What Lego set did you buy today?


Recommended Posts

4 City mines from TRU, they are back available for shipping and you cannot beat the clearance price less 20%.  Should be a strong performer.

Thanks.  I ordered a couple.  After 5% off from Raise.com they worked out to under $65 each.  Seems like a cool set, hoping to sell one to pay for the other in a year or so.

Nice find! Don't know about you, but I've always found when I actively seek out yard sales or estate sales, I never find anything good. It's always the ones you randomly run into or go just because a friend or significant other is going.

That always happens to me! Sometimes, the garage sales that I seek out have Lego, but it is extremely overpriced. I have had the best luck with Lego at estate sales. I have gotten over $2000 in older used Lego sets for around $150.

Nicely done! Especially the Sea Cows and the ploys.

Over the last couple of days (since the Walmart success), I've picked up the following:

 

eBay:

Kai's Fire Mech 70500 - $6

Han Solo polybag - $7

Darkseid Invasion 76028 - $55

 

Craigslist:

Star Wars T-16 Skyhopper 75081

Star Wars Rebels TIE Advanced Prototype 75082

Star Wars Rebels AT-DP 75083

Star Wars Rebels Ezra's Speeder Bike 75090

Jabba the Hutt, Max Rebo, and Princess Leia in Gold Bikini from the Sail Barge set

- all four sets were used, but on display, only missing the fighter pilot (not the Inquisitor) from the TIE Advanced, all for $60

 

Imperial Star Destroyer 10030 - a ridiculously low price that I won't mention here.  Much lower than value.  I work for the Marine Corps, and bought it from a Marine (who never put it together) who had bought it from another Marine.  We were both told "there are only 4 or 5 missing pieces).  The tub is full and heavy.  At the price I got it at, it's worth the risk to see if it's mostly there.  The instruction manual is included.  This is my new "project" and I will be spending many nights tearing it apart, inventorying it, and putting it together.

Nice!! I bought the Ezra speeder set for my oldest and it's a really cool build and looks really good when completed. Were the Rebels sets purchased for investment or for your personal collection? I really like the show but I am not sure about investing in the sets. I've always read that the OT sets are the best to invest in.

I'm a big fan of the show, and needed the Ezra set to complete the crew (since Sabine only comes in that set for now).  I have a few Ghost/Phantom combos, but only had one Ezra Speeder Biker for my personal collection, until now.  I won't open the one I've got sitting there - I'll add that to the Ghost/Phantom combos, and I'll have this used one for my personal collection.

 

As for investment strategy - on this particular set, I'm looking to bundle Ghost/Phantom/Speeder Bike just to round out the crew.  I think the series is a win, and I think the characters are fantastic.  I don't do much SW Lego investing, but my gut says these sets will be a win.  The Ghost itself is a great build, and coupled with the Phantom, is fantastic.

Awesome. I think the characters are fantastic as well and my son has the Phantom as well. That is a really cool set as well. We just need the Ghost but that'll have to be for a special occasion.

I don't have too many SW sets either but I'll start buying the Mos Eisley Cantina pretty shortly.

About a week ago I was at my local St. Vinnies looking for a new book or two. I always check the toy section and that day was no different. I grabbed a bag of LPS for the school and was just about to leave disappointed when a fresh cart of toys appeared. I squealed when I saw the employee throw a gallon ziplock of LEGO on the shelf. She giggled at me and said she had more in her cart. I ended up with five - gallon bags and a stack of 10" road base plates. The sad and funny part was when I went to pay for it the people at the counter were talking about a guy that was in the store earlier buying LEGO and asked if they had more. They told him no and then found these bags. I wonder what he got?

I had a weekend project of sorting and detecting what sets I had. So far I have found and built a black monarchs castle #6085, Victory Lap Raceway #6395, Battering ram #6062, Sonar Transmitting Cruiser #6783 and I still have a huge pile of red and yellow pieces that look like more speed track sets by the mini figs. I paid $30.00 and have had way more fun than that. Lol. It floors me that I was able to build each set with only a few missing pieces.

Ty for letting me fill your ears with old lady craziness. Lol it is so nice to have adults that understand. Lol

TREASURE!!! Nothing better. I am looking forward to having my kids be old enough to help instead of just dumping everything.
