Been collecting for 6 months now and this would be my first Harry Potter set!!! What do you guys think? I've never seen any Harry Potter bootlegs out in the wild so hopefully this is the real deal. There were 4 available in total and they were all snatched up pretty quick http://m.ebay.com/itm/291666550518?_mwBanner=1 I think you don't have time to ask others here. As soon as you ask, it will be bought by someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it's coming from Hong Kong it'll be a month and a half before it gets to NY but I don't mind waiting if it's the real deal. Was just wondering if others had experience ordering a mis-priced listing from Hong Kong. I know there are certain Lego bootlegs out there that originate from Asia but I've never seen Harry Potter bootlegs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpinemaps Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 My wife stumbled upon a 70169 - Agent Stealth Patrol in a local toy store's clearance bin, for 50% off. She messaged me about it, asking if she should get it. Told her to take it. My wife has strict orders to buy any and all LEGO at 50% off, no questions asked. I'll worry about it later if it's a bust, but there's always a kids birthday or Toys for Tots. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpinemaps Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I give it as gifts. Maybe that's why we don't get invited back the next year. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarleyMoose Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 TJMaxx- 2 complete sets of Series 5 Mixels. Each Mixel was $3.99. Figured why not. WM Clearance- 4x 75094 Shuttle Tydirium at $74 ea. 1x 60080 Spaceport for $89. 3x 31038 Changing Seasons at $35 ea. 3x 70402 Gatehouse Raid at $21 ea. 3x 70403 Dragon Mountain at $35 ea. The WM in Fairhaven, MA still has about a dozen each of the 2 Castle sets I left. They also had about8x 9525 Pre Vizslas at $40 ea that I left as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Briggs Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Thanks to @Chillreign I was able to purchase a 41101 Heartlake Grand Hotel at 33% off RRP. The price was not as good as during Galeria's Black Friday offerings but still good enough for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be a sign, but its usually a sign 6+ months ahead of actual retirement. also Q1 is inventory season so clearance is quite chaotic, especially at Walmart where clearance is often chaotic anyway. now at $74 its a decent buy, but you likely have most of this year to stock up.

I looked around the so-called "Clearance" isles in my walmart today but found only fake deals (i.e. $5 off a $50 set), and "clearance" on newly released sets such as CITY Crooks Hide-out. Best discount was Turtle Liar from $99 for $74, didn't bite of course. Ended up buying 2 Friends polybags with R3 date codes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but not at 74.00. That buy-in is perfect, IMO for this set. Usually at the EOL the prices go up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After months of holding out I am going to start building modulars....for better or worse It's for the better. The modulars are really nice builds. One of my childhood friends has done around 30 MOCs to compliment the LEGO official models. Once you understand some of the basics of the build layouts and learn a few advanced building techniques, there's really no limit to what you can create. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckeyeFanDan Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Found 21301 - Birds at TRU for MSRP so I picked it up. But the find of the day for me was a 60052 - Cargo Train sitting on a shelf at Target. No price tag, no clearance tag, so I scanned it and it came up $59.98. Needless to say, I bought it! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legogregors Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Back woods Kmart picking up a brick bounty and came across two 60022 cargo planes and a snow speeder. MSRP but I wasn't complaining! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
