I received a large box from Walmart that had the Grand Emporium inside plus the 'crumpled brown paper' packing material mentioned above. No problems with the box though - it arrived in good shape - though it could move around a bit inside. Sorry for those of you with the shipping nightmares above. p...

I tried to get that price matched, and they said no ... twice. So I guess they meant it. I even sent them the links and they just ignored the $80.43 price. (It was $90.43 for the past few days, actually, and for a while it was the only entry showing in the Walmart.com online store.) I got a price ma...

I saw them both, but one was $108 and the other was $111. Then, a few moments later they changed again. Now both listings showing in search are $111. Edit: Then I logged out of my Walmart account, and closed the browser and did the search again, and there are two entries for the GE still, but the pr...

The prices are still changing on the out of stock pages. Up until a few minutes ago, the price for the Grand Emporium showed $90.48. It showed that price all morning, though it was out of stock again when I first checked this morning . So I sent an email to customer service to price adjust my order ...

Ok, I'm not asking for an explanation for an inexplicable phenomenon such as Walmart pricing algorithms, but... How do the prices for the Pet Shop or the Fire Brigade drop to $107-ish from $111-ish while they're both out of stock? http://www.walmart.com/ip/LEGO-Pet-Shop/17353275?findingMethod=rr&quo...

Both Lego Winter sets are out of stock (though the post office was available earlier this morning, I'm not sure the bakery was ever). Amazing. I'm so surprised. Sarcasm off. Although TRU has about 15 of every set in every local store, even sets from years ago, they're always mysteriously out of stoc...

oh, I did...

my wife said, "all your Lego's are belong to us."
really, that's what she said. she's also the one who found the stash behind the bikes.
But when I asked her what she wanted to do with her 3.5 Frigates, she just laughed at me.

My haul from the Chicago Walmart on North Ave at Cicero... Seven 7964 Republic Frigates at $30 each. (wow, 75% off) Three 7965 Millennium Falcon's at $65 each (53% off). Even a 7962 Anakin Skywalker and Sebulba's Podracers at $40 (55% off). I've been checking stock at local Walmart's and I noticed t...

I found two open turbo tanks at a local Chicago Walmart which scanned at $45. Both open with trashed boxes, so you just knew they'd been raided. However, I checked the first one and - pow, all bags there, all figures there including stickers and both instruction booklets. The second didn't fare so w...

The Ford City Target (on south Cicero in Chicago) has one Bounty Hunter Gunship left, and 5 or 6 POTC Cannibal Escape on clearance. I bought a T-6, a Bounty Hunter Gunship, and a random AC set there.
Still haven't found a fabled MF on clearance yet... and I've been to 5 Targets now...

Went to three Targets yesterday, no MF on clearance - all full price. I even asked the associate to scan with their PDA, confirmed not on clearance. So this is very store dependent. I did see a few alien sets with good clearance prices at the Chicago Petersen store. The associate could check stock i...

Man, I would have really liked to get an Emperor's shuttle and Mace Windu set. Anyone selling? :) to Pokerfool: I have an extra Mace Windu and/or a Plo Koon that I'd happily trade for a Slave I (throwing in some cash to even anything out on my part). to solo606 (who PMed me): Apparently I can't sen...

just back. and as some of the above folks found: in stock on line and none in store. foiled again! lol
this has been fun, running around like a lego junkie...just ONE MORE set.

For those of you looking for a Slave I, but don't want to drive around hoping for the best... I'm sure most of you have seen that the Slave I has been removed from the Walmart online database (if you attempt to use their search engine). I did the following search via Google, "walmart slave I,&...

In the Chicago area, the Rolling Meadows Walmart (1460 Golf Rd) had 3 HP Burrow sets, a bunch of Freeing Dobby sets, and a lot of Star Wars Advent calendars. The Elk Grove Village Walmart (801 Meacham Rd) had 9 Mace Windus. This is all as of about 6pm tonight. I snagged a Hoth Wampa set for under $2...

I'd love to find a Slave I, but I can't find stock online and the two Walmart's I went to today didn't have any. Does anyone know of stock somewhere near Chicago? I don't know how far you are willing to travel, but there was one left at the Vernon Hills WM a couple hours ago. It was in the clearanc...

I stopped there earlier today, but didn't see it. Was it in the clearance section, or the main lego section? Thanks for the tip!
