--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Both toy stores started a 25% off everything sale starting today till Friday.

Kaboodles has two locations one in Granville Island Kids Market and West 10th Avenue near UBC. The ToyBox is on West Broadway near MacDonald, near Kidsbooks.

I was hoping to find a Creator: Model Town House (the one in beige) at a discount. Anyone got a lead on this set?

Hi Chump,

Thanks for pointing out the sale.

I quickly poked my head into the ToyBox on West Broadway near MacDonald today and they had 2 of the Beige Model Town House Sets (4954). The regular price was $94.99, so i suppose the sale would be $71.24.

Thanks, I got one today. They must have had stock in the back because I didn't see it there the other day.

Do they have any lego star wars sets?? I don't want to go all the way to vancouver and then dissappoint my self when they don't have any star wars or indiana jones.

The Toybox had a few of the new Starwars sets on Friday. Not a lot of them though.

Do they have the separatist spider droid? I don't want to pay $40 for a $27 set. The box is the $27 ones. Its just the minifigures i like.

And i have seen most new lego star wars sets. But they are mostly V 19 Torrent and Magna Guard. These are seen at Zellers, Sears, Superstore, TRU.

Toysrus got all the good star wars sets
-Republic Attack Gunship
-AT TE
-Twilight
-Hoth Rebel Base
-X-Wing

Sales over as of today, so it's all a moot point. And to satisfy your curiousity, they did not have any Indiana Jones sets. How did you come up with wanting to pay $27?

Well, the box size and the pieces for the set is actually quite small. For a $40 set, its usually 270-350 pieces. But they only have 200 pieces. And most $27 sets are in the 150-230 pieces. Also, the box size is the $27 ones. There isn't really much building. I counted the pages and the AT-St has almost double the instructions then the separatist spider droid. Quite sad, its just the minifigures that would make people buy a rip off set.
