Stash2Sixx Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 Hello Everyone in the Chicagoland area. The LEGO store at Woodfield Mall will be receiving all of the new sets this coming week. Agents Castle (no Good Wizard or Dwarf Mines as of yet) Coast Guard Racers Batman Creator Mars Mission Yeah, I was disappointed to see no Wizards or Mines either. Just wanted to keep everyone posted!!!!!
Stash2Sixx Posted July 14, 2008 Author Posted July 14, 2008 If a mod reads this, would you be willing to change the name to "Chicago Area" and leaave off the new products. Just so those of us in the Chicagoland area can keep each other posted? Thanks! Not so much a new product, but America's Best Train and Hobby in Itasca had a few of the older Batman sets, Like Bane w/ the Bat Tank and the Killer Croc sets in stock. This guy sells his regular priced LEGO at 20% off, so even with the slight markup, you still come out ahead. Killer Croc w/ the hovercraft was $15.99. He had the Harry Potter and the OotP Hogwarts too and I think they were $99.99, but not sure how many were left.

Stash2Sixx Posted July 27, 2008 Author Posted July 27, 2008 The TRU in Schaumburg, on Golf Rd., as of 6pm, Saturday the 26th of July: 3 Troll Battle Wheels 4 X-Wing fighters 2 Peril In Peru 2 Hoth Bases 2 Mission 8 I asked the girl at the Target on Higgins and Meacham about the new Clone Wars sets, and if the exclusive Hover Tank was available yet. She told me that they came out on Sunday the 27th? I don't know if she knew what she was talking about, but she did know that there was a limited edition set that they were going to carry...so...who knows. I will check back tomorrow morning.
deandome Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 (edited) Hi...new member here! First off...does anyone know how many posts it takes to get the ability to post new topics here? I understand the 'no newbie for-sale posts' rule, but I'm actually looking to BUY an 8421 Mobile Crane somewhere (at a reasonable price...maybe $150 ish, shipped to Chicago). Was that ever released in the US? I'm also thinking about the big bulldozer, which I'm surprised is no longer a current model. Anyone know of places where they're available at/below MSRP? I'd like to open a WTB thread, but I can't...yet. My wife & son are going to the new Lego "Discovery Center" tomorrow (me gotta work )...man, that place is pretty expensive!! If available, they might pickup a 7678 Droid Gunship and/or...cross fingers...a 7679 Republic Tank Fighter. I hear that although that's currently listed as not available in the US, that might change SOON. Lets keep this Chicago thread going & keep each other up to date. I haven't found a US-centric forum this 'usable' re. finding buy/sell/trade boards or the like. Edited July 31, 2008 by deandome

Stash2Sixx Posted September 22, 2008 Author Posted September 22, 2008 (edited) 10020 Factory set Custom Car Garage now available at LEGO Woodfield (Taj Mahal too). Boat loads of newer PAB pieces, including Tan 1 x 8 and gray 2 x 2 tiles. Just wanted to give a heads up. And if I am correct, 7678 is a Target Exclusive first, some time in October along with Mission 7. We will have it soon! Edited September 22, 2008 by stash2sixx
Marshallmario Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Thanks for all the effort on whats up in the Chicago area. I live in Madison,WI. I read Walmart has some sets on clearance...but definately not around here. Anything clearanced at your Walmarts? Do you know if that small shop you mentioned still has any Harry Potter Castles? Might be worth the drive. Thanks!
Stash2Sixx Posted September 23, 2008 Author Posted September 23, 2008 The two Walmarts near me never really have any LEGO, mostly Megablocks. So, I have no clue what is on clearance because I don't go in there anymore. As for the hobby shop, no, they are sold out of the Hogwart's castle. I sent someone over a few weeks ago and they got the last one because the lady told me so. And I encourage anyone living in the TRI-STATE area (LOL) to please post and include info.
Stash2Sixx Posted October 12, 2008 Author Posted October 12, 2008 Monday the 13th, if everything comes in at LEGO Woodfield.... Mail vans Sandcrawlers, yes I said sandcrawlers.
CopMike Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Monday the 13th, if everything comes in at LEGO Woodfield....Mail vans Sandcrawlers, yes I said sandcrawlers. Hi there my friend!Thosa Sandcrawlers, are they on sale ? And thanks for updating this post! CopMike
Stash2Sixx Posted October 12, 2008 Author Posted October 12, 2008 (edited) When they come in, I will check the price and repost here so everyone knows. Price is $99.98 USD! Edited October 15, 2008 by stash2sixx
Stash2Sixx Posted October 18, 2008 Author Posted October 18, 2008 FYI... Both Target exclusives will become available at the Woodfield LEGO store on Sunday the 19th. Agents Mission 7 and the 7679 Clone Hover Tank, from the Clone Wars, are available on the 19th.!
voltio Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 Thanks for your Chicago updates. I used to frequent Woodfield, but lately I've had better service and selection at the Northbrook store. Northbrook Court, the mall where it is located, is sparsely attended, so the store puts more sets on sale. I haven't been there in a few months; when I return, I will post what I find there.
Stash2Sixx Posted October 18, 2008 Author Posted October 18, 2008 (edited) Not so much "more on sale," but less people frequent there to buy items.. By the way, more Sandcrawlers are now in stock at Woodfield LEGO. Edited October 21, 2008 by stash2sixx

Stash2Sixx Posted March 23, 2009 Author Posted March 23, 2009 Woodfield and Northbrook LEGO stores got in the new 10195 AT-OT/Dropship today. Not much new on PAB, seen it all before.
Stash2Sixx Posted May 26, 2009 Author Posted May 26, 2009 Was at Woodfield this weekend and decided to buy one of everything that they had in their PAB wall, along with a few things that weren't out on display. UNFORTUNATELY...I'm still trying to figure out my resizing of pictures and just realized that I can only upload 7 at a time, so I need to do a little more research into this. If only I knew someone who lived nearby and was a picture wiz on EB??? More to come... Sorry, I really am.
