December 29, 201212 yr Picked up 6 of the MTT polybags and 1 Star Destroyer polybag from Walmart for $1.50 each. Hey! You finally found some MTT's! At a good price, too.
December 30, 201212 yr I bought some Series 8 minifigures for 50% off at Target. Also some Monster Fighter Mummy sets and DC Super Hero Sets were 33% off at Target as well. I also saw the Legends of Chima sets for the first time and I liked them. Rather small sets, but cool idea.
December 30, 201212 yr Hey! You finally found some MTT's! At a good price, too. Yea, finally. Don't know why my stores come out with sets weeks later than others. Picked up the Shuttle Expedition 10231 from TRU for $94. Was wanting to pick this up for a while and now was a great time to.
December 30, 201212 yr Picked up two Monster FIghter Mummy Sets at Target for 33% off and also got a Monster Fighter Swamp Creature set. Then I went to the LEGO store and finally bought the Grand Emporium. I had enough LEGO VIP points to bring the price down to $105 so I feel pretty good about that!
December 31, 201212 yr Followed buckeyefandan on this one...I really like the monster fighters set. Picked up: Monster Fighters the Mummy (2) Monster Fighters The Swamp thing (2) - one for my son to open and play with. Monster Fignters The Werewolf Monster Fighters The Vampyre Hearse Monster Fighters Haunted House Mincraft (34.99+tax) - only one at Barnes & Nobles, someone may of returned it? Anyone have any advice for this novice - if you had to choose one to buy right now which would it be? Diagon Alley or the Emporium? Thanks in advance!
December 31, 201212 yr Anyone have any advice for this novice - if you had to choose one to buy right now which would it be? Diagon Alley or the Emporium? Thanks in advance! For myself, I really want that "Grand Emporium". But "Diagon Alley" is on the verge of retiring and going for good, so perhaps that.
December 31, 201212 yr ^^ Buy the one you like more. You may want to buy 10217 though, since it should be gone before the Emporium (10217 is listed as retiring soon on the Lego website).
December 31, 201212 yr Thanks for the advice, I went ahead and bought the 10217. I'll pick up the Emporium soon enough....
December 31, 201212 yr A big clearance haul, all 25-33% off 3x Quinjet 6x Batmobile/Two Face 10x MF Mummy 5x Captain America 1x Jabba's Palace Also a couple half off Duplo sets (for the kid on the way) and a few Star Wars minifig clocks (half off at Wally World) I really need to do some brickfolio updating, considering this and the rest of the Christmas season buys. Gotta get everything current for the new year!
December 31, 201212 yr My son with his Christmas Money bought the New Arkham Asylum.....and (please sit down) opened it.....and has been playing with it since 0900 this morning.
December 31, 201212 yr Local sale of Star Wars sets at 40% off Picked up one of each: 9495 Gold Leader's Y-wing 9515 Malevolence 7930 Bounty Hunter Assault Gunship 7931 T-6 Jedi Shuttle 9500 Sith Fury-class Interceptor
December 31, 201212 yr ^^ Buy the one you like more. You may want to buy 10217 though, since it should be gone before the Emporium (10217 is listed as retiring soon on the Lego website). I agree. I feel like the "Grand Emporium" will be around for a little longer. It's one of my favorite modular designs. Thanks for the advice, I went ahead and bought the 10217. I'll pick up the Emporium soon enough.... No problem. I hope I'll have a chance to buy myself a "Grand Emporium" before it's 'End-of-Line' which may happen by the end of next year perhaps. You'll make a nice profit with the "Diagon Alley" very soon. Don't know why my stores come out with sets weeks later than others. I don't know why sometimes it takes months for mine to get current sets. Or take a whole year to get last year's offerings! Oh well, I'm glad you found some MTT's for yourself considering you were cool enough to post a news topic on your site about my findings. It kinda bummed me out when you said you couldn't find any from before.
January 1, 201312 yr i want a superstar destroyer really bad. i think it stands like 4 ft tall and weighs like 8 lbs. when complete
January 1, 201312 yr Picked up 3 Minecraft sets + 3 boxes of Top 5 VIP Minifigs which were on sale, all this on LEGO Shop at Home
January 2, 201312 yr Where are the Top 5 VIP Minifigs listed on S@H? I don't think they sell that item anymore. I can't find it anywhere, even after doing a 'search'.
January 2, 201312 yr Well after visiting just about every Walmart, Meijer and Target in a 50 mile radius over the last week and scoring some good finds I decided to go back out today to a couple I skipped originally and revisit a few where I had already been. I can say just about everywhere I visited was cleaned out. This is the first time in a week of lego hunting that I came home empty handed. Hoping there are some good online sales in the weeks to come.
January 2, 201312 yr Picked up the Rancor Pit, the Ninjago Golden Dragon, and a couple of Series 9 minifigures. Also get the free Chima promotional polybag.
January 2, 201312 yr Where are the Top 5 VIP Minifigs listed on LEGO Shop at Home? You got to log in with your ID on LEGO Shop at Home. On LEGO Shop at Home in Switzerland where I live and bought them, they are in the current deals section (~15$ instead of 20$). Also note that you have to be a VIP to see/buy them in the shop if I'm not mistaken ;)
January 3, 201312 yr I have been closely watching the sets marked Retiring Soon on Lego.com and when the Imperial Shuttle changed to "Sold out" recently, I picked one up from Amazon for $20 off retail. It just arrived today in great condition!

January 3, 201312 yr Found some sets on clearance at Meijer today. Only 25% off but worth getting even if I keep them for myself. Star Wars Tie Fighter 9492 for $37 Star Wars Gungan Sub 9499 for $52 Monster Fighters The Crazy Scientist & His Monster 9466 for $37
January 3, 201312 yr After finding no clearance sales at the Walmarts and Targets near my home I finally found one at Shopko a place I didn't even know existed a couple months ago! 9591 Ninjago Weapon Pack $12.74 4202 City Mining Truck $23.74 9466 Mad Scientist and his Monster $25.49 9467 Ghost Train $40.79 9500 Sith Fury Class Interceptor $33.99 9472 Attack on Weathertop $35.69 7346 Seaside House $25.49 They only had about one in four of their Lego sets on sale, but it was enough!

The 2 Shopkos I hit up in Lincoln were cleaned out, going to have to check the other one to see if any of these deals are there, those are some amazing prices.
January 3, 201312 yr The 2 Shopkos I hit up in Lincoln were cleaned out, going to have to check the other one to see if any of these deals are there, those are some amazing prices. Shopko's deals seem to be store specific, I went to another one 5 miles away and they had totally different things on sale at about 15% off, I didn't buy anything there.
