What Lego set did you buy today?


Recommended Posts

Everyone remember this set I bought of off Goodwill couple weeks back?  A couple of you ask how it went.  It finally arrived today.

 

Oh, Huskers...you may be more right than you know.

So, guess what happened?  They sent the wrong order.

Here's my auction (35 lbs)

And here an auction for 31 lbs that ended at the exact same time.

If you look over the bid history, you can see the guy who won the 31 lbs bid on my auction, too.  He may be well aware what might be in my lot.  So, now it's a waiting game.  What will Goodwill say?  (I fired off an email tonight).  Will the other guy realize the mistake, and be honest, and do a swap (at their cost, of course)?  Or, will he conveniently be quiet on the subject?

I've got to admit the lot he got is pretty darn good.  I sorted through it tonight (with some help from California92563) - next time I'm live streaming it on Periscope for all of you.  We found a few Indiana Jones sets, Egypt, old Adventurers, Mars Mission, Alpha Team, 90s Underwater, old Harry Potter.  It's definitely a "win" of a lot!  Fantastic deal for $111 for 31 lbs of bulk.

I'll keep everyone updated...

I go to that Outlet all the time. They seem to be pretty good people.  Need me to crack some skulls for you?  

how much do you pay for shipping on something that heavy?  their shipping quotes are always outrageous!

A lot of the Goodwills have a pickup option for a flat fee. I think the one there is like 2.50.

Been in a battle with another lego investor in my local Wal-Mart. They beat me to latest mark down with some Hurricane Heist and TMNT Lair but I was there today when they dropped there toys to almost 90% off. Lego were around 60%  Got 8x Hurricane Heist for $29, Cloud Cuckoo for $5 and they had some bionicle for $5. And 4 other carts of toys for regular Amazon business. It was like black friday there as people were trying to take stuff out of my cart. Did give some to the ones that I knew were not selling them.

Nice pickups. I was able to find x4 Hurricane Heists about 4 months ago for $25 at a Walmart on the way to visit my folks. The closest store near me has some marked at $40! There's no way I'm touching them; just can't pull myself to pay more than the $25 I paid for the 4 I already have. It's just not a high-enough sought after set

Yea I was waiting on there latest mark down but it took forever and a lot of good sets were slowly depleted.  I got 3 Hurricane Heist for $15 so that will drop my average. Wish all Wal-Mart's followed same mark downs.

Wow... I can't stand there and smoosh in a Lego store. Target or TRU, sure... off on your own in the toy aisles... but in a Lego store? Out in the open, where it couldn't be more obvious that you are trying to take the 'prize' goods, and leave the common stuff for the rest of the customers? That takes attitude that I don't have.

seems weird to me as well, especially employees doing it but seems to be the norm at all stores.  My daughter actually gets upset and never wants to know.  Likes the surprise element of it I suppose.  If she gets doubles just uses them in some other set up she has.

On buying note

15 TOT (might as well make the acronym now)

SC Damaged 1000pts

2 ToO

Just picked up the final duel (75093) at Kmart, instore.  They do not seem to have it online but found a couple in store.  All coupons and points worked as well so came to $42 after $20 in points and coupons and 30% off discounted gc, plus should be getting another $20 back in points.  A little early to be picking these up for me but with SYW discounts its a steal, and who knows what will happen to stock when TFA hits.

Also grabbed a UA Ocean HQ (70173) from TRU for $72 + $5.75 in points. debating on grabbing the other one they had...

A great day at TRUTH! Was able to snag two Wall-E's early for an average price of $49.35 using a $10 reward, 20% off one regularly priced item, and TRUTH 10% off. I'll probably sell one and build the other.

Then, I found 3 Galaxy Squad Galaxy Vaporizers (506 piece set) for $18.27 a piece. That was too good a price to leave them on the shelf. Maybe now I have a good starting point for a Shiptember build on the cheap!

On that note anyone else have a problem with them not allowing the discount on exclusives?  the last couple times I have tried they pulled out a list of exclusives that were not allowed to discount.

Thanx, Didnt think of there. We have one in Boston but no way to call and ask if they have any particular set. Have to email..........Ughhhhhhhhhhhh
