What Lego set did you buy today?


Recommended Posts

I will give you that but there other no brainers out there that aren't being bought by the millions. It was a nice investment until everyone wanted 500 of them. O well I'm not mad there are plenty of others that haven't caught on (yet).

 

Yeah I am the same way on this set. I grabbed a couple at $30 just to be safe.

 

I will say interest in the super hero sets is extremely prevelant all over the world. I sell tons of super heroes stuff overseas - more than any other theme. So that may keep it up there some what.

Bought a Galactic Titan with a $50 GC I got for an early Christmas present.  With Target discounted price to $70, I paid only $20 for a set that I had sold out of in my eBay store.  That last one going out the door made me really want to build one badly, so I sprung for one last night. 

 

I can't wait to crack that baby open - I'm like a kid on Christmas!  I suppose that's the benefit of being an adult - you make the rules for when Christmas comes  :shifty:

Well, I have bought quite a bit over the last week or so.  I didn't expect to be buying this much until after Christmas clearance but when you see a good deal you gotta jump...

 

3x Helms Deep and 1x Batcave (through TRU discount promotions)

5x Batman Batwing (TRU sale)

1x Jabba's Palace (e-bay)

2x Pirate Ship Ambush (Target.com promotions)

1x Sail Barge (Target.com promotions)

2x Desert Skiff (TRU sale)

6x City Coast Gurad Planes (Target BOBO 50%)

1x Urak-Hai Army (full retail at wal-mart)

 

I think that's it...it's been a crazy week and I am broke!

Wow...am I exhausted. Took the day off work because I couldn't keep up with sales and shipping, plus get to all the sales I wanted to...and needed to arrange the 300 sets that were delivered over the last week or so.

Whelp 2 out of 3 ain't bad as they say. Caught up with the shipping and hit a bunch of sales....but house is still a disaster. Had to call ebay for a limit raise---just like frog warned....didn't think I would hit the selling limit so fast---it was ridiculous. Spent almost an hour on hold getting limit raised from 5 to 8k a month---and I am nearly at the 8k now--with no recourse until mid January.

First time I have read the site today---12 hours of shopping and shipping today. And I loved it all! I am in this for the long haul now. I love the hunt, the sale, and thrive on pack and ship.

Dealing with idiots on ebay is painful. I'll post the messages I got if I can still retrieve them..and I snapped a few photos while I was out...but forgot to take a couple I will have to relay verbally.

I'll post a few pics....but highlights:

Tons of jets and technic trucks and cranes and Gotham bats were bought. Anyone ever notice the uncanny nature of how many tru are right near Wendy's!?

Found a 2013 advent Star Wars

Found 4 ripped open and reseated sets with missing pieces labels selling for above retail.

Cars legos everywhere and even Pharos quest and Atlantis were found.

New lord and hobbit are everywhere and stacked deep, as well as man bat. The box art on lotr sets will sell them alone...same with new city sets..some are impeccable box art

New skylanders wave is expected Monday. Jolly bumble blast was out though--snagged some of them.

Oh--and the minifigure sets were on the regular shelf not priced from back in oct. I had no interest so didn't ask...but there was a lot...of only one set though..forget which

The pictures: Wendy's RIGHT across from tru. All package pictures were separate stacks and all OUTbound for once! Hulk was opened and missing pieces for 69! Box was destroyed on side and back. I think I found the last 2013 Star Wars calendar in the wild today.

Also hit 4 walmarts. Destroyed! Nothing of value left, shelves empty.

Your mailmen must love/hate you. Why did everything get dropped off at different times? It couldn't fit in their truck, or different mailing services?
