I actually didn't plan to get up so early to shop, or shop at all. But my toddler wouldn't sleep so I actually got in an order (that is, I'm expecting things to be sold out or site crash). Well, I guess there is a silver lining for crying screaming toddler keeping you up all night...

Batcave and Family House gone.

Brickarmor

Sleep is wrong. $42 for the Batcave was too much like a dream anyway.

pumperx

And of course I missed it... sigh~

Yeah, I bet this didn't last long. I hope whoever wanted them got them and they don't end up being hawked for a high price later on.

On Saturday, from 6 AM until noon you can get a gift card up to $300.00 for 10% off. Add this to Redcard 5% on some clearance items and you could have a real good deal down the road.

Wishful thinking, most Batcaves will likely be up on eBay for retail or slightly over soon. Would have likely to get a batcave or Family house spare for that price but oh well.

I'm not exactly sure what you are proposing, but you don't get Redcard 5% discount on gift cards, and if you purchase things later with a gift card, you won't be using your Redcard so no 5% off :P

So judging by the times of these posts, Batcave and Family sold out between 4:36 and 5:46 AM? Jeez, people are rabid this time of year.

I think he is talking about buying things online with the gift card and then using the red card for the remainder of the purchase amount. I have heard that the 5% red card discount then applies to the full order even though the gift card is used to pay for some of it.

Batcave $41.99 Amazon price match going now

jedivalkyrie

Amazon matched all four sets, here's the Batcave: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005VPRF8O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.

pumperx

Thanks a lot, ordered 2 from Amazon.

NeilJam

The Creator Family House price does not seem to be matched on Amazon, still $71.99 on there.

jedivalkyrie

@neilJam: It probably was, but Amazon's stock is sold out. Now shows as "Ships from and sold by YoYo.com"

matticus_bricks

Amazon price back to RRP. >:( Think it will come down again?

JBricks27

i wonder if it was an hour deal

yys4u

darn I'm missing everything!

margot

Jek and museum are still discounted.

I was one of the first through the door at Target's 6 PM opening tonight. They had 4 banged-up Batcaves, 4 Jeks, and absolutely nothing else, not one Museum Break In, not one single Creator Family House. So much for standing in line for 45 minutes.

pumperx

Museum break in is available at Amazon right now with price match @ $41.99.

Supposedly there is a shipment delay and not many stores got the Museum or Family House set:

http://weeklyad.target.com/site/#/irvine-ca-92606/page/Target-141127/product/lego-sets-shown-2036507157

"Due to shipping delays, the LEGO City 60008 and Creator 31012 sets featured in the Black Friday ad are not available at this time."

Brickarmor

My Target had 2 Batcaves, 2 Houses, 5-6 Jeks, 0 Museums. I had someone scan the first 2 to see if more were in the back. Nope, 2 each. Ridiculous.

Yeah, your right. Didn't think that one through very well. Still, 10% off at a later date would be nice, especially right after Christmas during Clearence time.

yys4u

Didnt see any batcaves at my Target. No big empty spaces either so I doubt someone bought them all.

luckie_reubs

Yep, our target only had four, and they were gone fast. I also missed the Amazon sale on th batcave. That one will forever elude me.

Poochy

Went to Target about 2 hours after opening to pick up bandages, and stumbled onto 2 batcaves. Thank goodness I needed bandages tonight.

iplante

My target had batcaves and Star Wars. And lego movie everything is awesome edition for $9

For anyone who will be buying exclusives from Target in the future then the 10% off giftcard sale is the best BF lego deal in 2014 by far.

If you buy online and have a redcard on file then the 5% red card discount still applies if you edit payment method and change to the gift card. Go through your fave affiliate for another 5% cashback. This will net you 18.75% off exclusives in the future.

When you buy the giftcards and have discover cards then get another 5% off the front end up to $1500 per discover card (unless you have already maxed out that deal).

Target says limit $300 but checkout as a guest incognito and load up on as many as you want. For every $6k you buy you will be saving $1125.

You will also be able to rock an 18.75% off avatar pic next year (coming soon).

^People have that much to spend at Target??

I didn't go out for Black Friday (too many people). But my local Target had all of the BF sets sitting out on Tuesday or Wednesday. I thought about just buying them ahead of time, but decided against it. I already have the figures from the Batcave, so I didn't need the set since it didn't really do much for me when it was brand new. Otherwise I would have bought it 2 years ago...

***mind blown**** Way too complicated to even think about. I am happy just to get my 10% team member discount and the 5% off w/ Redcard.

pharmjod

I'm sticking with the Free Jor-El polybag with Keychain and free shipping as the best Black Friday deal. Just sayin. :)

I didn't think so. You just clearly explained exactly how you propose one goes about maximizing the benefit. I'll gladly read a long, clear explanation over one riddled with hints, assumptions, and other such subtleties. Thanks!

My target had these at $42 each, though not on the sales floor. I had to give somebody the DCPI and they went to the back and got it. It is showing as "discontinued" in their system, so YMMV. So glad I was able to snag one at this price, I was so disappointed on BF.

teal93mr2

Should have mentioned it was the #31012 Family House
