What Lego set did you buy today?


Recommended Posts

Picked up the following this week:

 

2 Steamrollers at 35

3 Steamrollers at 28

3 Milanos at 35

2 Attack on Lake-town at 20

2 Hulk Busters at retail

 

With that small amount, I really feel like I am running out of places to put these at home. I am not sure how some of you do it when you are buying more than 10 of this, and 10 of that, and 30 more of those. You must live in a Malibu Mansion.

I have a 2-car garage and only one car. My car barely fits in garage.

Hi chezzzuk,

there was a 15 % off yesterday on sunday sale at kaufhof.de , also there was this newsletter 10% off when you register any email.

you get a code and paste it through the order. Then you get another 10 % of the 15 %, and on Top you get some payback points.

so all in all it was 122

Bought the Hulk Buster for my son. Nice set but not worth $30 retail. Maybe $20 max. This set is a perfect example why set price is based the elements used (not the # count).

Price is typically based on weight, plus, at least in this case, the licensed theme involved.

yup. some elements and colors are more expensive to produce. i totally agree about weight (i referred to this as elements used) and license.   license fee can be big.

 

If this were the case, shouldn't 60025 Grand Prix Truck be $40?  That thing is a brick.

License fee is the growing problem.  Getting more and more $$$$ for these big licenses especially with Disney involvedsets. 

 

Those are the sets seeing the bigger spikes.  Ariel's Under Sea Palace was the first big one out of the new year.  Almost 15 cents a piece.  I know there is a lot of unique pieces but they will keep pushing it under these Disney sets.

 

Hulk Buster is another great example.  Its over the normal $20 set price range in elements but $25 probably should of been it, instead because of its content it is $30.

A nice find for me

 

Yes!  That's a great find.  Congrats on picking up a GE in 2015, especially at that price, at the Lego Store.

Wow, those are great prices.  I was ready to snap up Dropships at $40. And I picked up one Turtle Sub at $30.  I'd love to have them at that price.  Great find.
