Lego City 2012 Advent Calendar $19.97 @ Barnes and Noble B&M , YMMV

Quote from 4ever : Here you go. Cheapest I could find the playmobil calendars was $16.50 at Kohls back in September. At $9.97, they make a great option for girls (and any boys who are not into star wars)

Thanks and Repped!

Thanks to the OP as well. I had to put in a hold request into three stores before one came back as in stock. The others said it couldn't be found in store. I called and had them add the forest and workshop playmobil advent to my order as well (they didn't have the princess). Thanks for the post about those. My kids will love getting to each open a door each day, and at these prices it is worth it for the pieces!

Quote from scotsdeal : i have done 2 lots of groupons with the bogo 50% off deal at 2 different TRU and had zero issues. g

Oh ok. The issue I heard was for price matches only I guess. Website doesn't show Lego Hobbits as the promo. Guess it's so new it's not showing up as part of the deal. Just look the ad. The Hobbit isn't on the exclusion list on page 3. Override will be required if I decide to get some... still resisting...

Quote from chiefy76 : I tried to put one on hold and it's telling me the price is $51.95. Did you guys get the right price in-store?

Quote from hmne : I'd like to know too I'd get one but not for $52!

My Lego City said full price on the page you request the hold on, but the pick-up confirmation email showed the 50% off price.

i thought about asking for price match and decided against it...for the smaller sets not really worth it.

My local Studio City store has them for $25.97. Wonder why they aren't $19.97.

Quote from scotsdeal : i picked up riddle of the ring yesterday at tru. got the catwoman superheroes set too and although the hobbit set shouldn't have been part of the bogo 50% i asked the cashier and he got it to go through. with my $20 groupon, both sets for $11.57. g

Could we still get the Groupon for B&N?

the groupon is for TRU and it has already been expired for a couple of days now.

Last time, I tried to pricematch at Toy R Us, they said they need physical paper ad because they need to keep it. Can it really be used in this case? What do you show them?

Does anyone know if this is as low as these LEGO advent calenders go? Or are they gonna clear them for lower price (or will they all be sold out by then lol) Thanks

Last year, there seemed to be a lot of the Star Wars Advents being sold for about $20 after the holidays, so my educated guess is that these are about the best prices you will see, plus or minus a few dollars.

as info, when i price matched the Lego Monster Fighters Ghost Train at $30 at TRU i brought a print out from the Target on-line ad. The manager stared at it for several looong seconds before approving. in this instance i doubt they would do it. no paper ad, nothing online to print out and it's probably considered clearance at 50% off.

worked for both sets on upper west side nyc ($19.97 for City and $25.97 for Star Wars). thx and repped!

Boo Another SD reserved 3 of them at my local B&N . Same thing happened with the staples Mobigo deal last year. So frustrating

are the other city items 50% off too?

Also, for people who got texts back, how long did it take? (I realize every store is different, just curious for others experiences)
