LEGO #31035 Beach Hut is on sale for 21.85 USD at this moment. ugh, as much as I hate to keep beating the horse, it is 27% off.

Pitfall69

What are the odds that someone here works for Amazon? I'm sure all the sales are automated, but there has to be some human input as well right?

brickupdate

Pitfall69  Has anyone registered the Brickset username @JeffBezos ? 

madforLEGO

The other thing I have seen re-enforced is that if the item is on any kind of decent sale the limit is 2.
I wanted to get three Beach Huts, but Amazon would only let me choose two, even after they were in the cart it would reset the quantity back to '2', so it appears that Amazon is also trying to stop profiteering on their sales.

Ugh. ! I missed it. It is only at 12%.

A few days ago the Mos Eisley Cantina was $55. I picked up 2 as I've been waiting to get that set on sale for a few months.

The B-wing is still $39.99 which is a good deal at 20% off.

[Again, it's kinda talked about before, but maybe just a reminder for some...]

Since yoyo.com is sort of part of Amazon, I thought I'd go ahead and talk about it here.

The current 15% 2+ sale is just ok, but there may be something there someone may want.  I few items are below RRP, so some ends up a little better than 15%.  If you have Amex Offers for soap.com, the $10 credit for $50+ will expire on 3/31.  

For the best bang for the buck, you'd want to order about $59-60 in the 15% off items, thus your subtotal will be around $50 and qualifies for free shipping.  At $60 + 15% off + $10 credit, it's about 30% off.

yoy.com has a thread I thought, but it does not hurt :-)

I liked yoyo.com before they started the RRP shell game or charging more as 'rrp' for some sets then discounting them.
What you need to watch for is the 20% off deals that occasionally pop up, especially when they discount some sets 5-10% before the sale price is applied.

Was not much ballyhoo about it, and I just realized it myself, but apparently the flex track is now extinct huh?

I don't think the last Cargo train ever hit 50%, so I doubt this one will.

Meaning that it's not currently in any of the main train sets.

Bumblepants

The instruction booklets for #60052 include the flex track in the suggested track configurations in the back. It just tells you to buy it separately.

It is actually 20% off from actual msrp...same as target.
amazon has inflated msrp on these for some reason.

Ahh woops. Didn't see that Amazon had pulled a TRU :)

Yeah forgot to post that actually. I noticed it as my friend is looking for one that is cheaper. I just tend to stay away from most SW LEGO at this point.

For what it is worth, the #10699 Sand tan and #10700 bright green baseplates are on sale at amazon for 28% off : 7.19 USD

BuriedinBricks

@madforLEGO I'm pretty sure RRP on those is 7.99, so the discount is really only about 10%. Amazon has them marked up by $2.

It's minor but the Lonely Mountain Hobbit set is on sale for 14% off at $111.69. Not as good as the in store sale at Lego but it's the first time I've seen it's price discounted online.

Pitfall69

^Technically, it would be the same price as in Lego stores, seeing my sales tax is 6%. My Lego store is 50 mins away, so any VIP points earned would be nullified by the gas it would cost to go to and from.

Pitfall69

Update: Only 3% off now. I still think it is overpriced. If it goes to 20%, I might bite :)

It's really not any more overpriced than Jabba's Palace.  It's ten bucks more but you get roughly 100 more pieces and IMO a much, much nicer maxifig in Smaug.  Smaug is actually fun to pose and play with.  Jabba is just an ugly lump of plastic.  The issue is that The Lonely Mountain was never discounted until recently.  Jabba's Palace on the other hand was heavily discounted.

#70816 Bennys Spaceship is 81.44 (19%) off. Not as good as the Target and Walmart clearance prices I know, but not bad for someone still looking for one.

Pitfall69

@mathew , I agree and that is why I got all my Jabba's Palaces for at least 40% off. I did a BOGO at TRU and got a couple for even less. It was way back when TRU forgot to raise their price before the sale. About an hour after I bought mine, they marked up JP 15% as well as most of the Star Wars during the BOGO.

Pirate ship for $90
AT-AT for $93
wookie gunship for $48

If you don't mind dealing with amazon.co.UK, the new space port (#60080) is $95.68 shipped to the US. About $25 off the RRP in the States.

Ronyar

That isn't bad really for a new set release. If you really want it now, seems much more reasonable.  I am still hoping to find it a bit cheaper, but if I don't I'll just skip buying it all together.  Thanks for the heads up!

As a UK resident I was having a nosy at Amazon.com I noticed Death Star is $399.99 which looks quite good for you guys as it's sold out at Lego? Showing 8 in stock right now.

Well, it is 'sold out' at LEGO [email protected] US right now, BUT the actual page for the DS says that more are being made.

Speaking of Death Star, did anyone catch Ed Sheeran building it in his video for "Photograph"?



He also including some other video clips of him building Lego sets.

matticus_bricks

^It's kind of surreal to see Ed Sheeran had at least one of the same Lego sets that I also had as a child. It's like a shared experience I never knew he and I had before.
