larry marak Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 For those of you with a Big Lots store nearby, you might want to check their toy section for reduced price Lego. I just picked up 3 racer minisets and two creator minisets and the Penguin and Robin Batman set at a Big Lots for a total of $30, making the pricepoint 7.5 cents per element. Its always worth checking remainder stores, here in California those would be Big Lots, Ross Dress for Less, Marshall's, and Tuesday Mornings.
The Who Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Usually, my local Big Lots only has Megablocks Generic Brands. I'll probably stop by soon to check anyway.
KimT Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 And this has nothing to do with LEGO General Discussion and News, so I'll just move it outta here.
Modulex Guy Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Thanks for the heads up, I'll check my local Big Lots.
mania3 Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 I check there pretty often. Managed to find a few sets over the months. Got half of the Exo-Force line there actually. If I find these Batman sets I'll be a happy camper.
997s4ken Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Great. Im trying to stay out of stores these days. Well I must go look. Ill report back.
HumanPackMule Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 Worth a check. I just gotta finish getting my driver's license and some money.
Inconspicuous Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 I stopped by today at my local Big Lots. I got a $5 Mini Train Creator set for $3. Thanks for the heads up!

A real nice find. I never thought to look at Big Lots, I will check today, thanks for the tip.
The Alchemyst Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 I went today to the one in Athens, GA. Shame, they only had a bunch of the same Bionicle set from 2007, for $7. A sale, $10MSRP, but that set sold for half price for months on S@H last summer. So yea, it all depends on which Big Lots you go too. =/ [-TA-]

The Alchemyst Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Heh, Good old Matoro Mahri, the one that never seemed to sell out. :P If you ever stop by there, remember to post here if you find anything, I'd like to know. :D [-TA-]
Orangebrick Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Thanks for the tip OP! I went to a couple Big Lots in the LA area and managed to find a "Robin's Scuba Jet" set. Also saw the following: 4837 Mini Trains, 4838 Mini Vehicles, 4915 Mini Contruction, 6741 Mini Jet - $3 4995 Cargo Copter - $12 8698 Vultraz - Don't recall how much 4998 Stegosaurus - $30
Spyder Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 I have a Big Lots maybe a mile away from my house, but all they carry are a couple Bionicle sets. Still, I'll check it just to make sure. Thanks for the tip.
Apache Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Went to the 2 big lots near me in Phoenix Arizona, and both said they HAD had lego recently and they sell out within a Day. Sounds like a Lego Collector.
The Who Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 *Sigh* I was, unfortunately, right. Usually, my local Big Lots only has Megablocks Generic Brands. Only Bionicle stuff.

Go to the South Gate store on Lakewood for the large white Creator car set among others. I picked up the Creator Variable Wing fighter Creator set (who says TLG isn't a war toy company???) and a spring motor racer there yesterday. :-}
MrTools Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Also check any TJ-max or marshals for lego, a few months ago i got the batcave set on clerance for 25$ the UCS batmobile for 25$ and archam asylam for 35$. There isnt always LEGO at these two stores but when there is its usualy old sets that arent sold anymore
The Alchemyst Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Oh yes Marshalls. A year back they had 3 Arkham Asylums for less than $40 each. >.> Too bad I didn't get them. D: [-TA-]
posades Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Went to the only Big Lots around here but didn't find anything except for a Bionicle set (Mahra perhaps, is that a name of one? ) for $7. Wasn't really banking on finding anything there so I wasn't too upset about it.
