Just cleaned out my local Walmart on some stuff I've been watching:

 

9 76003 Superman: Battle of Smallville - $7 each

2 70503 Ninjago: The Golden Dragon - $5 each

3 41051 Merida's Highland Games - $3 each

3 75024 HH-87 Starhoppers - $15

Picked up the following this week:

 

2 Steamrollers at 35

3 Steamrollers at 28

3 Milanos at 35

2 Attack on Lake-town at 20

2 Hulk Busters at retail

 

With that small amount, I really feel like I am running out of places to put these at home. I am not sure how some of you do it when you are buying more than 10 of this, and 10 of that, and 30 more of those. You must live in a Malibu Mansion.

I have a 2-car garage and only one car. My car barely fits in garage.

2 10243-1: Parisian Restaurant each 122

2 RIs

Hi chezzzuk,

there was a 15 % off yesterday on sunday sale at kaufhof.de , also there was this newsletter 10% off when you register any email.

you get a code and paste it through the order. Then you get another 10 % of the 15 %, and on Top you get some payback points.

so all in all it was 122

Bought the Hulk Buster for my son. Nice set but not worth $30 retail. Maybe $20 max. This set is a perfect example why set price is based the elements used (not the # count).

Price is typically based on weight, plus, at least in this case, the licensed theme involved.

Found green and Grey mixels from 2014 3 euro each

And a Kings castle 40404

Edit: and Some easter bunnys from last year 7 euro each

yup. some elements and colors are more expensive to produce. i totally agree about weight (i referred to this as elements used) and license.   license fee can be big.

Cleared the shelf of all two of them.

If this were the case, shouldn't 60025 Grand Prix Truck be $40?  That thing is a brick.

Found a 70728 Battle for Ninjago City at Target on 30% clearance for $83.98. The Joker Steamrollers were still at $34.98, so I passed on those.

Found a pair of 21008s at B&******, so I had to go ahead and take them home with me.

License fee is the growing problem.  Getting more and more $$$$ for these big licenses especially with Disney involvedsets. 

 

Those are the sets seeing the bigger spikes.  Ariel's Under Sea Palace was the first big one out of the new year.  Almost 15 cents a piece.  I know there is a lot of unique pieces but they will keep pushing it under these Disney sets.

 

Hulk Buster is another great example.  Its over the normal $20 set price range in elements but $25 probably should of been it, instead because of its content it is $30.

Yes!  That's a great find.  Congrats on picking up a GE in 2015, especially at that price, at the Lego Store.

Wow, those are great prices.  I was ready to snap up Dropships at $40. And I picked up one Turtle Sub at $30.  I'd love to have them at that price.  Great find.

Almost never...

Did my first store pickup for 4x Milano @$35 each.  I need to make a trip to a couple more Walmarts later this week to claim the others and some clearance Benny's and Phoenix Temples.

Bought 2x RI from Amazon.

Nice!

I've never seen it happen before, totally took me by surprise.  

I got 2 RIs on Amazon as well.

 

I also dug out some random Lego pieces and Duplo pieces at my local Goodwill outlet. They charge $1.49 per pound of stuff.

Cleared the shelf of all two of them.

Where at?
