Lego 10% off Coupon - what are you using it for?

Post by atmail35 » Wed Jun 29, 2011 10:21 pm

What are you using your 10% off coupon for?

I'm debating on getting one of the following: Imperial Flagship, Fire Brigade or Pet Shop. I was leaning towards the Pet Shop since the only place I can get it is from the Lego Store. I still have a raincheck from TRU online for the B1G1 50% due to an issue I had w/ placing an order a few weeks back.

I know w/ B1G1 it is best to get 2 of the SAME priced item, but the FB is the only $150 set I really want. Getting the Imperial and the FB makes it about 22% off each, but both are still out of stock. I know the IF and FB are older so I really should spring for those first.

I'm curious what others would do in this situation. Originally I was going to wait until Black Friday for the Pet Shop. Please weigh in!

Out of the 3 you listed it would make sense to use it on Pet Shop.
Since you could get the flagship/FB combo at a better deal.

Since I most likely wont make it to a LEGO store, I have no idea what I would use it on.
I guess I might would try to get the Flagship.

I'm planning on using it on the Fire Brigade. If I'm able to go today, I could get the Fire Brigade for around 100$ and get the build-a-mini. If I were you I would get the Fire Brigade. I personally prefer the Pet Shop. But keep in mind that the Fire Brigade may retire soon. You may have around 3 years for the Pet Shop.

I agree that the Pet Shop will be around for a while. I'm also concerned if/when the IF and the FB will become available on TRU.com. I guess it is all a gamble! ;)

We also want QAR but it was sold out and I still think I might be able to find it cheaper at Target, Barnes & Noble or TRU.

I opted to buy the Imperial Flagship. $126.99 after 10% off and 35 in VIP rewards that I had been hoarding. I also had a merchandise credit and got the BAM pack free. Overall I'm happy. :)

Good choice since modular sets seem to get retired after xmas. you got the rest of the year for TRU to stock on FB.

Perosnally I would use it on the Petshop but all sets are great.
I am buying either Rock Star Mickey or dance star mickey for my niece. Legos for my son.

Has anybody living in Canada received the coupon, or the catalog, for that matter? I've received the previous two catalogs, but not the summer one; maybe it got caught up in the mail?

I've been wondering the same thing. I would love to use that 10% coupon on a new set.

I'm a believer that you can snag the FB and Petshop for a nice BOGO deal. I think you were smart to use it on the Imperial Flagship... that set rarely ever gets discounted.
I have mixed feelings about new releases: I can't wait to see and get the new sets... but I can't figure out where I'm gonna put them or store them.

I still haven't gotten mine. Should I be concerned? Also, for someone who has it, what is the expiration date?
