Ferris wheel 10247 with free bus promo. 

how many of those buses do you need!

I was kinda hoping the buses were a polybag, like the VW Camper Van.  That makes @Martae54's haul much less impressive.

It's not the buses I'm after, but yeah, they're nice addition

I bought the 42055 Bucket wheel Excavator.  IMPRESSIVE is all I have to say.

picked up two used sets yesterday, local cash deal and one new set.

1.  Grand Emporium, complete with box and instructions

2.  Star Wars UCS AT-ST, complete but no box or instructions  (I was surprised to see how large this set was)

3.  Beetle, brand new from Lego store.  Free London bus.

Paid $480 (Canadian dollars) for both used sets.....not a fantastic deal, but I really wanted the AT-ST.  I have a GE, but its brand new, so I was reluctant to open it.

Must be AT-ST day, I picked one up myself this morning (complete with instructions but no box) for $140 (US dollars). Will probably clean off the dust, build it to verify it's complete, display it for a while, and flip it down the road when there is something else I want.

41999 LE Crawler. Was in my "dark ages" until few months back so missed my opportunity to get this set. I've always been a fan of Technic RC sets and this one just looked amazing.

 

I actually bought the porsche set aswell but decided to sell it after seeing its reviews and when I realised you could not add any power functions to it.

today i went to a Walmart  i had never been to before in Manchester CT - i had to take my car in for service near by and the app said there were some $40 Kylo Ren shuttles and some 50% off minecraft.

Get to the toy section - not seeing any clearance though the minecraft sets are loaded but unmarked so i snag a couple Nether Fortress and Desert Outposts for 50% off.  I ask the toy dept manager/clerk guy if there is a clearance section with LEGO he points me in a general direction - walk over towards the clearance sign walk around the corner and run into a load of 50% off  $15 Architecture sets ("little" Big Ben, Berlin, Venice, and Lincoln Memorial)  - so I did the quick double take and then swiped the shelf into my cart and hightailed it out of there .  i've never seen architecture in a walmart before much less on a clearance aisle.  it was a good day.

Pretty soon you're going to need your own thread called, "What lego set did you NOT buy today"

All 5 bucks each. One Ben constraction figure. Why is it called constraction instead of construction?

Hey, nice find!
I had gone through that same store looking for the Kylos @$59. There were 3 there but well crushed (like truly stomped) in spiders. So you didn't miss much with them. Was in a bit of a hurry myself so ran off skipping any further exploration. Good reward for your diligence!

So compared to@cladner... :-(

Haven't ventured the architecture road but seeing those at that price I would've done the same. That's easy money for you down the road. Congrats.

You could have at least stacked them nicer in the cart......the dents!!

VW Beetle + promo bus (with double VIP points). [emoji3]

Went present hunting for a bday party today - the bday boy (a friend of my kids) recently discovered his love for SW Lego and brought over his Millenium Falcon he was building, so I thought it might be great to get him a nice discounted set to match. Found a 75101 FO Tie for $49 at WM, but it had a hole in the front, so left it. Then, tonight after poker I decided to pop into a WM on the route back home, and found 2x 75101 FO Tie for $35 (one for the bday-boy, and one for my son who will no doubt claim he wants to have one too). Left 1 more on the shelf for the other Timmy (as my son is called Timmy too ), actually, did some inventory management and took 2 Ties from the storage shelf above the displays and put one in my cart and the other back on the shelf.

Also, finally, after visiting what seemed like 20 GameStops, got a few freebies: 3x30279 Kylo Ren's Shuttle, only to find out they sell for peanuts on EBay .... $5 including shipping. Ah well.

Latest acquisitions. 

10212 used/complete but no instructions £180.  Will need to build it to be sure but looks fine.  
Tumbler used complete w. instructions/box.  £60. Tumbler was shipped built and that mess is what arrived.  Hard to be critical with what I paid for it though.  

Shuttle is likely a keeper, the Tumbler I want to build, doubt I’ll keep though.  For me most sets are about building rather than collecting/displaying.  
 

I'm not sure what happened here?

what the heck!

Belle's enchanted castle (to build) from Kmart for $30 with $15.50 back in points.  I want to know how Kmart made money on that transaction.

 

Thanks to exciter for posting that the new sets were online.
