    Amazon is somewhat matching this sale, Amazon.com Sale Buy 1 get one 40% off on select items.

    ^Interesting for Amazon that the sale doesn't work on everything you add to your cart. Add 4 of one set and you only get the 40% for 1 set, same if you add 2 each of multiple sets, only gives 40% on one of the lower priced ones. Gotta make multiple 2 item orders.
  • rocaorocao Administrator Posts: 4,290
    ^ A single discount for the entire cart has been my experience with all the previous BOGOs that Amazon runs. As far as I know, multiple orders are allowed though, because I chatted with customer service to confirm. This was a year or so ago, so it might have changed.

    I've picked up a pair of #75019 AT-TEs so far. They come to about 47% off, and even more if I factor in my Amazon reward points.
  • graphitegraphite USMember Posts: 3,267
    ^ I guess I either never tried to order more than 2 or didn't notice before. I've made 4 orders: 2 black gate, 2 black gate, 2 dol goldur battles, 2 elf armies.

    @dragwit, thank you very much for the link to Amazon sale. I was thinking that Amazon would just lower the prices like they did in the past. Was this advertised or simply popped up in the Special Offers section?
  • underhandednmunderhandednm Member Posts: 3
    Hate when checking brickset costs me money :). Black Gate x2 at less then $36 each is too good to pass up!

    Nice. I grabbed a couple Council of Elronds so I can give one to my sister Arwen and part out the other for a project I am working on.
  • graphitegraphite USMember Posts: 3,267
    ^ Are you giving an Arwen to your sister or is your sisters name actually Arwen?
  • BumblepantsBumblepants DFWMember Posts: 6,770
    ^Both. Our dad is a huge fan of the books. Luckily I am not named Bilbo.

    One "Take me there!" and one "No, me!" for me. Thanks for the direct links!

    Seems strange that you can't actually find this deal from within Amazon. Neither the various deal summary pages nor the individual eligible item pages give you any indication. Its like they want to match competitor's deals, but don't really want people to find the matching offer unless they are coming from the competitor's site or an outside referral. I'm all for secret deals, but I've never noticed Amazon to do that before.
  • GIR3691GIR3691 Member Posts: 671
    I feel dumb. Why can't I get any of these BOGO deals to kick in in my cart? Went all the way to the end of checkout and the discount never appeared.
  • DadsAFOLDadsAFOL USAMember Posts: 617
    all you see is "promotion" and a credit in red over on the right side that adjusts the total on the last step of checkout.

    @DadsAFOL , it shows on the product page with a "Buy One, Get One 40% Off on Select Toys" note at the bottom right of the picture (below)


    @GIR3691, it used to show as a line in the Order Summary as "Promotion: -$16.00", but I do not see it anymore...
  • ColoradoBricksColoradoBricks Denver, CO, USAMember Posts: 1,672
    Better luck with picture...
  • DadsAFOLDadsAFOL USAMember Posts: 617
    YMMV on what Amazon shows... Maybe they just don't want me to find this deal. :)
  • graphitegraphite USMember Posts: 3,267
    ^ I see what @DadsAFOL‌ does now. Was working before. Even tried to go through checkout with two black gates and it doesn't show up at the end anymore.
  • thenosthenos Twin Cities, MNMember Posts: 436
    Not showing up for me either. Anyone?
  • rocaorocao Administrator Posts: 4,290
    My screen displays the same as ColoradoBricks with the BOGO40% blurb, but when I get to the final page before confirming order, the discount no longer shows. I'd suggest contacting customer service and showing them the promotion page:

  • mathewmathew Member Posts: 2,098
    Deal appears to be dead. Oh well. I had two Black Gates sitting in my cart, but no real need for them.
  • Pitfall69Pitfall69 0 miles to Legoboy's houseMember Posts: 11,435
    Yup. Nothing anymore, yet promotion page still appears.
  • BrickarmorBrickarmor USAMember Posts: 1,257
    They probably realized that all those sets were sold out at Target. I was hoping for some Rancor Pits, but no such luck.
  • BanditBandit Member Posts: 890
    Deal is currently back on... (1am MST)

    Yeah. Working now. I just grabbed a couple of items.

