cintinative Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) I saw someone with four in her cart, so if you want it I would run, not walk. This is the set: https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/auspicious-dragon-80112?consent-modal=show They also had a bunch of other Year of the Dragon stuff like plates, moon cakes, and some other special snacks. ETA: If you are a betting person, Reddit is saying they are marked down at some stores. So maybe??

gardenmom5 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 what age are you looking for? The Lego store has an $8.99 coupon for it (10%) with Lego points. if it's marked down or not will depend on how it sells at your local Costco, and how much the manager wants to get rid of items that aren't selling at full price. 2ds is really into Lego - and just bought a dozen red Lego roses for 1dd's bd.

Oh we are past Lego buying ages. I was just posting for information. 😃 Reddit said one Costco had theirs marked down 25%. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cintinative Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 @gardenmom5I know what you mean. For us it is more that the entirety of the closet floor is covered plus two storage things with five bins plus those parts sorter things people use for screws but we use for legos plus I just realized we have under the bed boxes also. Sigh. None of it is still built though. We do have every box as well. 🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Has anyone assembled this set yet? Any feedback on complexity or time involved? I bought this set to do with my boyfriend’s 10 yo grandson. Boyfriend, grandson, his 16 yo son and myself will build it. Im thinking 1-probably no more than 2 hours of a casual chatty build?? Letting the boys do the bulk but still participating. 1171 pieces. Boys are casual lego kids. Does that sound about right? Trying to decide if it is realistic for an after dinner build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardenmom5 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 51 minutes ago, cintinative said: It's $89.99 on Lego so maybe? Costco is almost always going to be cheaper as their base price. "sale" is the Costco monopoly which originally was listed at $39.99 Then $29.98, then $19.97. That very last digit is the tell of if it's their regular price, or a sale price. (there's another one for clearance, never coming back. Dh bought every single case (36?) of blue wilderness cat food because it was at $9.9_ something. they weren't going to stock it anymore. He said people were looking at him weird. lasted 18 months. But that particular costco will put things on sale like that. It's a manager decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I bought it and put it away for his birthday. Sometimes Costco does have different prices in different areas. Even in the same city. My daughter lives in a less expensive area/state than I do, and sometimes things have lower price at her Costco. Stores in places like Hawaii markup some prices due to transportation costs but not all. In early Dec I bought a Christmas decoration that was almost sold out at one store on markdown for 15$ off. The same item was still fully in stock at another store 15 miles away and full price. It doesn’t look too complicated so I think you’re right. It shouldn’t take too long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardenmom5 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 (edited) 1dgs and I came across this guy while trying to find him "calming" videos. I loved his "can I eat it?" But I'd like his red dragon. I'm surprised he hasn't done a dragon for the year of the dragon (though maybe he's working on one.) he's done a Tiger, and a Rabbit previously, specifically for Lunar New Year.
