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

I bought the 4184 POTC Black Pearl.

Wal-Mart

4x GOTG: Milano - $11 each

4x GOTG: Milano - $20 each (random stop on the way to the mall with the family)

2x GOTG: Nowhere Escape - $25 each (same random stop)

Target

3x Technic: Hot Rod - $19.98 each

Nicely done. The Knowheres and Milano will pair nice and at that buy-in you will have some healthy returns.

Walmart

3x 70816 Bennys Spaceship for $49ea

1x 76021 Milano for $35

1x 10569 Duplo Treasure Attack for $9

BN

1x 21005 Fallingwater $66.xx after 20% off coupon, 10% off member and a holiday $10 GC they sent me. The manager said no coupon on Lego. I said it says in the Toys and Games not the Hobbies section where the Architect sets are located. She put it through while grumbling under her breath.

K-Mart

Found two series 1 Mixels for $5ea.

My buddy (AFOL, not an investor) wanted my help to prep and sell his Imperial Flagship (10210, with box and instructions).  Spent about 2 hours taking pics, cleaning, and disassembling.  Listed it as a BIN on eBay for $499.   We're very good friends, he said to just give him $380 when it sold, I'd keep the rest for eBay fees, shipping, paypal, and my time and use of my account.   Well, the kit is fabulous, as most folks know.  He owed my $100 for a Rush ticket purchase last month, and I said, why don't I just give you $280 and we call it all even?  He was thrilled.   Can't wait to rebuild this, especially since I just carefully washed all the parts.

 

Here's a few of the parts drying out before sorting.

Good deal all around and it's a gorgeous set, this reminds me that I need to pull mine out and build it again.

parting out is not everyone's game. i sincerely hope that you are moving lot of those bricks.

Ended up grabbing more series 13 figs last night.

Many more of that sweet and sexy investment: The Double-Decker Couch. I am pushing my chips all-in on this set my friends!

40158 Pirates Chess Set 

 

I've been waiting in anticipation for a chess set and this is the first one to come out since I've started collecting. 

I'm excited that it has some features that I love (pieces stored in board, board separates for storage.)

Buying my limit of this one.

How many are you up to now? Parting out some or gonna hold on to them to sell them complete?

For me - not enough. I'm going to get a few a month and just keep stocking up. For a $15 set, there's such a small risk.

I think it's going to be great to part out and to sell as a set. I don't think you can lose either way.

I think you may want to wait to part it out for now. After these sets retire, there will probably be demand for these. And, as the other movies get closer to release, we should see demand increase again.

I'm sure the minifigs they do for the sequel will be redesigns and not exactly like these.

You pretty Californians with the 80 degree weather.  OK, maybe I should have said tank tops.

Yes! I was very happy when it got above 32 degrees for the first time in at least a month. Unfortunately, this nice weather is not lasting for long.
