What Lego set did you buy today?


Recommended Posts

Swung by my local B&M Lego Store....

 

1x Friends Hot Air Balloon for my daughter for Valentine's Day

1x ExoSuit (still plenty on the shelves)

1x Ecto-1 (first one, the beginning of my stash of these guys)

 

All at retail, minus $5 in VIP points.

 

Red 5 was still no where to be seen.  Clerk acted like he thought they'd get more, but he was just guessing.

It was actually yesterday, but I bought 2 Trevi Fountains and 1 Brandenburg Gate from the Archetecture line. The Trevi Fountain sets were $34.76 marked down from $49.90 and Brandenburg Gate was $21.34 marked down from $29.99. Got these at Target and was really surprised. They were actually hiding on the second shelve down behind the 30% off clearance sign. You couldn't see them just looking at the shelf. You had to lift up the sign to see them. I'm so glad I looked!! It's about time I found a couple discounted sets.....and I'm glad they were Archetecture sets since I don't have any.

This is probably the strangest or most random purchase story I have had so far. A couple of years ago, in a kid's activity center gift shop I found a couple of retired 8051 Technic Motorbike's for $45.99. I bought one and left one (was selling for about $120 at that time). 

 

We were there again probably a year or so later, and they suddenly had 4 on the shelf. That time I bought 3, which all have sold in the $150-$160 range.

 

We returned again about 6 months ago and they had nothing.

 

I happened to be by there yesterday, so we popped in for a look, and they had FOUR of them on the shelf again! Picked up all 4 this time. It's a fairly rare set with very few for sale on Amazon/eBay, I have no idea where they keep finding these, guess I need to just ask how many more they have in the back. :-)
