Then Target dropped the train station #60050, which was online only. It went unavailable then was removed from website while I was on the phone with them. No idea if they plan to add it back later or if it's no longer being sold by Target.
Target.com has better deals than their stores. The clerk said I could only price match one of an item per day. That's not so hard with so much to choose from - got one each #70600, #70312, #41174, #41180, #41068, #41172 and 6 #30474.
The #41172 is a Christmas gift for a 7 year old cousin; it's similar value to the DUPLO I got younger cousins and goes with other Elves sets I got her before.
Part out value of #70600 is more like 2.66x, still near the top of the list, but the minifig prices went down a bit and I listed some of the regular pieces below average.
For what I can tell, in store is 20% off RRP, while some items on the website are 36% (20% over 20%).
The Target store by the office also had the Ghost Rider set at $15.99, so I ordered it on the website with pickup at store... $12.79.
It's great being known as "the LEGO guy" amongst the community. Whenever the subject comes up in conversation, my wife and pre-teen daughter, both let out a collective sigh, and walk away.
You can use price match to ensure you get the lowest price. However, you can't apply cartwheel against an item you price match if you're relying on a cartwheel coupon.
I don't like waiting for shipping, so I just go to the store, pickup the item(s), take it directly to customer service then price match and checkout there. Note that you have 14 days to price match, so you can even bring a receipt in and apply it afterwards (should always check other deals are still active that were applied at the time of purchase or might not be worth adjusting).
Red card also gives you 90 days to return items (apart from the 5% discount), which can be nice if you're wanting to play it safe but unsure if a better deal is around the corner.
Another tip: if you have a baby registry you can use it for Lego in store (not online) for another 15% off.
Although I also notice the MF has been removed from target's web site
If lego has taught us anything during 2016, it is to never buy early...everything will be at least 20% within weeks.
With red card that's already a 39.2% discount (or 45.28% if target employee too).
Discovered this because my daughter wanted the hot dog van at the $23.99 in store, but I told her it was $19.19 on line. Tried pulling it up to price match and couldn't..."Lego Friends sets not found", nor Lego Star Wars. Hmmmmm.......
How did you get the carbon freezing chamber for 16?
Red card brings it below $16
Last day if the say, had to go on principle even though today's weather sucked. Got #41118 , #41172 , #41174 , #70312 , #70600
The clerk was slow about doing the price match. Why can't they just make the store and website prices the same in the first place? Are they hoping people won't know or won't bother.
Having to load up the redcard debit card first adds to the running around.
I am furious.
Target.com has a #60090 with a >=$34.99 set instead.
Can it be combined with price match and can someone get small sets adding up to $25? That's what I did with a similar offer for #30350 and #30396.
These sets just above $24.99 are already good deals for parting out:
#70315 is $25.59 online, part out value about $63.
#41067 is $39.99 part value $89
Service desk clerk couldn't find any, but I saw one out of place on the shelves and got that with a 41167.
Overheard electronics desk staff talking about the promo, I'll talk to them tomorrow, but it was near closing this time.
