The Official RFD LEGO General Discussion Thread
Prime Day Hauls Many users shared their Prime Day LEGO purchases. Namelessone got the A-Frame Cabin and Indiana Jones Plane Chase from Amazon, the Camping Adventure set from LEGO, and the Dark Falcon set from Costco. Ced2334 only got the Indiana Jones golden idol set, wanting to save for Black Friday deals. DaBauz also got the Boutique hotel and Camping Adventure sets from LEGO. Godrack purchased the Black Falcon, C3PO, Desert Skiff, and Jedi Bob with Indiana Jones golden idol using a Walmart code.
Lack of Deals and Clearance Some users reported disappointing experiences at Walmart stores in the US, with no clearance items or significant sales. Djemzine noted that new sets were priced the same after currency conversion, with the good deals already picked clean. Namelessone agreed that deals in the US are often about luck, with the best items gone quickly.
Saving for Black Friday Several users, like VicRav and brickmill, decided to skip Prime Day and save their money for Black Friday instead. They hope to find better deals then on their LEGO wishlists. Namelessone explained that in Canada, there is no "Black Friday" in October, only the main Black Friday event in November, which tends to have better sales than Boxing Day.
Growing LEGO Addiction Some users, like mynameispepe, are just starting their LEGO collecting journey. They shared hauls including the Venator and Millennium Falcon sets from Costco, the Dark Falcon, Forest Stronghold, Harry Potter Hogwarts: Dumbledore's Office, and several LEGO City sets for their son. Namelessone joked about the need to sell organs to pay off the credit card bills.
Recent LEGO Sales and Deals Godrack shared that LEGO is currently offering 20% off and 2x VIP points on select sets, including the Nintendo System and Hogwarts Express. Radagast007 wondered if they should get the NES set now with the 2x VIP and a bakery GWP, or wait for a potential Costco sale. Namelessone noted that the Venomized Groot is 30% off and the Royal Clamshell is 40% off on LEGO.ca, though the GWP is not very exciting.
Overall, the thread shows a mix of LEGO enthusiasts, from those carefully budgeting for the best deals to newcomers getting swept up in the hobby. The discussion covers recent sales, clearance hunting, and strategies for maximizing savings on the popular building sets.
