Re: Steal of a Deal / Recent LEGO Purchases
Not necessary the greatest "Steal of a Deal" per se, but decided to stop by my local LEGO store today to see what sales deals they might have left. After looking around a bit I spotted a LEGO City Fire Truck 7239 (2005) for $18 + tax. Probably the same price as what I could have gotten one for from Bricklink, but at least I saved the cost of shipping (and the cost I paid at the LEGO store was definitely less than what would have paid if I had tried to snag one from eBay). While I was there I also picked up a Winter Village Post Office (10222) that was on sale $56 (20% off) -- Again, not the best deal, but LEGO doesn't normally do much in the way of discounts on the Winter Village sets. Still, 20% discount is better than paying full price.
After X-Mas Clearance Spree
Mill Village Raid - $35 @ Walmart
Series 5 CMFs - $1.50/each @ Walmart (I got 6 evil dwarfs :D )
Imperial V-Wing - 2 @ $9/each @ Walmart
City Police Chase - $12.40 @ Walmart
King's Carriage Ambush - $15 @ Kmart - ordered this with store pick-up.. haven't had a chance to pick it up, hopefully they actually have it.
Atlantis Exploration HQ - 2 at $19/each @ Kmart
I'm still on the hunt for the AC Earth Defense HQ at clearance prices and waiting for the PQ Scorpion Pyramid price to drop but pretty content with my finds. Hopefully it keeps me busy until LOTR comes out in the summer.

I saw an AC Earth Defense at Walmart today for $45.00. I didn't pick it up much as I wanted to because ive already gone thru my clearance budget.
Re: Steal of a Deal / Recent LEGO Purchases

I just got acquired the Taj Mahal for $100usd via craigslist.
Re: Steal of a Deal / Recent LEGO Purchases
Wow... now that is a Steal. Nice pickup
I have mixed feelings about new releases: I can't wait to see and get the new sets... but I can't figure out where I'm gonna put them or store them.

Re: Steal of a Deal / Recent LEGO Purchases
Just bought King's Castle from a local toy store that has a 20% Lego clearance coupon out. Nice deal for $80. Considering this set is appreciating quickly, I'm considering going back to grab the other 3(?) they still have in stock.

I got a lot of 30 sets from the 70s and 80s with all the pieces and boxes for $125 off Craigslist. One of the sets was the yellow castle set. I REALLY LOVE Craigslist!!

Re: Steal of a Deal / Recent LEGO Purchases
It's hit or miss. Mostly miss lately. There was a 100 lbs of LEGO for $200 that I missed out on a few months ago. That still haunts me. There's a lot of LEGO activity in this area - especially among resellers.legohunter wrote: I have never seen a deal as good as yours at my local Craigslist
It's hard to compete against them. :\

Re: Steal of a Deal / Recent LEGO Purchases
What haunts me is that I saw the infamous LEGO Airport Shuttle (monorail) for a whopping $50 on Craigslist! Not only does this come with the monorail set itself, it also came with a fe tubs of sorted LEGO. Unfortunately, I did not act quick enough.littletoki wrote:It's hit or miss. Mostly miss lately.

Re: Steal of a Deal / Recent LEGO Purchases
Picked up a 25+ pound tub of LEGO for $20 at a garage sale this weekend.
Included the following sets...
7723 - Police Seaplane [City] - missing figure
7630 - Front-End Loader [City] - missing figure
7631 - Dump Truck [City] - missing figure
7746 - Single-Drum Roller [City] - missing figure
7685 - Dozer [City] - missing figure
7739 - Coast Guard Patrol Boat & Tower [City] - missing the pier + figures
3221 - LEGO Truck [City]
8291 - Dirt Bike [Technic]
4997 - Transport Ferry [Creator]
4998 - Stegosaurus [Creator]
6754 - Family Home [Creator] - missing over 50% though
7623 - Temple Escape [Indiana Jones]
Plus a box of loose brick from other incomplete sets.
Only bummer is that most of mini-figs were missing and no instruction booklets. Not the best find on this forum but it was my best score so far.

I think that is a pretty good haul, aimlesspursuits! You should be proud of your bloodhound abilities to sniff out a good yardsale. Very Jealous.
