Just like the title asks, what LEGO set did you buy today?

I bought the 4184 POTC Black Pearl.

Got battle of Helm's Deep on ebay.es for under 90

2 Diagons 10217 one to keep one to build

My wife had an eye doctor appointment last night, so while she was at that I wandered around town and stopped at Target. They had Series 7 minifigs still there, so I bought three hoping to get one of the ones I'm looking for (Aztec Warrior especially). Turned out to be the Bunny Suit Guy (ok- I'll probably keep it), the Intergalactic Patrol (already have one- it's going on eBay), and the Bride (not very interested). So I struck out there. BUT I did pick up #9461- the Swamp Creature set from Monster Fighters. Very nice little set! The first- and probably the only -Monster Fighter set I've gotten. I got it mainly for the minifigs- they're pretty cool. And the nostalgia of a $7 set- brought back memories of saving and saving as a youngster to buy similarly priced Aquazone, Space, and Johnny Thunder sets. :)

6869 Quinjet Aerial Battle for $49 6864 The Batmobile and the Two-Face Chase for $37 Not great deals but I am putting a lot of faith in the super hero stuff. I think it will pay off in the end.

I've just got 4000007 - Ole Kirk's House today. So I'm a happy man today. Also got 2 Set of 8674 - Ferrari F1 Racer 1:8. But with boxes open but bags inside are unopened. I must say that I envie you guys in the US and Lego prices. Here in Europe Lego prices are a bit higher. Lennart

This may or may not be considered a great deal, depending on a person's pont of view. I'm a little late to the game with Harry Potter sets, since I just recently started buying Lego. I've been watching for this set recently. Harry Potter's Hogwart's Castle (4842) showed up available at YoYo.com when I was searching around today for $129.99. I signed up a relative for a YoYo account to use the YOYO30 new customer code which brought it down to $109.99 (free shipping, no tax). I thought this was pretty good for 4842, since it's been steadily selling for $160-$200 on EBay recently. I'd like to have multiples of this set, but I've spent too much recently. I did get a Diagon Alley last month when Amazon ran the $20 off $100 promotion, so I'm glad I jumped on it when I did, since these will go nicely together.

Toys r us on times square has the recently retired 10219 Lego Maersk for 129.00.Wish I had money tobuy more. Picked up also the 5 retired 8092 Luke's Landspeeder in Mint conditionfor half off each at 12.00 at a Walmart on a stop while driving through PA... I hope this was a good deal

what exactly do you mean when you say toys r us recently retired these sets? Only The Lego group decides which sets are retiring......

I meant that Toys R Us Has the Recently Retired Sets in Stock... a few left...Just in case anyone is in New York and want to get some.

Oh I see.....well I think they will probably get more landspeeders in but as for the maersk train I think its pretty much done everywhere.

Glad you got a 10129 though it will work out nicely for you.

Just picked up 3 Ghost Trains at 39.98 each as well as 3 Batmobiles at 24.98 each at Target....

Are all Targets Lego's half off?

Are all Targets Lego's half off?

Not at mine, they weren't. Only a few odd sets actually were. I suppose it really depends on where you live. I know at my Target when I was just there the other day, they had a few of the GAMES "Minotaurus" set and (I kid you not) almost 100 of the STAR WARS - PLANETS "Naboo" set for half-off. (That doesn't bode well for investment on that particular set, now does it?) As for anything else, nothing. I did find a CREATOR "Propellor Adventures" set for around 35-40%, but that was it. I went out of my way and scanned a few items to see if maybe they were on sale, but alas they went back up to normal retail.

Oh well, I need to save so I can purchase this year's offerings anyway.

I guess I will go check out my local Target stores. You never know till you check!

Got 4 10229 Winter Village at Lego yesterday @ 20% off... and 3 6231 Speeda Demon at Target @ 50% off..

Very true. Sometimes you just have to be in the right place at the right time.

Happened upon a Kai's Blade Cycle that was returned to Target and was being put back out on the shelf. It was on clearance for $10.48. So I got a retired set for 30% off. It's not that big of a deal, but even the small victories feel good. :)

Hey, you take what you can get.

And you should feel good, small or not.

I ended up lucking out. I went to my local Target and I found three Ghost Trains for $40, and one The Mummy for $6. Not bad for just checking one Target.

Was at Wal Mart yesterday and picked up a Harry Potter Bus (set #4866) for 15.00......

Damn...and I was pumped about my 3 buses at 34.99 a pop...

Yeah, and I was just in there the day before and it was priced at 34.97, but the box is not in great shape. I might just open and display. I still think any Harry Potter that can be found now for regular price is a good deal. All of the last wave of sets are seeing considerable increases on eBay....Just make sure you check your Barnes and Noble stores if u have any in your area. The ones around me still have a few.....

The TRU by me has about ten left as of this AM. The boxes are in GREAT shape. I just didn't want to spend 400 on the bus. (I already have like 6 TRU doesn't even have the Harry Potter LEGO section on their website anymore.

Today I found: 5886 T-Rex Hunter for $60 (local toystore), 3 Forbidden Forests (Gamestop Kids) at $9, and 7985 City of Atlantis (Barnes and Noble) at $44. I am debating on returning the Atlantis or not
