Month: January 2015

I stopped by the LEGO Store Flatiron District again today, and took note of all of their sale items. The most tempting was the Cargo Terminal for around $65. Oh, and the little Dracula Halloween set for $2.

I stopped by the LEGO Store Flatiron District in NYC today, and got to see a lot of the 2015 sets, including the Valentines Day set. The store makes a big deal about the history of the building it is within, with a wall chart of the history, and large brick-built dioramas above the shelves.

There was a Friend’s racetrack that I had never seen before, as well as a super-sized brick-built Gandalf figure.

I stopped by the LEGO Store in Rockefeller Center today. The only notable item were the now “old” green baseplates still available, at a “sale” price of about $5. These are mostly sold out everywhere else, and the new baseplates are a brighter shade of green, and now fetch $7.99 each, I believe.

It seems that Target had mis-priced one of the new LEGO Justice League sets — 76028: Darkseid Invasion — as $59.99, instead of MSRP of $69.99. I found one today, and got to see the rest of the Justice League sets, plus Minecraft, in the store.

As for post-holiday sale markdowns, they had a very slight discount on some sets. I never understand a sale strategy like this – these sets will be bumped around the sale aisle for weeks, just getting more and more damaged.
