Free Fire Elf at Walmart!!

Greetings ninjas! You can't get much better than free.  This post is brought to you through an old school notification.  Walmart is offering a free Azari Fire Elf mini doll!! I don't have a link because it was sent by post card.  (I know right?! Apparently that's still a thing.) I guess I buy so many Legos I got put on a list.  If you're in the Vegas area it is happening on Saturday March 28th from 11-4 at the Tropical Parkway Walmart.  In the fine print it also says "show this postcard."  I'm not sure how vigorously they are enforcing that.  And I searched all over and couldn't find this announcement anywhere else, so if you're outside the Las Vegas area please contact your local Walmart to find out more.

Lego Elves are a new product line mainly for females. As you can see from the Lego store, they have a variety of interesting colors and sets that should appeal to many.  This is a great chance to grab a free Lego set this Saturday. If you're local Walmart is doing this, plan to show up at least 15 minutes early and be patient.  Everybody is just as excited as you, so there is a greater chance it can go all Black Friday on you. Though I've done many of these free giveaways at Toys R Us, and the Lego store and they never do.  But there is a nervous energy and fairly large crowds that suggest it has potential.  (Or maybe that's just my anxiety talking.)  Anyways,  good luck Ninjas!  Make sure to follow me on facebook for more updates! 

Nanoblock Hot Rod

Greetings! I found a great deal on a Nanoblock Hot Rod.  Nanoblock is a Lego like company that offers slightly smaller pieces and hence more definition and detail.  Amazon normally prices them at 26 dollars, but right now they are on sale for 20.  On Ebay you can bid for the next five days starting at just 9.99!!! That's about 60% off the listed price!! If you don't have the time to bid, or if the bid reaches 19.99 you have the buy it now option, which is still the on sale price offered by Amazon.

 This is great for those that like cars, but don't like the high prices of most Nanoblock products.  The detailed engine, black color, and flames make it a nice present for adults that would normally balk at Legos.  Good luck Ninjas!!

33% off Brick Warriors

I love the Brick Warriors  site. They are a great place to pimp out your Legos for far less than it costs to buy the specialized minifigures. For example, the Roman Legion Commander currently sells for 11.15, and the Roman Legion is currently 16 dollars.  I've seen both as high as 18 dollars...per figure!!!  At Brick Warriors I can buy a sword, shield, helmet, and armor, for just under 5 dollars. That is more than 50% off the current price, and often times as much as 75% off. Brick Warriors now has an offer for 33% off their castle products!! This includes items such as ranger hoods and English long bows to create Robin Hood minifigures, court jester hats, long swords for King Arthur fantasies, and even items like bear traps and hidden daggers.

There is a minimum charge of 10 dollars to use this coupon. And there is a 4 dollar charge for shipping.  But as I showed above, if you are pimping out two or three Legos you can easily cross that threshold, and if you want to things like Viking warriors, or dragon wings you can cross the 25 dollar threshold and get free shipping. This is a great deal that ends on Monday the 9th, so if you wanted to make your child feel like a master builder, and let them turn ordinary Legos into unforgettable child hood favorites for about the price of a single movie ticket, this is your chance! 

As I've said before, a custom minifigure will make a fantastic treat to find inside an Easter egg!! I did Indiana Jones once and my daughter loved it! Unless they bite it, the figure won't rot their teeth either lol!! (If you have multiple kids, you might find the Chima army builder a good choice.) Good luck ninjas! 

Lego Store Bionicle Giveaway

Greetings! The Lego Store is offering a free Bionicle product with the purchase of any item in the store. That includes this Obi Wan Kenobi magnet selling for 1.50!!!!  You simply place the product in your cart, and then the free Bionicle Hero pack is also placed there.  This means you can get two Lego products for two dollars! That kind of deal does not happen very often.  (Though if you can't make it to a Lego store the shipping will add about 5 dollars which makes this much less of a good deal.)  As you can tell from the picture, this is more of a boy toy. Though you can use this map for a variety of things such as pretending the princess castles are located there, and even come up with your own style of Lego Risk if you want! If you can make it into a Lego store this is a great chance for you to pick up some nice goodies for about the cost of a large drink at MacDonalds!

