What Lego set did you buy today?


Recommended Posts

Haven't posted here for a while. Been rather busy and all. Haven't found any in store deals but did some pricematching at Target with Amazon again and saved $17.13 between two older sets. Not bad, I suppose.

City - Mobile Police Unit (7288) Bought for $34.88, retails $44.99.

Star Wars - Desert Skiff (9496) Bought for $17.97, retails $24.99.

Legends of Chima - Winzar's Pack Patrol (30251) Target exclusive polybag, retails $3.99

Man, I LOVE PRICEMATCHING WITH TARGET!!!!

Hey Wal-Mart, I got two words for ya.

SUCK IT!!

Found my first deal today I was really excited about, as I'm new to the clearance shopping game. :-) Was inspired by the threads on here, so hit up a WalMart yesterday that I normally wouldn't shop at. Sure enough, in the clearance section they had a pallet of stuff that included like 7 sets - Falcon, Vampyre Castle, Jabba's Palace, Malevolence, etc. A worker said he didn't know the prices - they were still setting up the area - but they wouldn't be "huge deals". Went back today, and found them all - $80. I ended up snagging: - 1 Millenium Falcon - 1 Vampyre Castle - 1 Malevolence - 1 Jabba's Palace Passed on a Jabba's with a retaped side, a Malevolence with a pretty damaged box, and a Sith Interceptor which of course isn't great at that price. The boxes I got aren't mint, but are pretty good overall so I'm happy at that price! I don't have a big buying budget, but was happy to snag these. Did not plan on buying a 2nd Falcon, or the Malevolence. But my wife's cousin had the Malevolence built which I saw last weekend, and was pretty cool - a big ship, kind of a mini UCS. And of course now I won't feel guilty when I cave and open one of the Falcon's I have eventually. :-) They had 3 Quinjet's marked down to $60 - I'll be checking back, as I'm sure they won't sell and will probably be in the $40 section soon...

Picked up from Amazon: Jabba's Palace $99 Desert Skiff $17 Bag End $62 Signed up for the rewards card for $50 discount and everything came to $130 w/ free shipping, no tax. Love me some Amazon. These will all be put away since I have opened my existing Palace and Bag End, and now won't feel bad about opening the Skiff that I have.

Ah OK that makes sense....Im not into those movies so good to know. UofA isn't half the party school that we are/always will be! I have some friends that went there. I thought about going there before I decided on ASU but Tucson is too dirty for me lol

I won't make this thread go too off course, but I had to throw that jab in there:) I didn't go to UofA, but was born in Arizona, and since my dad liked ASU, I cheered for UofA as a kid, and just stuck with them, especially in basketball. Everything else you said is very true about the 2 however.

I just bought another 10197 Fire Brigade. Buying these Modulars for $119 with FREE SHIPPING and NO TAX from Amazon just never gets old. Great value in this set. I packaged the Fire Brigade together with an Epic Dragon Battle and the Fire Brigade dwarfs the Ninjago set. I thought I was done buying this set, but I can still see myself buying a couple of more.

Would you please tell me how to do the NO TAX buying the Fire Brigade????

You have to live in a state where Amazon does not charge taxes. If you do then no taxes are applied when you check out. If you really don't want to pay taxes then signup for a red card from Target. You get 5% off any purchase online or in store. That usually covers "most" of the taxes in most states.

Interstate Commerce Law...Basically, if you buy from a retailer that does not have a brick and mortar store in your state, tax does not apply. Amazon does not have a warehouse in NJ, so I don't pay tax. That will change in July when the new Amazon warehouse in central NJ is complete.
