I found it on Gumtree. I happened to look at the right time last night so managed to beat others to it. Went to get it straight away this morning.

I sell a lot on Gumtree. It can be dodgy so take somebody with you if there's a lot at stake. I no longer trade at home or even close to it.

Finally succumbed to buying the 42056 Porsche because the price was finally right... £129.60 from Argos eBay after voucher and CB.

Collected it today in a mint shipping carton. Argos finally got something right.

My local Smith's unearths more tanker trucks and starter sets from 2010 so scooped an armful for about £10 each. eBay £1 fvf this weekend too. Also took a few prison transports at £7.50 but they'll go back if they don't sell quickly.

Prison transports are gold here. 

Oh no lol. Sorry, was thinking of money transporter

Prison seems to do better than money but I wouldn't describe either as gold here. Let's see if I get any takers. A few more left on the shelf if they get snapped up.

Picked up a trio of Coast Guard Headquarters for £21.25 each from Tesco on Tuesday. Price went up to £60 that night

Tesco has some great deals. I've even seen Kessel Falcons for £60, but I'm done with Star Wars. Dobbies is the best with regular 75% off CITY sets. I only buy if I can offload immediately.

The new round of special purchases aka ex-direct stock seems decent, Capitol buildings and Rathtar escapes at £21.25 (though these seem like pricing errors, I expect they will correct them to £50ish).

Rinse, repeat and drive around them all ?

Sadly not, most of them got them in on the Saturday and had sold them over the weekend, my store is terrible at working non food delivery on time so still had them in the back

Alas the £21 Capitols and Rathtars got put up to £50 as well before they restocked, so you've got those two, Resistance Bomber, Krennic Shuttle, U-Wing, Friends Hospital, Goblin King Castle all at £50, should be a field day when they drop to £25 in 4 weeks time.

Annoying that my local Tesco never has this stuff. They did, and probably still do, have 100s of the Uni Kitty box.

A failed theme and may even get cheaper, great if you just want the pieces. I feel a -75% coming on ?

I often bundle crap with good sets to get rid of them. I used to hike up the prices of my WALL-E and throw in an Exo Suit so I could at least break even on it. It seems like Tesco are now doing it too.

Rumors have it that 75% off all the "50% toy sale" stuff goes on the 5th, though my locals ran out of all the LEGO lines in the first week and never restocked.

70654 Dieselnaut for my birthday next Saturday, imho great design and I am looking forward to build it

Jeff Friesen's Micro Cities book. In my eyes he's the best designer out there. Time to put a Brick Link order in for hundreds of 1x2 clear and trans  plates.

8039 Venator Cruiser for £100 BNIB.

Picked this up today for $40 . Box is open but all bags are sealed with all the loose stuff.

Picked up a large lot on Craigslist for $150. Unfortunately, no instructions. Sets were put together still for the most part. I've been able to identify the following sets. No idea if they are complete yet, but I was able to go through the large bucket of figures and find that at least they are all included for each set that I've identified thus far. Here's what we've located to this point:

3181-1 Passenger Plane
4202-1 Mining Truck
4203-1 Excavator Transporter
4209-1 Fire Plane
4432-1 Garbage Truck
4439-1 Heavy-Lift Helicopter
4738-1 Hagrid's Hut
4842-1 Hogwarts Castle
5868-1 Ferocious Creatures
7037-1 Tower Raid
7048-1 Troll Warship
7094-1 King's Castle Siege
7097-1 Trolls' Mountain Fortress
7498-1 Police Station
7947-1 Prison Tower Rescue
9465-1 The Zombies
9469-1 Gandalf Arrives
9474-1 The Battle of Helm's Deep
9476-1 The Orc Forge
10188-1 Death Star (Boxes 2, 3, and 4 are all still sealed)
10193-1 Medieval Market Village
21105-1 The Village
21106-1 The Nether
31005-1 Construction Hauler
60001-1 Fire Chief Car
79000-1 Riddles for the Ring
79001-1 Escape from Mirkwood Spiders
79002-1 Attack of the Wargs
79003-1 An Unexpected Gathering
79010-1 The Goblin King Battle

Not a bad haul for $150

$2 per brick isn't great, but I couldn't resist at 90% off 

Some

21034 for ~15€

21019 for ~ 14€

75877 ~ 7€

and the best: 42063 for ~17€, but only 16 pcs.

Picked up Hogwarts Castle with double VIP and mini Diagon Alley from LEGO Shop at Home.

Got an R2D2 UCS set 10225 for £100 posted (Box in great condition, not excellent, all pieces counted for and Instructions!) on local FB marketplace. 

Got 2 orders canceled from Lego LEGO Shop at Home. 1st time they have ever done that. Said I was over my limits on a brickheadz.  Even though previous to those oders I have bought over 30 of them but now they are watching since they are giving away a good promo.

One of mine was canned too. Same reason given  and when I enquired about it was politely told too bad , so sad. ?
