LEGO Batman 1989 Batmobile (76139) Available at Target

The LEGO Batman 1989 Batmobile (76139) is now available at Target and if you’re a RedCard member, you can save an additional 5% off. The Batmobile has been a very popular set since it was released last year and I’m a little surprised to see it over at Target. A 5% discount isn’t much but saving $12 on it and get free shipping is better than nothing unless you have a lot of LEGO VIP points to spend.

LEGO Star Wars Mandalorian Battle Pack (75267) Amazon Sale – March 2020

One of the hottest sets at the beginning of the year was the LEGO Star Wars Mandalorian Battle Pack (75267) and now Amazon currently has it on sale. So far, it’s only a dollar off or a 7% discount but at this time, any deal is a deal. I don’t expect to see a huge sale on this set until the holiday shopping season. Note that is set has been on backorder status on and off on Shop@Home since it was released in January.

The company opened 150 new branded stores and it now has 570 stores around the world with another 150 more planned for 2020 with a majority of it in mainland China.
