Michael and I have been desperately trying to rebuild our lego stash from childhood (although all the sets back then were just plain more interesting). Yes, of course, this is for David! (wink, wink) We discovered a better place to purchase legos. It seems that all sets are marked almost the same, either online or in store (in fact, Amazon tends to be more expensive than its rivals). Through an unusual set of circumstances, we found ourselves at Barnes & Noble looking at legos about a month ago. I pretty much figured they would be 3x the price, but no! They were if anything, a tiny bit cheaper. We decided to purchase a castle set. (too bad, our 10% coupon had just expired). We still got a decent deal and used a gift card that needed to be used.
A couple of days ago, also in the quest to use a gift card, we headed to Borders--again with the idea of legos in mind. This time we had a 30% off coupon. (and these come out regularly online) We ended up with a great deal this time on the lego city fire station.
All this to say, have you ever thought of trying to purchase legos in a book store? The prices are about equivalent to elsewhere, and you can use coupons that Walmart or Target likely will not have.
PS Have not tried using the 20% off coupon for Babies R Us on a lego set, but perhaps that would work as well. Those are also a dime a dozen.
