I picked up a Jabba's Palace, desert skiff, couple of the naboo starfighter sets that come with the miniship and figure(were on clearance for 4.98) and 4 of the mini batmobile polybags. The jabba set was 95.99 and I had a 15.00 gift card, so was only 80.99 plus tax. The desert skiff was also 20% off, so was 19.99......

This post will mark my last purchase of 2012. Got everything at Target (nice STAR WARS sales).

Star Wars

Republic Striker-Class Fighter

Price cut to $35.99 from $44.99. I have sooo been wanting this one since I first saw it! Lots of red AND dark red parts!

Naboo Starfighter (from last year)

I originally thought this was going to ring up for $39.99, but when I looked at the receipt, it rang up for $27.99!

H-O-L-Y CRAP! That's practically half off!

City

Mining Quad

I kid you not. I found this previously Toys R Us only exclusive polybag at Target!

Target had a whole box of leftover MINIFIGURES from Series 7 and after a while of 'Zen Smooshing', I found the last two I needed to complete my Series 7 collection! Now I have two complete MINIFIGURES Series, 7 & 8!

Can I get a HELL YEAH!!!!

While I was at it, I also grabbed what few extras of some of the other Series 7 characters I could find (like the "Galaxy Patrol" and "Evil Knight" minifigs).

Phew. This surely has been an expensive year. I can hardly wait for the next one.

......crap.

LOL...Imagine what some kid or mother thinks when they see an adult man playing around with a couple of LEGO packages in the toy section. I like bringing my 3 year old son as cover for my LEGO fetish. I let him play with the spinners on the Ninjago display while I look at the sets. ;-)

Can't believe that there's still some Harry Potter out there - got The Burrows (4840) from Wally World for $47! Also found some Forbidden Forest sets for $7 each. They had about 5 of Ninjago 2504 Spinjitzu Dojo for $39 each, but I passed. Probably will wish that I had gotten that too, but I'm trying to not spend what little lego cash I have and hold out for after Christmas sales. Love the updates to site by the way, you guys rock!

Make sure to check Barnes and Noble also for the Harry Potter sets. There are still some of them with plenty available....,

Picked up 3 mirkwood elves (1 free) and 4 series 8 figs online from TRU. Finally had some success. Supposedly, if you spend $20 on legos you get a free mirkwood elf. So I said cool, I will get 3 (which was the limit) and pick up some filler to get over $20. Of course that didn't work online since the limit was 3. I called tru and I was able to finagle with the tru rep help 3 mirkwoods (1 free) and 4 series 8 minifigs for $24 shipped. Not too bad.

I know right?! Heh heh.

But actually no one has given me any kind of wierd grief about it. Lets see, one time at the checkout a couple was curious about the mystery bags. And another, a woman was browsing through a couple of them on the rack looking a little perplexed. So I asked if there was a specific character she was looking for. I think it was the "Bunny Suit Guy" or "Tennis Ace" from Series 7.

Heh, who ever thought you could help someone by essentially feeling a bunch of plastic bags? Ha!

Besides being a bit tedious with 'smooshing' all those bags, the noise each one makes when doing so gets pretty loud after a while. It's like the irritating noise caused by the guy who can't get that small bag of potato chips open to save his life.

I wouldn't lose sleep over it. What you paid for "The Burrow" and "The Forbidden Forest" were better deals. Plus those are way beyond "End-of-line" and should make nice investments. Not much of a deal on that "Spinjitzu Dojo" really. And I too am one of those people hoping for some good after Christmas sales.

Picked up the Bat vs Bane: Tumbler Chase and Stealth Shell in Pursuit at the LEGO Store. They're running low on stock for almost all the new sets.

Got a 7784 Batmobile on an ebay equivalent for 150$, new and sealed :)

Picked up a Tower Bridge before they were all gone!!!

The Walmart and Target near me were cleaned out of anything interesting. Do you have photographs of the 13 Black Pearls for $50 each?

No. I live out in the sticks and all we have are walmarts. The selection of legos that the stores have are usually pretty good mainly because of low population... i think anyways.

I guess living in the sticks paid off for me as well (town I live in has population of 5,000). Went to two different Wal-Mart stores (45 miles apart) and the list below is what my 9 year-old son and I came back with. Needless to say, it was a great Lego Haul! By the way, this is one of my favorite threads - it's great to hear what direction everyone's going in, what's out there and what kinds of deals can be had and it also just charges my batteries a little bit. Anyway, here you are: 2 of City 3368 (Space Center): $34.50 (MSRP $69.99) 1 of City 4435 (Car and Camper): $9.50 (MSRP $19.97) 1 of City 4431 (Ambulance): $9.50 (MSRP $19.97) 2 of City 4202 (Mining Truck): $17.00 (MSRP $34.97) 1 of Star Wars 7962 (Anakin Skywalker and Sebulba's Podracer): $34.50 (MSRP $89.99) 1 of Star Wars 7964 (Republic Frigate): $49.50 (MSRP $99.99) 1 of Star Wars 7961 (Darth Maul Sith Infiltrator): $27.50 (MSRP $69.99) 6 of Star Wars 7914 (Mandalorian Battle Pack): $6.00 (MSRP $11.99) 2 of Star Wars 7913 (Clone Trooper Battle Pack): $6.00 (MSRP $11.99) 2 of Star Wars 7956 (Ewok Attack): $12.00 (MSRP $24.99) 3 of Star Wars 7957 (Sith Nightspeeder): $12.00 (MSRP $24.99) 2 of Star Wars 7931 (Jedi T6 Shuttle): $20 (MSRP $59.99) 1 of Ninjago 9455 (Fangpyre Mech): $12.00 (MSRP $24.99) 1 of Ninjago 2518 (Knuckal
