What Lego set did you NOT buy today?

I skipped on the lawnmower polybag at TRU.

Around holiday season last year, before christmas and after thanksgiving, I was browsing the dealnews app on my phone and saw a 20% off at some store, I don't remmeber which one now. I was debating for a little if i want to get the super star destroyer because i thought it was 'too expensive'. Soon enough that deal was gone and I was kicking myself on the nuts.

LEGO SW Zip-Bins. 50% off at a Target I visited. Going to wait for a steeper discount than 50% off, since there were at leats 10.

Well  posted in the bought today thread I got a Hogwarts Castle for $169. Seller backed out, so now I didn't.

Dat sux dude. I dunno though, i saw it right after you bought it and i wasn't impressed. No pic of the actual set and no description at all... Probably worth the risk but I might have passed on it.

Either way I hope the seller enjoys eating a $16 fee for nothing...

Ebay will probably give it back to him.

 

Yeah I figured with Buyer protection I was good since there wasn't a description. If it had come complete and in good condition, would have made $50 or so off of it.

You are very flexible.

I didn't buy a modular today because the lego store wouldn't honor my coupon. I was not happy. Eventually I know I'll find what I want on sale or on ebay. In the meantime, TLG can sit in time out and think about what they did.

Fire Brigade as every man and his dog appears to have millions of them.

Today I did not buy some Series 3 SW Planets at Target for 10% off. Some Chima Speedorz from Kmart at 50% off, and a Z-95 Headhunter at 30% off at Walmart.

I have a $10 off $50 purchase coupon for Toys R Us that expires 10/26.  I've went in multiple times this week hoping I could find something to use it on and push me over $60 to get Bricktober Minifig pack 3/3.  I still couldn't bring myself to pair it with their inflated prices.  I also have $75 in gift cards and rewards I need to use, but I'll save them for another sale.

[Anakinisvader]

I didn't buy any LOTR or Hobbit because they are STILL sitting around every walmart  I've been to on clearance.  NOT a good sign.

They are all over the UK too.  Why can't they just die?

[Doofy McGee]

Passed up on a bunch of Star Wars Planets for $7.  Why won't those go away!?!?!?  Lol.

 

Also passed up $35 Wargs, $69 Goblin Kings, and $30 Samurai X.  No good clearance lately.

[Darth_Raichu]

I am on a self imposed LEGO buying diet until I sell most of my stuffs or Black Friday, whichever comes first.  Although the KMart coupon looks very tempting

[sadowsk1]

Skipped on the lone ranger battlepack at under 10.  It's a good value for play but I can't say I really care about the westerns.  I don't think among kids there is a big following either.

My five year old barely knows what a cowboy is... Of course that will change when he's old enough to watch better movies.

I visited the LEGO store at Downtown Disney (or whatever it's called these days) today, and passed on some Goblin Kings for $75, a couple of Unimogs that were marked down 10% because of some slight box damage, and an Arkham Asylum also marked down 10% with some serious crunching of one corner of the box.

Man i have never seen a Lego store mark something down because of box damage.

I have. My local store had the TB & HH at 10% off due to damaged boxes. I bought the TB....... not realising it was available on Amazon at the time. Doh!!

 

They also had more beat up Live Star which was not Marked down, still

Couldn't you return the TB and order from Amazon Italy?

 

I've also noticed that "Live Stars" appear to be in beaten up boxes at quite a few retailers.  I'm thinking that production may have ended on these and there's just a massive amount still on shelves still getting bashed about by customers picking them up and putting it back down again. I ordered one from LEGO Shop at Home and even sent it back as it was bashed to bits.  Since it's been out so long, I'm going to pass on it and get more SSDs instead.

 

I did not really think about it, plus as it was sold damaged, the normal return rules do not apply. And mainly because I did not find out about TB on Amazons until a couple of months later

Passed on Castle/Gatehouse Raid 70402 for $24.99 at a local Target.

Thanks to a stupid customer calling me at just the wrong time, I missed out on a job lot of 24x 40082 Xmas promos that went for the ridiculously low price of
