My kids’ birthday is coming up soon and Dad does not like to give the usual gift bags. Last year I found Mixels on sale and mixed in (no pun intended) a few Series 15 minifigs for the gift bag thing. This year the Target BOGO 40% sale hit at the right time and a bit of inspiration hit me. Today I bought two of the 61034 City People in Park sets for $47.18 total and got the minifigs I need for the birthday party. Looking forward to keeping the leftover minfigs for us! Maybe this post will help other BPers and give them ideas for their kid’s birthday parties. This community rocks!

That's what I said!

It puzzles me why people choose to post odd stuff in a deals thread.

I'm in Canada visiting family for Passover - stopped at a Lego store and got Joker and Batman Brickheadz along with the Y Wing and U Wing Microfighters. Because of the price in Toronto it broke the $50 canadian barrier and I also got a Beetle Promo set. With the US Exchange rate I ended up getting all of that for about $43.50 American.

bought some sealed gems for my personal collection - Haunted House, Town Hall, Grand Emporium and MetalBeards Sea Cow

Trying to contribute more, this is the latest MOC I've completed. It's been around a few months and I'm trying to figure out how to get better pictures while having no lighting equipment. It's a Neo Futuron spaceship named "Deep Space Sentinel." I had the trans-blue dome panels from old sets and I've always wanted to make a spaceship cockpit with them. It got a little bigger than I'd originally planned. The hardest part was getting a stand built. It meant I had to keep it mostly un-assembled while I figured out a decent stand. I want to do the same thing with the other 80's-90's space themes; make giant spaceships.

Proposal: create a mirror thread called Daily Deals Discussion. Put some code in that copies each entry in DD to that thread (and a sticky to the DDD thread in DD). Then moderate the DD and delete non-deal posts, while allowing discussion in DDD

Often it leads to the best tips and info.

I wish I was retiring soon ..

The cheap keychains have been good for party favors this year too.

You mean the girl that surrounds your post?!

I'm probably going to give out dimensions packs.

Finally got the Parisian Restaurant and Palace Cinema that I bought with r'us rewards points. This will be my first time diving into the modulars and I am super excited!!!!

Found Vampyre Castle 9468 gently used for $30

There is no doubt this will be the Death Star for the Disney line up.

The scene at the Main Street store at Magic Kingdom. It is true, all of it.

Lol

Do you WUPHF?

Bought some of these at Legoland, but they have plenty.

Juniors Ariel's Dolphin Carriage SOLD OUT in europe shop at home, on sale at all retailers in USA. Cheapo small Juniors and Princess sets have been very good to me. this post is doomed for all eternity to having that annoying chick laughing above me.

$1.65 keychain works the best. cheap but awesome ever party gift.

You guys suck, carry on. Stick to defined price match rules for discussion.

The most powerful rocket ever flown is blasting off in LEGO bricks this June! #LEGOApollo

I bought 5 or 6 of the Holiday Bauble 853345 (gold bricks) on clearance a few months back... can't recall what I paid... $2 or $3 each? Have had them on Amazon FBM ever since at the lowest price ($11.90 shipped) and have not sold a single one (despite this being the cheapest Lego ornament I found in a quick search). I was just thinking about opening them up and parting out the bricks. Interesting... the tag says "43 pcs"... I now learned that means 40 bricks + 2 ornament halves + 1 gold ribbon. Doing a little more research, I see that a few are selling on eBay around $10 each... maybe I'll just do that. One other idea... part out the bricks, and sell the empty baubles separately around next Christmas season... perfect for making your own decorations?

This past week 2x 41178 dragon sanctuary - $49 ea from Kmart 2x 75174 desert skiff escape- $24 ea + 5% off from target red card Been wanting to build the desert skiff for a while, for my tattooine diorama. I figured if I was gonna get it anytime soon this would be the time.

when do we think these will hit target/TRU I know they leak early

you had me worried that my buyin suddenly sucked. i wouldn't put it past TLG to have lowered the price and raised it again. 39.99 is overpriced for this set and its brethren the first night .

Darnit! And now I need new glasses too!

Had a n00b buyer on BO requesting a quote for shipping to Greece. Before providing an official quote, I sent her a message giving two options: with or without box, because this was a $20 set and shipping with box would have been ~$25 on top of the cost of the set, but without box I could ship for ~$15. Didn't hear back for 2 days, so decided to just push out the quote for the expensive option. Next day she responds to my message saying she wants the full box experience and she wants to place the order. I explain she needs to accept the quote and complete the sale in BO. In the meanwhile she asks when this will be delivered, to which I give a "roughly 1-2 weeks" estimate. Another day passes, she responds asking "when are you shipping this and when will it be delivered to me?" I reply with a lengthy email explaining to her step by step how she needs to go back to her cart in my store, look up the quote under shipping methods, complete the purchase and pay through PayPal. Silence. Two days later "Sorry, but I want to cancel this order". *Sigh*. Luckily she never placed an order in the first place, but what a hassle ......

