TargetZero Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) 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 Edited March 18, 2016 by TargetZero 1 Quote

TargetZero Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Just want to add.. lego haul like this makes me happy, i like hunting and FINDING lego deals. I am like a kid when it happens... one rules I have: always cash or mostly Quote
TargetZero Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 oh yes 2xbatboat with deathstroke for 15$ each at an other walmart, but that was about it. Quote
justapilgrim Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 I am past the shame part. Full cart, no problem, stares, no problem. I'll clear a shelf like a boss, and proceed to check out with little Timmy's mouth open in awe 2 Quote
jeff_14 Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) 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. Edited March 24, 2016 by jeff_14 5 Quote

Expand 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). Quote

Expand 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. Quote

jeff_14 Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Close. I got the avengers sets there, but the rest were from the Walmart close by at Eglinton and Warden Quote

Expand 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 Quote