    Laketown disappeared but it's back on the list now. A lukewarm deal relative to the other deals mentioned.
  • ZathrasZathras Member Posts: 70
    Amazon scores where Target failed this week. Bought the two hobbit sets I was after for roughly 35% off the pair = happy camper.
  • legogregorslegogregors Member Posts: 402
    Has anyone found any good deals on Creator/City/Friends/Duplo? I looked around a bit and the best deal I saw was two #7965 Falcons working out to be ~$100 per.
  • ColoradoBricksColoradoBricks Denver, CO, USAMember Posts: 1,672
    @legogregors , as far as I know, only Target is having BOGO on Creator. An OK deal right now is #31012, if your store carry it, PM+BOGO+RedCard = $42.55 ea ($69.99 RRP) when you buy 2.
  • legogregorslegogregors Member Posts: 402
    @coloradobricks , thanks I just wanted to make sure I was not missing anything on the amazon deal. That is a good deal on the #31012. I am looking for Fairy Bricks dropoff items and am trying to mix in themes that I don't pay attention to normally.
  • mathewmathew Member Posts: 2,098
    ^ That is if you need two of them. That's the problem with these BOGOs that only apply to certain sets. The best BOGO deal for a brief time yesterday was the Falcon for $115. I had two in my cart, but I just don't see it retiring this year.
  • ColoradoBricksColoradoBricks Denver, CO, USAMember Posts: 1,672
    @legogregors , consider #31010, lot of play value, 29.99 RRP, $18.23 after PM+BOGO+RedCard, (if your local store carries it)
  • legogregorslegogregors Member Posts: 402
    ^^ @mathew , please tell me the Falcon was $115 each yesterday not $115 for two??? That would be an incredible deal and $100.75 today would be extremely disappointing.

    @ColoradoBricks‌ thanks for the tip. I have not gotten the RedCard and Pricematching and Target inventory has not always worked well for me. I will cross my fingers that amazon continues their onslaught of discounts into the Creator line.
  • prevereprevere North of Bellville, East of Heartlake, South of Bricksburg, West of Ninjago City Member Posts: 2,919
    I believe the Falcons were two for $161.

    Blast!!! How was that missed in yesterday's posts?

    Phew, I was able to cancel. $80.50 is an incredible price.
  • rocaorocao Administrator Posts: 4,290
    edited May 2014
    $115 + $69 (40% off) = $184 = $92 each (~35% off). Percentage-wise, it was far from the best deal.

    Also, the set has been $99 at Walmart off and on for the past 1.5 years.
  • mathewmathew Member Posts: 2,098

    They were $93 each after the BOGO. I don't think they went lower than that unless it was for a brief moment.

    I don't think so.

    Yep, mathew got it right... I checked dromedarydromedarydromedary and the price yesterday was $115.26.

    Btw, that's still not a bad price. I'm just offering a reason why the other deals were explicitly called out instead.

  • prevereprevere North of Bellville, East of Heartlake, South of Bricksburg, West of Ninjago City Member Posts: 2,919
    My bad. I do remember when they were $77 on sale like a month after it came out, which I thought was weird at the time.

    And it's just the beginning of summer, I bet $80 for the Falcon isn't out of the question sometime in June or July.
  • rocaorocao Administrator Posts: 4,290
    ^ I think some people nabbed them for 50% off at end of the year Walmart clearances. No sniff of that price in my city, though.

    I wish but unless you strike clearance gold $80 is pretty far fetched for a desire able $140 RRP Star Wars set.
  • prevereprevere North of Bellville, East of Heartlake, South of Bricksburg, West of Ninjago City Member Posts: 2,919
    ^Yeah, you're probably right. Making $93 now seems like a very solid opportunity. That said, another MF will likely be out on the tail end of this one. And that said, it probably won't be as good if it follows the rehashing trend of late.
