What Lego set did you buy today?


Recommended Posts

So, did you realize it was a 7965 when you were bidding on it?  If so, good eye, and good job.  That's a fantastic price, and a great job.

Yeah, I saw the cockpit canopy right off, the Leia and Obi-Wan confirmed it in my mind, along with the gray helmet and all of the wedges. I assumed that a large portion of the set would be there, but I expected a bit more would be missing.

Just been into my local Debenhams and saw some series 1 mixels just sitting there (about half a case)!! Needless to say I took them straight to the till and out of curiosity asked if they had any more. They popped out the back and came out with a nearly full case!

So Ive just got 3 complete sets of 9, 3 complete sets of red and four odd for £111 :money:. They also let me take the display case. How many sets of mixels come in a display case, any one know?

Just to sweeten the deal they also had a near fresh case of series 13 MF so I did a quick smoosh and got all 3 hotdog guys (up to 14 of these now)

Also bought star wars Advent calender these seem to be hard to find at retail at the moment.

8x Ghostbusters & 8x Big Bang Theory @ 33.33% off & while I was there in jest I mentioned I'd take all the remaining series 12/13 & Simpsons II minifigs to "make room for better stuff" if they gave me 50% off them...  they did!  I was just kidding :-)  another 232 random figs to add to the pile.

Fantastic find on the Series 1 Mixels m8, Debenhams eh, who would of thunk it. Back on topic picked up another 17 Lego Movie Double Decker couches at a random Smyths for £10 each.

I also and hate doing it felt for some Hotdog guys and managed to find two of them, luckily they were on a random corner at the end of a shelf, so I think nobody spotted me doing it :lol:

Yeah hate it. I'll do the hotdog guy only because its easy. And its the only one I can do. And because its worth the most. And because I like hotdogs

So I've been buying used lots with sets my wife and I want, building everything, and then selling the rest to recoup some cash, coming out ahead, at the very least, factoring what we would've spent on what we kept. Perhaps when I've been watching you guys play the game long enough and have the capital I'll jump in. But for the time being I just wanted to share this: I bought a lot with a very apparent non-original-3 retired modular in it for the price of a used copy of the modular. Based on the description I was given, it sounded like there may be another in the lot, along with some other smaller sets. Received it today. Sure enough, had a couple "modern era" retired modulars, a couple more sets went for $100ish retail and oh what's a Darth Vader doing in here? What sets does this one appear in? I looked at the pieces spread out across the table and realized I also received a Super Star Destroyer!! Needless to say I was elated and have since been threatening the wife that I'm going to hover it over our modular city hahah TBD on keep, hold, sell. : D
