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

I bought the 4184 POTC Black Pearl.

A very pleasant EBay deal this week.  2 LOTR: Uruk Hai Army and a LOTR: Orc Forge for $70 shipped.  They were packed great and in great condition.

I can't believe you guys are still finding Cap Cycles.  They have been nonexistent around here for half a year.

pics or it never happened

Be careful or you might end up accidentally trusting someone. That would be terrible...   

4865 harry potter forbidden forest for $10 and 2254 ninjago mountain shrine for $18. $28 total for both. includes shipping. both from the same seller. 100% complete with boxes and instructions off of ebay.

Got this from a thrift/collectible (this is just a google image) store today....Super excited! I need to build it to verify the pieces are all there, but I did verify all minifigs are there as well as the instructions. Sweet!

 

I picked up at LOTR Shelob's Lair for 30% off.  We'll see if I keep it.

Great find! How much did that gem cost? I am assuming you got a sweet deal if you found it in a thrift store. Congrats!

Nice score! (I don't even care what you bought it for! ) Even though this set came out a few years before I was born. LOL 

 

That set kind of is reminding me of Lincoln Logs or something. I really like the name of the set though: "Fort Legoredo".

50 bucks. Not astronomically great, but this place was more of an antique store that a true thrift store, despite the fact they were called Lady Anne's thrift shop. I still think it was a good deal at 50 considering I got the box in fairly decent shape and the instructions. I found it on CL and called them immediately, but someone else was already "holding" it. When they didn't show up she held it for me and I went and picked it up this morning!

$50 is a great price for that set! Good for you! That's awesome. I built that one a few years ago and had a blast with it. Assuming its mostly there you should do well on it.

Hey guys, what do you think about Mersek train for $189 and Black Pearl pirate ship for $179?  Both are brand new in mint box.

Fort Legoredo? Are you kidding me? And it's the first version too (rereleased in 2002)! Awesome sauce man, I hope you keep that beauty for yourself!

Investment or to build?

Yeah, I'm pretty happy to get to build this. But my kids aren't really fans of it, so this will probably be something I do for me and then maybe in a few months sell for a little profit. Maybe I'll post it on BC once that goes up so a real fan can get a chance to get it a little cheaper and build it when I'm done. We'll see.

Not much left on the bone for investing, but if you're looking to build, have at it.

I bought a huuuuge used lot today. I'm going to be sorting through everything for the next month. I may be in over my head a little lol. Might post a pic later!

A New 4842 Hogwarts Castle for $105.... Now to wait and see if it was not a scam.

Had a conversation with the seller. It seems to be a kid getting rid of some of his old stuff, so I feel better now

New Star Wars sets - 75018, 75019, 75021. The AtTe and Dropship are awesome sets. Jeks fighter not so much, but I got it for $35 and the minifigs are cool. Haven't decided whether to part it out yet - anyone have success with that one?

Complete Market Street for $490... Hope to flip quickly for $100+ profit

I loved that set when I was a kid. Great times....

2 more SW MISB - 2x Jabbas Palace at $65 apiece. Dare I ask if this set is heading EOL this year?

It is. Official LEGO announcement is that it will be retiring at the end of this year, due to the little scandal over its resemblance to a mosque.

It is not being retired for any other reason than Lego had originally planned to do so after a certain amount of time same as every other set. The 'other guy' in that scenario interpreted the whole thing whichever way they wanted.
