I think they have more value then any other megablocks, because it's kinda realistic military stuff, which would be a BIG seller if lego did some. but they wont.. I think IMO, that it is an awsome collection... i

 

I agree, I always look at them when shopping for lego at walmart... very intriguing.

Thanks for the info

LOL ... i know the feeling.  A cart full of legos, with people looking at you. You gotta wonder what they are thinking...

1. This guy must be a creep! 

2. What a great daddy he must be.

3. Is this guy the real Santa?

4. Reseller scum!

I'm gonna stop right there ... :)

The hovercraft almost made it into my collection but unfortunately it arrived from tru.ca in its original packaging and was banged up very bad.  I had to return it.

When Target Canada still existed, we once had two carts overflowing in sets at 50% off. A little girl was holding tightly in her arms a little Lego set, and after looking for a long time at the mountains of sets we carried, she asked her mum "That one is mine, right mommy?".

Darn, I felt terrible,I try to buy online whenever possible these days. :)

This is why you check the Walmart clearance area a few aisles down from the Lego aisle. I wish I could say I got all of these on sale (just the B-wings and walker at $50 each), but given that these sets are all EOL and most have already appreciated nicely I had no problem pulling the trigger on them. Sets like the Phantom, the Droid tank and the T-16 all went EOL earlier than expected so I don't foresee a problem moving these quickly and very profitably. Funnily enough, I only stopped in at this Walmart because it was on the way from the Staples I went to to buy a box to ship a Star Destroyer, and a TRU that I was heading to to get the discounted Fortress Smash sets plus some batmobile polybags. And even when I went in, I almost missed these as they were in a different spot than the usual clearance area. Looks like somebody found a misplaced box or three in the warehouse. Picture doesn't show it but there are 2 bwings and 4 laketowns, just 1 wolfman.

It's like finding lost treasure when you find a clearance section in the middle of nowhere!

Another good place to always check is the locked glass cases in the outdoor/hunting section. I've found exclusives and such locked away in them before (like a post EOL Sea Cow).

I have note seen that myself, but it reminds me of a recent visit to Dufferin Mall where the TRU has all the IDEAS lego sets behind a locked glass case in the video games desk adjacent to the lego aisle. I have never seen anything like that with Lego before. Makes you wonder what scoundrels are up to at that location.

I saw a couple of these sets at TRU Lawrence East and Victoria Park a few days ago, my guess is you picked them up there?

Nice find.  Anymore monster fighter werewolfs? I'm looking for personal collection. 

That was the only one I found. I just took it because it was there. If you want it I'd be happy to unload it at cost. Definitely the least necessary purchase I made. :)

Hope all the parts and figures are in there, you never know with these lone discontinued sets on the shelves.

I will weight it and see if it's ok. But is in a good condition and seal too. But maybe those scammer have a technic to unseal seals without a trace. Saw a video on youtube that a dude openned the smaller boxes without seals(the one you push a half circle). withi a heat gun and re seals it. No trace at all.But with the seals...  Hope there is no way
