With all the upcoming 2012 LEGO sets about to be released, the day after Christmas may be the best time to get great deals on those sets you’ve been wanting to pick up (like those LEGO Christmas village sets) …
As stores look to clear out their remaining stock of 2011 sets, and also those under performing sets like Prince of Persia, there’s going to be some serious clearance prices on LEGO toys come the 26th of December. I was at Toys R Us yesterday and they’ve got ALL LEGO sets for buy one, get one at 50% off. You can bet that’s going to get even better after Christmas.
But it’s not going to be easy as stores don’t have the same toys and some will put some sets on clearance while others won’t. But according to TheBrickBlogger, the best place to get a Brick deal is actually the LEGO Store. They will have discounts of up to 50% or more and they will also put limits on how many people can buy in one transaction, so there’s a good chance you won’t be going home empty handed. LEGO Shop@Home will also be having deep discounts on surplus bricks. So if you miss out at the mall, you can just log on and whip out the plastic. And don’t forget Amazon, which will also offer free supersaver shipping on all orders over $25.
But just remember that the early bird gets the worm, so if you’re planning on sleeping in the 26th, you may find nothin’ left by the time you get going.