Last time Lego had an offer like this for a Star Wars AT-DP, and it sold out in less than seven days. So if you want this deal you'll have to jump on it! Good luck ninjas! 

Walmart Savings Catcher!

You probably saw this title and did a double take. How on Earth could I be talking about Christmas so early in the year?! This program works best the earlier you start, but imagine getting free Legos for no out of pocket cost as I discuss the Walmart Savings Catcher.

This is very easy to use! You set up a username and password at the savings catcher website. Each time you shop, you take your receipt and either enter it online (see the middle left in the picture) or scan it if your phone is capable.  Then Walmart does the rest of the work as they search online for every sale at major retailers. After they compare the deals they refund you the difference on any deals that you would have received at other stores!! You see in the middle right of the picture this person saved 70 cents and has a total of 5.60 thus far. This is why you should start early.  I spend about 50 dollars a week on food, and usually save between 50 cents and 4 dollars. I'm extremely lucky to have such a low monthly bill, but I imagine many of you spend several times that.   I've only been using the system for just over 3 months and have 50 dollars. By Christmas I expect to have about 150 dollars. So it doesn't seem like much, but it adds up and many of you could have several hundred dollars by then!  When you are ready you can either shop online with that amount or they can mail you a gift card.

There are a variety of ways to look at this money. You could consider this a really slow layaway plan where you increase your savings about a few dollars per week. But this is money that you've already spent on weekly necessities, which is then refunded to you, so it sure feels like free money. This means that you can shop for Legos and get far better deals than anything you'll see on Black Friday, and you can do it any time during your holiday shopping without facing the crowds, or possibly leaving your home!!!!

Of course this deal only works if you shop at Walmart, and it seems to apply mostly to food items.  But if you start early, already or don't mind food shopping at Walmart, you can have a rather nice amount to do your Christmas shopping by the end of the year.  Good luck ninjas!

75% Off Galaxy Squad!

Greetings! I was searching for a couple items and ran across a fantastic deal. Toys R Us has a Galaxy Squad Set on sale for 6 dollars!! That is almost 75% off.  This set comes with 171 pieces and two minifigures. Keep in mind that most polybags come with one minifigure and cost between 3 and 5 dollars. (And the special ones like Rocket Raccoon or Indiana Jones often sell for more than 20 on the aftermarket.) The blind bags cost 3.99 each.  So this is two minifigures for 3 dollars each.  On top of that, you get 171 pieces and two vehicles.  The magical price point for being a decent value is about 10 cents a piece. In this case that means it would be a good deal at 17 dollars. As a result, just the minifigures, or the set would be a great deal on their own, but for only 6 dollars you are getting both! Now of course, this is on sale because its not the most popular series. You aren't getting a cool Darth Vader, Rocket Raccoon, or even some storm troopers. But for a price slightly higher than a happy meal, this is a hard to beat price for Legos.  Toys R Us will allow you to pick up in the store as soon as an hour, or in as many as five days after you order so you can avoid shipping costs as well!

This is a great chance to pick up an early birthday present for your kids, surprise them with some news Legos just because, or even put the minifigures into Easter eggs as special prizes when they hunt!  (And unless they bite it, at least these won't rot their teeth! lol)  Happy hunting ninjas! 

Toys R Us B.O.G.O.

Greetings future ninjas! Toys R Us is having a bogo sale. This stands for "buy one get one..." Sometimes it is buy one get one free. At this time, when you buy a Star Wars, Friends, or City Construction Set you get another one for 40% off. Keep in mind that they make you pay full price for the larger item.  (So you can't buy a 5 dollar item and then get 40% off the 300 dollar Star Destroyer. I found that out the hard way!!)  This deal works best for those that were buying something anyway. But it also works if you wanted to save money on several items, such as several squads of storm troopers you need to make an army. I mentioned Polybags yesterday, those are the little bags that offer a very simple and low priced figure or model between 3 and 5 dollars. I picked up a nice Halloween Pumpkin last year and you can get something similar for only a couple dollars extra!

If you weren't planning on buying you might want to hold off for a better deal.  But if you were planning on purchasing anyway, this is a pretty good deal for you. Good luck ninjas!
