What's your latest acquisition?

[ziljin]

I got

One of my pick a brick orders. I guess this went through faster because there was less pieces. The first order is still in customs. =(. Mostly skeleton bodies and limbs, and 40 gray knight helmets!

[run4sci]

Picked up my second Prison Tower Rescue for $34.98 at Target.

[AwesomeStar]

Just ordered 7950 Knight's Showdown from Shop@Home along with a PAB order to complete the first iteration of my new Kingdoms MOC.

Can't wait for it's arrival. I'm very impressed with Kingdoms as a whole, and I didn't want to break a tenner so I thought I may as well get that small set while I'm at it, seeing as I would most likely get it sooner or later.

-A.S.

EDIT: Expect a review of Knight's Showdown and the Blacksmith Attack set soon.

Got

yesterday.

Ninja ambush

3 Prison Carriage Rescue

2 Escape from Dragon's Prison

[Dazmundo]

I bought a mixed bag of 40 minfigures with accessories for £10, I've not been through it all yet but one of the main reasons for buying it was cos I could see 2 of these in the group

There was also a couple of spare helmets so i'm happy, I'm now in the process of working out what all the other figures are.

Got another Target Practice when I spent $75 at my local LEGO store. I would have preferred to buy a whole bunch of Target Practices for $75, but they won't sell them even though they have a price on the receipt.

Yea! I would have bought so many if they actually sold the set. Well I think the set is 3.99 at Target. That 1.29 price on the receipt is weird.

Goods news everyone, yet

.

This one had

3 Escape from Dragon's Prisons

2 Prison Carriage Rescue.

Making my 5th and final Target Practice. Still waiting on pick a brick orders though.

[L-space]

6918 Blacksmith attack from amazon

Could not wait till august.

I have seen them in quantity on bricklink.

[ziljin]

I have seen them in quantity on bricklink.

but at a markup and in limited quantities for the cheaper prices.

I got

This time a big pick a brick order.

Gray torso humans, pirates, skeletons, and horses. And blue spears. Turns out I don't like them. They are made out of rubber instead of abs plastic. And I find them to be incredibly difficult to get into minifgures hands. Even skeleton hands which are normally looser than human minfiigure hands (in my experience at least) resist the blue spears being clipped in.

And its Mastercard Monday at TRU, so I ordered 7 more Escapes from Dragon's Prsions. Expect that package soon.

I got my first one from bricklink, but they are marked up and I have to pay shipping. I'd much rather pat $3.99 plus tax for as many as I want. But it is what it is and I'm just happy to have a couple... for now.

That's a really good price! Every Target near me is sold out of everything Kingdoms, other than prison carriage rescue on clearance, which I keep buying anyway :).

You ordered SEVEN?!?!

Do you just use the pieces for army builders or do you have a massive fortress also?

Most of the other Kingdoms sets aren't on clearance or went back up to full price in my area (Vancouver WA/Portland OR) and very frustrating that every Target is different!

[ziljin]

I use them as army builders. I did make a moc as did some other people in this thread. I have a decent amount of black pieces from my escape from dragon's prisons, single prison tower rescue and garmadon's fortress. So I hope to make a large black fortress in the future. I definitely have the pieces (at the very least lots of those huge panel pieces should make up for lack of regular bricks) I just need the imagination and motivation.

[Bearded Castle Guy]

Lugbulk order

Got a lot of plants, a number of baseplates and and about 380 or pieces of head gear, oh and a nice amount of copper clip-on axe blades.

Popped in to the local Target, still the same limted number of sets on clearance yet, they ran out of 7949's since my last visit, but there were few left at that point anyways.

[AwesomeStar]

Received my Knight's Showdown in the mail today. Cute little set, and my first Lion Knight! Always a pleasure to get a lovely fig for the first time. The catapult itself works fine, and my Lion Knight's torso was pure white, rather than the pinkish tint I've seen a few members talk about.

