To the lucky, lucky person I congratulate you on the deal of a lifetime and also I hate you forever. Some idiot teen in Iowa decided he was too old for Lego and had his mom put up a Craigslist ad for his old sets. New-in-box, never opened 10179 UCS Milennium Falcon AND 10030 UCS Imperial Star Destroyer. Total asking price: $600 for both sets, less than the two cost originally at retail. My heart hurts over this one. This is fraud. It popped up in west Michigan and texas. There is a thread somewhere on this site about it. They give you a number to call and say they moved to Kentucky of some crap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheese Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 This week I bought 2 Indominous Rex on sale for 30% off MRSP from Argos and got a new Town Hall off eBay for €400 for my modular town. Hope to get some profit from the 2 IR post retirement to help offset the Town Hall purchase 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Briggs Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Yesterday @Roy vd M. mentioned an offer I couldn't resist: 41101 Heartlake Grand Hotel at £57.13 shipped. And today I bought a 41119 Heartlake Cupcake Cafe for 21,59€. Still, I managed to purchase only 6 items spread across 4 sets for a whole month. That's quite a change from the previous month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is actually to get your number and email sometimes they even get a name and they know your city as that was where your ad was. They can sell this info. Ad this with credit skimmers in your area and your screwed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jay4e Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Burned some SYW points and coupons on JW at Kmart.com. Picked up two IRex for around $70 each and grabbed a couple RR for about $10 each, I had over $100 in points going in plus some vip coupons. Both are still available and not tagged as hot buys. Also found a lonely TRex clearanced at walmart for $49. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFC01 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Bought a Millennium Falcon 75105 MISB for 105€ and a used 8087 Tie Defender for 41€. The 8087 was complete with box, intructions and even extra pieces. The owner took great care of it apart some dust in the black pieces. It was clearly a set he had for exhibtion. I'm building it, doing some modifications and then probably use the pieces for other things. The MF, I still don't know if I'm building it or selling it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toni8284 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 The Kmart 30 miles away was closing. So they have all toys 30% off. So I got all 76031 (around 50 of them) for $20.99 plus tax. Looks like a Fair deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackanape Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) Got three 21017 Imperial Hotel over the weekend. They were on sale for £77.99 which wasn't bad for a retired set, but then I got a further 10% off to make them £70.19 each. Architecture is not as big here in the UK but even selling these at RRP would net me a decent return so I'm happy with the cost. Wasn't sure they would actually ship (as they went out of stock soon after I ordered) but got confirmation last night and the courier should be here today. Pretty good deal I think. Also picked up two 75090 Ezra's Speeder for £11.33 each, again not a set that will set the world on fire but one that offers a decent chunk of return even at RRP.
