With all of the threads for what you bought, built, or sold, I think it might be interesting to hear what some people passed up on while out shopping? Might help get an idea of what one doesn't like.

 

Note: Don't get crazy with this, obviously one could list every set at there local store, but that would defeat the purpose of this.  I'm hoping this might help with impulse buying, which I'm sure many of us have done from time to time...

Someone mentioned Books-A-Million stopped selling LEGO. Happened in a BAM today. Saw a LEGO display from afar. This is what was there.

Well, that's a train wreck.

Oh my lady gaga

A little overpriced at my local Target...Could be a potential winner though despite it being a helicopter since it is a Target exclusive.

Child: I want some Lego sets!

Mom: We have Lego at Home

Lego at Home:

The helicopter was over priced in my area initially, then it was lowered back to retail. It has been available at retail on the app for me for a week or so now. 
 

restocked at LEGO Shop at Home now also.

Went to Walmart and they have the new Batman sets priced 20% off on the shelf as was previously posted by another member. They scanned full price with scan and go and at the register so I left them. Didn’t feel like it was worth dealing with a Walmart human. 

Lego 60227 Lunar Space Station at full price.

Yay LEGO!

AT ST. 

In a year full of bad decisions this one thank GOD was my best decision.

I stopped in this store again this past weekend. This end cap looks exactly the same. Not a single one has sold since I initially took this picture. I scanned one just to check. They’re actually ringing up at $40 even though the end cap says $50. I’ll keep an eye on them. If they eventually make it down to $15-$20 I’d be stupid not to buy them, but until then they’ll continue to collect dust.

[emoji23] nah, I’m good. Seriously though, who wouldn’t buy these if they were $15-$20 (60-70% off)? Anything above that is risky business at this point.

I'd go all in at $10-$15, not a cent higher, assuming Amazon do not price theirs below $39.99

Standing by because I care [emoji23]

I was thinking the same thing. Step away from the Lego.

Yay LEGO!

Saw vidiyo sets at 75% off and passed, I did get a few of the dragon minifigs for my own collection.

Dumped all mine, barely broke even  but I couldn't stand looking at them anymore.

When this reaches the $70 range, I expect West End Toys to list 20,000 of them for $44.99.

I think this one's a sleeper guys. Hidden gem. Universally loathed therefore underrated. Illusion of Plentitude is in full effect. Buybuybuy!
