Dare I say, Walmart?

Astrobricks

Tried my luck at that Inver Grove Walmart. No Pirate coasters left :(
But I picked up: 
#70838 Queen Whatevra’s Palace $49
#41368 Andreas Talent Show $21
#41351 Creative Tuning Shop $15

I just wish there was more consistency from store to store... invariably the only store with huge discounts on the set I want is across town

Across town? You big city folk kill me. I don't even have a city inside 2 hours of me.

What about 3 hours inside of you?

That costs extra. You'll likely need to pay the full night at that point.

^^^You hit ten Walmarts?  Did it hurt?

...or was that only TWO Walmarts you hit?  #basetwo

Made another stop at the WalMart near me, and there's still stuff I could go back for

2 #70838 $49 for parts

#75247 $5, #41361 $9, #10753 and #41160 $11 gift pile

#70679 for $40 is great but only 1 left and it's more worthwhile to part out multiples

Hopefully will have a chance to check a 3rd WalMart Thursday evening. Brickseek reports more of 70838, 70824 there but it also shows those in stock at stores I already cleared out.

The long number on WalMart receipts is the UPC, but Brickseek only recognizes it without the leading zero.

Slimmer pickings at a 4th WalMart in range but still might give them a look

Yes, that's a long round trip.

KingAlanI

3 41369, 3 70838, 14 70824 at the 3rd WalMart

Running total is $856.44 for part out and $70.20 for gifts, and I'm not done yet

Might go back to the 1st one for more 41369's

According to Brickseek, the 4th has yet more 70824, a 5th has 70838 and 41356

^-Careful, while people likely appreciate the exuberance in finding good deals, talking about how much you have spent and how you are running around buying up every LEGO set on clearance that you can find may rub people the wrong way (especially those that may have not found such deals). There is a brag thread for that. 

KingAlanI

I saw lots of other people posting their scores in store threads, so I thought nothing of it. sometimes feel left out, but found some good stuff myself this time.

largely whiffed at one of the other WalMarts, just a few small sets - 2 #41359 $9 and 2 #75206 $5 which I hadn't seen before and 2 more #41356 at $4

lessjunkfood

Went to Walmart looking for the Minecraft poly, came up empty there but found a few things in the clearance aisle. Brought home #60179 and #70651 for $7 each, plus another #70841 for $5, you can’t have too many Benny’s Space Squads!

KingAlanI

3 more #41369 for parts and 1 #75933 for a gift

usually I find someone with a key for the locked case quickly.

But not Saturday - first couple associates had no clue, the next one said the people with the keys had already gone home for the night. The lock irritates me to begin with, and then that BS...

BeauBricks

Got #75234 AT-AP for $25 at Garden City, Kansas while traveling. It was the only Walmart I had visited with any substantial discounts.

I picked up a number of sets at Walmart yesterday that were in the 60% off clearance range. Most of them are for gifts, but a couple of parts packs for myself too. Friends and Unikitty for the most part.

Keilup

Stopped at one Walmart after my 6 day hiatus from Clearance shopping to see what was up.

Clearance in full swing.  2 long aisles of toy/general clearance.  Handful of Duplo sets at 50% off.  Lego aisle has been reset (mostly).  Full/long aisle plus section of second aisle which looked to be dedicated to Ninjago.  All new tags were neatly placed on shelf, but only about 1/6 of the sticker spots had stock which were neatly stacked.  Of those about half were older sets and half some of the newer sets including what appeared to be all of Hidden Sides.  I would assume rest of stock will show up by the weekend.

Didn't have much time but looked at the Speed Champions area (one of my favorites.  There were tags for 8 sets, 6 of individual cars and 2 mid size ( #75893 & #75894 )  Didn't see any of the big sets, but I might have missed them slightly off to the side or top I suppose.  3 of the 8 had stock.  #75895 was one of them, but interestingly listed at $14.97 rather than the $12.93 of the other 5.  Will be waiting for sale, drop, or preferably drop and %20 sale (or clearance if I can hold out that long.)

Already starting my plan of what will most likely clearance and I'll want to target as part of the winter clearance run after Christmas.

