Wizkid23 Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Picked up another Batman set with the new Mr. Freeze and Aquaman figs...... Quote
justgod Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Bought 2 of Architecture Brandenburg Gate from Target (to get the Red Card discount) at 34% off RRP. I figure even if they don't go up, I can always part them out. Sand green and tan parts more than cover cost of the set. Quote

nolanfan34 Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 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...

mahler24 Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Decided i want all the ninjago dragons so i bought the earth dragon today for 52 euros.......overpriced? Quote
Orodes Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Technic Jet Plane and Excavator for my personal collection. Can't understand why it doesn't have the name of the set or the piece count on the box in the UK lol. Quote
Huskers1236 Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 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. Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Can someone let me in on the bag end joke? Its way over my head..... Quote
shawn_low Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 2x Medieval Marketplace 10193 Like the set. :-) Quote
Huskers1236 Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Can someone let me in on the bag end joke? Its way over my head..... Bag End is the name of the house in the movie Lord of the Rings, and I'm sure The Hobbit, though I have not seen it. It's just easier than saying I bought An Unexpected Journey. EDIT: Sun Devils suck Stephen, GO UofA!!! Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 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 Quote

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. Quote
Ed Mack Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 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. Quote
legomylego Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 2x Medieval Marketplace 10193 Like the set. :-)What at did you pay for them? Quote
Brickerbrack Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Bit on the Monster Fighters Werewolf, but only or myself. Quote
cobi Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 I bought a couple of the werewolf too (Amazon). Was at our Walmart today, no Dino sets there, werewolf was $19.99. Bought a couple of Friend convertible's for $10.00 (Amazon), also the fire Brigade for $119.00 (Amazon) Quote
terrymc4677 Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 I snagged a 60003, Fire Emergency set today at TRU for $11.63. It was on sale for $29.99, and I had 3 $5 coupons and a $4 store credit to bring it down to $12. Not too shabby! Quote

Legodog Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 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. Quote
Ed Mack Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Would you please tell me how to do the NO TAX buying the Fire Brigade????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. Quote
