Guest TabbyBoy Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) Most large UK supermarkets now have scan & pack so you know the price as soon as the item goes into your trolley. I often scan all the LEGO sets in my local Sainsburys to see if there's any gems as the prices on the shelves often differ. This is how I get most of my CITY vehicles at -60% or less. I'll be doing the same in the morning when I do the weekly shop. Edited October 11, 2016 by TabbyBoy Quote

I'll be doing the same in the morning when I do the weekly shop. I've seen tesco doing this but no luck with sainsburys in my neck of the woods yet. I usually have to take a set to the self service till, scan and cancel if it's not at rumoured low price. They are pretty lax with updating shelf pricing and have found a few bargains but a handheld scanner would make life sooo much easier. Keeping on topic I bought and built Krennics Shuttle last night. Nice display model but I can imagine kids breaking bits off a lot if used for play. No straightforward place to hold it. Seriously tempted to sell all the R1 minifigs I have and just keep the models based on current selling prices. Edited October 11, 2016 by Fenix_2k1 Quote

TANV Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 So, I ordered the 10218 Pet Shop from Amazon last week when it was 20% off. Amazon sent it to me yesterday. Box was damaged and had a tear through the middle. Needless to say, I was LE SAD. This morning, I just got another 10218 Pet Shop. Just checked my credit card and everything. I ordered just one. Best. Buying. Decision. EVER. Quote

That way you can keep your second one (assuming it's mint) and return the slashed one. "Received extra item I didn't buy (no refund needed)". Hint. Edited October 11, 2016 by Phil B 5 Quote

Fenix_2k1 Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 After last months blowout with offers everywhere I've been quiet so far this month only buying for personal build Full set of Rogue One Vehicles. (May sell the minifigs though) Parisian Restaurant. The next oldest modular I didn't have, just covering any surprise retirements. I'm having to hold off on a few personal build purchases so people have things to buy me at xmas. Damn frustrating as i want to build the Caterham now. 1 Quote

They can be quite lucrative to sell which is why I've bought them in multiples of 3. I was selling 3x 31005 Contruction Haulers at a time for £42 last year (cost me £12 - £4 each at Tesco). It all started when buyers emailed me back asking, "Do you have another 2 of these sets?". A bit naughty but, I just posted them after payment to avoid fees ;-) BTW... Boots are trying to source dry Advent Calendars to replace the soaked shipment so, I've only asked for a couple as presents, not the job lot! Quote

rpaulson7 Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 Stopped into my favorite Walmart on my way home today. Found another indominus Rex 75919 for $30 in the clearance section. App and tracker show the $30 price but no stock. Of course it was stuck in between about 8 of those Maula's Ice Mammoth Stomper still in the clearance aisle for $89.97. 7 Quote
