Upon checkout at Target today, I noticed a new mini LEGO set in the checkout aisle. It is a new 41-pc. Republic Attack Cruiser (30053) which is a different build than the previous 84-pc. BrickMaster version (20007). Best of all, it rings out an attractive $1.19 pricepoint.
Just a reminder that Hallmark is having their 2011 Keepsake Ornament Debut this weekend (Oct 8-9) where you’ll be able to pick up the exclusive, in-store only LEGO Darth Vader Ornament.
Upon my travels this weekend hunting for the latest Vintage and Clone Wars goodies, I managed to stumble across a handy little carrying case over in the LEGO aisle at Walmart. The LEGO ZipBin TIE Fighter Storage Case holds approximately 500 LEGO bricks and doubles as a playmat when unzipped and opened and retails for about $10.
