Hmm. Having a sale again are they? I might have to check that out as I could build another mod for an idea I have...

We had the same MAG package deal at Kmart in Australia for AU 29.95 it even icluded batteries, they didn't last long as it was a bargain compared to the normal MAG pricing

Re: Lowe's M*glite sale headsup

Does it bother anyone else that they can sell a 2 thru 4 D cell light for $9.97, yet they charge $8.97 for a AA mini?

Hi TB. I got a 2 x AA mini m@g from fivemega on the B/S/T for $6.00 plus postage way cheaper than you can ever get one over here. He sells them from time to time.

I hate Aussie prices.

I sure hope this sale spreads. First Oregon then Arizona, still $15-$17 here is Kansas. Wife had a fit when I wanted to buy some more Mags, she said "wait till after Christmas." If I'm lucky maybe I'll get some from Santa...:)

Sounds like serious new math there, but I'll take what I can get. $9.97 for a big chunk of flashlight sounds pretty Merry to me, besides I have all the minis' I want right now.
(did I just say I have all I want while talking about flashlights? The holidays are affecting my brain.

Funny thing is the 3D and 4D Maglites were $9.97US in a special display at the front of the store, but 50' away in another display where they usually have their lights, the same 3D and 4D Maglites were priced at $14.97, etc ...

Hmmm .. I just don't have a use for a 3D or 4D Mag. :(

Hey, I'm with you, brother. I bought 3 2Ds (2 black, 1 red) and another 3D (blue) day after Thanksgiving at $9.97. I was planning on using them as Mod fodder, but I think a few might be given as Christmas gifts.

Still, if a 4D can go for less than $10, a minimag shouldn't cost more than $5. But that's what I just paid for a Solitaire.

Just wanted to give a heads up to everybody here. I went to my local OSH today (South San Francisco, cA) and all Maglites are on sale from 12/23 - 12/24. All Maglites are priced at 20% off. I picked up a Mini Maglite 2AA LED for about $19.

Check with your local OSH!

No clue on their site when the sale will end or how many stores/regions are involved. Try lowes.com and set the location to your desired zip code. Good luck.

Re: Lowe's M*glite sale headsup

Back when we had the Black Friday sale thread going, someone (don't remember who) linked the circular that said "new lower price". There was some discussion as to whether this would be Lowe's new price for the Mags.

Maybe that's why they're still $9.97?

Re: Lowe's M*glite sale headsup

The Lowe's sale is only valid through 12/24 (today). I had a bad experience with the same sale on Black Friday when they refused to sell me a red 3D at the sale price, saying it was in the wrong place. Apparently only the black and silver were discounted.

However...

Based on a tip from Fatwallet... I picked up a 2D Mag-LED for $9.97. At the checkout, I asked the cashier if the LED ones were on sale too. He said "oh yeah", and adjusted the price with manager approval. It sounded like he had done this a few times already, and I got the second to last one on the display.

All the Mags were pretty cleaned out on the endcap, except the 3AA LEDs, but they had a shopping cart with six freshly opened cases of 2Ds sitting in another part of the store. I picked up a normal 2D for modding as well, black. I wanted a red one again, but they were nowhere to be found -- just black, silver, and blue.

As always, YMMV with this Mag-LED thing. I may try getting Home Depot to price match Lowe's 9.97 price, though...

Re: Lowe's M*glite sale headsup

I actually went to two separate Lowes on Black Friday. The first store was out of almost everything. I got the two black 2Ds there. The second store had a larger selection. I got the red 2D and a blue 3D there.
