What Lego set did you buy today?

[newbie77]

You're probably right. But I'm not going to risk it again after the exo suit/research institute fiasco. Better to be safe than sorry. Plus I'll still get the retro spaceman for this month. Now I just need to figure out what I'm going to get for October...

its not fair to compare EXO with RI and both of them with WMV.

 

with regard to EXO,

if there is another wave of the release @ any of the retailers i can state for certain that there won't be any resellers buying them. all the resellers including myself are saturated with EXO. a straw will break the camel's back. (no pun intended). you can literally see this by the listing @ amazon.

 

anybody selling for less than $53(on amazon) are basically selling for (just the 5% points and/or cashback and/or gift card discount). yes that's factoring in no tax. unless they found a way to reduce cost on shipping.  this set is about 13.5oz. there is way this set can be shipped for less than ~$10 east to west. that/this means that people are trying to unload it in decent quantity.... @ amazon there are over 93 separate listing for this .. . compared to 29 for RI

 

with regard to WMV,

i personally don't think resellers will be running after 10235 WMV. why because its been around for more than a year. i remember buying few last year november/december.  i am pretty sure there is massive stockpile from last year hanging around. plus @ around ~99->130 this set is ranked(#18308) lower than ~$700 super star  destroyer 10221(15952). meaning this would be lot harder to move. no point in hoarding it unless you want pallet full of these in your stockroom.

SOOO much on Think Geek. mostly black gates as well as some Castle sets.

 

I also redeemed my crap load of Think Geek points as well.

what did you get for points. i haven't seen worthwhile stuff to redeem.. maybe i don't have enough points ...

You're right. But it's more of a personal comparison, rather than a reflection of the market at large. I'm just happy if I can get one of each set with my small Lego budget.

Hobbit Dol Guldur Battle 79014 - $29 at Walmart.

[cosmic brick]

Hi all.

 

New guy here.  Stopped by my local Wal-Mart after work and managed to catch the dept. manager taking markdowns in the clearance aisle.  Picked up 2 Jabba's Sail Barge for $50 each, left 1 on the shelf. 

 

I got him to call an assistant manager and managed to haggle down the LOTR Pirate Ship Ambush set to $54 each.  Picked up 3 of these and left 2  on the shelf.

 

If I had had the money, I would have taken all of them.  Pretty happy with this trip!

[cladner]

got hosed by the walmart app today and didn't get the $40 Jabba Barges that are listed at an out of the way walmart in the middle of nowhere (gardner, ma).

i ended up getting 6 mint Captain America for the 14.97 deal which with the instore and online prices actually matching for once.

they also had a stash of 5 76000 Arctic Batman's that rang u at 15 so it wasn't a total waste of a drive.

when i got home a T1 from target and 2 minecraft 21006 nethers from amazon were waiting from ups undamaged which was a nice surprise.

[trekgate502]

Took a small drive and picked up a couple of $49 sail barges. Passed on two $49 AT-TE. I had them in my cart and put them back. That set just doesn't do it for me. Original trilogy only. Would rather spend that money on better deals or exclusives.

I'm still tempted to return and grab a couple Cargo Planes too.  I need to go through the Wal-Mart app again for all these updated prices.

[jaisonline]

Was suppose to get this $125 lot of 6 MISB set but each one arrived opened w/ box.  UGH. big diff between MISB and used values.  I would expect $275 in revenue before seller fees when everything is sold.

All boxes, manuals, and elements in decent condition. stickers are also applied correctly.

 

4736-1     Freeing Dobby

4737-1     Quidditch Match

4738-1     Hagrid's Hut

4865-1     The Forbidden Forest
4866-1     The Knight Bus
4867-1     Battle for Hogwarts

 

I'll might end up selling my remaining MISB versions and keep these for my son in-case he becomes a Potter fan.

Random little mini score but I found a lone monster fighter hearse at tru for $14.68 : D

[Azrielsc]

Picked up a MSIB UCS 10174 AT-ST last night from a reseller.

 

Buying EOL UCS sets is killing me!

[speedpro50]

I picked up a 10030 for $800. The bags are all sealed, sticker included, but the box is opened and warn out.

[terrymc4677]

Another Heartlake Mall for $64.56. This is becoming my Thursday ritual as of late.

[rock5points]

Where are you getting it for that price? That's not bad at all!

Even with the 20% and 10%, that's not even that low. Are you pairing with discounted Gift Cards also?

[r0by76]

I am waiting for email confirmation from the seller, but I'd consider it closed. 6067 Guarded Inn, one of most iconic classic Castle sets of the '80s, 100% complete, very good conditions, 50 eur + 10 eur shipping.

It will be a great addition to my collection of vintage Castle sets!

20% + 10% + $20 worth of rewards coupons. I got a bunch of rewards coupons in the mail from the SSD's I recently purchased.

Score!
