My lego store haul from last night:

3 Free Holiday Sets
1 Free tote bag (don't know what this is, but it was free so ok lol)
5 Free PAB boxes (they were too nice)
1 Free TC-14 (They were way way too nice)
2 Kingdoms Chess (Need figs for kingdoms battle scene)
1 Geonesian Cannon (20% off damaged box, used to get over $100, cool commander green)
1 Minifig Display Case (50% off and a cool blue spaceman)
1 Rock Band pack (cool rock band for my city, gonna MOC a concert arena)
1 Brick Calendar (got them for the 2 series 1 cmf figs)
and the best....drumroll please.....
2 complete brand new, unopened cases of CMF series 8, yes 2 cases of 60 figs...

Total out the door with tax and 10% scratcher $320....definitely a good trip :)

It looks like the scratchers weren't supposed to stack, but I was one of the first purchasers so the girl at the counter hadn't got the message yet. So my first purchase was all sale items and then I got an extra 10%. I came back later in the morning and tried to buy a second round. This time I pulled a 20% and was pretty excited until they told me they wouldn't stack now. Overall ended up with 2 PAB boxes, one of the holiday promos, free duplo bag, and a so-so deal on my purchases. Hopefully the after Xmas sales will be better.

Does anyone know if they will still be doing the scratchers tomorrow?

So what's the logic of not stacking the scratch cards with the sale prices in the store, but stacking the 10% with the sale prices online? Seems inconsistent.

In addition to inconsistent its also inconvenient since the impression most people had was that they would stack. I also would have bought more if they did so...

Good idea, but my address seems right. My guess is that because I'm in Canada, maybe the mail is taking a little longer to get here - from what I can see, the first person to mention getting an invite by mail in this thread was on Nov 9.... so it might just be delayed...

At any rate, I did call the store and they confirmed I'm on the list and good to go.

What kind of discounts did they have in-store last year, beyond the 10/20/50 coupon?

EDIT: nevermind, found last year's thread here: http://www.toysnbricks.com/forums/viewt ... f=6&t=4405" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I am wondering if anyone here can suggest an online shipment for international shoppers? I like to buy online especially on discounted items on legos; but my problem is how I am going to ship it. My friend suggested that I should try Parcel Bound. Anyone here who have heard or try this? Or can you recommend me a trusted cargo forwarder that you know of?
