Si-MOCs Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 Heads-up for anyone around the Eaton Centre downtown Toronto: Sears has a 50% off clearance thing right now, and I was in there on Monday to see a stack of LEGO which counted as clearance. ... Why didn't you say something on Monday? :( Quote
Toadtorrent Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 Anyway, as of yesterday morning, there were still 2 Garmadon's Dark Fortresses that were marked down to 68 something, so with the sale they'd be about 35 bucks. No idea if they're still there now, but if you're eager, have a look. Nothing there today...NOTHING. They had a few current sets for 15% off...but it looks like you had the great timing!! Quote
IAmWillGibson Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 Why didn't you say something on Monday? :( Because...... I'm........... slowww. Quote
Toadtorrent Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) Because...... I'm........... slowww. I was sooo excited today to get there early...to find nothing. You got a great deal...oh well, we can but try. You sounded guilty at making the purchase...I can help out...I'll buy them from you for cost + 10%. Edited December 2, 2011 by Toadtorrent Quote
Si-MOCs Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 I was sooo excited today to get there early...to find nothing. You got a great deal... Haha thanks for the heads up. I was on my way and saw this en route - ill take the shrot route home! Quote

You sounded guilty at making the purchase...I can help out...I'll buy them from you for cost + 10%. Nah, I ain't feeling guilty for buying them. Maybe for forgetting to tell anyone though. Story time: I'd been after the Limo for a long time, but never wanted it at full price. Then it sort of dried up everywhere, when I saw it at Sears in early October for around 40 bucks reduced. Now, at the time I was low on funds and was saving for more important purchases, so I said "Nope!" like a good, responsible boy, and sorta hated myself because it was gone when I went back in a few days. And then I was there, because I had a feeling, a dream perhaps, that it was still there somewhere, floating around in the back or under a box. That Sears is pretty generally messy, so it was possible. And kablam! Like fate. There was the Limo, and at an even lower price. Like I said, there was also two Fortresses, the Dojo, and the Hyperspeed Pursuit. I directed a kindly gandparenty couple who were looking at LEGO to the sale rack, but I'm not sure if they got anything. But two days later I'd convinced myself the Dojo was worth having, and, happily, everything but the other Space Police set was still sitting there. At that point it occurred to me I should probably tell other dudes on here. You definitely went to the Clearance section, and not just the LEGO section? They were in a different spot. Quote
Toadtorrent Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 You definitely went to the Clearance section, and not just the LEGO section? They were in a different spot. The beauty of sales is needing good timing. Yup...definitely on the sale tables/shelf...nothing there. Oh well...next time perhaps! Quote
IAmWillGibson Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 So I got an email saying I won [3rd place] in the Santa Yoda contest LEGO is holding, which is cool beans, right? Except I can't win 'cause I'm in Canada. Gah!! Foiled again. Quote

Except I can't win 'cause I'm in Canada. Gah!! Foiled again. That sucks. Do you have any friends or relatives in the US? If so send it to them. Quote
IAmWillGibson Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 That sucks. Do you have any friends or relatives in the US? If so send it to them. I thought of this exactly a minute after emailing them back saying I live in Canada. You need to be a resident to officially win [i asked]. Aww well, nice to know I sorta won! Quote
sok117 Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 Anyone spotting any of the superhero sets in Canada? Specifically if anyone knows if they are in the back room of the lego store or not? Quote
Si-MOCs Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 It's on Shop @ Home - estimate street date Dec 15th - so I would suspect the LBR stores should get them fairly soon. Similarly I would assume other retailers will have them soon - if not out already. Quote

Just asking if anyones seen anything, although I could always just call the store. Quote
