Cant say I had a spare Grand laying about between the cobwebs in the wallet, but I did manage to get a few Wall-Es ordered and price matched the MF in TRU and used a voucher for £73. I can honestly say I spent a F*** load in the last 2 months on Lego, that my better half is gonna have a stroke!

Could have wrote what you have myself. It's really the best time of the year to load up as the retailing are all squabbling with each other for our business. Swore I was done for the year and today bought 10 Wall-E's, 7 GB ECTO-1 and a Passenger train at £55 for the power function to fit the new Winter Train. I think I'm busted for a while.

Ahh sh*t 

I still have lots to learn, I bought loads of mystery mansions few months back thinking I got a great price and now can get the same from asda.

I think in the future i am definitely going to wait until I know a item is going to retire before loading up. 

I picked up a spaceport at same price 2 months ago and thought that was the cheapest had ever seen it.

I think wall-e and ecto-1 will not retire until next year so too soon to stock up. 

Most likely big bang theory is next ideas set to go as it is displaying same characteristics as Dr who.

Most likely but you may make some money on them if they sell out at retail before Christmas (but then again perhaps not) if your like me who like to throw Lego in the attic but hates climbing up to bring them back down again.

No deals on JW or no stock left? That´s where the money is this Xmas in my mind. Dinosaurs > Scooby.

When you definitely know an item is going to retire is when it already has and you've left it too late.

If you were happy with the price when you bought the last lot, then be even happier with your latest buy in price.

On the recent Asda deal Indom Rex went oos very quickly, T Rex tracker and Raptor Rampage aren't even on their website. 

All these recent deals are crippling me !!! I know we shouldn't complain but with Asda and Smyths running there deal twice and Amazon doing some price matching I have massively over spent this month !! Literally been smuggling the sets from my car to the attic whilst the wife is asleep !!!

Good advice as the horde are all experts on the fastest finger first game.

Seems to be very little JW in stock anywhere online at least, I haven't seen much better than the Smyths 20% off for that line, so picked up a bit of that a couple of weeks ago.

JW > Scooby short to mid term, but I think Scooby could do better longer term. There'll be more dinosaurs soon enough.

I'm keeping mine in my office in work, she doesn't get to see what's stored there.

HAHA !! I was also doing that as well as I get everything delivered to work (if I also made the mrs stay in to sign for the parcels she'd go ape), but when your desk area starts to look like an Amazon warehouse it was only a matter of time until my boss asked me to take some home !! ;o)

I´d make sure to keep enough lead in my pencil because this is only the start of the best buying period of the year. No point in blowing all the budget now on marginal sets and missing out on the gems/sure fire winners.

Bollox, bought 6 spaceports this morning from them. Oh well  !

I also bought just one Passenger Train just so that I can part it out and use the motor for the Xmas train. I also went big on WALL-E and Ecto1. Good luck! ;-)

Bollox as in i bought them before the discount started

It's a bit like playing Pacman this

 

 

Spaceport already done.  I snoozed too much!

20% off on RO stuff for tomorrow is equally as tempting as triple VIP and a free poly.

The triple VIP on SaH for SW sets is active. Picked up my first and (possibly) last Sandcrawler.

Seems like all star wars exclusives are now limit of one for the 3 x VIP promo

got mine as well from Lego LEGO Shop at Home Italy (used the IT10 code)

(this will go into the secret stash that wife does not know about, until I will resell it... or build it)

to use already collected VIP points during tripple VIP offer makes totally no sense...
