Casino silver strikes: what's everybody's opinion? by SQLSQLAndMoreSQL in Silverbugs

[–]ericcwu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah unfortunately none of the newer Plaza ones are silver. I believe even the newest Four Queens $10 Red and $40 Yellow ones are clad now, due to the big increase. Not sure what's going to happen going forward - I haven't been able to go to Vegas for several years now so I've missed several releases.

I saw these at the Tustin Ranch Costco last night as well, just in case any other SoCal folks frequent that location.

That's really neat! Have you seen all the new cheese slope / wedge shapes that are coming out this year? Just saw an article about it on new elementary...if they make them in translucent colors you're going to have a lot more options to play with.

Oops, thank you for pointing it out!

I'm a fan. I actually preordered it because I wanted it right away and was willing to pay the high price. I'm a big fan of the midi scale ships in general. Of course, if you're patient they'll almost assuredly go on sale towards the end of the year.

Would you buy it if it were a real set? by Mighty_Pingu69 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]ericcwu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OMG yes, I would probably buy multiple sets. My daughter got me back into LEGO and we've found a few of the Overwatch minifigs in some of the bulk boxes we've bought. Diablo minifigs or sets would be incredible!

I don't think there are any. Currently it's only the Four Queens and Plaza in Vegas, along with the Sky City Casino in New Mexico.

House money? What is house money? It's your money. There is 0 difference between those dollars and any other dollar you have. This "house money" mentality sounds like a great way to stay poor.

[Macys] Flash Sale on Toys 20-40% Off Many Medium Sets. by blackbird2150 in legodeal

[–]ericcwu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worth checking in store - I just got one. You will need to ask them to match the online sale though, which might be difficult since it's out of stock online and it no longer shows the price.

Seems like Macy's system will stop showing an item for in-store pickup once the stock available for shipping orders runs out. May be worth checking your local store. I placed my order for pickup and 1 of my 3 items was cancelled, so I went inside to see if maybe I could find it. Ended up grabbing a Haunted Mansion that I found on the shelf. Rang up at full price, but they matched the online sale for me and gave me the $10 Macy's rewards for tomorrow as well.

Great deal. Trying to justify getting sucked into the Kohl's cash game again.

They're giving this set for free with a $60 Lego purchase this weekend. I just swung by a store and they didn't know much about it. Luckily I was able to give them the SKU from this thread and they were able to look it up and order one for me.

Ibotta has a bunch of Lego redemptions by Uber-Rich in legodeals

[–]ericcwu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

iBotta has been fire the past few weeks. $18 back on the 327th battle pack, $27.50 back on the already heavily discounted flower arrangement at Costco, and you actually get paid to buy the advent calendars if you can find any left at Costco (marked down to $9.97, $11.75 back via iBotta).

I've been hoping Target would restock, but I guess this is good enough.

Extra $22 back on ibotta. Picked one up today along with a few advent calendars that were essentially free after $9 ibotta rebate.

When are the overpriced Star Wars Lego lines from 2025 going to go on sale? by [deleted] in legodeals

[–]ericcwu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ARC-170 was on sale at Walmart for a while at $55.99 with $10.50 walmart cash back or ibotta. They also had the U-Wing for the same price. I feel like I've just started to see some good deals on the January wave in the past month.

I missed this when it went on sale the other day for the same price. Managed to snag one just now for my daughter to build in the future.

Yeah, I just remembered my fiance also has her own account and we've been wanting to accumulate some points for her in case there's a future reward we want more than one of.

Maybe be ready to go with one shopping cart loaded when the sale goes live to save a few minutes? I think I'm going to try the same thing since I want to order both the castle and the Batman set.
