasonally so I would get those first, those will not last thru December. Thanks for the list!

Thanks for the list Shima. Very handy.

Just for anyone in the New York area. Target in Elmhurst Queens has really jacked up their Lego prices.
Just about every $49.99 range set is going for $57.99. Hogwarts Castle is $157.99...outrageous and Hogswart Train is $97.99. Just unbelievable mark ups! With a LEGO Store only 3 blocks away I thought they'd be competative.
Maybe it's a mark up to knock them down for the holidays?
Almost every set is marked up with the occassional exceptions.
Target's website has them all at their normal retail prices, but steer clear of the Elmurst Target. I'm usually shopping their every week or so, so if I see any mark 'downs' I'll let New York shoppers know.

In the UK, the city house is a smyths toy super store exclusive, helicopter and limousine is a tescos exclusive and the toys"R"us city truck is a toys"R"us exclusive.

What i found rather odd though was the midi scale Falcon, Tesco advertised it as a Tesco exclusive, even though every other Lego-carrying store had it too. :o/

Smyths are selling the City House in dublin, if any of you Irish fans are interested.

@legomatt....I know what you mean. Even here in the New York you'll see toys that are exclusive at one store, on the shelf in another. It's not a hard, fast rule on some items.

I almost never buy Lego from any of those stores unless they have a good discount. The Lego VIP program and monthly promotions are enough for me to drive to the nearest Lego store.

I would like to mention that if you have a Costco nearby you might be able to pick up the ARC-170 or Palpatine's shuttle for 20% off (in the Christmas section).

Posted by AZFIREWOLF in United States, 28 Oct 2010 13:22

Momentaneously- is the 20% off the already discounted price?

Posted by ShatteredGnome in United States, 28 Oct 2010 17:21

@AZFIREWOLF: I think he meant 20% off the RRP price, as costco's price is discounted from the normal price, but I don't think it's going to get marked down any more than it is. I remember last year costco had The Battle of Endor for 79.99, I was happy to see them stocking SW again this year!

I made a handy brick list too, also some architecture sets are sold through barnes and noble making them store exclusives too.

helicopter and limousine is sold in TRU

The consumer-hostile, anti-freemarket concept of "exclusives" has really got to stop. This is getting out of hand.

Circular arrived today in the mail. * City 8404: Public Transport Station will be on sale starting Sunday for $79.99 at TRU-a savings of $20. Same circular also has a coupon for a $10 gift card with a $75 purchase.

Posted by cara in United States, 29 Oct 2010 02:11

My TRU circular had a 15% off any one toy card.

Lego Store Queens Center Mall has the former 'exclusive' Brick Apple that was only available at the Rockefeller Store NYC as of last Sunday. No longer a Rockefeller Exclusive. Maybe they'll get the I 'brick' NY duplo's and shirts too.
