Well both of them replies make it so much clearer ?

For those who may have missed out on the 40223 Snow Globe promotion, the Lego Store I stopped in today (it was near Baltimore) has them for $9.99 with a 10% sale (came to 9.53 total).  I bought one for my kids and left about 10.  The boxes are not mint.  It is not available on Shop Lego.  

In other news, an employee at the store gave a good tip on finding retired sets for one's own collection, though they are a retail prices, when I asked if they had any 41135 Livi's Pop Star Houses left.  She told she recently bought a Hobbit set at a nearby Hallmark store.  No, I did not find the friends set my daughter so wants (I have gone to at least 13 stores in the area and still nothing), but I did see retired sets like 76007 Iron Man: Malibu Mansion Attack (2013) and the Dolphin Cruiser.  I was secretly hoping to find a leftover Wolverine's Chopper Showdown or Ant-Man Final Battle set, but to no avail.  

All this for $30. Dug through and found some Star Wars, Dr who, D.C. And marvel stuff as well as the 2 mine craft sets and one opened and unopened bionicle sets. Missing some mininfigures and probably some pieces but I was blown away at this deal.

Found a couple 31032 - Creator: Red Creatures today at an out of the way KMart. Added a 41173 - Elves: School of Dragons to get me in $10 off $50 coupon range.

Sounds like you were at same store as me today. Ironically they had 1 Pop Star house sitting behind cashier. Arundel Mills?

I figure it's boring to say this everyday, so I'll just say that I've bought at least one LEGO Dimensions set everyday for the last two weeks.

Made the trek to the Lego Store for the Harley poster, left with the Valentines vignette and a handful of $1.65 santa keychains. Stopped at WM and grabbed 6x bat signal polys (at the 2nd WM; had the same issue as many at the first and wasted 25 min + drive time).

I passed on a 41135 today.  I believe it was retail.  If I drive through the area again, I'll grab it and ship it to you if you want.  I'm sure there's some kmart magic I could pull to make it cheaper.

Bought a sith infiltrator and a resistance trooper for 50% off from SAH. Honestly didn't think I would be buying anything until Q4 this year but this was too good to past up.

 

Not a set but I bought high quality replacement stickers for my 10019 Blockade Runner. Who knows when or if I'll get to it though.

Doe's that mean y'all are going to crucify me for leaving two at $35 each?

(In my defense the boxes were not in the greatest condition)

I have a hard time buying anything that I can't get past the FBA inspectors.  If they would've passed, you probably should have gotten them.  They will sell for more than $100 during the holidays.

Heh. I cant even sell Lego on FBA, I'm gated baby! ?

I found another (Christmas return) $20 Jakku hiding in the Sams Club book section along with a lonely $5 Emily Elves set at Walmart.

1x 21307 C7 to build and I have a buyer ready to pay £20 for the Batman polybag as soon as it arrives.

Bought this lot on eBay yesterday. Listed at £40 or best offer. Managed to get them down to £38 (thought I'd get a bit more but didn't want to miss out). All in including postage and forwarding fee to ROI will set me back about €60

Great deal but that fireplace insert must cost a fortune to ship .....

Whether you get the stickers on or not, just take the dang thing off your toilet.

It's not sanitary.
