What Lego set did you buy today?


Recommended Posts

15x 76002 @ $1 each! Walmart app really proved itself today. I randomly checked my usual sets last night (which this set is NOT one of) and when I chose it by mistake and it showed one store had them in stock at $1, I couldn't believe it. All the other 10 stores were at full $12.97 retail price. I assumed they'd be gone, or only 1 or 2 left, but hope, 15! Finally hit pay dirt at Walmart!

Thanks, I can finally join the 70% off club! Woot woot!

So, if the 15 $1 Superman sets weren't good enough, I went to another Walmart I've never gone to afterwards to follow up on the app saying Wargs for $20 and Mirkwoods for $15, but "limited stock" so I didn't feel good about my chances. Let's just say I was wrong.

First off, got to the LEGO aisle, pretty messy. 0 LOTR or Hobbit sets. Literally 0. Checked a few random things, not necessarily clearance. Ready to give up, but determination persevered a day I found dead a clearance area on the other side of the store! 10 Wargs, 11 Mirkwoods! Also, get ready, 4x Dolphin Cruiser for $20!

Then, as if that wasn't enough, after digging behind other random junk I found a Battle Smallville for $11! Remembered seeing a few in the regular aisle, I was right and I grabbed 3 more. Oh, and the new Friends Stage, normally $20, sticker said $13, rang up for $7! Got all 6. Also, 1 Creator Plane and 1 Sponge Undersea Party for half off.

I obviously got everything, but I left 5 each Wargs and Mirkwoods.

Oh happy day! Will post a full breakdown later once my hands stop shaking!

I'm definitely jealous, as I believe this is around my area. Oh well, ya snooze, ya loose. I see that the Metropolis Showdown is now showing out of stock in the location it was reporting earlier. I guess the Walmart app stays pretty up-to-date, which is cool to see.

 

Please tell me you didn't find the others in the Fremont/Union City/San Leandro area ... :( If so, anything left there worth grabbing?

 

As for myself, I stopped by Toys R Us today during lunch, hoping against hope that they might have a Crawler, but no such luck. They did have The Lone Ranger Cavalry builder for $10, so I grabbed one. They had the Super Racer for $10, so I grabbed one of those too. Also grabbed two of the lawnmower polybags they had. I figure I can build these few sets with my son and daughter this weekend for some quick, fun builds. Grabbed a couple Series 10 minifigs, too, and ended up with a Medusa.

Helm's Deep $80.00 Target!  Only had one, but they also had a Black Gate for 30.00 off.  Wish I had gone on Thursday.  

 

Note: The Helms Deep was not clearance; it was yellow tagged on the aisle and said $40.00 off.  I was happy, but this is the one I want 2 to build and 2 to save.  I had 1 already.  Now I just need to find 2 more.
