85 cent Minifigures!!

I'm working on my daughter's Christmas advent calender and need a lot of minifigures to pad my collection. (I know its early, but I enjoy this process haha.)  I found an amazing lot on Amazon that features ten minifigures for 4 dollars! This is an amazing deal as you can get minifigures for the small price of 39 cents each.  The shipping is 4.59, which will make your total come out to 8.59, or 85 cents per minifigure!!! This is still a great deal.




Of course, there is always a word of caution. These are so cheap because they are likely Chinese knockoffs. Some purists might be offended, and there is some legitimate worry your children might be able to tell they're playing with cheap crap. Neither concern really bothers me as long as you realize what you're getting ahead of time. These are fairly obvious knockoffs to most adults, but most kids can't tell the difference. My daughter and her friends play with S world Lego compatible figures and they have never commented on the difference.  This is a great chance to buy a stack of Lego (like) products that you can give to your kids just because, save them for your own advent calender, or use as goody bag items at birthday or school parties. They also add a great deal of flavor to your collection. You'll see there are some that look like a 3 Musketeer, Indiana Jones, and even a Santa figure, you'll get ten random ones chosen from the 20 pictured.  Good luck ninjas!

Free Lego Star Wars Poster!

Greetings ninjas! Since May the 4th sounds a great deal like "May the force (be with you)" there are always some great Star Wars celebrations.  The Lego Store is offering a free Star Wars poster with any Star Wars purchase!! This means that you can get the free poster with something as small as a Yoda Key Chain for 3.99.  (Though if you aren't near a Lego store the shipping will add about 4 dollars.) I'm a big fan of the Micro fighters, these are mini versions of ships that normally cost a hundred dollars, but the micro version is about ten.  I'm thinking about getting the ARC fighter  but most of you will like the mini AT-AT . That little guy is so cute its tough to believe you are being invaded by the Empire!!



My daughter has attended at least two star so I'm probably buying a little key chain that I can use as a birthday present.  The poster will make a good addition to my Christmas stash. As you can see, this is a good chance for you to do some advanced shopping. These supplies often sell out quickly, so if you're interested I would hurry. Good luck ninjas!! Make sure to like my facebook page for further updates.

Lego Castle sale on Amazon

Greetings ninjas! I found an excellent deal on Amazon. The Forest Ambush from the Lego Castle Series is 33% off and currently priced at 7.98!  These prices fluctuate a a great deal, so if you had your eye on it, or didn't mind splurging 8 dollars for 4 minifigures, a treasure cart, and a catapult this is a good deal.



This has all of the usual perks from Amazon, including two day shipping, or a dollar credit for no rush shopping.  For parents with multiple kids the 4 minifigures allows you to split them up and allow each child their own. Or this makes a good vignette to add to your existing collecting. Of course, this is always another chance to grab a birthday present ahead of time.  Happy hunting Ninjas!

Amazon 60% Off Lego Molds

Greetings Ninjas! I found another great sale at Amazon!! This is a chance to get some lego molds. This means you can make ice cubes, popsicles, fudge, cupcakes and so much more in the shape of Legos!!  They are normally 29.99 and now they are 11.99. That is 60% off!!!


 I don't have any Lego molds, but I did buy some Han Solo Carbonite ice trays. They are really fun for the kids, and a funny thing to bring out at parties. As you can see in the pictures, there are a variety of great activities you can do with this.  (Molding broken crayons into a Lego man? Brilliant!!) Grab yours today and good luck ninjas!

Amazon Spring Clearance Sale!!

Greetings Ninjas!  Amazon is having 20 to 50% off on many of their Lego items!! There are so many sales I highly recommend you visit their Lego page and check it out!! I particularly like the Star Wars micro fighters. I don't have several hundred dollars to buy the large version of a Tie Fighter or Millennium Falcon. But for about 11 dollars, or the sale price of 8 or 9 dollars, you can get micro versions of them. I got one of the mini AT-ATs  and they are super cute. And its hard to get a Han Solo mini figure without paying a ton of money for it, but you can get one and the Millennium Falcon for 8.79!!! Thats a great deal considering just the mini figure sells for as much as 6 dollars on Ebay. And don't forget that if you have Amazon prime its free shipping, and you have a chance to earn a dollar credit if you aren't in a hurry. If you get a small one like this it would make a great Easter basket surprise!




There are good deals all around. City construction sets have some great deals. My daughter particularly enjoys the arctic themed Legos. You wouldn't think so, but the orange on blue mini figures have a nice look.  And it comes with cool accessories like a parka and lots of arctic themed animals like sled dogs and polar bears. You can find one of the smallest sets on sale for 5 dollars!! The best deals are 50% off on the Galaxy Squad set! I bought this on sale at Toys R Us about a month ago and I love it! The green alien looks a great deal like the predator from the movie Predator.  The bug looking vehicle looks great, and it goes good with the free Bionicle spiders the Lego store was giving away. (I got one for every purchase I made, so I ended up with several even after giving several away. Its tough being the Lego Ninja sometimes!! lol.)  Two mini figures and about 17 dollars worth of pieces (at the price count of ten cents a piece) for 10 dollars, plus free shipping and a dollar credit is a great deal!! Finally, if your kids are anything like mine you probably worry about how much time they spend playing Mine Craft.  Well many of those are at least 20% off!  My daughter doesn't have the cave so I'm thinking about picking that one up.  I might be a super stealth savings ninja, but I don't know much about Mine Craft, but I know my daughter likes it, and it looks like the cave has some cool elements. It comes with two mini figures and a spider!


 Its always great shopping at Amazon. I love the free shipping, and I'm rarely in a hurry for yet one more Lego set so I love that they offer you free credits.  Easter is coming up so this is a great chance to surprise them with some really neat Legos in their baskets or get something just because.  I know one family that has three birthday coming up in almost consecutive months. With a little bit of advanced planning you can have your shopping done, at a great discount, without even leaving your home! As always, good luck ninjas!

One Dollar Star Wars!!

I came across a great company called The Minifigure Outlet Store.  They are having a special for a one dollar clone trooper! The exact price is 1.25 cents.  And shipping is the minimum at 2.32. (I know its the minimum because I ship minifigures on ebay.)  For contrast, a blind bag at the Lego store costs 3.99, and its one of 16 in that given series.  Here you can get one for 3.57 including shipping!!!

Now a word of caution.  As you can see from the picture these are "S World" minifigures and not officially the Lego Brand. That means they might be a lesser quality than official Lego models.  I have several of these, and have had many kids play with them, and they've never noticed or commented on the difference.  I know that I feel the difference in my pocket book when I buy a knock off brand compared 20 dollars for a set that has the Green Latern or 30 dollars for one with The Flash. (My two current "must have" Lego figures.)  I'm sure you'll feel okay with the quality difference paying just 3.57 for a wicked awesome clone soldier! Good luck Ninjas!
