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...

I bought mine from Shop at Home for 40% off and I would buy all of those at 50% off, no questions asked.  I have a higher tolerance for Super Heroes than some.

I think these minifigs might have some value and the ship is actually cool.  If it disappears, it wasn't around for too long.

Yeah the Javelin was an interesting build

just cannt do...50%off 76028x5

Vegas...

I "liked" your post because I DID buy 3x 70226 on Monday for 50% .... but I have been on the fence on those ... will part one out and see if I get any bites on the minifigs ... if yes, the others get parted out too, if no, ethics be damned, the other two go back to Target and the opened one goes to my son who loves Chima.

I found a Chima Laval's Fire Lion for 10 dollars on clearance at Wal Mart. Set has a 49.99 MSRP and one minifig alone sells for 20. Hate the design though. I have no idea who Chima is supposed to appeal to.

I've sold many (10+) Mungus Maxifig for $20 or more. Every round of clearance price will dop. Sell the rest in your bulk bin or start an auction for $0.99 with appropriate shipping. The entire set fits in a $6 padded flat rate shipping. Have to get creative but you can make 2x or 3x money or more

I went to a B&N looking for that 50% off city 60004 set, and did not buy it because it was full price.

Also they had a beat up Mos Cantina for $75 and a AT-AP for $60, both full price, that I did not buy.

76039 (ant-man, the final battle), it's the only one I've seen on a store shelf in a very long time, and it was over priced as fudge... I asked the vendor why and she said 'it's no longer in production and it's our last one, of course it's expensive' (translated from French)...

A bunch of Friends Jungle Base (I cant remember the actual set#) sets for $30 (50% off)

I had just gotten another Tumbler at the Lego Store today and thought I swing by Kmart.  They had Brick Bounty for $99.99 full price. I had picked up three tumblers in three days so felt the Tumblers were better investments for my money right now.  I left the BB on the shelf.

Was excited when I saw these in the distance sitting in the aisle in front of Wal-Mart Customer Service (you know that feeling). Then noticed there were no straps. Discretely slid the lid off of one to inspect. People will return anything.

Not only do I doubt it is 1600 pieces, but it's probably also discarded leftovers with hair, gum, and Cheerios dust.

Gross.

In the CS reps defense, they probably couldn't count to 1600...

Finding epic discounts do come with their occasional hiccups.

Its always worth a check as I have gotten a few in the past month without a strap and all the bag are intact.

3 Darkseid Invasion at $59. Needs a lower buy in.
