Barnes and Noble Clearance 75% off

[Seitvonzu]

I don't know if this is national or not, but my barnes and noble went 75% off today (i'm guessing today cause i was in on friday and it was still at 50% off). There was TONS at my store-- leftover BTS stuff, books/cookbooks (of course), toys, and GAMES GAMES GAMES. i got rivers and roads, some smaller card type games, and a bajillion thinkfun games (like safari rush hour,etc) and the playmobil asian zoo set for 18! (i'm a member) my total was 82 dollars and i left with 3 big bags full and the playmobil set (which didn't fit in a bag).

don't forget to look in the boxes UNDER the table :) people never do this- but that's where all those great games were hiding :) hope this helps someone! i was able to knock out some christmas gifts :)

[Deal Queen]

Can you please tell us what playmobil sets you found?

[musicalgrl]

Wow, great haul! I will check it out this week if I can make it to our local store.

[WatchingThemGrow]

I got some of the thinkfun games and felt mosiac thing by eeboo along with the 3D white shark when it was all 50% off and there was a 20% member discount. Not sure i should keep the thinkfun games... they were turnstiles and pathwords jr.

[Momit]

Thanks, OP. I was just there yesterday and was wondering when it might go to 75%. Will check back this evening.

[hellokitty]

The sad part is that our local B&N had a really lame selection and I went to a larger one an hr away when it was only at 50% and was unimpressed with their selection as well. Hope that some of you get some great deals this time.

[Seitvonzu]

there wasn't a lot of playmobil-- i saw the asian zoo set (which i bought)
http://www.amazon.com/PLAYMOBIL%C2%AE-4852-PLAYMOBIL-Animal-Enclosure/dp/B0032O1W9E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1381192476&sr=8-1&keywords=playmobil+asian+animal
(this is 5 dollars more at $80 than what amazon lists as the retail price)

this animal clinic:
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/toys-games-playmobil-animal-clinic/22131278?ean=4008789043436

(and actually b&n's retail price is 10 dollars LOWER than playmobil.com's -- so great deal! we already have a different animal/vet set, so i thought this might be redundant but now i'm kicking myself a little)

this fire helicopter:
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/toys-games-playmobil-fire-rescue-helicopter/22131283?ean=4008789058423
which was 12.95 (so $3.25 on sale.... i thought this would make a cool little present, but we have the fire engine, so i might just keep it...there were several of these at my store, some marked 14.95 for whatever reason)

i didn't see anymore, but thought these were pretty neat/versatile sets :)

watchingthemgrow-- i bought that eeboo felt set full price (or with a 20% coupon maybe?) and although my daughter was slow to warm to it, she actually really likes playing with it and making various patterns/etc. i would have gotten an extra set if that had been there today. we love games, so i loaded up. even if a game ends up lame, its' worth trying for less than 5 bucks (whereas i'm always wondering- who spends 20+ dollars on some of these games?)

[njk07]

Our BN had a lot of Hello Kitty cupcake kits, cake mold, cookie jar, etc. My daughter had a Hello Kitty themed party this year so I didn't get any more.

Mine also had the eeboo Slips and Ladders - http://www.amazon.com/eeBoo-BDLAD-Slips-Ladders-Board/sim/B00390F2JW/2

[Deal Queen]

My BN had this ice cream store for 75% off.
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/toys-games-playmobil-super-set-ice-cream-parlor/22131270?ean=4008789041340

I also found shrinky dinks sets. I got this boy one:
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/toys-games-shrinky-dinks-cool-gear/12607008?ean=92633186008
There was also a horse set.

There was also paper doll sets by eeboo. I think this one:
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/toys-games-poet-and-astronomer-paper-doll-set/18097158?ean=689196540981

There were tons of board games and Monsters U toys. Also, backpacks and lunch totes.

[Blakes Mommy]

Thanks everyone!! I will check ours out today...I am not expecting much, but, will definitely post if I find some deals. My boys have birthdays coming very soon and then Christmas so it would be fun to find an extra surprise or two. I am glad we are pretty well stocked over here since I hit both Target clearances (Jan and the summer one) and various other deals along the way. I remember I used to wait and buy things for full price right before the holidays! For the past couple years and with all the great advice on here I have gotten smart and bought ahead. Thanks again!

[Melaine]

Ooooh thanks for letting us know!

[IansMom]

Thank you, OP! This is the first time I have gotten anything good at the BN clearance.

I paid $26 and got:

*Origami kit
*lego City watch
*Shrinky Dinks I Love Horses
*Thinkfun Roll and Play My First Game
*Eeboo Felt Mosaic

--------
My store also had a Playmobil cottage (I think) and some LeapFrog toys (xylophone, guitar, flat school bus and train things)

[cmo]

The cashier at my store said that since they only have 2 tables to display clearance stuff, they keep putting out more of it every day. She commented that a couple of things I bought weren't out on the floor yesterday. So, it may be worth a return trip if you're still hoping for a particular item!

