Nice! I got one for my son when it had just retired and it's the best LEGO Technic set he has .... mighty machine, awesome to play with.

They have 2 more... Not sure what to do, it's been an expensive month. Think I'll leave it at this.

 

Edit: can't stand the group pressure, got the other two as well (lol). 

Edited February 10, 20169 yr by Roy vd M.

42043  Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3245

My two I ordered from Amazon.de arrived.  

$183.86 each (includes shipping)

Shipping box looked abysmal and UPS left it in the snow, but Lego boxes look great.

Now I need to find a hiding place before my son or husband think they can build it.

I bought a few cool and fairly rare sets:

 

4002014: lego Hub Birds, MISB $200

4002015: lego Borkum Riffgruns MISB $185

10195: Star Justice. MISB $115

3723: complete with instructions and stickers $425

3724: complete with instructions and original box: $500

I like your style. Really solid prices on the LEGO Hub Birds and Borkum Riffgrund. If I can ask, where did you pick those up?

That's what I thought exactly. And I think the 3724 is a steal with the box and instructions as well. The Hub Birds and Borkum were newly listed on Bricklink. 

Still looking for a good deal on the 4000014 Legoland train but those are hard to come by

5 x Master Wu's Dragons £ 10.50 each

4 x Obi-Wan Kenobi 75109 buildable figures at £6 each. Sainsbury's.

2 x Flash Speeder 75091 at £10.50 each. Sainsbury's (boxes with slight damage).

Both on clearance end, not on aisle with normal Lego range.

I bought a couple cups from the pick a brick wall, and some Friends car that was marked down. The car may become a Mad Max style vehicle. It depends on my mood this weekend.

Just bought 1x Ewok Village and 1x Fairground Mixer at LEGO Shop at Home Germany.

60052 Cargo Train arrived today

$119 on AWD

Seals are intact and box just looks a little beat up.  Took a quick peak, and it looks like everything is there.

Not a bad price at all.  $199 at Lego and cheapest I see on eBay and Target is around $145.  This was my first AWD purchase - so far so good.

Got my Arocs yesterday too, probably ordered on the same day even! It was a great deal. 

Mine was propped up against the door vertically which allowed some snow to blow into the packaging box, but it wasn't an issue since it didn't melt while in there (took em out before it could). Lego box corners are a bit bumped/crunched, but doesn't bother me - I think many care a bit too much about condition of boxes. It's a box. 

I have continually not had issues with international orders, perhaps luckily. 

Kylo Ren's Shuttle $89 at WM. Would have bought new MF for $100, but out of stock. Idk why TFA on clearance, but I'll take it

My local meijer had out 76061 - Mighty Micros: Batman vs. Catwoman.

Bought one for the kid for V-Day, but after checking the ebay, the only listings I saw were for pre-orders and in hand on March 1st. I've never sold anything, but I'm thinking about it . . . 

They also had 2 new Ninjago sets, 2 new Minecraft, and 76050 - Crossbones' Hazard Heist (which looks pretty cool).

I'm getting mine tomorrow - let's see how the boxes look like ... luckily I'm using these for my business, so as long as the contents are good I don't care too much about box condition.

Bought my first series 15 minifigs at TRU today. 

2x Kendo Fighter

1x Bear Knight

1x Janitor

1x Clumsy Guy

1x Queen

My goal was just to avoid doubles but I failed. I'm terrible at feeling up minifigures. I need 5 seconds or less guy to help me out next time.

That's okay it takes practice  

I ordered a Raptor Rampage over the weekend from Kmart and used a coupon and bonus points to pay around $30 for it. Got the box today and instead received a T-Rex Tracker...no complaints here!

My trick is to look at the pictures on the box (or my phone).  If you're not positive, set it aside for the time being.  Then come back to it.  If you think it matches something else, grab that something else and compare the two.

Sometimes, if I'm just not sure, I'll buy it and end up with a double.  Other times, I just toss it back.  There's plenty out there right now.

As for my own buys today:

Cyberman / Dalek Dimensions Fun Packs

some CMF Series 15 for the kids

Todays purchases included:

x2 IRex Breakouts

x1 Black Manta Deep Sea Strike

and 15 Mixels..

I got both of mine over the last 2 days. SO tempted to build one..... The shipping boxes were in rough shape, but very little damage inside. They also came to my work, with NO NAME, so they got opened by my boss haha.

A tear on one, where the square-ish punch outs are on the side, it's fine. The other has a tiny tear on one of the small sides, again nothing to complain about. Great price on these.

They have the non-US box art, with no piece count, expected..GL with the builds Phil!!!!

Thanks man! I will actually build one of them, then deconstruct the build process into separate stages and have a bunch of 8-14 year olds build the whole thing during class to learn about the engineering techniques utilized ... I've done something similar with 42043 and 42008 recently, this will be the big project for in a few months ...

I got 3 75055 ISD's from walmart online, store pickup, today, RRP. Boxes are nearly perfect. Thanks to the stock tracker on that one...And I did the whole order from the throne HAHA
