I picked up:  #75105, #75104 and #75140 from a local Meijer this Saturday during their extra 20% off clearance items.  Got all 3 for $210.  Pretty good compared to buying off eBay or paying retail at the local brick and mortar stores.

1 Blue power jet 31039 

30€ at local store (-50%)

Is there a new smyths coupon out or did you use staff discount?

No. Just popped in and saw one hiding on the top shelf and asked for it. Bloke said "been here ages this, didn't think we ere ever going to sell it" so I said anything you can do for it? So he said "how's 10% off sound" and well, yeah that'll do.

Went to the local Lego store today with the family.

Someone returned a sealed Lincoln Memorial earlier that day so I bought that for $23 along with some Batman minifig polys (2 Red Hoods I think).

Picked up 2 replacement promo Batman movie polybags (wife 'accidentally' threw out the original ones from Jan 2. - made her ask for them).

Just picked up this cl lot for a hundo. 8 first gen friends sets, sponge party, crafting box new in open box, couple city trucks, and a couple tubs. The sets are all bagged individually. The little girl assured me they were complete, sure enough I built spongebob and it was all there including extra pieces. 

 

ordered this:

but received this:

either way, price $10. Kmart.

Bought this bad boy (42009) for $80 Saturday off of the app "Offer Up". Ad was 5 months old, but sent a message to the seller on the off chance it was still available. Score! 

Damaged box Minecraft Jungle Tree House $40 at Kroger Marketplace.

Well , yesterday I pulled the trigger on the modulars offer I had locally , all the modulars up to Palace cinema.... here's the first one I just finished building... not a missing piece..

whos fat gent?

From what I hear, he is the national treasure of the United Kingdom

2 Death Star Final Duels 75093 at TRU for $48.65 each after price match, rewards, discounted gift cards and tax.

Saw the 75140 - Resistance Troop Transporter on offer for €47,99 (from RRP €79,99) and had to get one after all. Especially since it's retired already since last December and includes the until now unique Admiral Leia minifig. 40% discount from RRP for an already retired set that's sold elsewhere for €60 or higher.  

Brave man to break the 60% off on non OT Star Wars rule.

Did Leia get a posthumous promotion then?

Oh, I mis-wrote her rank. It's not admiral but general. Oh well, what's in a rank...  

Quoting from Disney Wikia:

After the Battle of Endor, Han and Leia have a son named Ben, who studies the Force under his uncle, Luke Skywalker. However, Ben turns to the dark side, becoming Kylo Ren, and forces Luke to go into hiding. In the years following Ben's fall, Han and Leia separate, and Leia becomes a general of the Resistance, actively seeking her brother's location.

Admiral and General are equivalent ranks. Admiral is just specific to the Navy in most places.

I know, I thought posthumous promotion sounded better than transfer from army to navy, better ring to it

Not a bad deal, the ferry will hopefully be the rarer item well after EOL. Are those the packing kernels that taste like unflavoured Wotsits/Cheetos?