Any chance you can try to find a link for the Playmobil Cottage...? Totally wondering about that! And, the Lego City Watch. My store had lots of watches not on the clearance tables.

Interesting how their stock varies from store to store. I saw much of the same stuff OP saw (except NO Playmobil), especially games galore: board games, card games, lots of others I didn't even recognize. Also lots of puzzles of all sorts, for all ages. When I went right after the start of the 50% off, they had a much smaller and more boring assortment. (I did get some nice blank books then.)

Today I picked up, for $27.xx:
Scrabble, gardening edition (they had all sorts of theme editions)
Nice 100-PC set of wood blocks
Shrinks Dinks Gear
Crocodile Creek set of "My First Puzzles" in fairy tale designs
Several nice note pads, one with a cute mini clipboard

The Scrabble game and blocks were each regularly $30, so I was pleased.

I passed up a super-cute Sevi wooden drum set (the stand-up kind with 2 drums, triangle, topped with cymbals etc). Would have been perfect for 2-y.o. DGD2 but I really want to stay on speaking terms with DIL !!

[IansMom]

Any chance you can try to find a link for the Playmobil Cottage...? Totally wondering about that! And, the Lego City Watch. My store had lots of watches not on the clearance tables.

I looked on the Playmobil website, and I *think* what I saw was the Harbor Cafe. I had trouble with the link. I only glanced at the back of the box. My store had two left.

This is the watch:

[Ms B]

The store near my office was pretty picked over, but I did get a four coloring/sticker books and Leappad preschool workbooks for the rainy day closet (plus a copy of The Lovely Bones) for under $10 total.

I plan to hit the store nearest my house tonight after dinner to see if they have anything better on offer . . . I would love to get some more of the Leappad books and some Playmobil/games . . . we have birthday parties coming up and I would love to get that shopping done ahead of the holiday season.

[Tenasparkl]

No playmobil at all at my store. There were lots of games & puzzles but nothing too interesting.

I got:
felt mosaic kit
leapfrog guitar
vilac race car
magical menagerie animal kit

[lchang25000]

Got several things, including the Playmobil ice cream store, but left the Playmobil zoo, Animal clinic/hospital, and Lego boom box for someone else to grab. Also got the Alex sticker factory, a few discovery kids books, and Thinkfun path words jr. (terrific reviews on Amazon).

[twowhat?]

Thanks, OP. Made a quick trip there. There were 3 playmobile sets at my store but I didn't buy...not sure what age range it's good for. There were lots of games, but seemed more for older kids (plus my girls hate games, it gets them upset). I did get a few things that will make nice additions to bday gifts...a nice girly puzzle in a tin for $3.xx, eeboo paper dolls for $3.xx, a nice little box of note cards for me, and a couple of small lenticular notepads for the girls (I stash these with colored pens in my purse...we use them as restaurant entertainment). There were also a bunch of lunch bags, backpacks, nicer pencil pouches, and boys' lego storage.

eta: ok clearly I should've checked amazon before going but I was in a rush...I might have to go back and see if I can grab those playmobil sets...sounds like they're great for older kids as well.

[Ms B]

I went by the store closer to my house last night. Again, things were pretty picked over, but I got a baby gift, an Eeboo felt mosaic kit for the neighbor girls who come over to play with The Biscuit and some M&D squirty fish for next summer at the pool for a total of under $15.

I did see the drum set mentioned above (originally $100; would have been $22.50 after clearance and member discount), but that might encourage the ILs to buy more noisy toys and I do not want to start that cycle.

[Momit]

Only one table of clearance at my store, and the space underneath it was just fleece blankets and tote bags. I did get a Monsters U toy, a couple of nice puzzles, some notecards and Uno Attack all for under $3.

[WatchingThemGrow]

Mine had a lite brix super set ( orig $109) but DH texted me to not buy anything.

[twowhat?]

I was reading a PP who said they put different stuff out so I made a quick trip back. They did put out some more stuff. All the Playmobil gone now except for an (originally) $70 one...the veterinarian one. But I did snag a couple of cute small doodle books (perfect for stashing in my purse for restaurant entertainment), a super cute baby gift which I hope to give later this year, (stacking beanbags - they are adorable!), a cupcakes matching game (super cute because it has real pics of different cupcakes - will make a nice gift) and an Olivia book (my girls love Olivia).

[Suebell]

She also said they put out more every day. I don't know if I can keep myself from going back!!

