PLEASE fix the Lego Deals section!

I dont consider it a "deal" to pay far above retail prices, even on retired sets. I like seeing whats on sale, and I cant bother to search page after page for scalper pricing. If you really want to throw so much into this, at least add a "percentage off" filter.

When I see so many terrible "deals", I just go to other affiliate sites to find the real deals.

Doesn't look like anyone posts in here but since it's kinda Lego related I'll post it. Best Buy has their The Lego Ninjago Movie blu ray steelbook on sale for $18.99.

I just noticed there's like 9 posts total in the Lego forum yet there's 13 moderators listed for it lol.

Best Buy

Anyone know when the Ant man and wasp Lego sets are releasing? Everything I've seen says 6/1 but I don't see them anywhere locally

I buy Lego sets regularly.

1. Official Lego site is OK. Their usual sale is towards end of the product life after the product has been on shelf for about a year and they're trying to clear out their inventory.
2. Canada's ToysR'Us is better; has regular rotating mark downs as well as occasional buy one get another at 50%.
3. Amazon.ca is even better for high price items but you have to watch it almost daily and grab it when it appears for few days.

eg. Porsche 911 GT3 standard price is C$349.99. At Lego, it's almost always at this price. On line 10~15% off. Also saw Bugatti (C$399.99) for 10~15% off online.

My general guideline is:
10 pcs / C$1.00 = fair. If less than 10pcs/C$1, it's too expensive. If more than 10 pcs/C$1, it's a good deal.

Usually it will be about 7~8pcs/C$1.00.

So take the # of pieces then divide by 10 should be a good price.
eg. #42078 Mack Anthem, 2595 pcs, reg = C$230, sale = $190 (great price)
eg. #42082 Rough Terrain Crane, 4057 pcs, reg = C$350 = fair price, $300 would be a great price
eg. #42069 Extreme Adventure, 2382 pcs, reg = C$240, I got it at C$160 a year ago.

So if you like a set, keep your eye on the price few times a week then pull the trigger when it goes on sale; they ALL go on sale eventually but NOT a permanent mark-down.
