Just like the title asks, what LEGO set did you buy today?

I bought the 4184 POTC Black Pearl.

I had fun scouring Walmarts and Kmarts this weekend with my wife.  Some of the highlights (before tax) from my trip:

 

Hulk's Hellcarriers (x6) @ $35  - I already mentioned this one above

Doc Ock Ambush (x2) @ $21

Unexpected Gathering @ $44.10

Attack on Weathertop (x2) @ $40

Bug Obliterator (x2) @ $25 - my first Galaxy Squad sets.  I've passed up a ton of Hive Crawlers and the smaller ones at deep discount,

but these seemed too good to miss

Cragger's Command @ $40

LEGO movie Ice Cream Machine (x2) @ $15 - I don't know why these were on clearance

 

And some other smaller stuff that I can build my feedback and pocket a few bucks....I left a ton of Dragon Mountains, Hive Crawlers, and a few others here and there.  Found about 10 Batcaves, some Hearses, and others that I would have grabbed, but they rang up at full MSRP so I left them. 

 

Also scored (x2) chess sets @ $50 and a R2D2 (first one for me!) @ $142 using coupons.

 

I've almost hit my annual budget and I haven't even got to Double VIP points yet...   but for me, the "hunt" is part of the fun! 

Bought another R2D2 from B&****** with coupon purchases and membership.

This one is going to be my personal show piece once I put together my display case.

6868 hulk hell carrier $35 (x6)

Walmart?

Small town walmart = jackpot

2 unexpected gatherings at $41.99 each

4 barrel escapes @ $25 each

I guess I should thank my friends who were too busy with meetings to go to lunch with me today.  I was able to make a couple stops at lunch.

 

Let me preface this, I still do not understand Wal-Mart's clearance policy.  Is it a science, anomaly, or phenomenon? I had to go by Toys R Us to return my son's extra TMNT: Turtle Submarine and I stopped at Wal-Mart just to check out the clearance again, since I found a lonely Uruk Hai Army yesterday for $21.  Today they had set out a new clearance shelving unit in the main aisle between housewares and toys.

 

I walked through the LEGO aisle and I saw one of the employees standing over a cart full of LEGO and I noticed Red Skull on the end of one of the boxes.  I assumed they were just filling the reset LEGO aisle with more product.  I walked back to the clearance endcaps and then heard her wheel off the cart.  I then walked by the LEGO aisle again before I left the store and she wasn't there.  Hmmm, I saw her standing out by the new clearance shelves with the cart full of new LEGO.  I asked her if she was going to clearance this stuff?  She said yes and then offered to scan them for me.  She said these will be $10 and these will be $15.  "Would you like me to change them now?"  "Sure", and I left with the following:

 

6 x Doc Ock Truck Heist (76015) - $10 each

5 x Captain America vs. Hydra (76017) - $10 each

2 x Airport Fire Truck (60061) - $15 each

 

This was a total fluke and I'm sure somebody just moved some boxes in with their clearance stuff in the back.  I am going back after work to see what else they set out.  I'm just on the fence now about flipping them or keeping them, suggestions?  I left at least 4 of 60061 behind.

These might be the best deal we see unless they reach the normal clearance time in a year or 2.

jackpot! does the walmart app reflect those prices?

I have no idea.  I'll check it when I get home tonight.  I only have a work Blackberry, so I'll have to check it with my wife's IPhone.

Considering how new in life those are, i'd consider parting them out, or just selling outright immediately.

 

Some folks have yet to even find those sets, so you might get some quick sales. Take the quick flip and re-invest.

Thanks, I was leaning in that direction.

If your ever going to get these sets for yourself I'd keep one of these and save yourself the money down the road too.

I did get a pair of these during the TRU BOGO a few weeks back, so I should be good to let these go.  Now I just need to figure out the best combo.  It looks like the Doc Ock minifig is the most sought after of the bunch right now.

That's awesome. Wal mart continues to boggle our minds with situations like this. Sets that are barely a month old for $10 on clearance, and yet I've seen several walmarts still sitting on piles of attack of the wargs at full retail. Since they are so new, I would quick flip them. It will be quite a long time for these to appreciate to the level long term holds need to get to to make them a "success". Since you got them so cheap you can make some decent coin selling now at or a little below retail. Let us know how you do!

I think you should head to the trade thread, let's make a deal. :-)

Chima 70010 $32 and some change out the door thx to SYWR and got another $20 in SYWR

I think you should head to the trade thread, let's make a deal. :-)

 

I was definitely thinking about that too.  Head on over there.  I posted something I might be interested in.

Cleared out the rest of the smaller sets from my local Kmart...

60021 x 2 @ $23

79006 x 2 @ $18

70008 x 2 @ $31

 

Wish they would have had more stuff on sale.

I bought today: 6867 for 23 5771 for 59.95 and 2 x 3221 for 24.99 each Is this a good deal and/or investment? What do you guys think?

I bought a bunch of stuff at Tesco (most half-price):

 

Hive Crawler (

Just bought a 7166 Imperial Shuttle for $60 off CL......the box is a little beat-up but the seals are still intact......

Woot Woot - Ebay auctions rule.

 

Just grabbed a Sail Barge 6210 used for 70$. Tip for people - when a set is remade look for a used copy of the old one on auction. They don't get a lot of watching. This one ended around 4:00 in the afternoon too.

 

Can't wait to build it.
