I think the magnets were nice.
Only got the imperial soldier.

Went to the Bricktober 500 saturday with my daughter.
She loved it.
I Got some good pieces too.

I was happy about Bricktober for the most part. The third week was a little on the dry side for my tastes, but the other weeks had decent sales and promotions to go along with the free minifigures.

I would've voted awesome except the fact that today I purchased a large Star Wars set on sale hoping to get the free brick bucket to donate to charity, only to find out that Star Wars is the only line that's excluded from the promo.

Really? I bought a Star Wars set, along with a couple others, last night in a B&M store and got the free brick bucket.

As to my thoughts about Bricktober, it was okay. There weren't any real amazing sales, but what can you do with the Christmas season so close? And I did manage to get all four magnets this year.

Yes the FREE LEGO Brick Bucket offer excludes LEGO Star Wars. I guess you got lucky. ;)

first week was the best but mostly because of the additional 20% off coupon which stacked with sale price.

third was okay, but second and fourth were mediocre at best. and the staff totally screwed up the magnet figure promo. some weeks i would get either the prior week's figure or future week's figure. and the final BF figure i couldn't even find in stores. had to resort to online purchase. i hate how the customer service and cashier all said oos when the promo should have just started. they probably thought prev week's figure was out and just repeated that statement on sunday.

The only thing I missed was the Lego candy bag, which was my fault as I went late in the week. My local TRU does have them in stock for sale this week though.

I suppose it was okay :? ...the other promos/sales were the main draw, otherwise, I wouldn't be spending $20 simply for a low quality magnet. I only go the Imperial Soldier in the first week, but with a Space Police HQ down to $50, i think it was a fairly good deal. :P

I was relatively disappointed that I didn't get the first magnet - so I didn't feel compelled to go back for the others.

I thought the different sales and promotions were decent enough to offer a small discount on MSRP instead of normal TRU inflated prices. That made picking something up to get the bricktober magnets at least a reasonable idea. The only sale I really took advantage of was the Woody's Roundup for 35.

[koromo]

Promo was okay. The real bugger was that SW sets were exempt that last week for the bucket promo.

I have the 2nd and 4th week magnets, I really wanted the first week's but I am sure to keep the black falcon.
