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

I bought the 4184 POTC Black Pearl.

Argh! Every rcss around me has garbage....

Me too... 20% off two city sets. Yuck.

Bought another Power Armor Lex at TRU. Price matched Amazon at $15 - $5 rewards.

This is my favorite way to spend TRU rewards but this time it took them about 10 minutes to confirm the Amazon price. They even called the manager. V

That's good thinking right there.

Grab two battle at the black gate and a small sw battlepack today. Need to stop spending!

Only seven Death Stars are left from amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002EEP3NO/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=

 

1 left. 

 

picked up 2.

Picked up 1 more LEGO Super Heroes Superman Vs Power Armor Lex 6862 at Target. Had them match Amazon's price of $15.00

Pirate ship ambush. Going to build it tonight

today i took back 54 Homer, Bart, and Marge, Lisa, Maggies Flanderseses to walmart.

almost just walked out without even peaking  at the lego section.

went over and there are two brickin' brand new boxes of Simpsons minifigs which i haven't seen in a month.

brand new because I went through all of em' in 20 minutes and smooshed 6 Apus, Burns and Grandpas and boosting my total number of complete sealed sets to 19.

Picked up 3x Space Centers from TRU clearance. Also picked up at retail a Unimog from a local toy store. Left 1 on the shelf. Also left 3 JP's there as well. They had 3x Logging Trucks too.

Wife picked up a Logging Truck via scratch & dent at TLS.  Wife misunderstood and passed up a Unimog.  Went back and it was gone.

My 2 "Friends" Dolphin Cruiser's arrived from Amazon today........Minty mint

So obviously you see this set as having potential.  These are the first mini figs series I have bought.   I have 2 unopened sets and 2 opened.  I always think abou tbuying more since they are 3 a pack meijer.   right now I'm having a hard time selling them for 70 as in I can't.  Do the mini figure series go up in value decently?

i sold 3 sets early on for $90 but then the price dropped out.  

even at $90 I didn't feel like it was worth it but those had the corner snipped open.

now i only have sealed ones.

i think  you need to hold these until at the very least, they sell out on LEGO Shop at Home and go extinct at retail stores.

then time will tell.

I think Christmas sales will have some prognostic value.

this is one of those sets you either believe in or you don't.

i am a long time simpson fan and am confident that i will get a decent ROI.

i am not chasing CAGR with this.

also i have already started building a position in Simpson Houses.  

pairing these in the future with Simpson house will be useful.

i have also been keeping pairs of more common itchy and scratchy as these are just AWESOME.

especially scratchy.

if you don't like the simpsons, i'm not sure i would recommend buying 19 of these.

even if you do i'm not sure i recommend it.

either way my goal was for 20 sets and counting my own, i'm done smooshing.

Picked a used 10198 Tantive iV, used 9397 Logging Truck, full set of the Simpsons figs, and the LEGO movie. Pretty good day for me.

That is some serious smooshing.  120 in 20 min, That is a talent my friend..lol  smh

You I'd like all you 'smoothers' to know that I think you suck and that you are thieves.  A random mini figure pack is supposed to be random.   When a kid goes and picks one or more up and buys them they are buying that randomness.   When you go in and cherry pick the more desirable figures without actually paying for the items, you are stealing value from the rest of the box by destroying the random distribution of those figures.  

 

So stop doing this, or find a way to feel good about the fact that you are a thief.

I didn't buy any Lego, but I feel like going to the theater and buying a large popcorn to watch the show.

 

PSST Fogelbaby, did you miss the show in the "Other investments" thread?

Ha. I'd argue that most kids pick through the CMS bags, actually. Many parents too. Oftentimes, I see parents picking through bags while their children look at the LEGO sets. 

"Smoothers"???

Please tell me more about this...

 

 

No purchase of lego's but I did help at least 1 member purchase some ecto-1's @ amazon this morning so there's that...

While I understand your frustration, kids are just as guilty as adults on this subject.  I have never seen an adult smooshing CMF's but have seen many kids doing it.  I "smoosh" to build one set for our collection and don't feel bad about it all, because I know there is a good chance the person before me did it, and the next person will do it as well.

I have been to several LEGO stores and seen adults smooshing the CMF bags.  TLG must have been ok with smooshing, otherwise they would have asked the employees to confront those "thieves"

I went to Toyrus, the manager at the customer counter was smooshing with her employees, At Legoland Carsbad in CA, I went to the counter and told the employee the few Simpsons minifigures I was missing, he smooshed and found the last two I needed.  I went to Walmart and one of the employees was smooshing the Simpsons minifigs.  If you don't want to pay the high prices on Ebay for individual minifigs, this is the only way to complete your set.

If a person finds what they want and pays for the item before leaving the store then how can it be considered theft?

Got my first Grand Emporium today and also another Sail Barge and a Rancor pit

Bought two 9468 Vampyre Castles today for 100 euro each.

So has anyone taken advantage of the current deal that Target is offering?  You buy the Lego movie and get $10 off an already discounted $25 set.  The three sets are the 70805 Trash Chomper set, 70804 Ice Cream Machine set, and 70802 Bad Cop's Pursuit.  I bought the movie and then got the Trash Chomper for $15, and then I bought 2 more sets for $25 a piece.  I should have bought 3 movies, got each set for $15, then returned the two movies.  Has anyone else done this?