[IansMom]

I went back this morning just to check and they were putting out more stuff! The Playmobil Harbor Cafe was still there. I bought Eeboo Life on Earth paper chains, Eeboo Slips and Ladders games, and two Erector Motorized box sets (the ones made of plastic). There were other plastic Erector sets being put out. There were lots of Monsters Inc toys.

ETA: store coupon 706191 gets you 20% off one item.

[ckso]

I just walked past one today and totally forgot to check out their sale. :(

[lauren3110]

Thanks for sharing. I got an Innotab, vtech alphabet classroom, tie dye kits, picture frames, monsters university figures, disney princess piano book all for $47

[Deal Queen]

Mine had a lite brix super set ( orig $109) but DH texted me to not buy anything.

Do you happen to remember which one? Was it a city type set with buildings?

[Ceepa]

It seems my store has nothing new to put out. I have been a few times and it's the same stock getting picked over.

[Pennylane]

Thanks so much for posting about this sale! My DD collects the POP figures and has been wanting the Beatles collection. They had all 5 marked down 75%, woo-hoo! Plus I found a few board games that they will love for Christmas.

Ann

[IansMom]

I went back this afternoon and found a couple of Eeboo paper doll sets. There was still lots of Monsters stuff, Sunny Patch toys (sprinklers, binoculars, watering can), UNO Attack, and Erector sets.

[WatchingThemGrow]

Do you happen to remember which one? Was it a city type set with buildings?
It was the super something - huge box. maybe city stuff. not vehicles I don't think.

We ended up returning and rebuying some of the items we'd gotten at 50% off. They were a much better bargain the 2nd time around :). We got Safari Rush Hour for like $3.xx and gave it as a gift today.

[Deal Queen]

Does anyone have an idea when the red dot items will go to $2? Is Monday too soon?

[Seitvonzu]

i would think monday is too soon-- i think they usually go two weeks at a time? it's only been a week so far

[njk07]

i would think monday is too soon-- i think they usually go two weeks at a time? it's only been a week so far

Yes, I was told 2 weeks at each discount level as well. If it started last Monday, it may start on Sunday, the 20th or Monday, the 21st.

[Gracemom]

I didn't find anything I needed from the clearance section, but they did have a buy 1 get one 50% off sale on educational toys. I combined it with the 20% off one item coupon that ends today from an email I received, and I got some good Lego deals.

My B&N moved to $2 clearance. The sign still says 75% off though. When I asked the cashier to price check, she told me they just changed it all to $2 this morning.

Ack! I need to make another trip, LOL!

[Avispa]

I got tons today!! Djeco puzzles, Alex craft boxes and games, and the best score: 2 corolle les cheries (marked initially at $49.99 each)!!

Everything for $2. Things were flying out fast. There were also a bunch of Elmo playing the drums, marked at $85 or something, down to $2 each. We didn't need them and we're moving in a couple of weeks, so I skipped those.
That is early Christmas shopping I like! Now I only have to find a way to sneak this all in the house without DH noticing...

[California]

Thanks for the heads up on the $2 deal!!! Ummm... I can't believe this. Got the Corolle Les Classiques Lila doll and one a brown haired Les Cheries. Everything else was completely picked over. I have no idea why these were still there and the employees didn't snap them up! Avispa, right there with you sneaking these in. Going to see if my SIL wants to give one to DD for her upcoming birthday.

[crayonblue]

Oh crap. I've completely resisted this sale but I have an hour to kill and well, Barnes and Noble is on the way to my DD's preschool. Fine, I'll go. :)

[Seitvonzu]

yep...2 dollars at ours today too :) i got a couple things but our section was pretty zapped. i'm glad people are getting some great deals! les cheries dolls! WOWWY (our store doesn't even carry those regularly) i'm happy for everyone!

After seeing the "now $2" posts, I dashed off to B&N with visions of super deals on pricey toys ... sadly, our store was also pretty picked over. I did pick up a couple of small puzzles/games and yet another nice blank book (I should be set with those for gifts for the next year!). I've never seen dolls of any kind on clearance here.

[wifecat]

I picked up a Vilac wooden pull toy frog for $2 and a vtech ABC Learning Classroom for $2 (both were about $40 originally). They had a Melissa and Doug garden kit thing, so I grabbed that, too, but it rang up as $19.99 (full price) so I passed. There were several of them on the $2 table but I wasn't going to fuss over it!

[WatchingThemGrow]

Does anyone know what the clearance lego and lite brix sets were? the names or SKU? :)

Maybe super building set ?? Seems like it was 4 words. I couldn't find it online, and the reviews of other lite brix were 2/5 stars. Should I have gotten it?

[onlyscripts]

Sale is over :(

[onlyscripts]

If I see a clearance item left over and it "rings up" at retail price is there anyway to get it for $2/ ??
