Yellow cargo train has been bouncing between $159 and $119 today at Walmart.com here:

Got it for $119 (34% off), but it seems to jump back and forth, (make sure it has the lower price in your cart) good luck :)
I can't get it to stay the $119. When I go to check out it bumps up to $159.

Hmm, maybe close your browser and delete your cache? I had to try several times to update to $119.41 in my cart. I have no idea why Walmart.com prices are so jumpy. I hope the new price will eventually hit $119 (but I can't be sure, so I wanted to let the readers here know, just in case).

P.S. the Fire Brigade is showing in-stock again at $118. (edit - out of stock again)

I think it's a great set, and for $118, it's fantastic. It includes the most track of any set plus 2 switches. I once thought I would cannibalize it for my Maersk, but I couldn't bring myself to do it because it's a cool looking engine, so I just got the extra motorized parts.

my orders have been processing for 2-3 days now
I had an order of 4 PS over the weekend that sat for a couple of days. Notified today that two had shipped and two were on backorder. Yet, this thread says that PS came back into stock after the backorder email.

All of my modular orders have shipped (last ordered a few days ago). I'm sorry to hear some are going on backorder.

I noticed all of the modulars just jumped back up in price at Walmart.com $149 - $160 (all OOS), wonder if they will stay there.

FB - $150
GE - $150
PS - $149
TH - $160 (now 20% off)

It was fun while it lasted!! Congrats to everyone that got something, and condolences to those who were hosed by the dreaded OOS messages as you put something into your cart!

BTW, just got an email that my GE shipped. Still waiting to hear about my TH.

PS is back in stock at $148, so hopefully that is good news for any who had it backordered. (like me!)

So many things to cross your fingers for, that it actually ships, that it doesnt get beat to crap by fedex. :roll:

With this kind of sale in early October, I wonder what Black Friday will bring. Are Lego retail prices and small percent decreases no longer the norm? Was there a Lego inflation bubble, and has it burst? What could explain these very early, pre-holiday fire sales from Walmart, Amazon, et al?

Am I the only one that searches Walmart and gets excited for a microsecond when I see way out of stock things like the Emerald Night still listed for $99 :-D

There's at least one Tower Bridge for $194 online right now. I had it in my cart, and then decided I didn't need it (even though it's a great deal), and removed it. Hope one of you gets it.

Me too :), but reality finally hit me, so I got it in the aftermarket. :/

It looks like the party is mostly over, of the exclusives are back to regular price, and the few things that are on sale are not as deeply discounted

Well as of this weekend everything that I ordered throughout the week has shipped, including items that came back into stock for 1-2 minutes at a time. Good luck to everyone else who got their orders in.
