Tommahas8012 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 So i was walking around Meijer yesterday and on the shelf were these two retired sets on the shelf. they did not have a tag or anything, they were just sitting there. I know these were not there the week prior so they must have been hidden in the stockroom or something. Any anyone experienced this before? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justapilgrim Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I just bought a couple of sponge bob sets the other day, not quite as old, but same concept Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 This happened to me while I was shopping for groceries at a local supermarket. Found a couple SW sets from 2009. It happens once in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exciter1 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 There's one of these in the clearance section of one of my local Wal-Marts, busted open, beat to hell, still scans at $99.99. I also found another Space Police set at a local Wal-Mart about 6 deep on the shelf and in good shape. I think it was $13 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ediebrickette Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 There was a Kingdoms King's Castle set at the Roosevelt Field Mall Lego store (LI, NY) yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarleyMoose Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 A small chain toy store has a display full of the small Space Police sets still. They also have Atlantis and lots of small 4 numbered Technic sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I found Plo-Koon's Starfighter last year and Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator the year before at Walmart and a couple years ago I came across Ewok Attack at Target. Finding an old set sitting there on the shelf for no reason doesn't happen often but a nice surprise when it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bricketycricket Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 It's my dream for this to happen with a desirable set, but I think my location is too urban for this to ever really happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the dude that cleaned up like 5 Harry Potter Castles and 8 The Burrow at Wal-Mart last Spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarleyMoose Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 That would be epic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimking23 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 This past Febuary, I found a lone 10212 Imperial Shuttle sitting on a shelf in TRU. When I asked an employee about it, he said they had just found it in the back room. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macdroid Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 here prices are 2x-3x US retail, but I recently found the outlet store where they send all the LEGO they don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernard74 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Yes, 10188 Death Star. Apart from that there's a store in my area specialized in Lego that has some older sets (but not so popular ones like Prince of Persia). In normal stores not really.
