All Christmas polys are gone at my local Target.

They were completely stocked three days ago.

I went to two different Target stores and there were none anywhere. There were still some Captain America and Kylo Ren Shuttles, but no Christmas ones. 

Legogram

It took 3 tries, but my closest Target finally had them out.  They did not have very many in the bins, so hopefully they will be better stocked soon.

Don't worry, I'm sure someone on eBay or BL will be selling them soon trying to get a whopping 50 cent profit (if that).
I guess it could be someone doing it for a big party, or going to donate them as party gifts of a holiday giveaway for needy children, that would be a nice thing.

Or it's the at you need 9 + Santa for a complete "set." Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, yadda yadda yadda.

^I didn't think of that. I should get back to Target!

I only bought 2, one for me and one for the daughter's stocking...perhaps I do need a whole fleet.

Front page of Targets website today advertises "The biggest lego sale of the year".  It looks like its a blanket 20% off a large number of sets from every tbeme.  Not a great deal by itself but it does look like the 20% is compounded on a number of sets that were already on sale, so for instance 60104 Lego City Airport Passenger Terminal is normally $99.99, but they already had it on sale for $78.99 and now with this sale it shows as $63.19, which is a pretty sweet deal!

Thoughtsonblocks

Total its looking like a little over a 100 sets on sale.  The compounded ones are hard to find unless you know what your looking for because the "regular price" that is listed is actually the previous "on sale" price.  Some of theses are the same sets for roughly the same prices that happened a week or two ago (like Vacation Getaway and the Airshow).  Here is what I have found so far:

60095 Deep Sea Exploration Vessel:  Normally $119.99, previous sale $104.99, now $83.99
76035 Jokerland:  Normally $119.99, previous sale $101.99, now $81.59
60104 City Airport Passenger Terinal: $99.99 to $78.99 to $63.19
60103 Airport Air Show:  $89.99 to $71.99 to $57.59
60130 City Police Prison Island:  $$89.99 to $71.99 to $57.59
31052 Vacation Getaways:  $69.99 to $51.99 to $41.59 
75149 Resistance X-wing Fighter:  $79.99 to $71.99 to $57.59
76038 Attack on Avengers Tower:  $59.99 to $44.99 to $35.99

There are a bunch of others too, including some of the newer sets like Doc Ocks Tentacle Trap for $25.59, Nexo Knights Clays Rumble Blade for $25.59.

Bumblepants

Got Ragina Elves Castle, the City ferry, and Dr Strange for $100! Passed on the M Falcon at $96 but a steal if you want one

SeijiAmasawa

Thanks for the heads-up. Finally secured Vacation Getaways for a little over $40. 

Dedgecko

Amazon is starting to match these as well

Jokerland back to 101 USD :-(

#41078 Skyra's Mysterious Sky Castle $54.99 31%

The Millennium Falcon is not showing on sale for me. 

ryjay

Didnt see a sale on the MF either....I think it was showing like $115.99.  Although I dont think I'd buy it unless it was near $75, and not sure that will happen

madforLEGO

I think some sets are going up and down with their prices, I think the new Turbo Tanks are at about 75 now as well so SW is on sale
#301048 Creator Lakeside Lodge is 19.19 now (about 36% off), matched at Amazon as well.

Scored some bat things today :) I had to ask for them to be brought out from the stock room. Thank you, @ClutchPower for posting the product numbers

Usually Target cashiers block sales off LEGO sets prematurely. Tempted to go buy some, but the sales right now on so many a Friends and City sets at almost 40% off is priority.

I got a couple at the store on Hillsdale/Ross. There were a few left but I didn't count. I have an extra if you need one and can't find it.

ClutchPower

Nice to see @YogaFett2 getting the sets. That make my day :D

dspigel

I went to my closest Target to see if they had any Batman sets, but none was found.

JBricks27

@dspigel I don't think many stores will have the batman movies sets out. Your best bet is to ask an employee to look them up with the DPCI numbers.

dspigel

I might do that tomorrow and see how it goes. Thanks for the info.

MrJ_NY

Picked up 76058 Spiderman & Ghostrider Team-Up for $12.79,that's the cheapest I've seen that set.

And if you just wait, they soon will have a 20% off sale, so no need to hurry to purchase

If you buy an item before on sale date the cash register will not allow it to be sold. 

BuriedinBricks

Awesome sale. Picked up the Dr. Strange set and the Carbon-Freezing Chamber I'd been thinking about for awhile. Only about $40 for the pair with red card, so I'm happy.

So the sign goes up early and the register doesn't let you act on that?

Anyway, nothing on Cartwheel, a search for lego just showed other toys.

KingAlanI

In store now. Those sale signs are dated 11 19, this Saturday.
So many choices! I think I might crunch the numbers again, load up my redcard debit card more, and come back later.

I went to another target looking for the reindeer. I had no luck. I did however pick up 6 #30278 Poe's Xwing poly. They had a few left.

krank

Grr #76038 is out of stock in all stores and online when the sale just started yesterday. Apparently they have it listed as salvaged (beyond clearance) so doesn't sound like they'll get any more stock of this one.

wagnerml2

PLeanty fo Reindeer here.  Happy to pick some up if anyone wants.

MugenPower

Could the stores that don't have the reindeer poly in stock just be slow at rolling them out?  I went to my local store last Thurs and they didn't have them out.  I went back on Sun and they had plenty (~15+).  I went to another store and they had about the same amount.  Now, if that's all they're going to get, I can see how some stores might not have any left, especially if people go buckwild hoarding them.

I have 2 more targets in this area to check first. If none can be found, I might take you up on this. Thank you for offering in the first place.

Went back to my local Target.

no reindeer

loads of friends. Not surprising since it's not really festive. A bit surprised because there's a hot dog and a ball!

KingAlanI

I saw two empty racks tagged 77 pc building set for $3.49, that matches #30474

Here's an updated and detailed version of my Part Out Value sheet - http://www.mediafire.com/file/qpldtc0a9bbr0t9/Part_Out_Value.xlsx
In short, the best ratios are these, from 3.12x to 2.5x: #70600 , #70312 , #70321 , #70590 , #41174 , #76038 , #75141 , #75148 , #70602 , #10587 , #10816 , #76048 , #70315 , #75147 , #41118 , #41180
#41068 is 2.47x, so every set I want some parts from is a great deal. I've wanted a castle for ages and may MOC with 41180 (I had thought of #75826 when I saw a sale on that). The others I want for minidolls.
I already listed 2 70600, so that would be particularly easy to handle. 41174 in 5th is only slightly behind 3rd and 4th. I might bump it up since it's smaller and I want it anyway.

Goldchains

Glad I saw this thread.  Purchased the Ghost Rider set for $12.59 and the Dr. Strange set for $23.99.  Good deals all around.

When I noticed Target being out I immediately headed to Amazon.  They had them same price and I ordered two.

I'm about to do a similar thing; I want to MOC #76038 but I don't know how well it'll go. Even at three sets, I don't think it's enough. 

Onebricktoomany

^^ I'm going to attempt the same.  Had 2 sets previous and with the 2 from yesterday I'm hoping that will be enough.  Probably won't get started on it until kids Christmas break begins.

They do that a lot.not sure if Target, TLG or both are to blame.

krank

Yeah although Amazon required Prime to get #75038 and I don't have it, plus I would have saved extra at Target with transaction discounts (red card etc).
Walmart also has the same price might do that.
I was in Target today and saw #42046 is down to $4.78 in the store now if anyone cares.

JBricks27

How are you guys finding these super low prices? I found the sets on sale but not as low as you listed
