Was at the PNE last Saturday and they were located in front of the colosseum at gate 4. Lots of kids playing with Lego.

Was in the Lego Store in Oakridge today and noticed several Monster Fighters sets marked down 20%. They were all smaller sized boxed sets.

As a side note, they have dark red 1x2 bricks on the PAB wall too.

If there are any doubts you can look here: http://stores.lego.com/en-us/stores/ca/guildford/

Finally, a good reason to take the kids back to Science World or the PNE.

Creator Prehistoric Hunters #6914 $11.98 with current sale of 15% off brings it down to $10.18. That's almost 50% off of the MSRP! Showing only 4 in stock. Free shipping starts at $20.

Not much of a set but might be useful for the parts, http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=6914-1.

I've been hearing bits and pieces about the redevelopement of Oakridge for awhile now. Hard to believe it use to be an outdoor mall. My mom would take me there when I was a kid. I wonder if they'll keep the fountains like before.

Have any of you had a negative experiences while ordering from US Lego S&H with parcels being shipped to Parcel 2 Parcel (Point Roberts), Hagens of Blaine, or any other third party shipping vendor? Over at the Redflagdeals forum there is mention of this and I've shared the same problem with a recent...

Thanks for the info Pierre. I'll check it out with my kids on Monday.

Love the new set and how it opens sideways with hinges. Makes it nicer for playability with multiple floors instead of the top down method like in the modular buildings. Buildings have to be narrower of course but you can use all the levels at once instead of lifting and stacking them back on. A $20...

went in today, hoping to spend the coupon + $5 VIP pts... looking to buy modular building..the corner shop or petshop all sold out Then thought, maybe get the avengers sets.. again... all sold out ended up buying xmen set with magnets and coasters to get hulk figure EVERYTIME I walk into lego, its ...

I got there with my 2 kids around 9:30 AM and the line up was all the way out to the Scotia Bank as mentioned. By the time we got up to Purdy's where the lineup snaked up and down there were only 20 or so promo sets left and probably 80+ people still waiting to get in the door. The guy behind me wen...

Van's PaB wall is smaller than NYC, Bellevue and Portland. The store footprint is also ambler than the other three I have been to. but size doesn't really matter, right? After all, you can get a giant box of Mega blocks for $50... What bugs me is paying $20/cup instead of $15. That hurts cause PaB ...

The male cashier on the left looks like one of the cashiers from the Tigard/Portland store.

If your TRU doesn't have stock, grab the flyer and head off to another store that will price match like Zellers (spend $50+ get a $10 gift card), Superstore, Walmart or Sears as all of the sale prices are listed in the flyer.

Checked out the Lego store with my wife and 4 month old Zoey Friday morning and they certainly have their share of curious onlookers and shoppers. I walked away empty handed since I didn't have the time to pack away a PAB cup but I did see an experienced Lego packer (Allan Corbeil?) explaining his t...

I'll be there Friday morning to check out the new store. I'm going to bring in my large PAB cup and refill it and see if they give a discount for re-using a cup.

I saw the red train at the Broadway location on Saturday when I took the kids to the in-store Easter bunny and Duplo chickadee build. Certainly was some nice white pieces from the bunny (curved slopes, 1x2 brick with studs on 2 sides, and tiles).

JamesH wrote:The TRU on Broadway had 3-4 sets of World Racers Blizzards peak (8863) on for 1/2 price.

TRU in Lansdowne has a bunch of these as well.

Was as Brentwood Mall today and noticed both Sears and London Drugs had some Lego sales. Sears had the better selection but there really wasn't very much at all. The 2 sets I saw at Sears I remember were Cars Flo's V8 Cafe ~$60 and City Police Dog Unit ~$14. London Drugs seems to be clearing out a l...

Have you forgotten there's free shipping right now?

I use these type of drawers for bulky items. They can usually be had on sale for around $10. http://s7d5.scene7.com/is/image/CanadianTire/0423012_1?$medium$&defaultImage=image_na_EN For smaller items I like the smaller top drawers in these. http://s7d5.scene7.com/is/image/CanadianTire/0424238_1?$med...

Maybe I can convince the wife to head out that way today. That set has a nice collection of tiles and bricks along with the baseplate.

That's so sweet your mom thinks about you whenever she sees Lego. Now if only all moms were like that.

Saw a post on RFD about Heroica going for $1.98 so took the wife to check it out but didn't see any. I did see #3843 Ramses Pyramid for $15 (MSRP $40). The tan baseplate is probably worth $4 so the remaining pieces average ~5 cents each (217 piece set). There was lots of stock. #3853 Banana Balance ...

Is it available on IPAD? It'd be a good platform to try out the game.. also for my 8 year old son who is quite curious about it and has been bugging me about it :P He heard about it somehow?! I suck at trying to figure how to work an emulator or unzip files.. so hoping for something easy :) The Nin...
