Lego advent calendar @ Target

[piratemamaof3]

Not sure where to put this it's not completly budget but I know I have seen people looking for these before.

I was at my Target the other day and they had the lego advent calendar out for $30. That's an average price for them. I got the last one on the shelf. Not sure if that was b/c people were buying them or they only stuck one or two on the shelf to hold the spot while they stocked. They go quick usually.

Thank you for posting this. I had never heard of these until I read about them on the Budget Board and I know my DS8 would LOVE this!!

Is it the Lego City?

It does not list what is in it but from the content list it does look like you get 8 people then it makes small things like a mini-car, tree, snowman...

I believe only Lego City is being released in the US. Borders had them and there was a 30% off coupon last week. If you join Border's (free) membership club you get a 20% off coupon you can use one it

Thank you both for the info. I'll check out the one at Target - it sounds really cute, and doesn't sound like the Lego City (I believe it would say it on the front of the box).

I just went to the Border's website - the closest one to me is about 45 minutes away and is a Waldenbooks. I am assuming that they are one and the same (Waldenbooks and Borders) and that is a really good deal!

I have also been to the Lego website and see where you can order the Lego City Advent Calendar there, too (it's the only Advent calendar listed). It is around $30, plus S&H of $6.95. I like the Borders deal much better.

I just have to decide which one DS would like best!

They are both the City one. I believe the pirate on is UK only.

I'm gonna try for the Pirate one. Just found out my SIL's brother just got a job wokring for Lego corporate ! They think it's 50% off retail and can get special things. Yay !

I bought one earlier this week from barnesandnoble.com . if you are a member, you get 10% off, plus they frequently email 15% discounts. I got it for under $23 with free shipping and received it two days later.

How do I get the 40% off? Do I sign up for their emails or something?

I figured it out. Thanks!

ETA, now I just have to hope my store has them and I have to get there without DS in tow!

I would like to know as well. I would love to get the Lego calendar but I don't want to pay full price.

Borders on 145 had none out on the shelves (with the calendars). When I asked where they were a salesman went into the back and pulled out about 10 of them. I got 1. Hopefully there are more left....if not, just ask, they might have more in the back!

Sweet! I'm headed there now!

Can anyone use this coupon?

Never mind, I just read the coupon, and it says "Valid with Borders Reward membership only". Oh well.

Ugh ~ my nearest Borders is an hour away - I have one on hold ~ I have family and friends up there so perhaps one of them will stop by and pick it up for me. They'll hold it till close time tomorrow! Dang it all last Sat. night I drove right by it!

Thanks, I didn't know that. I'll sign up.

I got one with the coupon! Yippee!! My Borders had them displayed with the calendars, not the Legos, in case anyone is looking for them!

My Borders did not have the Lego calendar but it did have the Playmobil one - with little woodland creatures -
after the 40% discount it was $14.99. We set it aside to give to the kids after Thanksgiving dinner. Thanks to the person who posted about the coupon!
