Ps. If your local stores are out of 50% lines, there were some Racers and Alien Conquest sets listed as in stock on the tru.ca website (at 50%) this morning. Couldnt find any Atlantis or Pharao's Quest, unfortunately.

^The only downside is that you won't get the Minifig set or the free poly bag.

Quite busy in-store but it's to be expected with this kind of sale.

Of course, good point. Just figured that 50% off for these sets is such a good deal, someone might want to go online to get in on it if they are all sold out in stores.

Hit TRU in Burlington and picked up 2 sphinxes and a UFO set. They only had Sphinxes for PQ, but they had a fair number of the AC sets - although there was a guy there clearing out most of the stock. Hopefully he was an AFOL and not a reseller. I didn't see any Atlantis or TS... all of the small racer sets were gone, might have big some big ones but didn't really look.
LEGO, it's not just a toy, it's an addiction... ;)

Picked up SW Battle of Endor Anniversary Edition #8038 for only $102 (20% off $140 - $10 Pizza Pizza coupon).

http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=8038-1

Glad the taxes were applied on the after-coupon price of $102.

So I'm happy I scored a discontinued set for just about US MSRP and got the free Vintage Minifigs as well as the MF Zombie Chauffeur. (plus got another 20% off using my Memberworks discounted GC's :-D )

For the AC sets, do they only have the UFO and the Headquater Set, or they have all of them in stock? It seem like almost all Toys R Us in my area only have those 2 sets still in stock and are out of stock for the smaller AC sets.

Went to Cedarbrae Mall TRU and scored a Portal of Atlantis (8078) for $45, was expecting it to be $65 since the tag said $129.99. It was the only one they had. Also picked up a Slave I (8097) for $87.97 (after 20% off). There was one more after I left. They also had Rise of the Sphinx (7326), Blizzard's Peak (8863), Typhoon Turbo Sub (8060), Alien Mothership (7065) and Deep Sea Striker (8076) which got cleaned out pretty quick.

Seems like all LEGO Star Wars sets are 20% off. X-Wing Starfighter is 22% off as they set their regular price as $64.99 rather than $74.99.

Were there any 50% off sets at the store you visited?

Sorry Legobrandon, I didn't visit any stores. Just checked the online site and saw that most sets were 20% off except Imperial Shuttle. Though, I don't recall seeing much of the 50% off sets from Metrotown last week.

It is currently $58.88 at any Walmart for those looking for just the X-Wing set.

Only a few AC sets left in Kingston store if you're looking for 50% off.

lots of AC earth defense HQ sets at newmarket ON and a couple at woodbridge ON.
however, at newmarket tru, no vintage sets and only one polybag left as of Saturday 1pm so only bought the $60 AC set to get the second last polybag

and at woodbridge, I got the last vintage vol 4 set at around Saturday 3pm; however had to force myself to buy two sw calendars to get past $75 and went through checkout twice (as the first said there were no more and I did not trust her). I got the coffin car at newmarket so I asked the woodbridge if I could have the ghost polybag from last week's promotion and they obliged!

in the end, from purchases and one trade, got all volumes of the vintage sets and all polybags from the 4 brictober weeks, only regret buying one set to get these promotions so will try to refund or price adjust as they forgot to scan the free items in the receipt.

Is there another set as part of Bricktober next week or will there be something else?
