Wow, really? It must be a regional thing. Here all the 2009 sets are still on WM shelves, and not clearanced, though all the remaining 2008 sets were clearanced some months ago.

A few specially tagged sets are 30% off.
I figured only the ones pictured in the ad were 30%, but I made the rare Sunday trip to TRU to find out what the other sets were going for. TRU's mark-up on certain sets tends to negate any benefits of getting them on "sale" there, so I try to be knowledgeable about MSRP and careful about what I buy at TRU.Edward The Head said:I was able to pick up the Venice set and Airplane duel set today. They way the ad made it look they were supposed to be 30% off and I was a bit mad that they were only 15%. Well at least I got them, now I just need to find the Temple of Doom set and I think I have them all. I haven't been keeping up with the Lego all that much so I hope I didn't miss any. I did however have a $10 off coupon if I spent $100 or more and the two sets made it easier.
You mean other than the satisfaction of owning a complete set? I may not get the rest of the bricks if they don't have any decent sales in the coming weeks. Had this 15% sale run for the entire month, I might buy a set a week. Otherwise I'm not paying TRU's mark-up just to get a few free Duplo blocks.Does having all four brinks net you anything?

SS Indy said:A toy store over here in The Netherlands had two sets (Venice Chase and Cemetery Battle) in the bargain bins for half price!
A few of the Hasbro figures were in there too.
Anyone else find any good deals in The Netherlands, or anywhere in Europe?
EddyW said:What stores in the Netherlands? I take it there weren't any Last Crusade Hasbro figures right? I found a LC indy at Toys-R-Us some time ago, but that's all of the LC line I've seen here.
