May 21, 201312 yr Two 8110 for 100 Euros ( super sale in local retailer in Belgium) Which retailer was that?
May 21, 201312 yr Went to tru with my kid and went alittle nuts...........2 barrel escapes retail, but found 2 winter village bakeries for retail also......not so bad
May 22, 201312 yr Lego set 456 sealed. ......You're kidding me? That is some collectible finding The Spirit of St. Louis in its original box.
May 22, 201312 yr Attack on Weathertop $18 at Target in the Lego aisle with clearance tag for $41. Hit price checker and Home Run!!! Now if I could just get the price checker to mark down Two Face chase and Hulk break out! Shout out to Kerrmando for cool idea asking Gamestop workers if they have any polybags lying around. Scored a Lex Luthor free of charge. Guy wouldn't even let me pay for it.
May 22, 201312 yr Shout out to Kerrmando for cool idea asking Gamestop workers if they have any polybags lying around. Scored a Lex Luthor free of charge. Guy wouldn't even let me pay for it. This. I was able to score 5, with some roadblocks here and there. First, they aren't allowed to sell it to you. It's a free promotional item that doesn't scan. Second, even though it's an "old" promotional fig, managers 'can' use old promos as incentives for new game reserves. After calling literally 12 or so Gamestops in my area, I was able to score three from various locations for free with no problems, and one Gamestop employee is holding one for me personally when I am in the area next. One Gamestop manager, though, played some real hardball with me. He had three figures and claimed they were for some future promotion, even though I know the Lex Luthors were only pre-order bonuses for the LEGO Batman 2: DC Superheroes game from June of last year. I tried to off to put some reserves for games to get him to let me have the figures, but he still wouldn't budge. He ended up giving me one in good faith after some more back and forth, but I didn't feel good about it. Either way, they are neat figures and great finds. Thanks again to Kerrmando. Back to the topic, I bought two Series 10 Sea Captains after searching through a very ravaged box at a K-mart. I only bothered to feel through it because they had them erroneously on sale for 2.54.
May 22, 201312 yr Was making a returned at local TRU store and thought let's just take a quick peek to see anything interesting or a weird deal. Found one box of HP The Forbidden Forest. I don't have any HP sets since I started my Lego hobby in Feb/Mar this year or even watched the movies but always wanted this sets because of the 4 minifigures and wasn't expensive. Was happy to pay the $17 CAN retail price.
May 22, 201312 yr As much as I don't like TRU, picked up 2 Barrel Escapes today. They also had about 2 boxes worth of Series 10 in a big display, was finally able to find the Trendsetter, she had been impossible to find.

Still can't find a Medusa in my area...I refuse to pay over retail for one, though. 2.99 or bust!
May 22, 201312 yr Thanks for the Shoutouts Gents =) Been getting stuff for free from gamestop for ages... Yes Orc King got 456 Sealed! Waiting on 162 sealed in the mail (found it at a steal for 149) In another news, Today picked up 6268 literally MISB... I have never seen a set from 1993 that looks this good. 200 dollars hah. Also Got 8014, 2258 and 2516 for 10 bucks a pop. And 4485 for free from the same lady Got a used SSD 100% complete with box and instructions for 200 as well!
May 23, 201312 yr A 9470 Shelob Attcks for full RRP at the Lego Store as no where in the UK (incl Ebay) seemed to be discounting them. Walked into Tesco to do my shopping, checked the Lego isle (naturally) and they were 25% off - Doh!!!! So I bought 2 more :)
May 23, 201312 yr 10230 Mini Modulars as 2 year wedding anniversary present, added 4 series 10 minifigs and qualified for the free Iron Man polybag. All from LEGO Shop at Home Spain :D
May 23, 201312 yr I ordered the 10230 Mini Modulars from lego.com And this afternoon I found four 9676 TIE Interceptor & Death Star sets for
May 23, 201312 yr I was casually browsing a local online-only store's webpage, and I found one Hagrid's Hut - 39 EUR and one Hogwarts Express - 75 EUR. Sadly they only had one piece each, but it's still a great deal!
May 24, 201312 yr Well I haven't actually been able to buy it yet, but I may have the opportunity to get a MISB SSD for 350 straight up. If I get this it will be my biggest single investment piece...how do you guys feel about this at this time and price point? Basically this is a CL deal in which they wanted the full 400 bucks, but the listing was almost a month old and they still had it, so I offered 350. They didn't answer after that so I assumed no, but then they came back a full day later and said they are thinking about it. So I'm trying to decide if it's worth it for me. It's not a whole lot off of retail, but then again, in the short time I've been investing I haven't seen this thing go on sale, either.
May 24, 201312 yr Josh, I don't have one yet either. If I could get it for that price, with no tax, and a good condition box, I like it at that price. One man's opinion. And related to this thread, just picked up another 4204 The Mine from Amazon.uk for about $60 USD after shipping. Hope it's a nice as the box I just received. I like this set, very unique and a lot of playability.
May 24, 201312 yr Bought 4 x Lego creator 6913 Blue Roadster on clearance for $6.98+tax (each) at my local target.
