the set has just under 500 pieces so that sounds close to what it should be. TRU themselves are selling this set for $54.99 on ebay (and you can't use the 20% off coupon there!) so 51.99 sounds good.
after coupon and tax I think I paid $43 for shredder's lair... you do the math
Being TRU (and LEGO store) exclusive, highly doubt it will get cheaper until clearance time. Unless TRU gives us bigger coupons?
They could do a 30-40% off coupon. Also they've been mixing and matching Buy-One, Get-One 50% off too. The first time I saw them do it recently it was... I think everything except the Lego Movie sets, and just recently they did it with all Ninjago, Friends, ... I think City, and one other one? Or maybe it excluded Chima, Friends and Duplo? I can't remember. Maybe the second time is was BOGO 40% off, actually.
In any case, there will probably be a chance to get it for more than 20% off at some point in the future. I think that may be the only way I'll buy anymore Lego from TRU since they're so outrageously overpriced.
And if it's a Lego Store exclusive as well, maybe I'll pick it up there instead if I get any kind of employee discount. :3
Edit: Whoops, somehow quoted the wrong person.
Edit 2: A quick Google search reveals employee discounts are around 30%, and there's something called employee appreciation day and the discount goes even higher? :O More searching says it's in October and everything is 50% off O__O Someone else said 50% off day is once a QUARTER? My head is spinning :OOOO
