July 6, 201312 yr My local Barnes and Noble has Sphinx sets and I stopped at an out of the way walmart yesterday and found 2 Space Police Galactic Enforcers on the shelf! Marked at $90.
July 6, 201312 yr I saw a couple space police sets, some 2010 star wars sets, and prince of Persia sets in a Mom and Pop toy store for full price.
July 6, 201312 yr Perfect thread for me... I found a Jay's Storm Fighter 9442 today at target for 2.70...perfect condition.
July 6, 201312 yr I found a whole pile of 7207 Fire Boats earlier this year. I've assisted them in finding better homes.
July 6, 201312 yr A couple years ago I came across this set in the wild: http://brickset.com/detail/?Set=3560-1 (NBA Collector's #1). It's from 2003 so it had to have sat in that store for at least 7 years before I picked it up. Unfortunately, it's only worth about 10 bucks. That's the oldest I've found so far, but like JoshTX, I've seen a couple space police, prince of persia, toy story sets and such around.
July 6, 201312 yr Those crappy alien sets are at my B and ******. Yeah, my B&****** still has some Alien Invasion sets and a couple Pharoah's Quest lying around, still full retail
July 6, 201312 yr Found a few Zombies sets and a few Dino ones in a small local toy store last month.
July 6, 201312 yr The owner operated toy store near my daughter's school has a 4404 Land Busters set on shelf, as well as a couple of Jack Stone sets from 2001. Their Lego window is decorated with a poster from the mid-80s showing some of the sets (like the 6374 Holiday Home) that I had when I was a kid. Actually I still have them and recently passed them on to said daughter.
July 7, 201312 yr Found a 7961 Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator for $30 at Walmart (horrible box condition) and a 7956 Ewok Attack at Target for $6 (tax free because the system couldn't find it), both from this year. I can't remember anything from the past years so don't know about anything found prior.

July 13, 201312 yr http://www.brickpicker.com/bpms/set.cfm?set=9455-1 Found this for 17 at walmart clearance today. Box was beat. Opened and retaped with packing tape. It is complete though.
July 13, 201312 yr Nevermind the nijago---I also bought a vultraz robot for $7 at the same store in clearance--in a beat up box. I didn't realize it was sitting there for 5 years. Set number 8698 is the set number. Not worth anything---probably build it.
July 13, 201312 yr I saw one of the 2006 Knights Kingdom's hero type sets in a meijer for 50%/$10 off last week. I passed on it, since it has a very minimal demand. Always weird to find a set from a while ago, I have this dream that I will go to a store and find a really classic set. Like going to a Lego store and having the manager say, we have a 10179 in the back we just dug up...
July 14, 201312 yr Found some Harry Potter polybags today in target - "the Lab".Same here. About a handful of them hanging around the other Lego for a couple of weeks now. My Five Below put these and some other polybags back out again in a diffent spot from before. (Way to confuse your customers, Five Below.)
