Managed to source 6 x 9465 Zombies for 25% off. I think I've cleaned out the last of the stock available locally. Bought a few series 10 CMFs yesterday as well. Have struggled a little with the smooshing, takes me ages.

Picked up 2 Weathertop sets for $49 (RRP here is $90)

Walked into the dinky Walmart across town that I never go to about 30 minutes ago and went to the Lego isle which is about 1/3 the size of the other walmarts in town and low and behold marked there were: (5) 6868 Hulk's Helicarrier Breakout for $15! Yes! $15. All the boxes in good shape. I picked up 5 for $30 at another walmart last week. Both walmarts have small toy sections which is the only reason I could see why they would be on sale. Funny thing is it didn't have any red tags or anything that said it was on sale. Just the yellow & white beam label that read $15.

Just got home from TRU. I got their last 2 Attack on Weathertops for $50.84 each, including tax. It was a nice surprise. The shelf tag still said $64.50. I asked about price matching, and she said yes they match their online price ($59.99). But then when she scanned it she said it was already on sale for $54.99. That meant none of my coupons would work, but then she pulled out a coupon she had in her drawer that gave me another $15.00 off. She even threw in an extra freebie (Star Wars Mandalorian Fighter), one for each set. All in all, I'm happy.

Had a good weekend trip out of state and picked up a couple of things. Gotta love rural Barnes and Nobles. One 7964 Republic Frigate for $80. This B&****** had 4 frigates, and a ton of other random old Atlantis, PotC, etc. Went back later to grab a Hoth Wampa Cave for $30 (after discounts, etc). At the B&****** in Rome, Georgia though, found 2 Hogwarts (smaller version), 2 Quidditch Match, and 1 Forbidden Forest. Got those for about $120 total after discounts etc. Today I found one Weathertop for $42, and two Hulk Helicarrier Breakouts for $35 each (can't match the $15 up above, haha). Those were at Fred Meyer.

while the rest of you were out looking like total nut-jobs, smooshing for mr. gold today, i scored another solid shopko clearance deal. i hit up four different shopkos in my area and bought the following... 6864 batmobile & two-face chase x 28 @$22.41/each. they were on clearance for $24.99/each. today is the first wednesday of the month, so i dragged my father out of his house to take advantage of his extra 15% senior discount, which brought the price down to $22.41/each including tax. total cost, including tax, was $627.48. total retail, including tax, is $1476.72. that's a savings of $849.24 that will eventually all go to the bottom line. if you have shopkos in your area, get out there today, and make sure to bring a senior citizen with you! they only offer that senior discount on the first wednesday of every month. good luck!

[CNH1974]

Don't bug me, I have had a long day. You lot are just waking up. Now I have looked at the box, it's 9476, the Orc Forge. :)

[redeemed763]

Haha, its ok, I just looked at your post and scratched my head and thought, "I have no idea what he just said!"

[CNH1974]

awesome! is this the price at all of your walmarts? a national markdown? or just regional? i checked all of mine a few days ago and they were all still at $130.

[Daniel304]

Just paid 100euro for a fully working 6991, I always wanted a monorail. It is in good condition including instructions without box.

[Strytlr]

2 Brandenburg Gates @ $22.99. One to build and one to invest.

[nolanfan34]

Three more Weathertops at $45 after tax. One at Fred Meyer, two at a single Target. There was no shelf tag - they were tucked behind Orc Forges (of which I have seen a ton of at Target this week), no clearance tag or anything, but rang up at $41.98. Saw a Mines of Moria at Fred Meyer today for $55, but the box was trashed so I passed.

I am typically not one to spike the football but... My personal collection picked up a complete display-only condition used Maersk train + box/instructions for $90. I may have to pick up a new sticker sheet but even with the additional cost that's still below retail for a set I would build even if I bought it new. 2 bins, full, all different eras and types of sets with a stack of instructions. ~50 mini/megafigs from SW, HP, MF, IJ, and others. Paid $0. Yep, it was free on CL. Hoe lee sheet. I was expecting a jilted lover would hand me the stuff but it was a really cool couple who are moving out of country and just had to get rid of it stat. Now in terms of biggest score or largest profit margin this doesn't even come close but a great day none-the-less and I finally got my Maersk!!

Lego Quidditch Match 4737, Amazon Warehouse Deals for 17.39. It already sells for near double that. I am taking a gamble on the condition, but it should still be a good find.

terry, its only a price at few near me..

[steakyboy]

awesome! is this the price at all of your walmarts? a national markdown? or just regional? i checked all of mine a few days ago and they were all still at $130.

The (2) i scored at $89 a couple weeks ago were in clearance aisle at Walmart. I don't know if they sniffed the Lego aisle, they were together and had this clear packing tape on them as if packed together, dunno.

[terrymc4677]

ok. thanks for the reply. i have been waiting for this one to go down in price (as most of us probably have), so i will just keep checking periodically and watching the forums!

[kerrmando]
