January 10, 201411 yr 43 of 40034 Christmas Train ($2.20CAN taxed.). I`m so happy with this one! Hit up a random Target while out of town. All the really good stuff was gone' these were all on a shelf 2 aisles away from the rest of the Lego stuff and unmarked. Grabbed one and went to scan and sure enough, score! I know Target is expected to further reduce these, but I won`t be in that area again anytime soon and that`s a healthy enough profit margin for me.
January 10, 201411 yr VW van 10220, Haunted house both from lego.com, Ghost train $60 target clearance, Samurai Mech $30 target, evryone's favorite barrel and fun house combo from TRU, 3 attack of the wargs $30 target clearance (son keeps one for the wargs), 4 friends emma's karate class for $4 at target.
January 10, 201411 yr Apple Tree House from Toys r Us. $41...their retail was 59.99. Added another overpriced set to get up over $60 and the $15 discount.
January 10, 201411 yr 43!!! Wow! I found one on the shelf at my Target ($2.22 taxed here) so I grabbed it. I bought one for $3.49+ tax on boxing day - think it's worth it to get it price adjusted? Will they even price adjust something I've purchased from before? Don't know how this works lol. 43 of 40034 Christmas Train ($2.20CAN taxed.). I`m so happy with this one!

Will they even price adjust something I've purchased from before? Don't know how this works lol. Ya I was surprised myself. Very grateful they didn`t attempt to hang them and thus pierce the polybags (I`ve been to a couple TRUs that do this...really annoying/frustrating to look at). I`ve inspected all of them this evening and everything is excellent and perfectly sealed. Haha, for $1.25 seems like just a hassle, but it would dramatically increase your profit margin in this case . Don`t quote me on it, but I`m pretty sure they do have a price protection guarantee. My guess would be 7 days if that was the case lol. Maybe it`s on the receipt, I`ll have to check.
January 10, 201411 yr More Hobbit Barrel Escapes, plus Laketown Guard polybag from TRU. My TRU is now restocked with previously sold out merch. Polybags galore. Including the Thanksgiving turkey and the Halloween witch. Even saw 2013 SW Advent Calendar. Sheesh.

Have any canadians seen the Laketown polybag around? I'm thinking it should be popping up in either Target or TRU since TRU US is getting them.
January 10, 201411 yr Picked up the Parisian today. No discounts except a few VIP points. Good weekend project with the kids!
January 10, 201411 yr Just when I thought I was out, 10181 pulls me back in. 10181 Eiffel Tower with beat up box and above avg manuals for $513.
January 10, 201411 yr Walmart: 8 x Friends Heartlake Flying Club @ 14.96 1 x Batwing Battle Over Gotham @ 25 (got lucky in the store, as other stores had this listed online, but cancelled my S2S order after the fact. For personal collection.) Another Walmart had a Monster Fighter Ghost Train on the shelf. The box was pretty beaten up, but I wanted one for my own collection (only MF set I'm missing), but when I picked up the box, it sounded like a rain stick...all the pieces were loose and one flap was taped shut. It scanned at $54, but I passed...no telling what may be missing and I wasn't about to cut open the box and start rifling through it at the CS counter. Oh well...
January 10, 201411 yr My parents went to an estate sale while I was in school today and they found some Lego sets. Mostly old 1970's classic space sets.

January 10, 201411 yr I found a new 6754 Family Home brand new in store with sportin goods.They have several lego sets but nothing too big except for this one. It has some moderate shelf ware but got it for 50
January 10, 201411 yr Picked up a Heartlake Vet and the Robie House at B&****** today for $176.81 after tax.
January 10, 201411 yr I second that! You have awesome parents Yep. They are awesome. When they showed me the listing online, it only showed a small Lego box, and another small box of pieces. When I got home today, there was multiple bags sitting and boxes sitting under our Christmas tree. It was like Christmas morning all over again.
January 10, 201411 yr Just bought set 4999 - the Vestas wind turbine - used. I have been wanting this set for a while.

January 10, 201411 yr Picked up an 8110 - Unimog, on sale for $139.99 plus tax, from a local LEGO store.
January 10, 201411 yr Awesome! Have you identified any of the sets yet? So far, 6930 Space Supply Station 6951 Robot Command Center 6950 Mobile Rocket Transport 6848 Interplanetary Shuttle About ten more sets to go. Most of them are sets less than 100 pieces, but there is one 500+ pieces set that I am guessing is in the lot.
January 11, 201411 yr 12 x Robin Redbird Cycle at a TRU to get to $60 for the $15 off 1 x Ultra Sonic Raider at a Kmart for $57. Scanned as Destiny's Bounty, haha. A few Emerald Express mini sets at Target and B&******. Retail, just wanted to have them. One Calvin and Hobbes book for my son and I to read. :-)
January 11, 201411 yr 2 more Unexpected Gatherings. By far the best Hobbit set (and possibly LOTR as well) so far. I absolutely love it.
