United States

OK, who else here from Washington, Oregon, Idaho? (Could include Alaska I guess too) I know we have a few folks from the Seattle area, thought it could be cool to have a PNW thread to call our own for some of our regional stuff that doesn't fit in other threads broadly, like discussion of Fred Meyer or Bartell Drugs? Fred Meyer in particular has a good sale on right now, although they are getting cleaned out quickly: - Uruk Hai Army $19.99 - SW Planet sets $4.99 - 4440 Forest Police Station for $49.99 Lots of Hero Factory on sale as well for 40%-ish off. Anyone else want to raise their hand as a PNW'er?

I suggested this to Ed earlier today to have communities based on location where members can exchange which stores they got their deals from, meeting up and trading sets, etc. Based on my count, there are at least 87 Targets, 39 Toys R Us', over 100 Walmart's(lost count after 110), and 4 LEGO Shop at Home stores in Illinois. To start things off, I am usually in the Chicago area. I usually go to 4 Targets that are located near my house/school. They are: Chicago McKinley Chicago West Loop Chicago Mid North Chicago Near North Occasionally, I will go to a Walmart or two, and rarely go to the Lego Store because it is located in the middle of Downtown. Fo…

Anyone around in this area. I'm new to lego collecting/trading/ possibly selling. Would love to hear from some guys around the area.Maybe we can help each other find legos at good prices.Gimme a holla.

Per terry's request, here is the thread for folks in mostly the southern half of WI - Madison, Milwaukee, Beloit, Sheboygan - and Northern IL - Rockford, North Chicago - areas. I know I'm always happy to share knowledge when I can. This will be a great place to share the deals at our local WM, Meijer, Target, Kohl's, Best Buy, Michael's, Five Below, LEGO stores, etc. and where ever else LEGO are sold. I'll start that the Best Buy on Mayfair has some Harry Potter minifigures left for $2.99 a piece. Disney ones are that price too but they didn't have any out on the floor.

Does anybody know if the Bay Area has any premiere LEGO destinations? I'm in route right now and would like to goto a huge LEGO store or a TRU that carries exclusives.

Hey guys. Just wondering if there is any investors/collectors where i live in Los Angeles 90045 that would like to meet up. I just got into Lego investing/collecting and wouldn't mind meeting some of you guys that have been doing this for a while and wouldnt mind showing a newbie some pointers. Thanks d

There's a Groupon deal right now for 36% off a ticket to Brick Fest Live LEGO Fan Festival Meadowlands Expo Center (Secaucus, NJ) on July 11-13, 2014. http://www.groupon.com/deals/brick-fest-live-lego-fan-festival There also appears to be a save an extra 20% off one local deal that expires today. Code is LOCAL20. I haven't read all the fine print, so check the site for all that.

I just wanted to say Hello to the other Texans here. I live in Plano and work in Addison. I used to be lucky enough to work about a block from the Discovery Center in Grapevine. I have been to the store, but haven't gone through the center yet. Hoping to change that soon.

Hi, been on this forum for almost 3 years, was always wondering about the fellow brickpickers from the area, i have a proposal to arrange a meeting, to discuss future opportunities and just have some fun. I believe we have a lot to discuss about. If anyone is interested for the love of money or lego to have a meeting pls discuss below.

@MarleyMoose Nice to know the Cape is not in as bad shape as HBO claims it is. There are a lot worse things you could be spending your nights doing.

Greetings from Sconny. Any lego investors out there? Just a short summary on myself: I've been investing with a buddy in a partnership (well, not technically yet) for about 4 short months. Basically, we started an ebay store early last year to sell our treasures from picking estate sales and garage/rummage sales. Picking is the fun part - taking pictures, listing, shipping, dealing with crazy people on ebay, and the rest; not so much. If we actually tried to calculate the hourly rate we made, we'd probably both quit. Anyway, the profits that were made were essentially all put into lego investments, with some flippers in there to keep the cash flow going.

Anyone from the Ny metro area and Long Island?

Any members from knoxville?

I live in Idaho and never hear anyone talk about it out here and I never find that any stores have been cleared out of great investments/flips (once got 47 Dolphin Cruisers) so I just wanted to see if anyonelse is from out here.

So after receiving my umpteenth return of bootleg bricks, and third SSD 10221... I've been clearing out locally. It's been a fun ride, and Amazon is great for the rest of my wares... but the Lego fun has been killed by the scammers. I've cringed each time I've recalled and checked a return. I would much rather Amazon just tell them to keep what they are stealing versus having them send boxes of random bricks back, or actual entire bootleg sets. I have a theory that some of these scammers believe Amazon checks the boxes when an item is returned so they send something back in the original box that looks just like the real thing. I had an Amazon fire sale for what I tho…

Does anybody know about deals in NJ or New York City? Thanks!

any collectors or enthusiasts in the Roanoke /Salem area looking to buy, sell, trade or help me sort and organize, lol

It's that time. I am looking to sell my collection of legos. I have no idea how to start. So far I have looked up each set on Brick-picker and have an idea of what each is worth. I am in Phoenix, Arizona. I have all of my sets still complete with the manuals but no boxes. They vary from Star Wars, Bionical, City Legos and more. I can attach photos too if you all would like or facetime and show you all the sets. Again any help would be greatly appreciated.

This target is having some pretty good clearance prices by their standards. Museum break in 47.00, Police station 75.00, fire station 69.00. Boxes on the museum was ever so slightly crushed on one corner so I didn't pick any up, plus its new so there is plenty o time to pick some up. There were few SW wars sets marked down a little. If you are in the area its worth dropping in.

this is pretty cool news for those living nearby. this will be the 4th Lego-related store in the area (King of Prussia, PA, Christiana, DE and Cherry Hill, NJ). http://mobile.philly.com/beta?wss=/philly/business&id=360823821 Legoland Discovery Center, a chain of children's attractions, plans to open a location at Plymouth Meeting Mall as the mall's owner, Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust, seeks to drum up business at one of its worst-performing properties. Construction will begin in the summer on the 33,000-square-foot attraction, which will include Lego-block play areas, a cinema, and a "Miniland" with Lego-bloc…

Anyone make it? I hear they were demoing their new line of educational toys + freebies. These were today's hand outs. Will be getting them tomorrow.

Hi team, I started buying sets about 10 years ago, and stopped buying about 4 years ago. Sold around 600+ sets and down to 2 (whew!). I have somewhere between 60-100 boxes of all sizes (all types of Amazon/Target boxes + moving boxes from Home Depot). Also have 2-3 trash bags full of dunnage - air bubbles or ranpak paper. FREE to anyone in the area who wants them (you pick up). Boxes are flattened - you will probably need a pickup or van to get all of them. I'm in the Phoenix area.
