Dragonator Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 Today I went and paid off my lay-by on some sets, this is what I got: 2x Separatist Spider Droid (7681) 1x Magna Guard Starfighter (7673) 1x V-19 Torrent (7674) 2x Republic Fighter Tank (7679) 1x AT-TE Walker (7675) 1x Sandcrawler(10144) 1x Boeing 787 Dreamliner (10177) Now I'm definitely broke, especially after the last couple of on-line orders I made. These included one to the Little Armoury (I got the first order on their new site!) as well as a couple of Bricklink orders. Well, back to the drawing board I guess! Quote
graham g Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 Just a pair of Racers (4590) that seem to date back a few years. Great pull-back motor action! They had a few Vikings kits that I hadn't seen anywhere else and didn't realise were still generally available. Quote
Zarkan Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 Well, last weekend my family got to spend a couple days at a beachhouse in Massachusets, and on the way home we visited the huge mall in Natic - where I finally got to visit a lego store! I used the opportunity to buy a large Pick A Brick crammed full with stuff for my town and upcoming farm display, as well as the 2005 street sweeper kit. All in all, a wonderful way to end my vacation. Quote

Sandy Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 My Harry Potter set collection grew again with the purchase of 4730 The Chamber of Secrets. Also, to further diversify the Hogwarts students, I recently bought 10067 Mini-Fig Headgear (whopping 50 different hairs and hats included!). Quote

Widdi Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 (edited) Well today: Nothing But yesterday, I found the TECHNIC/Expert Builder Set 8841 (1983): Desert Racer at a flea market Instructions in great shape and in box. Missed five pieces, mostly plates, but easily replaced with the help of my own ca. 80000 piece collection. And besides that NONLEGO stuff: The records Out of the Blue by ELO (1977) and Defenders of the Faith (1984) by Judas priest. Listened to them while doing a review to the 8841 set, today. Fit nicely, since the records were about from the same era like the set. mFg Widdi Edited September 7, 2008 by Widdi Quote
VBBN Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 Republic gunship, cool convertible, and AT-TE. Quote

simonwillems Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 I was fortunate enough to find some really old sets MISB for a bargain today. Via her daughter I got in contact with an old lady that had two sets lying in her attic for many, many years. Through an online Dutch marketplace she offered them: I placed a bid of 60 euros and was happy to hear that I could pick them up today at her house in the middle of nowhere. Here are the sets: both, as said, Mint In Sealed Box. My best find in months! Quote
jamtf Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Did they still have these older sets in the toys'r'us Venlo?Some of them are 6 years old? The first batch was picked up at TRU Arnhem. Venlo does not have a TRU as far as I know. The Hoth Rebel Base and Republic Cruiser were still available at the Arnhem store, although there were not many left. These are from 2007 and becoming hard to find already. The other 2 batches were picked up at a local Top1Toys nearby. I knew they had some old stuff on the shelves but did not buy these sets earlier. With the discount they gave me, I reckoned they were reasonably priced and I decided to buy them all. The Sail Barge is also not that old, I believe it is from 2006 but out of production. They were lucky finds as I remembered they still had these on the shelves when I was there in January. Fortunately, they were still there when I revisited the store this past week. In fact, they still have quite a few older HP sets but also sets from themes such as Aquazone, Aquaraiders, Adventurers (mostly Orient Expedition and Dino Island), Spyrius, Batman, Spiderman, Castle Knights Kingdom I, Studio, Belville, NBA, that kind of stuff. Nothing that's left is very spectacular, especially since I raided the store a year or so back and left with € 1.200 worth of Lego (and I did not get a discount but I was happy that I found all this in a store). I found many older SW sets (including 7171 Mos Espa Pod Race), a few nice HP sets (including 3x Escape from Privet Drive), the largest Ninja set (6093 Flying Ninja Fortress) and many other nice items.

Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 My Collector Premium Edition just arrived today Quote
CF Mitch Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 Today I placed my first order at BL I ordered Bruce Wayne Alfred MF's and those trans-green smiley-heads, called "Joker Bombs" on BL Now I can't wait till they arrive Quote
Fluyt Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 Got some scala/bellvile items today. Some flowers (including 2 butterflies and a ladybug), flowerpot, carrots, and this rare/expensive beauty: Quote
Erdbeereis Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 (edited) A large Bricklink order to finish my Latest MOC, a japanese style garden. Lots of flowers and other plant parts, plus dark bley slopes for rocks. Oh, and 300 Trans-Clear 1x2 plates... Now to patiently wait for it to arrive. Edited September 9, 2008 by Erdbeereis1 Quote
Wilhelm screamer Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 Last night, I nabbed the X-wing, Hoth base, and mini-robot off of S@H. Excitement does not even remotely describe me at the moment. Quote
Freddie Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 Recently bought this year's two advent calendars, plus a pair of 9V train motors at reduced price just over 200 SEK each. Order ended at just over 1000 SEK, including shipping. Quote
Quarryman Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Today I finally got a couple of lots I bought earlier this summer on ebay.co.uk, which I had sent to a guy I know in London (the sellers only wanted to ship inside the UK). Mainly bought them for monorail parts, but it looks like I got an almost complete 6399 Airport Shuttle too. I'm certainly not complaining Quote
Brainbox Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Picked up Vamprah on offer yesterday. Well, it was only £1.99. Quote
