And of course, the Barrie store wouldn't have the T-6 shuttle... :(

The ad says "up to 50% off". Besides the three on the website (7879, 7962 and 10215) that were 50% off, were the other 3 in fact 50% off as well?

Yes they are, these are the six on for 50% off, and also the sale on for two weeks till they are sold out. The best one is the Hoth Echo Base since it is an exclusive to Lego Store and Toys R Us only. 10215 we will see it at 60+% off next if the second time around of 50% off still do not sell. Actually I should say more than 50% off since it is already lowered by Toys R Us, reg at Lego Store was something like $129.

I just checked in-store on my lunch break at the Langley BC location lol They had lots of Echo base and Podrace sets, shelves were full! But those were the only two sets I saw at 50% off.. And no I didn't buy any, still kicking the tires on these. Even at $60 plus tax I'd have to sit on these for quite a while to see any gains in the future.. (this is from an investing perspective). Neither of these sets really appeal to be from a building/displaying perspective.

This is the second time the 10125 went additiional 50% off so I don't think they would go lower than that even if there are leftovers. Whoever the buyer was at toysrus who bought palettes of these should be fired. lego probably offered them a great deal to dump these.

I just randomly walked into the TrU at Sherway in Toronto around 10:30am.. I didnt know about the sale, and I was very shocked to see ANY Lego at 50% off.. I have never seen that before!

They had about 12 Echo Bases, and 12 Anakin & Sebulba's Podracers, Two Obi-wan's Starfighter and Two Sith Infiltrators.

Picked up 2 of each, and one of the Starfighters (other had a pretty scuffed up box).
I would have bought ALL the Echo Bases if money infact, did grow on trees!

Too bad they didnt have any T6 Shuttles. That set was WAY overpriced at RRP, but 1/2 price would have been nice :)

THey are probably all gone now.. but if anybody is nearby, it is worth popping in!

Anyone in Winnipeg get a chance to check out the stock?

I'll check St. James in the morning, hope they have decent sets left. I missed out on the Y-wing during Boxing Week. Guess I'll wait to go stateside for that one.

worth getting at 50% off - it has 1000 pieces. Also 4 out of the 5 minifigs are unique to the set. bought one today but should have bought 2!

The podracers set is a dud based on the market so far. Unfortunately I bought some way back so did not want to add to the pile. Nobody wants to pay alot for this set. Happened with the original podracers set too. $90US msrp and it was selling on ebay for $40-60 misb

Does anybody know of any TrU in the GTA or even a bit further that has any Frigates left?

Regent Avenue had lots of everything except the T-6 Shuttle. I went in the morning and then went back at the end of the day and it looked like nothing had been touched. They had at least 10 Frigates and nobody was buying them. I did pick up 2 Hoth sets which was all that interested me as I have 2 frigates already. Polo Park had less stock and no Frigates.

Walmart on Regent is renovating and had some great Lego deals today. Prices were 50-60 % off. Picked up 2 v-wings for $10 each and 2 Jabbas Palace for $75 each.
