PAB for faction builders

Post by preterosso »

In the US Fall TLG catalogue set 5615 (The Knight) is listed in the "buy 5 get $4 off" section. Using the code A8001 online seems to price each set at $2.69 for quantities above 5 (not just multiples of 5). So with some judicious pick-a-brick supplementing (heads, torsos, and legs), you can get 7 Crownies + 7 Euro-armor dark blue knights for under $25 -- key for a cheapskate like me who wants to stay under that threshold for $4.95 shipping. Don't know if it's a temporary glitch or permanent offer, but I may have to order and find out!

The code works so it's about a 25% discount! Thanks for the heads-up!

edit: I tried ordering 7 sets which is about $23 bucks but you cannot use the $5 dollar coupon (to cancel shipping). The entire price ends up being around $28 (excluding tax) which is about $4/set, not the best of deals. :cry:

Odd: it worked fine for me. All 7 sets were priced at $2.69 each, then I added 7 heads, torsos, legs, and some crossbows via Pick-A-Brick. Total came to $24.98 + shipping + sales tax = $31.43, so $2.25 per figure. Looks like they didn't just take $4 off at the end, but rather $0.80 per set, so a total savings of $5.60 -- which more than covered shipping.

2.69 is a pretty good price for this set either way. I'm going to order another 15, thanks for the heads up.
