Does this event include Express locations?

Didn't say in the flier but from previous events, express locations were excluded.

Like the TRU sale two weeks ago, the Emerald Night is again on sale despite not being advertised on the sales page. If you missed it in the previous sale like I did, this is a good chance to pick it up before it gets discontinued. They had 8 as of 1:36 PM, after I picked one up.

Tower Bridge also has a discount applied at the moment. Regularly $300, it has 20% intact at the moment (1:54pm EST) to bring it down to $240.

EDIT: Ditto Maersk Train. Go go go.

EDIT #2: I found a few more sets that have the same 20% off still attached. Some of them you can't even search for it on the site, but because they were under my "recently viewed" list on their website, it appeared and I was able to click the link. Here are the direct URLs. As of 2:14pm EST, these 4 are in stock still.

10219 Maersk Train

10214 Tower Bridge

10199 Winter Toy Shop

10194 Emerald Night (credit goes to autobrick; ignore what I originally said about Emerald Night's link originally not working, now it is.)

Whoa, didn't notice Maersk Train was also on sale, I just picked one up (Thanks, Toronadian). Strange how they are not on the '20% off' promotion page, nor do they come up in searches. Very sneaky...

I just got an email today telling me that my order couldn't be processed. Gave them a call, originally the CSR said it was because of my payment info not matching up with the CC that was used to pay for it. I said that's really unlikely considering I've used that same card to make my order. He then mentioned that they were aware that the order was made during the time when the pricing was wrong (which he then said on their website they reserve the right to cancel orders if it was during price-error situations) so that was also a possibility in the order being canceled. He did give me an option of ordering the set again at full-price ($154.99), but a $25 credit-back immediately after my order. That works out to:

154.99 x 1.13 - 25 = 150.14

That compares to when they had the Maersk Train at 20% off: (154.99 x 0.8) x 1.13 = 140.11

Sure it's still nice to have the train at $150.14 but that's still over $10 more plus I'm willing to wait it out until the next sale I guess (I do want this set but as high as it is up my list, there are a couple other sets I want more).

Different outcome this time in what happened when compared to their pricing error previously a week ago, where I ordered Shuttle Adventure at 20% off and they still processed and shipped it. Oh well...I guess will save me some money (albeit, I would likely be not as happy with my order being canceled if I had not been able to get my Shuttle Adventure from last week's order). Will wait for the next Creator sale (where it will likely be out of stock right before the sale again).

20% is not the biggest deal so I wouldn't worry too much. On the bright side, the set is still new so there will be many chances for it to go on sale. ;)

That being said, I look forward to any of their Buy 2 or 3 and Save a certain % off sales as those never work out right. I know its a hassle to call and complain to them to get 30% off, but it does make many of the prices much more reasonable and closer to US MSRP.

Maersk Train
($154.99 X 0.7) X 1.12 tax = $121.51

I really want that train but I really cannot justify paying $173.59 ($154.99 X 1.12) for it. :(

Strangely enough, they didn't cancel my order and I received both the Maersk Train and Emerald Night on Tuesday. TRU works in mysterious ways.
