Where To Find Good Lego Deals

The_Iveys

Good morning.  I was wondering where you all think are the best places to score Lego deals (I live in central Florida, USA).  I know about the following:

-- Consignment Shops
-- Goodwill/Salvation Army
-- Wal-Mart
-- Target
-- TRU (occasionally)

Where are some other places to look/watch?  I've seen people mention places like Ross, TJ Maxx, Tuesday Morning, Homegoods, even Lowe's.... but are these places actually worth checking with?

Thank you!

Amazon.com is probably #1.  There is even a bot that keeps track of the sales there for you on Brickset.  I don't bother with any of the places you mentioned in your last sentence.  Target you can find deals, especially if you have a slow moving store and they end up clearancing out a bunch.

Btw, there is a section a bit further down listing deals in each region.  You might want to check that out for more specifics.

If you're looking for new and popular sets, best bet is Amazon, Target or Walmart.

The consignment shops and Goodwill/SA-type stores are really hit-and-miss. Moreover, if the set is a small set, the price difference isn't going to be much. The larger sets are where you can "make up" the value.

I think that Target clearances are the best sales.
Amazon sales get jumped on pretty quickly so your chances of landing one can be tough.

I would guess it means a "Huwbot", as per the Amazon watch postings on the home page.
