MA & NH residents, DEAL ALERT!

Post by intromission » Sun Mar 17, 2013 8:32 am

Stopped by the Methuen Walmart to check on some sets that I had been stalking in clearance but unfortunately were gone. Lo and behold, as we walk in we are greeted by a shelf with a sign for additional 50 % off. On the shelf were two Falcons for $70. In the clearance aisle there's about 7 Jabba's Palace (rang up $47), a few Hobbit Goblin King sets, a Quinjet, MF werewolves. Hurry up.

Very interesting. This deal may reach beyond the Northeast. I've been using the WM app to do some price scanning for items that are listed as "in-stock" at specific WMs in Florida. Prices vary from store to store, but I found one store with the Falcon scanning at $79 where other stores listed it at $139, Helm's Deep at $57 (!!!), Catcycle at $9, MF Scientist at $35. I had my "people" (*cough*, parents, *cough*) check the store, but none of the sets were on the shelves, but were listed as "In Stock" on the WM website. Either their site is not up-to-date (it's happened to me before) or someone came in earlier this weekend and had a major score.

Either way, it seems like their are some new clearance-like deals out there, if you can find them.

Hey,
Thanks for the heads up, headed to the Methuen store around 3pm EST
I came back with 3 Jabbas ($47), 2 Goblin Kings ($49), Monster Werewolf ($10), Monster Ghost Train ($27)

There was 1 Falcon left, but it was taped up and beat up, likely a return. I would of bought it but didn't want to deal with missing pieces. After picking up my stuff, there were about 3-4 jabbas, 2 GB king, 1 werewolf, an opened Ghost train, Gandolf returns ($5), 1 Quinjet, which I would of bought, but I had all those figures already and 2-3 small city sets for about $10-15 after the 50% discounts.

I was surprise to find this big of a stash left, since the bigger sets are usually the first to go

My Walmart in Western MA has the falcon for full price. These are always YMMV.

My local WM had those prices last fall on most of those sets before they stopped carrying them. This should be moved to the YMMV section.

The only set Walmart may have had at that price last Fall
was the Falcon. Definitely not the others. This was not a YMMV post as I was very specific about what was left at this particular store.

The point was to alert regional folks, not claim a nationwide sale. We all know how Walmart clearance works.

I would think that the S&D forum guideline "*The deals in this forum are either national or available online to everyone living in the United States. " would mean this post goes in YMMV.

I appreciate the alert. I am just disappointed I didn't see it soon enough to grab a Jabba and Goblin King.

Yeah, I was worried about someone sweeping in and buying everything at once (I am very much anti-this approach) but such is the way of things. I figured it was worth sharing just in case a bunch of different people would be able to benefit from the find. I was pissed that someone had already beaten me to the batcave and helm's deep. ;)

It was very nice of you leaving some sets for other shoppers. However, the deal was too good for resellers.
