A few days ago, the Los Angeles Police Department’s Harbor Division conducted a raid in connection of retail thefts involving LEGO sets. Two persons have been arrested and over 2,800 LEGO sets have been recovered from $20 sets to $1,000 sets at a house in Long Beach which are valued about $100,000.
LEGO sets have been a popular target among theives as this is the second larger bust within a few months. Back in April, there was another incident involving over $300,000 worth of stolen LEGO sets.
Target has started a new promotion for this week in which you can save 20% on select LEGO sets. There are 19 sets to choose from the list but the main one is the LEGO Star Wars UCS Luke Skywalker Landspeeder (75341) which is down to $184.79 but if you have the Target Circle Card, you can save an additional 5% as well. The promotion will end on June 15.

Amazon has recently discounted the LEGO Creator 3-in-1 Medieval Castle (31120) by 15%. The supposedly retiring set is currently priced at $84.99 which saves you $15 on it. The main draw here is that the castle is part of the Black Falcon Knights subtheme and has a couple of minifigures for the faction. The sales for this particular set usually doesn’t last too long and goes back up to regular price after a few days.
