Kohl's is selling Lego now

    Stopped into Kohl's earlier today looking for another couple of Poly Bag Christmas Trees.  I found just one but also spied the new Disney Frozen Story book and wait for it!  On the shelf was a half full box of Series 21 Minifigs.  Needless to say I spent the next 15 minutes trying to feel through what was there.  Managed to find 2 Centaurs as well as most of the rest of the set.  I haven't opened them yet but I think the only one I will need to search further for is the Airplane girl.  I think I found everything else but the Space Policeman.

    Stopped by a couple of Kohl's today looking for Minifigures, but found none. They did have a couple of new 2021 city, and Marvel sets out.

    My Kohls had series 21 and 1 Christmas tree poly not on clearance.

    Kohl's currently has 10% off some Disney Princess sets including the new Raya sets.  Also they have 10% off Dots sets.

    Today, November 5th, until midnight central time, is a Kohl's Cash day ($15 for every $50 spent, must be used between the 6th and 18th of November; fine print).
    Online, the largest sets available include the Technic #42131 CAT bulldozer and #71741 Ninjago City Gardens.  They also have the #21325 Ideas Blacksmith Shop.
    Like last year, the Kohl's cash can be stacked with the 30% off sale, though "Select" is only 9 sets as of now.

    So IF

    a) you spend right at a $50 increment AND
    b) you have something you would already be buying at Kohl's between the 5th and the 18th,

    this is effectively 30% off even if buying a set at MSRP. The 2nd part of that IF is the big downside for me. If you use the money at Kohl's on another Lego set at full MSRP, the % discount is effectively reduced because you're locked into paying full MSRP for the 2nd set of purchases. For example:

    Purchase #1: Ideas Blacksmith, $150 (let's assume you can find something for a few cents to put you over)
    Kohl's Cash: $45
    Purchase #2: Scout Trooper Helmet, $50 - $45 in Kohl's cash, net $5 spent.

    So you spend $155 for $200 in Lego at full MSRP. That's effectively a 22.5% discount on the total of all purchases. Not bad if you're looking for sets that aren't typically discounted much. But not significantly better than if you wait for a Lego store and/or S@H Double VIP window with a good GWP, like we should see later this month, or if you can get the sets from Amazon, Walmart, or Target for 20% off. In fact, Target at 20% plus the 5% Red Card discount is the best option of those. That would have you pay $152 for the same 2 sets I used in my Kohl's example.

    ^It doesn't change your conclusions, but for your above example, the Buyer should receive another $5 or $10 in Kohl's Cash:
    Kohl's has a loyalty program called "Kohl's Rewards" (details) where they issue $5 of Kohl's Cash for each full $100 you spend, with a look-back period of one year.  These Rewards "Cash" are only issued on the first day of each month, and once issued, have to be used within 30 days.
    In the Ideas Blacksmith example, the Buyer would get $5 of Kohl's Cash on December 1st.
    Additionally, another $5 in Kohl's Cash could be earned if the Buyer chooses to pick up an order in-store, rather than having it delivered, which I assume only applies for orders above the free shipping threshold of $75 (details page).  However, this offer is capped at one per 24-hour period, so if a buyer picks up, say, 3 orders on the same day, they will only receive $5 of Kohl's Cash, not $15.  Also, some items may be ship-only, so a pick-up option may not be available.
    In the example, these two Kohl's Cash credits would be issued separately from the main $45 credit, which would likely mean at least one and perhaps two extra trips to a Kohl's location to buy a small Lego set, so the credits' relative value would be diminished.

    Looks like Kohl's Black Friday sale currently is a whopping 5% off list price on many sets including some newer ones and some very expensive ones.  On the plus side they are giving $15 Kohl's Cash for every $50 spent.  Better deals elsewhere for the most part unless you can make use of the bonus Kohl's Cash.

    ^If, and only if the $15 is applied towards LEGO.  I tried that last year and asked an employee walking by and she said "yes" $15 Kohl's Cash for every $50 applies to LEGO...but then get up to the register and I get the "No" from the store manager.

    According to the website the earn $15 Kohl's cash is valid on Lego.  If you click on any sets over $50 it will tell you how much Kohl's Cash you will earn on the set.  That Store manager was wrong.  I would have argued the point with them by showing the proof on their website.

    Found CMF 22 in a local Kohl's today and got them for $4.75 each due to their current 5% off most Lego.  The box was about 2/3 full so I tried to find all the ones I wanted as well as some duplicates.  It's tough to figure out which ones are the ones with inner bags but I'm pretty sure the Forest Elf was one.  I don't know if I found the Robot Repair Tech or the Space  Creature but I didn't take the Wheelchair Racer or the Figure Skater.

    I may of been a bad boy. Stopped by the one by me, and the shelves were empty. They did have carts full of boxes to be put on the shelf nearby. Luckily the CMF one was open and on top of the cart. I found the ones I wanted, and left the box on the shelf.

    4 boxes at each of the two Kohls nearest me.  Picked up all I wanted and then some! 
  • karritkarrit Member Posts: 1,068
    Went back to the one I found the figures at last week but the box was empty.  I'll have to check my local store to see if they got them in yet.  They did have some of the new Friends Sets and a few other ones on the shelf but nothing I felt I needed to buy yet at least not at full price.  I'll see if I can find anything while I'm out tomorrow.  I do have $10 Kohl's Cash I need to spend by 1/02/22 so I hope I can find something to spend it on.

    I picked up 3 of CMF 22 today and it cost me nothing. I didn’t know I had some unused Kohl’s cash in their system.

    I thought this info worthy of resurrecting this thread...I picked up 76208 The Goat Boat at Kohls today, still marked at the old/current price of $49.99. Lego.com is sold out, and Target and Wal-Mart have already raised their prices to $59.99, so the old MSRP feels almost like a bargain. And never hurts if you've got some Kohls-cash to too.

    I got one in store at Target earlier this week at the $49.99 price.  Apparently the store hadn't raised the price to match the online price yet fortunately.  I almost bought it in Kohl's but checked Target first to get my additional 5% Redcard discount.

    Placed an online order for #75325 and the folks at kohl’s put the box in a plastic bag for shipping. This is how it arrived:


    It was my first and likely the last time I purchase online from them. I had $20 in Kohl’s cash to burn and they didn’t have this set in stock at my local store.

    They did that to me with some Fiestaware coffee mugs once.  Needless to say they were in pieces when I got them.
  • gmonkey76gmonkey76 Member Posts: 1,833
    @Yo_dA same thing happened to mine from Target. You would think they would have some guidelines as to what to ship stuff in.

    Yeah, I saw your post in the Target thread. What a coincidence we both get damaged sets from different retailers. It’s a shame the ones packing don’t have common sense. 

    Worst part is my sticker sheet was creased from the damage. I’ll have to order a replacement from LEGO.

       So Kohls has 126 sets on sale today with $15 Kohls cash on every $50 spent. If you bought $100 set you would earn $30 to spend on future Lego even if the set wasn't on sale. Example would be #21318 Tree House reg. $249.99 on sale for $174.99 (free ship over $25) would earn $45 Kohls cash. Roughly $120 off retail...almost 50% off if you use the same math I use to justify all the money I spend on Lego!