Quick question: I also placed a PAB order at the same time, and received confirmation. However, I only received this set and haven't yet received a shipping email from Lego. Is this a normal thing to expect when using PAB (it's my first time...)?

Yes, they always send sets first and PAB later (by about a week or so).

Yep, just got a reply from lego40k saying the same thing (I PM'd him earlier). Well, that gives me something to look forward to then!

Took advantage of the Target sale today and got a handful of 7949 as they are 50% off in my area.

12x 5615 The Knight

8x Crownie minifigs with shield and axe

10x Mounted Knight with full armor and horse barding from 7093 Skeleton Tower

Those prices are pretty good imho (used $144.20 in eBay bucks) and shipping is combined. Cheap 5615's if anyone is interested...I'll get the link up in a sec.

Mounted Knight

5615 The Knight

Crownie

Thanks for the heads up!

Well I ordered 6 of the Mounted Crown Knights (wish it came with horse helmet) and that 1 axeman crown knight since it comes with shield and axe what a bargain!, shield is worth 30-50 cents I think. Too bad he only had 1 left for the sale price. and 8 troll warriors with the copper sword.

How much did you pay in shipping if you don't mind me asking? I was thinking of getting some of the good knight but I was afraid the shipping would be significantly higher since those are in boxes.

Ugh. I think I messed up. I signed up for ebay bucks but that was after I confirmed to purchase them. So I think its not qualifying. =(. Well it says I have earned zero ebaybucks. Could have earned 1.31 ebay bucks! Half a minifigure right there!

Hopefully he has like hundreds of these minifigures. And I will buy some more from him later and maybe pick up some of those 10 minifig lots. I notice those are popular on ebay.

You're welcome. My total was $133.78 before shipping, so I paid $10.42 in shipping. A tad expensive, but I assume that includes insurance and delivery confirmation. The 5615's do NOT come with a box (the only downside imo), but that reduces the shipping cost, so there is a benefit.

The last I checked he had over 400 of the 5615's for sale. Go to it!

What 10 minifig lots are you talking about? I'm curious now.

The best part of my purchase is I paid for it entirely with eBay bucks from last quarter (sold a bunch of stuff, then bought a bunch of stuff on eBay and had over $300 in eBay bucks due to the 10% back special a couple months ago), so actually it was free! Instant army.

Edit: And what did you mean by horse helmet? The mounted knight's horse has barding and armor for its head.

I read the fine print, it says "This figure comes as pictured, without the head armor for the horse."

I had to pay 4.70 shipping. =(. I would have ordered more but low on money have to wait a week or two before ordering again. At least its not as high as the estimated shipping. In the promise to purchase screen the shipping was like 4 something for the mounted knights alone.

Some people sell lots of 10 or so minifigures of various factions, not always with original pieces unfortunately. But here is a example. It's not as cheap as the seller you posted per minifigure. But it does come with a horse and saddle. And 8 Visor helmets I only have 1 of those in silver, so it looks tempting. The swords are Knights Kingdom's instead of Fantasy Era, And they ahve dwarf shields instead of crown knight shields. And the king has a dwarf helmet. And he turned a soldier into a pseudo queen or female warrior. Not so cool. 10 warriors would have been a better value. Some are buy it now, some are bid. Just search 10 castle minifigs and quite a few should show up. I guess some are good prices, and some are bad.

Hm, ebay bucks. Well if I order a lot like tons of those the knights from that seller and some of the 10 minfiig lots I should make a nice amount of ebaybucks. But I think he is the only seller that has cheap minifigures on ebay. The rest are double to triple bricklink prices.

Huh, interesting. If you go to my original link, the mounted knights I purchased have all the pieces pictured. So, he had more knights and horses for the auction you purchased from, but not with the head armor for the horse.

I understand now - I actually did end up winning one of those "10 minifig" auctions a while back - I think it was from that same guy you posted a link to.

You got the ones with horse helmets. =(. I feel slighted now. Well won't stop me from buying more. It's still a bargain. just slightly more expensive than before now.

And I got my

. And it came with a free jet ski.
