oneknightr Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 My local Target re-stocked the cash register areas where they put the polybags with Series 13 blind bags. I ended up feeling out 9 hot dog guys and one unicorn girl. I would'be been able to get more unicorn girls if I had more time but I only had time to quick feel each bag for the hot dog guy. I found a lone hot dog guy sitting on one of the shelves too. Not sure if the person who put it there knew it was him or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thoroakenfelder Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I picked up 2 Ezra's Speeder Bikes for $14.99 each at a closing K-Mart. I felt like the part value was pretty good for my store, and the rare pieces might bring in some orders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grissom Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) 3 Eiffel Towers on Amazon, saved a bit as got £10 off when spend £50 Tesco have their clubcard boost scheme on again so I doubled up my vouchers and got 3 Raptor Escapes (now have 10) and a Big Ben to make up to the value of the vouchers.

Tgnmonster Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 New Parisian Restaurant off craigslist for $100. The seals were popped on the one side, but everything is in there, and sealed. I'll probably be building this one based on all the popular reviews here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrymc4677 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I took my wife with me yesterday to go pick up my MM's from Target. We stopped at a nearby TRU and noticed the employees filling one of those gravity fed end cap displays with some new series 13. I showed her how to smoosh, and we walked away with four more hot dog guys and two more unicorn girls, along with my 3 MM's. Our kids weren't with us, so she felt kind of awkward since we are both in our mid thirties and were smooshing without any kids with us. That kind of thing doesn't phase me anymore. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redghostx Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Bought 2 MM from Kmart for $50 and $10 back in points, good enough for me. I expect poor packaging but the last delivery was expertly packaged with lots of air bubbles; someone went to great effort to make me happy.

That kind of thing doesn't phase me anymore.I saw 2 adults, maybe a couple, smooshing together at LEGO Store one-time, talking about the elements inside, somewhat excitedly, etc. I later told the wife and she just rolled her eyes. "You probably find that cute or romantic?" I just walked away, since I knew my answer either way would be wrong.

BrickLegacy Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I saw a young man and his mom smooshing packs at TRU once. Don't be afraid to approach these folks. They aren't all resellers. I asked them if they found any Lincoln or Wyldstyle and they handed me one of each from their pile. LEGO fans are good people even if some of them try to convince some of us that the opposite is true. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kind of thing doesn't phase me anymore.Good. No need to feel awkward of feeling up little bags with tiny people inside. ....Well, that just sounded weird. Anywho, I usually find the Collectable Minifigures at Target and from standing there for periods at a time ended up getting to know a couple more of the employees there. Funny how the conversations start with "Looking for a specific character?" followed by "Oh and you can figure out who's in there? That's cool." sort of response.

Jersey Crewmax Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Picked up another Technic set, the Volvo Loader 42030. It was purchased on Amazon UK so it'll be a while before I get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaisonline Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I had $52 in Amazon rewards. It helps that we still get wipes, diapers and coffee through their subscribe and save program Was just was about to buy the 10237 ToO but just couldn't pull the trigger (6 were left at the time). Maybe since I already have some stashed away and I'm not super duper high on the set. My next choice as denied. the UCS Sandcrawler was sold-out.I ended up buying 2 UCS tumblers. http://www.amazon.com/LEGO-6062409-Superheroes-The-Tumbler/dp/B00MU2DMX8/ref=pd_sim_21_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=0AZAWMAW9ZEM7K7KJPVQ?

oneknightr Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 My dry spell of not scoring any decent Craigslist deals has finally ended. I think it lasted about six months. Picked up loose Delorean and Ecto-1 complete with manual and boxes for $35 each. Really nice guy. He said he just sold a loose PR and PC (with box and manuals) for $220. I can't believe I missed that one! Oh well, I still got a decent deal though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the $35 loose Ecto-1 first and then negotiated on the Delorean. He was asking $50 and then said, "Well, I paid $35 for it, so I guess you can have it for $35." I learned that from American Pickers. Buy something at their asking price first to break the ice and then negotiate on other stuff. The loose Ecto for $35 was ok with me. It keeps me from opening a new set and allowing me to have a built one in my collection. Edited August 4, 2015 by oneknightr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.African.AFOL Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 One of our mega e-retailers listed the PR at $134 this morning. I was ready to buy a big batch, but they only had two in stock. Used some reward points and got both for $195. Hopefully their packing/shipping department knows how pedantic Lego collectors are about box condition! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
