What Lego set did you buy today?


Recommended Posts

Picked up 21 S14 packs at TRU.  They didn't have them out, but I knew they would be there as the guy told me last week he had them.  They went and found their lone case so I had a fresh one to work with.  Unfortunately, time was not on my side so I couldn't sit and smoosh forever.  My success rate wasn't perfect as I got some doubles that I didn't want like Werewolf and Frankenstein, but maybe someone here will need them.  I ended up with 13/16 and need the Zombie Pirate, Bigfoot, and Lady Ghost(forgetting her real name.)  Thing that drives me crazy is I had other Bigfoots and ZP's but put them back because I thought I had already smooshed them but was wrong.  I was happy to find extras of Spider Lady and Plant Guy but also thought I had extra Fly Guy but did not. 

I don't get the hate for Tiger Girl, I think that one will be a hit just like the other costumes, maybe I'm wrong but I like her.  Overall, this set is awesome and I do think they will sell out fast.

Guy also said he didn't think they were getting C-3PO poly as a giveaway, so not sure where that is coming from, hope he's wrong.

I managed to get 1 TOT at Disney Anaheim.  They limited them to 1 per customer.  I got 0 of the S14 minifigs - apparently they can't follow their own rules and sold them out last Friday.  So all the hype and bans for selling before 9/1 and they couldn't even have 1 in store at opening.  I was saddened but kind of disgusted by a "AFOL" who dropped the F-bomb 3 times at the Lego rep - don't be like that in a children's toy store of all places... ahh humanity.

I also picked up a SW and Friends Advents for my kids (not investment).  The SW Advents sold out in 5 minutes.

The store also became very stickler on the free Tractor sets even with 2 people purchasing it they really enforced the 1 per household rule.

There was no sign of Louvre or Wall-E and they didn't know when they would get them in-stock.

Looks like Target will be getting more business - at least in SoCal.

10 ToT's (limit was 20 this morning on UK lego online shop, wasn't sure about buying that many, now see the limit is 5, hope I get them !)

Bought the last Wall-E on the George website and backordered one at Amazon uk (had vouchers to use otherwise would have gone to John Lewis who have 10+ available)

Got a case… but, only had 2 werewolves in it, and instead there were 5 gargoyles.  Regardless, i've managed to land 5 complete sets with the addition of this case, as I also found these early at a Target when some of their employees disregarded the "out on september 1st only" stickers…  Can almost make a sixth complete set, if I get a few figs.
