Besides 4 Trains and 4 City Square found a Republic Gunship at Ross for $40

Nice find. What exactly is Ross and how/where do they acquire their Lego? Is it a close out store that receives "normal" retail stores' leftovers for pennies on the dollar? They are building one in my town. It should open in a month or two. I can't wait!

Ross is like a "not as organized" Kmart...

I feel like this is maybe your first Christmas on planet Earth?

Restaurants get busy this time of year too but you don´t get your food served looking like someone stepped on it. I know store staff have a lot on their plates but come on. Here they hire temps with partial disabilities just to tidy up the displays nicely - it doesn´t take much to do things right.

Found these at Ross and left the ones that weren't marked down.

5x 70225 Bladvic's Rumble Bear $13.99

1x 70226 Mammoth's Frozen Stronghold $19.99

There was another 70225 with seals that looked like they had been lifted and reapplied. I left it.

Way better than the prices on the same sets I found at TJ Maxx and Marshall's (didn't buy) - 70226 was $36, 70225 was $24.

Just bought a Tumbler from LEGO Shop at Home. My sweet wife allowed me to buy it and stash it to be opened later once I save up enough "allowance" money to pay for it. So pumped! In the meantime I get to admire the nice shiny box once it comes in!

Rule #1: keep the wife happy. Trust me on this, even the most accepting, forgiving and permissive spouse will hit her breaking point sooner or later. For me it was when the top shelf of her closet somehow became lined with Imperial Star Destroyers. It has cost me thousands of dollars in Lululemon gifts just to be "allowed" to store my ISDs there. Seriously my wife is awesome, and she is ready to leave me over Legos. That's how out of control it gets...

It was my birthday today. So I went investment shopping! 

Craigslist: 

Sandcrawler RRP no tax

UCS Tie RRP no tax

Palace Cinema RRP no tax

7x Classic Pirate promo $55. Possibly a fail here, but figure they might be nice to combo with some other Pirates combos I'll be selling down the road.

Tower of Orthanc $310. I have faith in this set in the long term, and figured the taxes I saved on the others can be lumped into paying the premium $40 over RRP+tax. I wanted more for the closet, hit my number with this one. 

Lego Store Oakridge:

2x Battle of 5 Armies $52.50+tax, left 2

2x Birds $48+tax, left 3

2x Witch King Battle $10.80+tax, left 10 or more

1x Detective's Office to build this evening. Edit: Damaged box* $200+tax +500 VIP points.

Used $160 in VIP points at Lego Store. 

 

Also grabbed a Brick Bounty and Attack on Lake Town at Canadian Tire yesterday. 

Felt like a good birthday! :D
