So I didn't get scooped, whew. Picked them up today: Porsche 911 GT3RS (the main box was open, but doesn't look like the 5 inner boxes were even touched), 24-Hour LeMans (box opened, bags sealed), used Ferrari F-40 (complete w/ box & extra pieces), and used Technic Heavy Helo (complete w/ box and extras).  $375. I'll definitely keep the F-40 to go with VW's and Mini. I'll definitely move the Helo on.  I'll probably build, then sell the 24.  The 911 is the hard choice, I could sell it easily and quickly for $300 as-is, sell the Helo for $75 and break even with a "free" F-40 and anything I got on the 24 would be profit, but man I want to build that bad boy.  I was amazed at how big it was when I saw it at the Lego Store, thought it would be slightly bigger than the Creator cars. That massive manual is currently calling my name from the table 3 feet away. 

Thoughts?

Keep. Next question.

For those four sets at that price I would keep them all. You're going to want that Porsche for your personal collection at some point..... If you think about it that way, that's like $75 for the other three sets. They will make a great looking display. 

Besides, you already told us you want the F40 to go with your other creator cars. You're literally out no money to keep the 24 hour race car and cargo helo.

Totally nit-picking, but are you sure on the price of the Phantom? Mine were $24.63 each.

You are correct good sir.  They did give us an extra discount for being discontinued!

I bought 2 double decker couch and one White House. Thanks fellow pickers for  the headsup 

Funny that the DDC listing isn't one of the first few when you search for "Lego Double Decker Couch" on Amazon. Fine with this guy. 

Used promo savemore, bogo 40 and 16% off gc to get speed champions 75876 and 75912 for $73 out of pocket. Also was able to do the same combo to get speed champions 76873, 75872 and 75871 along with raid zepellin ninjago and iron golem minecraft set for roughly $54 out of pocket. Finally, for 2 star wars the phantom for just a little below msrp from Amazon this morning.

One of the advantages of living in an area where there are few resellers is that I often get the chance to pick up retired sets way past eol

75015 - Corporate Alliance Tank Droid - One of 2 sets that has Jango Fett minifig

75028 - Clone Turbo Tank microfighter

I've seen 3/4 of those within the past 2 months.

2x 75875 Ford F-150 Raptor & Ford model A hot rod @ tru.com for a total of $47.98  

bogo 40% off, savemore (20%off), groupon $10 for $20 GC, 20% off GC. 

Finally sprung for 60052 / City Cargo Train @ TRU.  Was 20% off, plus 20% SAVEMORE, plus Groupon (20 for 10) and 20% off GC knocked it down to $96 cash outlay.  Feels like a win.

Haha! I picked up the exact same Speed Champions sets on my first try, but then cancelled and exchanged the LaFerrari for the 458, because I didn't like the fact that after SAVEMORE and BOGO40% I was still paying more than the $14.99 MSRP for the set (ok, if I had evened out the BOGO40% it would have been a slight discount), given that TRU's markup makes the set $19.99. Went for 458 because it has the less insane marked up price of $17.99, and together with my Minecraft sets it got me to $75.16 total to qualify for 20% off

Here is fun true story. Buy TRU GC off eBay ..order from TRU stacking 20% off with 20%.. Well 3 hours I get a cancelation saying my shipping address does not match PayPal digital gifts.  SERIOUSLY!!?
