Whats embarrassing is I have about 10 of those in my closet and never even looked at the figs in any depth to see he had no real legs.

I need to do a Clone Wars marathon apparently. I have the full set and the movie I just never have watched any of it in any depth.

Thank you guys for letting me know seriously.  I was stuck on the Lucas quote from long ago.

I ordered another 5 Indominus Rex today, got shipping notice for 12 Raptor Rampage and a few cancellations ?, and have 8 T Rex Trackers shipped today, still pending some more on backorder.

Went by Meijer and got 9 Raptor Rampage, 1 T Rex Tracker and a host of the other smaller sets to make full kits.  Everything at MSRP (some on sale) plus 15% off mperks.

Told me there is 14 more at the Walmart across town, i'll stop there on my way to work in AM. 2 quick pics. Pics are of the box ones, loose ones still in back of truck.

Craigslist find- 6198 7180 6776 4970 7144 6199 6292 4990 6977 6975 7415 4980 2556 7317 7315 7316 5978 5975 6096 6094 7186 6098 6291 4709 6290 8532 8535 3723 4561 4531 7194 all for $350. Really nice lady. the 7194 and 3723 were the picks of the group! Most are older sets but there are some really good ones that will make it worthwhile. All of them look to be complete with instructions.

Bought 1 Tower of Orthanc, 1 Tumbler and 1 Parisian Restaurant. Have 2 of each now. Had €35 VIP points and used them.

I am now interested in the new Mercedes Truck for myself and all of the Scooby Doo sets.

All from TRU using TRUTH and 20% gc magic:

Friends Grand Hotel for $75 out the door

Ultra Agents Ocean HQ for $57 out the door

High Speed Passenger Train for a friend for $86 out the door

Should have gotten a couple more Ultra Agents Ocean HQ sets. I actually think this set is going to see a very limited run and cannot be found outside of lego.com and TRU.

So yesterday I got my Meijer credit card bill.  With the Meijer promotion for spending way too much money with them I got a 15% off all General Merchandise coupon.  You have to spend $1500 on your credit card to get one of these coupons.  You have to use your Meijer Credit Card to cash it in.  You can probably see where this is going...

Oh, and it stacks with the 15% mperks discount they are giving through tomorrow on all general merchandise ... 

Oh, and both offers stack on top of Clearance items...

That is the good news, the bad news is I am now $500 closer to my next award because I went "investing" today.  As I tell my wife, I am buying Legos for investment purposes only.  :-)

Three 79018 (The Lonely Mountain) - $79.83 each

Retails at 129.99, Meijers Clearance at 110.49.  15% mPerks discount to 93.92 , 15% discount for CC purchase  $79.83  -  There are still some at the Mt. Clemens and Fraser Meijers at 110.49.  I bought the best three I could find at Fraser as this set is basically disappearing from the retail stores around Detroit.  (walmart and Target have none, Meijers is mostly out and TRU has some at TRU prices).  

They also had the 75032 (x-wing) and 75030 (falcon) clearing at 15% off so final price was $6.14 a piece on these (with additional discounts).  Bought the last four falcons and two x-wings they had.

Next up was the Battle of the Five Armies - 79017.  This one was clearing at 44.99 with additional discounts and coupons it was down to $32.50.  LAst one they had and the only one I have seen in eight Meijers in the area.  I went to the Fraser store because I thought I remembered them having one of these from a week ago.  They did and now I have another.

For the heck of it I threw in a Ninjago 70727 x-1 Ninjago Charger.  Not a big fan of the Ninjago series but I do like to have them in the annual garage sale.   The final price was 21.67 and I don't have any so now I have one.  But One I will flip at some point for a 25 to 30% profit (I Hope)

Next on the list was a 60035 Artic Outpost.  I did not have one of these so I added one to the collection so I can start working on the complete Artic set.  I already had base camp so for a total of $30.70 I have expanded the collection and made a step towards completing the Artic subtheme.

With all the hobbiting going on I had to add two witch battles (79015) at $9.20 each.  For under $10 and with the three figures in the set I don't think I can go wrong by adding a few more of this set to the collection.

And last but not least, have to add some Star Wars Rebels to the collection.  Meijers lists the 75078 Imperial Troop Transport for $12.99 but had $3.00 off that price today so with discounts, etc.  I was getting those at 7.22 each.   I know it is early in the run for these items but when I can pull Star Wars at 40% or more off retail I have to make the buy.  I bought three because I was pushing the limits already.  I left a few on the shelves.

I had to put some stuff back.  AATs, Guardians of the Galaxy, small artic sets.  There will hopefully be better opportunities in the future for these but at this point I had to let it go.  I got the three Lonely Mountains I came for and the rest was just gravy.  Too much gravy can sometimes ruin the meal.  I think three lonely mountains at 38.5% off retail is a pretty good meal (er... deal)
