It's raining cheap series 5's at Wal-Mart!

Post by Life_Unscripted »

Just went to Walmart and apparently where I live collectable minifigures didnt do so hot. They had 7 boxes out for 50% off lol I felt them for about an hour and got a big pile of dwarves, gladiators and gangsters. Maybe your local walmart is selling for that much too. They didnt get the upcoming series 6 yet though. They said they have sold alot of Megabloks Halo ones though o.o

Lucky you! My Walmart hasn't had any minifigures for months :roll: when they do have them it is usually just one box, the most I have ever seen is 2 boxes.

They had a ton (5 or so boxes) at a Walmart in Las Vegas. All marked clearance at $2.97... :roll:

Haven't been able to find any series 6 for less than the TRU $3.49... :roll:

I was lucky enough to stumble on a very small pile of S6 at Fred Meyer yesterday and picked up 3 minotaurs for $2.99 each and then found a 10% off coupon so that covered the sales tax :)

We are in the process of moving to a new apartment, so I posed them on their stands and set them up in various parts of the apt for my wife to find as she unpacks :sly:

Where did you find the 10% off upon?
I didn't even THINK to check fredmeyers. All the ones in Oregon I checked had nothing. Maybe the one over the river will be full of what I need...Thanx for that. =)

I just thumbed thru the flier at the front of the store once I knew I was going to buy the figs. It was a "10% all Home" coupon, which applies to almost everything. Sometimes you can stack them if they have a % off coupon for toys too, as there is almost always a 10% home coupon, it seems like.

Don't get your hopes up too much though. There were only about 25 bags of S6 and they were just in a pile on an empty spot on the Lego shelf. Not much inventory right now unless you want Ninjago or POTC

:( I went to Walmart tonight to score all of their dwarves and Gladiators and they moved all the 50% off toys. So I found the clearance, but not the minifigs. Well finally after grocery shopping I found them on a table right at the front door for regular price. Greeter lady said that they said no more 50% off, and I wasnt about to sit there checking dot codes through 5 boxes of minifigs right at the main entrance lol So bleh... Oh well... Maybe they will go back to 50%

Actually they had about 8 open boxes on the shelf, and a ton more on the top unopened. I scored a butcher, Mechanic, Genie and, 2 Minotaurs. Gonna go back for more in a week or so. I forgot to check the coupons though.
