Walmart - Red Balloon Revisited

After checking out the sad selection on Friday in Lodi, California's Walmart, I wasn't very hopeful that more clearance items would appear, but I was pleasantly surprised. From my blurry photo, you can see all the newer items added either yesterday or today. Hopefully the clearance extends beyond tonight. Here's a list of the highlights:

• Alien Conquest - UFO Abduction (7052) - $21 (Reg. $30)
• Alien Conquest - Alien Mothership (7065) - $30 (Reg. $60)
• City - Marina (4644) - $25 (Reg. $50)
• Creator - Lighthouse Island (5770) - $30 (Reg. $40)
• Creator - Log Cabin (5766) - $15 (Reg. $30)

The Star Wars set at the bottom of the photo was still over $100, so if it was discounted, it wasn't by much.

Walmart - Red Balloon Clearance Event

Walmart is having a Red Balloon Clearance event going on right now claiming some items are 50% off, including select toys. It's worth a look to see if your local Walmart has any deals on Lego.
Lodi's Walmart had a Star Wars Bounty Hunter Assault Gunship (7930) for $35. Not much else going on there.

Stockton's Walmart had a few Holiday Wreath (30028) polybags for $2.00.

The Series 5 minifigs mentioned in Stockton a couple of days ago were cleared out.

Walmart - Lego Series 5 Minifigures on Clearance

What you'll find on clearance will vary from each location, but it's often worth a look to see if yours has a similar deal. The Walmart in Stockton, CA today had over 2 & 1/2 boxes of Series 5 Minifigures on clearance for $1 each. The top shelf had a complete box not yet unfolded for display, but the tape sealing the sides had been cut. If you were holding out for a deal on minifigures, it doesn't get much cheaper than this.

Target's Trash Becomes Goodwill's Treasure

If anyone follows the clearance deals at Target, you'll see they often drop prices in phases. Some of the Lego sets I had my eye on were the $100 Portal of Atlantis (8078) and the Pharaoh's Quest Scorpion Pyramid (7327). They started off at 15% ($84.99), then dropped to 30% ($69.99) and finally down to 50% off ($49.99). I bought one of each hoping to see a 70% off, but they disappeared from shelves before hitting that low.

Come to find out, they're sent elsewhere at that point and I checked the local Goodwill and there they were for $30. The pro to Goodwill is there's no tax. The con is that they tear the original price stickers off and write the new price on the box with a Sharpie.

Welcome to the Lego Shopping blog

Here I plan to share sales and deals I run across online or in person when shopping for Legos. It's well known Legos aren't cheap, but you can save a lot of money if you find a good deal. So, be sure to bookmark this site and check back before buying some Lego sets.
