What Lego set did you buy today?

Wal-Marts are starting to unload the trailers.  Found a couple 76009 - Superman Black Zero Escapes for $5 each.

I second this!  Yesterday found 3 Lego The Hobbit Unexpected Gathering #79003 at one of my local Walmarts.  I was excited until I scanned one and saw the $69.99 price tag.  Needless to say I left them all there.  Just couldn't justify it after picking up 7 earlier in the year on clearance at the same Walmart for $49 each.

I am tempted to go back and see if I can hassle the toy manager to mark them down further since they are retired and no longer sold at Walmart.

7781 - Batmobile and Two Face Escape

7783 - Batcave

7785 - Arkham Asylum

All complete with boxes and instructions.  For the personal collection - $500.

7781 and 7783 display nicely as a pair (I add the new Arkham because I don't have the old one).  Enjoy the builds.

Even at RRP, you're going to do well on this set long term.  I wouldn't have hesitated on them, to be honest.  Now that the hobbit theme is retiring, this set especially is going nowhere but up.

Is it ymmv or all stores...?...if so need to stop by Target.

I can only speak to the two stores I went to, but it's worth a trip to see. They were so cleaned out on licensed sets they probably just cracked the boxes early. I'm heading 45 min away to find some sw sets at one tomorrow and can report back.

a bunch of small sets for filler

Plus some other recent "daily deals"

 

That's a lot for me but fortunately, someone was able to check 3 bags for free and used 2 of them for me. :)

2 First Order Transporters for $55 each. Plan on flipping 1 of them and part out the other one to keep Captain Phasma and avoid paying the $20 it's currently going for on ebay lol

LOL, I bought one for $55 and sold the Captain Phasma on Ebay for $20 so I could get the rest at a discount. Well, and write a review.

Clearly we had completely opposite objectives with this set haha! I'm honestly still not sure if I want to keep the whole thing or just Phasma... I'm just not that into the ship itself, but do want to have the minifigure for sure..

It's a terrible design from TLG. The  FO Troopers look great though. but, get what you can out of them before Jan 2016 sets hit and tank their value.