This is the Daily Drivel thread.

Does anyone happen to have a program or bot they use that they use for checking local Walmarts they wouldn't mind sharing? Similar to what BS does or brickpickers target checker. I technically have all the coding for it but I don't speak the language. If anyone does and is willing to share please PM me. Sorry I know this is a bit off topic. Alternatively, if anyone has knowledge of json, java, and all that fun stuff and would like to work together by all means I'm for it.

I just put together my first BrickHeadz set. I don't see myself getting more of these, but they're clever.

They were $2 limit 5 per order on 2/9. Thanks for the heads up on the ribbon. I will have to open one up when I get home later.

That was the rumor. At least, the rumor was that she was exclusive to the PS4 Starter Pack until March. But we've never heard any details about how she might otherwise be released.

On my CL everyone seemingly over prices their Legos. I live in San Diego, so this probably makes sense. Everyone has a couple sets, checks eBay and lists their lots at double. Also a lot of garbage "1 duffle bag full of Legos" in which you have NO way of seeing anything. There was a comment about the bulk seller's photos being disorganized, ironically they had their lot the most organized I have seen so far, easy. haha Seems like its a tough city to get any good deals in general, but its the nature of the game I guess. Thanks for the advice!

70590 Ninjago Bankruptcy Grounds and 75140 Poop Transporter are both back in stock at EU SAH! Yet more stuff that won´t die.

just finished my new Caterham 7 (21307). Its a lovely build. I particularly loved how the rear wheel arches came together

I picked up Metalbeard's Sea Cow (minus Queasy Kitty) for $125. I've been wanting to build one for quite a while but couldn't justify buying a new one to open and build at current market prices.

This isn't about the 10179 - Most complainers here are concerned (and should be concerned) about the continued loss of faith in the perception of value, in general. When nothing is special, nothing is special - and LEGO is just another expensive, disposable, plastic toy.

I was working on the Price Guide update yesterday, hopefully should have it updated tonight or tomorrow at the latest.

Mostly the smaller sets with MSRPs between $10 and $20 that are already marked 20% off before the BOGO. Stunt Car and Fishing Boat are new, but many sets similar to those have only been lasting for 1 year over the past few years and the sale gets them down to around $7 and $13.75 for me respectively after tax...when you add in the fact that Target is not applying quantity limits to most of the sets in this sale, it equals a very expensive Sunday morning for me.

Out at Legoland Billund Denmark Highwayman:

My pocketbook hurts after my last two purchases: 75137 Carbon Freezing Chamber - $0.00 (ok, $15.58 before tax and SYW rewards points) 41118 Heartlake Supermarket - $0.29 (ok, $19.29 before tax and Meijer Rewards) My current KMart points streak is still going strong, but as of now I have purchased $461 of LEGO (MSRP) for $177 plus $15 in points earned thru Fandango (all other points are internally generated in the system by playing Sweeps and using points back coupons - an average of 62% off of MSRP. All small sets, a total of 21 sets, most of it 2017 releases. This is just the last month (since beginning of March). Love that store

Galeria-Kaufhof: You can generate a coupon code at their website. The code will vary from 15-25%. But with a trick you can transform any code to a 25% code. Just replace the first 8 digits from your generated code with this: "5k*m-nEK4-" followed by the last 8 digits of your own generated code! Coupon is valid only for one Item in you basket (If you buy more the code will only apply to the one with the highest price). Payback-users: Don't forget to check for 10x points coupons, it should be automaticaly activated by entering your paybackno. at Galeria-Kaufhof. As always one example: The all hated Death Star => 499,99€ RRP already discounted to 479,99€ with the 25% Coupon it's 359,99€ (and 36€ in Paybackpoints with that 10x points coupon)

Looks like this parts pack is on its way out .... Sold Out now in every LEGO Shop at Home (EU since Feb17, US/CA since Saturday). Was a great way to get both promos (just add $8 in filler) https://shop.lego.com/en-US/Butterfly-Organizer-40156

"We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too." - John F. Kennedy (1962)

Turntable?

Too bad. I will be leaving Germany shortly. So it will just be a fling.
