Also if folks find scuttlers/ultimate batmobiles etc at their walmarts at those clearance prices people talked about, I would be interested in buying them from you if you get them. I definitely want at least one of each for myself of those sets in particular, but also other Batman sets.

I saw the Batmobile but elected to pass. I have a feeling it will drop below $100. Didn't see any scuttlers.

Did see various other things. Best deal, I think, is the Ninjago MEC whatever it was called for $11. I mean that I actually saw. Saw tons for 50% off, but that was like 70% off.

There were lots of scuttlers around me last I checked, three at the one I bought mine from and 1 batmobile too that I passed on. Checked stock on zip 68028.


Is there anyway to use that site to check all lego stock at a specific store instead of searching all local stores for a SKU?

Lego Store in Berlin had some deals too, on the Scuttler and the Creator Lighthouse. The latter being only €35, which isn't bad.

Are scuttlers really going to be all that sought out if there are so many on clearance?

Love those images - the major models are fantastic creations.

Thanks for all of the input re: the Simpsons line. I bought the Kwik-E-Mart, which was the model which had caught my eye to begin with, and I left the House on the shelf.

I don't get it either, the scuttler is kind of a bad set. It's too wobbly feeling.

For 30 bucks I'd grab one for the parts and figures. I don't think it's really that cool. Definetly a build it and bin it set.

This is a level beyond SSJ(orts)



(total savings of $907)

I made sure to tell every parent with kids passing through while I price checked stuff about the unmarked clearances and handed out anything they wanted from my cart. One kid was going to get a little creator car set but I told his mom about the sale and handed her a Clayface set for the same price instead, kid was PSYCHED

Sadly didn't get any Scuttlers, seems the ones that were actually price marked as clearance were cleaned out right away, but everything that wasn't marked(or was on the top of the shelf where nobody could reach them) weren't. Investigation paid off!

It's amazing their hands can support such awesome.
Picked up a Scuttler and Joker's Lowrider last night. built the Scuttler while watching a movie after everyone went to bed. It's a pretty interesting build and has some seriously fun play elements and all the articulation makes for really cool poseability.

Sorry, guy.
Went to Walmart. Stock of store said they had 4 scuttlers. No one was helpful, most barely understood English. No scuttlers or anything else their site claimed they had.

Store was gross. Customers were mutants.

Never, ever again.

Not even for 90% off...

Yeah. the last time there was a big clearance I ran into the exact same thing. Completely misleading stock numbers online and the employees were literally useless. I swear to god if you try to ask someone at Wal Mart for help they try to run off. Every one of them is a complete loving dump that puts me in a bad mood just being there.

Same, I got the krennic shuttle and both x-wings and none of them were in the clearance section or otherwise marked that they were reduced in price.

I found that the harder to get to a Walmart is, the more likely it will have sale stuff. The ones right off the highway that are near me were cleared out according to that site, but the one in a kind of awkward to reach location had tons of things. Still has 34 or so catwoman sets, but they're only 5 bucks off, so nah

Did you get an extra Krennic's shuttle? I'd swap a Scuttler for that and pay any difference.

I yiffed two people at once and all I got was laughed at.
I spent 200 bucks on the super hero high school, ninjago dragon forge, and two big rear end elves sets and my wife told me "No more Lego". So I went to another Walmart during work and picked up the scarecrow combine and suicide squad tank set. Now I'm getting divorced, must be nice Invictus! Now I can get all the Lego too!

Well I was so salty on my subhuman Walmart experience I went to the Lego store just to browse and they had whatever the Ninjago movie blue spindly space ship was and despite not having paid it any attention before, it was very blue and fun to look at. So I bought it.

I also filled a PAB wall cup because they had some nice pieces in sand green (curved & stepped 2x2 tile) and a really majestic deep purple 1x2 tile bin.


Also I built this with my 4 year old today...

There was a stack of 10 of them on top of the shelf, about 9 feet off the ground. Unless you have a ladder or are really tall you couldn't reach them(or 4 of the 5 Batmobiles, or like 30 of the catwoman sets), I'm guessing people just didn't notice them before? I handed out four Clayfaces to kids' parents because it's a rad little set, and hard to say no to for 15 bucks.

Hey so maybe nothing but when I walked into the Lego store yesterday I asked the guy working there "hey so Ninjago City is 9/1 right?" And he said yes. I go to the PAB wall and 5 minutes pass...and the same guy comes up tome and is like pointing to a mystery VIP calendar entry on the Lego calendar on the 16th of Aug and is like " hey just wanted to show you this. Not sure what it is but I guess it could be the Ninjago City."


Hmmmmm...

Confirmed it is 'jago City. 16-31 VIP access
