What Lego set did you NOT buy today?

[Phil B]

It was hard to pass this up today...

Did you scan it? That price tag is for a different set. Could have been 90% off for all you know ….

I guess technically that's topic related... 😜

Sorry random Walmart in BFE Texas. I am not taking your $6 Vidyio crap off your hands.

Saw a cloud city at 350chf in a worn box. The retail price was 499 but at 350chf don't think I can make much so gave it a pass.

I didn’t buy UCS A-Wing at my local LEGO Store because they were OOS.

Shoot, that's one of the sets I would expect to be in stock.

I stopped into my local TRU to see if there were any deals. Lots of Lego stock, but no deals. I saw at least 6 Hogwarts Express still lingering...but full MSRP. Tempting, but I passed.

I think it’s retiring and OOS most everywhere now.

Also did not buy 10291 Queer Eye Loft.  The Disney Springs store was overrun with that set.  There was at least one full wall, and then sets scattered along the tops of multiple other display walls throughout the store.  It was the only set they had marked at 20% off.  But they had a ton.

ITs the biggest turd of 2021 by a long shot, dethroning Vidiyo. Its overstocked everywhere. Its the set literally no one asked for, basically a politically motivated set......

I didn't realize this set was politically-motivated.  I thought they were doing iconic sets from tv shows, like with Friends and Seinfeld, too.

It ain’t moving at 20%. Not sure I’d pick up at 50%. Still no meat on that bone.

Friends, Seinfeld, Big Bang - those are all Ideas sets. ***** Eye’s licensing arm approached LEGO about creating the set.

QE is a netflix intellectual property, same as Stranger things.  maybe we will have a "Netflix" theme eventually.

Hmmm...Seinfeld, Friends, Big Bang Theory, QE

The above post has nothing to do with the content of the QE show, just that I would never put it in the same category as those other shows based on their level of success.

I've seen these, but they are all missing the crane arm.

Nah.  Have you seen how they work?  You Tube it.  They seem to be at many airports throughout the World.

[Alpinemaps]

Did not buy the Ahsoka, French Bulldog, or Lion Dance Guy BHz because they are delayed to LEGO. Not just online, but also in store. Didn’t buy the new Hotel modular, but I do like it in person.
