that's a painful set

Scored the big Harry Potter Castle set on Facebook Marketplace the other day for $120! The girl also threw in an HP 76384 book set that's still sealed. I know the castle is missing two of the four exclusive minifigures and most likely half of the microfigures but I couldn't pass up the deal. Most of the castle pieces are there. Found the mini Hagrid's Hut and the Whomping Willow. 

Now appearing in one of the bins at Walmart.

 

I thought the whole order would be canceled.

They only cancel the whole order if they decide you're bought too much of something.

Purchased the Boutique Hotel today. 

Snagged a Diagon Alley 75978 for $200 on craigslist. Lady started building it with her daughter and they lost interest. Bags 8-20 are still sealed. They misplaced the Hermione and Ron minifigures, but thankfully she still had the bonus box light blue outfit Harry Potter, Hagrid, and printed plaque (stand missing). 

Made my first Bricklink purchases outside lf the designer program. Im going to start dabbing with selling sets , figs and polys. Thank you Earl , BrickTrains and BrickkTzaar.

Couldn’t say no at $35. Preorder is up now..

How about what I " Almost " bought. I saw a post on Facebook from Christopher " DuckBricks" , saying he was selling some sets off that are extra. I reached out but I got that funny feeling that its a scam. Did anyone else see the post?

While technically not a buy, the next-door neighbor had an estate sale today, is moving and gave me a Lego storage container as a thank you for taking care of her lawn over the years.  What looked like an ordinary container turned out to be quite the find after going through it.  This is same neighbor who gave me a tote of her son’s old Lego that had a nearly complete 6991 Monorail Transport Base set in it with the instructions.  I feel so fortunate and lucky.

Add this to my ever growing list of silly Lego purchases . Three cases of 30615 Incredibles 2 GameStop polybag. The crazy things I find on Facebook at 2am. 

Not sure if you live by an Ollies but I found a bunch of bigger Lego sets there today. Not used to seeing big sets in the kind of quantities they had.  Not terrible prices . These must have really not sold well for them to show up in the quantities I have been seeing at Ollies.

Dreamz 71469 $60

Guardians ship 76255 $40

City 60379 $45

City 60378 $30

Dreamz 71459 $30

Wow, the end is nigh.

Got bored and started to look at the old Minifigure Series releases. I saw the King for the first time and instantly pulled the trigger on eBay. Something about this guy seemed oddly familiar, then I realized it was the exact same King I recently hugged at LEGOLAND (yes, I also hug the Ewoks at Disney when they make an appearance). I'm excited to go back to LEGOLAND this summer with this newfound knowledge because I believe everything there might be a replica of a set or Minifigure brought to life. How freaking cool is that!

ps: I'm wondering if the Castle in the background of the photo on the right is a replica of an actual set?

My friend that is a Manager at Ollies just got back from the Ollies Corporate meeting and said that Ollies has a deal to start carrying Lego overstock and every store is getting a pallet and should start getting them on the regular. Of course she told me after I bought a bunch...lol

Is Ollie's the new Chima I mean Dreamz reseller ? lol

I wish I bought that all in one Chima set at the end.  I actually like Chima a lot but it was not meant to be

Legoland even had a Chima section and lots of Chima product

Saw these at Walmart today and yes scanning the QR code works.

Went to the opening of the Bricks and Minifig store here in New Orleans. Was actually suprised by the ammount of people that showed up. The line wrapped around the building .

Im 6'3"and didnt expect them to be that tall.

I couldn’t resist. The theme along with the ease of finding the figs.

Just drove to Mississippi to pick this collection up. Great price.

NIce find! Looks like a lot of gems in there. Got to ask, how much did you pay?

$1800.  The person I bought it from was just tired of Lego and wanted the room back. So part of the deal was I had to take it all including the table the city was on and all the bins under the table and the random sets they had in the house.  It was worth the 1 1/2 hr drive.
