15 more series 14.

 

I am insanely jealous of you.

Yeah it was 125 or best offer too...put in an offer of 115, but thought better of it and just bought it outright.  Have learned the hard way that it's best to get that used copy early on sets I like and want to build. 

outof curiously, how many are you up to,  and are you paying full retail or getting some kind of discount? 

I'm at around 15, and have mostly used toys r us coupons and gift cards and sometimes the raptor poly bags to get my average cost down. 

He probably has until 2020 to pick them up anyway.  He gets all the pre-destined retirement info waaaaay ahead of time before stuff starts to disappear over there.

 yeah, I'm jealous of the euros. Especially when things like the Super Star Destroyer are completely retired in the US and they ask questions like "Should I pick this up I feel like there's more time and 100 at my local store, so I'll just wait another 6 months. "

Well, we have LM and BOTFA still widely available in the US now...

Went to Toys R Us to pick up an Ecto I saw on the shelf on Friday. Instead, I saw Wall-E staring at me, and I couldn't resist.

Used the 15% off coupon, and $15 rewards and got it for $38.

Used complete GE w/box for $125 off CL. Now I can preserve my sealed copy for another Lego fan with deep pockets in a few years

It will be gone before 2020. You can take that to the bank.

The knife cuts both ways. EEE was available longer in the US. After it retired already in Europe, US people here were still asking if to buy the EEE. Even at a discount!

Hence, you guys even had the luck to have longer access to Exo-Suit and at a deep discount! So stop complaining!

I'll agree on the EEE, but that seems to be a regional taste oddity. Nobody over here seems to care about it. I know i don't.

As to the Exo Suit....  you're kidding about that as an example in this discussion....right?

Now I know I can forget about a career in comedy.

Pssst....hey buddy...you, uh, need some Exo-Suits? (opens car trunk)

I feel much better now

You might still have a career in comedy. Nobody got Andy Kaufman at first either.

1x 75111 Darth Vader in smashed box from Smyths Toys discounted £12.49. Previous Super Heroes figures of this scale fetch good money (eg. Iron Man). However, I bet these are made in their billions and I have to see how good the movie is first. What do you lot think? Buy 5 or 500?  Of course, I'll wait for the inevitable offers.

Picked up 6 Wall*Es at Legoland.  Heavy boxes

He's not in the movie.

Spoiler alert!

Spoiler alert!

His remains were in the trailer... So technically in the movie.

What remains, he was floating around Endor the last I saw?

His body was burned, but apparently part of the mask was still around?

Ghost train to build $80 on eBay. (Don't judge me, I arrived late to the party).

2 more sealed boxes of S14 CMFs at a really decent discount... for Canadians.

One Scooby Doo Mansion

One Scooby Doo Lighthouse

One Scooby Doo Plane

One ToT

One tan baseplate

all for the Halloween display (along with Haunted House and Vampyre Castle).  Will also add one full set of the Series 14 minifigs.  Thought about using Ewok Village trees for a spooky forest, but couldn't risk breaking up the EV and losing pieces.

You add the trees and the next thing you know Warwick is roasting a Werewolf and a Catwoman for dinner.

I bought some S3 Mixels for my kids - got S4 cheap so of course now I'm going to have to shell out $400 buying S1/S2/S3/S5.

Didn't buy it today, but finally received it today. http://www.shopgoodwill.com/viewItem.asp?ItemID=23631585 After inventorying, missing one hose, a crossbow, Han, Luke and Chewbacca. also, some of the stickers came off the sheet, so I need to source 4 parts with stickers, or just get a new sticker sheet. Not terrible for a 7965.

Ha!  Too bad we didn't know one another last year, I could have set you up with a good deal for S1.  We could probably work something out for S2/S3/S5.

So, did you realize it was a 7965 when you were bidding on it?  If so, good eye, and good job.  That's a fantastic price, and a great job.
