Blackjack Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Many years ago, I picked up two used but complete Rahkshi at a Salvation Army for $2 apiece. I always regret not getting more, becaue they had all of the Rahkshi, Bohrok, Nuva, and some other stuff. I went back a while later to buy some more, but they THREW IT ALL AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was eather some load of crap broken piece or lead poisoning scare, and I couldn't reason with them. My ten year old self had to stand buy as they dumped dozens of Bionicle, as well as all their other toys, into a big bin to be dumped. JERKS!!!!!!! :down: > >:-( :ohh: :grrr: :ahhh: :vampire: Quote
TheDarkness Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Second hand Market Street last year for $80. Complete with box and all pieces including extras 1 Quote
bleejean Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 While the UCS Millenium Falcon was still available at retail ($625cdn + tax), I won an ebay auction for a first edition, MISB for about $480cdn. I bet that guy is kicking himself now! 2 Quote
LowestFormOfWit Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 A tie between 4195 - Queen Anne's Revenge for $39.99 and 9474 - The Battle of Helm's Deep for $25.00, at least until Helm's Deep appreciates some. Both factory sealed and in pristine, glossy boxes, at the same Walmart. I assume we're counting LEGO we paid for. If not, then the best thing I got for free were two 30164 - Lex Luthor promo polybags, and that was a few hours ago. Quote
Guest eightbrick Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 5 Uruk Hai Armies for 5 dollars a piece. SHUT THE FRONT DOOR! Where was that? My best deal is probably 50% off the US retail on the dino helicopter. I know. Its sad. This thread makes me feel like a terrible deal searcher. Shame on all of you LOL! Quote
LEGO Oleg Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Great time in Target stores around 2009-2010, LEGO City House 8403 around $5.00......and many times $25.00 or so for some $99.99 MSRP price sets (Castle, Atlantis, Pharaoh's Quest). Now less and less deals like this, as I mentioned in other topics.:ohh: Quote

This thread makes me feel like a terrible deal searcher. Shame on all of you LOL! Sometimes its just pure luck, that's all.... I always asked myself, WOW, Is it real....???....why nobody buy it for such price....!!!!...and U never know that is waiting for u somewhere.....but it is waiting! Ones I went to Target to check LEGO isle and lady cleaning out shelf with Hero Factory set Xplode 7147 (was 30-40 of them or even more in two shopping carts) with clearance price of $2.98 (75% or something). I asked her can I buy all of them? Sure!!!No problem....I chickened out and bought just 5 or 7....rest of them went to donation bin. Its what she said..... Is that possible? YES! I was a witness.

LEGO Oleg Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 ...I forgot about my best deal. Long time ago Get Monster 4 Game at shop.lego.com for 1.98 and flip it to AU dealer at MSRP......all 300 0f them!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NV6Rdv1a3I 1 Quote
terrymc4677 Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 20 weathertops for $18.50/each and 28 two face chases for $22.41/each. both after tax. shopko insane clearance. will keep for at least 2 years after eol, and then watch the dough start rolling in. Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Some CMF S8 packs for $1. 66% off baby..!!!... 8-/ :blank: :down: Quote
Diabolos80 Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 I don't look for deals or clearance. I buy everything at full MSRP or higher. That way it's worth more. Once or twice i might have reluctantly pursued a Craigslist bargain or a B&****** coupon, but I didn't enjoy it. Soooo you guys can just keep your 40 dollar QARs and your 25 dollar Weathertops..... We don't want em in this town.... :( Quote

stephen_rockefeller Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Everyone was a little on edge that night............cooler heads prevailed! Quote
Alcarin Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Best deal percentage wise I got was Minifigures season 7 and 5 for 1 Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Everyone was a little on edge that night............cooler heads prevailed! Nothing brought forward ones true character like a 50% off sale on LEGO :lol: Quote
TheDarkness Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Everyone was a little on edge that night............cooler heads prevailed! Or the waving of the big bad Mod stick! Last year Amazon.de had a screwup where they were selling the Friends 3185 and 3315 sets for 10 euros each, instead of taking 10 euros off the prices. I only got 3 of each, I didn't have multiple accounts at the time and in the process of trying to set up another they sold out. Quote
blueremains Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Just the other night. 3 Maersk Trains for 104.49 each, months after EOL, from Target.com no less. Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Just the other night. 3 Maersk Trains for 104.49 each, months after EOL, from Target.com no less.Still cant believe this!!! Hope the boxes are in decent shape for ya! Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Still cant believe this!!! Hope the boxes are in decent shape for ya! Even if the boxes are in bad shape, just sell the sealed bags without box. The price for the used sets is ridiculously close to the new ones. Price for deboxed sets should fall somewhere between new and used. You should net some profit regardless of box conditions Quote
jaisonline Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Just the other night. 3 Maersk Trains for 104.49 each, months after EOL, from Target.com no less. 3 Black Pearls the other night for $99 each thanks to you. Other items... One Black Pesrl for $75 from Target's last Black Friday sale A SDD with a slight scotch tape tear (bottom side) on an otherwise mint box for $190 (Amazon customer support helped with this). 7597 Toy Story Western Train for $29.99 at BJs just after it went EOL. I think the $99 B-Wings 10227s will do great after retirement. Quote
Grolim Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Good question. Store options are a little limited for me down here at the bottom of the planet. But I might have to pick the 7 x 9465 Zombies sets I got a couple of weeks ago at 25% off retail. Quote
exciter1 Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Probably all of the sets I purchased at 50% off or more at Wal-Mart during clearance this past Christmas. I found many similar deals a few weeks later at KMart's 50% off clearance toy sales. I should have grabbed more, but buyer's guilt always sets in. Quote
abri123 Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Mother in Law just got a 7642 Garage with box and instructions 98% complete for FREE!!! that someone was giving away. Couldn't believe it. Quote
jdhunter04 Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Mine was Hogwarts Castle (5378) used but complete with box and instructions for 3 hours of babysitting! Best deal I ever made! Quote