KingAlanI

checked out a 5th WalMart on the 5th. the last one in my range and the clearance is winding down anyways

3 #10862 @ $7

best DUPLO deal I've seen. Many of the DUPLO sales have been great if you needed a toddler gift, but only okay for part out compared to the LEGO sales

#41163 $5

11 more #70824

Astrobricks

I stopped in the Burnsville WM today. Some new sets in the LEGO aisle and clearance has been moved to the general clearance area.

pxchris

I picked up another copy of #75952 yesterday at my local Walmart. It was clearanced down to $21, but the box was partially opened along one seam. So I asked a manager if I could open it the rest of the way and check the contents, which I did, and everything looked like it was there. Then... he knocked another $5 off of it.
So, $16 was the total... that might be my best score to date!

Saw this posted elsewhere: https://www.walmart.com/search/?cat_id=0&facet=special_offers:Rollback&page=1&query=lego&u1=33822X916520X9eb4f8932838ad67fd85680ab8d220bd&oid=599512.1&wmlspartner=TnL5HPStwNw&sourceid=06890148750985339553&affillinktype=10&veh=aff#searchProductResult

Some decent rollback prices, some sets 40%+ off (juniors t-rex breakout, heartlake summer pool etc)

560Heliport

I just got #70672 Cole's Dirt Bike for $15 at the Eagan, MN WalMart. It was on a table with other clearance toys in front of the toy section.

560Heliport

They also had #41347 Heartlake City Resort for $70, and a Duplo set (I don't remember which one). That's all I saw for clearance LEGO.

KungFuKenny

Seems like most of the stores around here are pretty cleaned out by now, which is a good thing for me... I was getting to the point that I was rationalizing buying themes I don’t collect just because they were so cheap!

jedijason1138

Walmart has #60234 City People Pack - Fun Fair for $35 and #76119 Batmobile: Pursuit of the Joker for $25. I built the Batmobile last night, and it's pretty nice.

scotty12

Just a heads up...if there was something you've had your eye on a Walmart....today they lowered "some" of their LEGO to 70-75% off.  Yet at the same store some were still 50%.  Check your brickseek.
Example:
Lego Movie 2 #70838 Queen Waterva now at $25
Jurassic World #75927  $5
Harry Potter #75951   $4.50

CaptainRogers

Found a few scattered deals.
#41153 Ariel's Royal Celebration Boat $11
#41358 Mia's Heart Box $2
#70738 Queen Watevra's Palace $25
##75196 A-Wing vs. TIE Silencer $4.50
#75203 Hoth Medical Chamber
#10764 City Central Airport $11

Walmart SKU for Series 19 Minifigures is 736691856.  Nothing around me available so YMMV but hope it helps someone on the hunt.
Here is a picture of the tag in-store.

Finally found something on clearance with a decent deal at our local walmart!  They had #76109 on for 44% off so couldn’t turn that one down.

Today has been the day of D2C set sales on Walmart and/or Amazon it seems by looking at all my Slickdeals notifications!

Yeah, sorry I didn't post any specifics, as @KungFuKenny mentioned, they were all already expired by the time I made my post. I would have loved to have gotten the VW Beetle for my mom, she's been wanting one for a while.

Walmart rolled some prices back today, some decent deals in there. Vader constructable almost half off, also 21315 pop up book for $45 is pretty cheap for a rumored to be retiring set.

Thank you both, I missed the last big sale on that one and was worried it was going to be forever before I saw it again, if ever!

Walmart added a couple more pages of rollbacks most are 20-40% off:

#76105 is $84, also at Amazon.

#70657 is $180 as well... Not on Amazon yet.

An oddity I've noticed on the Series 19 #71025 at our two local Walmarts is the prevalence of the CMFs with the smallest distribution. For example, there is supposed to be 3X of the Monkey King, Firewoman, and Biker Girl per case; however, I seem to be finding those in abundance. For me it was more difficult finding the Rugby Player, Computer Girl and Explorer Guy. The two sets I've found most abundantly are the Rainbow Bear and Egyptian Girl, which I assume weren't very well received by resellers.

Blockwork_Orange

I've found the new SW Advent and Harry Potter Advent calendars at WalMart stores in Canada for $39.98 rather than the MSRP of $49.99.  Not sure if this is the intended price or not, but 20% off of a newly released set isn't bad!

baron

Found #70418 J.B's Ghost Lab already on clearance for 11$, was the only set on clearance in entire aisle

ReesesPieces

Walmart has #76120 batman batwing riddler heist for $36.  28% is pretty good off of a new set.  Same price on Amazon.

Found #76131 Avengers Compound Battle @ $50 in my local WM
