What Lego set did you buy today?


Recommended Posts

Just picked up a few polybags and bricktobers...

 

Yes, of course I got them at my local TRU here in USA.  Just something of note:  if you look back at the photo, you can see that 3PO is not nearly as shiny in real life as the polybag illustration suggests.  He looks pretty much like a basic 3PO to me + a red arm.  Just something to consider: If all they have is the marketing image to go on... some picky buyers could be disappointed... maybe even demand a refund, or open a SNAD?  Look at the Amazon listing for this item, and I think it is very misleading.  When selling, I would include an image of the actual figure next to the polybag, just to help protect yourself.

UPC 673419242455

Exactly.  The promo image even on the package makes it look more like a chrome/vac-metal version of C-3PO but that's not what we're getting here unfortunately.  LEGO must have cheaped out in the end, but at least it does have side arm and leg printing.  This is what it looks like:

zskid00 just reported it as well in the TRUTH Thread...

My TRUs have them, but I couldn't find any unknowledgeable employees to sell them to me.  If you can get them to find the case, I don't think they will ring up street dated.  So if they miss the signs on/around the boxes, they can sell them to you if you get them to the cashier.

Is there a way to know which TRU's have them in stock? a stock tracker of sorts?

You can call and ask if 169326 is in stock.  More than likely they'll say yes, but you need to make sure of a couple things before you drive there.  You need to ask if they're actually on the floor.  If not, see if they can put their hands on them in the back.  You can press further and ask what they ring up for.  This will tell the associate if it's street dated or not.  If they tell you $3.99 and they've put their hands on them and they don't say anything about street dated, I'd go to the store right then.  Because the next associate might know they're not spose to be put on the floor until 11/1.  But a bit of a warning; I've had more success at talking them into selling these kinds of things to me in person than I do over the phone.  Many times, by the time I've gotten there, they've told 2 or 3 other workers about their phone call and are told not to sell them.  If you can get them to find the items and ring them up with you there in person, your odds of getting out the door with them are much greater.

Picked up a 75054 AT-AT and a Bricktober store set for just over $80 after TRUTH and coupons. Stopped by a Walmart and found 15 raptor escapes on the shelf, only took 4 Waiting to see if I can quick flip before I pick up more. 

not sure where you are located but where-ever you are :) hope that they won't be picked up by someone like me.

i have been looking for some of these :D

Over the last week I sourced out some modulars to build to complete my block.  Prices in US funds, as always.

Palace Cinema - $110, no box
Detective's Office - $115, complete with box
Parisian Restaurant and Holiday Train from the Lego store - $144 and $40 earned in VIP points. 

I have built the cinema before but not the other two so I look forward to a nice drink and building session.
