Found at Airdrie Walmart, a whole endcap in toy section, no price posted but scanned on a whim & came up $25.

Lego 8273 (http://technic.lego.com/en-us/Products/Trucks/8273Trucks.aspx)

With 805 pieces, retail for Canada should be $80-100. Can find it online for $50 USD. Will go well with the fire truck from Sears.ca!

Funny. I had one of these in my hand and thought it was a good deal at $25 but I guess common sense and will power overcame want and greed...this time anyway. I think I may be sick.

Thanks for the heads up, I just got back from the claireview walmart and they have none in stock (that I could find anyways..)
Were they on an endcap or inside an aisle?

I picked up one last week from Markham Wal-mart. I couldn't believe it was $25. They had 3 left at the time, but I'm sure they're gone by now. Sorry that I didn't post it earlier, my kids have been sick. :(

This is what my son and I are going to do with it, once he opens it up on xmas. (You need 2 NXTs to do this though.)

Got one at the Royal Oak Walmart in NW Calgary. They had lots (5 or 6) and they were clearance marked as such.

Thanks OP!

well, I was at the dufferin mall walmart earlier today and after scouring through the toy aisles came home with nothing.

For people looking for interesting K'nex stuff they did have a very cool roller coaster package for $35 down from $40 though.

sweet price. That's the same series as the firetruck that was $50 (after 50% off) on Sears clearance website a couple of weeks ago.

Myself and a friend picked up one each from the Walmart Supercentre at Warden/Eglinton, rang up at $25.00.
There were 6 total, 4 left when we walked out of there (that I saw on the shelf).

They were on the TOP shelf, on the right (when facing the back of the store) in the aisle that had an actual sign saying "Lego".

They were not labelled, and had no price tag anywhere near them to identify. not sure if there was more elsewhere on the shelf as these appeared to be just overstock.

GL and happy hunting.

There were two left on the shelf at Marlborough Walmart in Calgary on Monday evening...

Located on the bottom shelf around the middle of the aisle. They weren't visible unless you crouched as they were at the very back.

I didn't see them and had to ask an employee...

Thanks OP!

I just pcked up the last of these at morningside & 401. I didn't think there would be any left this late in the game, but there the were two hidden behind one of those absurd star wars sets.

It's almost impossible to find large technic sets anymore in stores, nevermind at prices like this, so these are an awesome find!

Brampton (Airport / Queen) still had one left this morning...in the puzzle section of all places. Perfect box. It was beside the Lego helicopters. I didn't look in the actual Lego area. I only noticed it because I had previously read this thread.
