I've been keeping my eye on the Ninjago Epic Dragon Battle Lego set for DS2 for MONTHS. It has been around $78 on Amazon since the summer. It is now $110. I'm bummed. That is A LOT of money and it is practically all DS2 is asking for. :(

Keep watching it. This has been in my cart and it changes prices frequently. It might go back down in price by tomorrow. Their price fluctuate so much!

Oh that gives me hope! I still have time but now I'm actually "ready" and I just about gagged when I saw the price increase!

That looks like what it is at Target and TRU too. I guess their price matching is going both ways. :( Do you have a 20% off Target coupon? That + 5% Red Card would make it better...

I keep hesitating and stuff goes out of stock! I'm a moron. I found a place that had several things I needed with a coupon and free shipping and ebates and didn't order last night. Now only one thing. I do this every year!

I have a red card but not a 20% off coupon. Price is now up to $119.84. WHY did I wait!

Check your local Walmart. It's out of stock online, but my local store looks like it still has some and the online price listed is $77+:

Indianamom, that was a great lead. I went to Walmart and they had only one more set left. BUT they don't price match themselves. :( I'm noticing that Lego is no longer advertising this set on its site. As a result, I'm wondering if they'll actually sell out of this item! Ninjago just released a bunch of new products. Long story short, I bought the set at the full price, aka over $40 more than the Cyber Monday price. But I figure that this way I can keeping watching the online prices and grab a deal but I have a set in my hand if nothing pans out!

Thanks for weighing in everyone. Next year I'll be better.
