What Lego set did you buy today?


Recommended Posts

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!

They would not sell Wall-E to me today.  Said street date was 9/1 and they had no way of overriding.  Hopefully they don't bump up from MSRP before next Thursday.  The coupon isn't as good, but I can still make it a deal.

I was tempted to try for a Wall-E, but only had one coupon and I used it on something with more bang for the buck return.

As I am awaiting the 7-10 day period for TRU to sort out one of the mysteriously disappearing balance gift cards, my buck was limited today.  If I'm not getting coupon + TRUTH 10% + discounted gift cards, then I'm getting cheated at TRU. :)

Poopy. I specifically went out for Wall-E today because I cancelled my Amazon orders.  3 TRUs in SoCal all not showing any anywhere.  I did manage to pick up a couple Ocean HQ and a couple birds and got lucky enough to use the 20% (didn't even bother with GC because SoCal ones are strict about that).

 

I allmost got a LOTR Pirate Ambush but somebody beat me to it and grabbed it 1 second before me - what are the chances grr.

Just come a little south. My TRUs seem to have this at $110 still.

5x Galaxy Squad Warp Stinger - clearanced to $7.98

1x Friends Heartlake High - clearanced to $19.98 (they had 1 more but the box was beat to hell)

2x City Museum Break-in - clearanced to $26.98

2x Series 13 Minifigure (Hot Dog Guy) - Regular price of $3.99

1x Series 12 Minifigure (Piggy Guy) - clearanced to $2.98

Made me double-check the date on this post. Haven't seen half of those sets in so long. Nice.

nice haul, wouldn't of left the other heartlake high though, used built ones sell for 35+ shipping and open box sealed bags sell for 42 plus shipping.

Sealed damage box of that would still get 50-60 easy

That set has plenty of upside as well

Went to Legoland CA today and tried to grab the DS that I saw 3 days earlier but didn't have time to buy - sadly it was gone - but they will be getting some back on Monday.

I did manage to score 2 79018 LMs that were on sale for $97.99 and got the 10% Merlin savings (they said 5% VIP couldn't be stacked on top) - came out to about $95 after tax which beat my TRUTH with 25% coupons - pretty happy with the 2 I got - now I won't feel guilty popping open a box.

They had S14 polys but no Halloween sets.  New TB boxes with the redesign was present.  Plenty of SOH, PS, PC, EV, Sea Cow (all original design).  No JW sets at all oddly.

Raptor Escape huh.  Idominus Rex what.  Can't hear you over the fire breathing roar of Smaugasaurus!

Well at least I know I need to keep attending my lip reading classes down at the community college. Because I didn't get that

Honestly I am dreadful at lip reading. Ha.

just out of curiosity but how did you do a video gif? I've tried uploading them before and it just uploads as a pic haha 

I usually save the gif found on the internet to my computer then "choose files" when making a post and add it in. Another method I haven't tried but I believe you can copy a direct image link from giphy or wherever, click on "Insert other media" when making a post here, followed by "Insert image from URL", paste the image link in the empty text box there and finally click on "Insert into post". Everything willing it should work properly.

Ain't that Summer from the OC?

I think you are correct.
