Saw like two left at a zellers I went to today, the pieces to price count is nice but still the set is not that appealing to me even at $30, mainly I just don't like the mini figures that comes with the set, also this is like the forth time they have made this, and it looks like the last one alot.

Came back empty handed. I was surprised to see the City Airport at Zellers, but the box was heavily beat up and taped back together, I wonder if there is a discount for such condition. I only noticed the set after a guy picked it up and kept it in his hands. I checked back on him a few times hoping he would let go, but nope. So I gave up and left. LOL

I went to 2 zellers and both stores had random sets, big and small left over.
The shelves were mostly clear and messy.

The 2 stores almost had no sets overlapped, completely different selection but I ended up buying Alien Conquest DHQ for $60!

I saw some Naboo Fighters too, but I didn't pick one up; it's amazing that even at half price Naboo Fighter still feels overpriced!
I have to disagree and think $30 is appropriate for this set. Cannot be any cheaper!
At $30 it is a steal given today's pricing structure! It's a nifty set for that price. Even below 10 Cent a piece as it has 318 pieces... would recommend the set for $30!
I wasn't planning to get the Naboo Starfighter, but you people convinced me (and I don't have a Destroyer Droid) so I grabbed one today. :lol: The set does not appeal to me at all but I'll see how the build is like and if its any different from the last version.

Since its limited edition, max regular price I was expecting would be $50 like Mace Windu's Jedi Starfighter and Battle for Geonosis. Really, it should be $40 to begin with. How can LEGO even sell this at $60? All common minifigures except for a Destroyer Droid and a Naboo Pilot thats not highly sought after.

Mainly the license fee and the special edition tag, most of the star wars sets are over priced anyway.

None to be found - probably retired now... (I checked 3 Zellers in North/Central Ontario). :down:
If you are in Toronto, the Zellers in Finch and Warden had one or two bank money transfer and2 fishing boat there. I picked up the log cabin and bank money transfer. Now I will see if I can find the space launch center or city harbour set.

Unfortunately I am in BC, but my local Zellers has many Space Centres and Harbours.

Heading back to Zellers today to see if they've re-stocked yet. I'm looking for the Harbour, Log Cabin, or any Kingdom sets. So far I've used the coupon many times, but not yet on Lego.

I wish the Zellers near me had better selection, but I was able to use the coupon to get Pirates code for $7.50. (Interesting side not, the cashier had no idea how much it was supposed to cost. She knew I was entitled to the 25% off clearance items and the 50% off coupon, but couldn't do the math on a $20 item. 25 off $20 is $15, and 50% of 15 is $7.50.)

I too am hoping for a restock, as I saw some of the Super Hero and Dino sets at Walmart today. (Fingers crossed for Super Heroes!)

Went to Zellers again today. The store I went to in Mississauga had several Kingdoms Carriage Ambush sets, the city powerboat transporter, many space stations, and a couple of Log cabins. I was hoping to see some 2012 sets but no luck.

Coool, I got 7947 - Prison Tower Rescue, the last kingdom at my store. I tough everything would be empty. But in Quebec City there are plenty of big City Sets left

Coupon has been removed from the Zellers Facebook page. Let's hope they don't do that with the pdf. file as well. So if you are planning to use more, hurry and print before they are all gone.

My Zellers is still tapped, just stuff I don't want mostly. They do however have one Bank and Money Transfer, but even at 50% off that set seems kinda expensive. :X

It's an interesting set though. At 50% off it's really not that bad... it's below the 10 Cent a piece mark with the coupon :-D

My Zellers is almost bare of large sets. Nothing LEGO really worth getting.

So at a Zellers I went to today, I found the Naboo Fighter....then I found out it was $60....WHAT? Even at half price it was ridiculous IMHO.

Thanks for the tip. Managed to grab the last Jedi Shuttle and Ninjago monster truck thing.
