Erdbeereis Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 I ordered some pick-a-brick pieces from LEGO S@H, produce and crates for my medium PtV contest entry and then some other pieces, mainly arches. Quote
Dragonator Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 My Castle Advent Calendar has finally arrived. The picture across the windows looks so great that I'll feel bad to ruin it by opening them. ... No matter... Yeah, mine arrived yesterday, and I'm very happy! I personally don't open the flaps, I just slide out the tray and build all the little things in one go. Yeah, I'm not one for waiting till advent. Quote
bamaker Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 Didn't buy today, but my most recent purchases at TRU (about 2 weeks ago) were: 7038 Troll Assault Wagon 7726 Coast Guard Truck with Speed Boat 7739 Coast Guard Patrol Boat and Tower 7773 Tiger Shark Attack 7774 Crab Crusher 7775 Aquabase Invasion ...and just won the following sets off eBay 6107 Recon Ray (I'd hoped to bundle this with a bunch of other Aqua sets the seller had listed, but it turned out this was the only auction of his I won. Oh well). 8801 Knight's Attack Barge 8876 Scorpion Prison Cave I'm pretty tapped out for now, and these will probably close out my LEGO purchases for 2008 (unless I can find the other Aqua Raiders for cheap ).

Dragonator Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 I just received my most recent BrickForge order, and the new colours are awesome! I got a few things including the exclusive Tan Space Marine Armour and various weapons of Protection (that is, in the new trans-blue colour). I'm sure I'll find a use for some magical Dragon Swords.

bamaker Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Well, despite what I wrote two posts above about being done for the year, I just made another purchase. Found a really good deal on another website. A collector was selling some of his 2002-2003 LEGO sets and I picked up the whole lot. 4475 Jabba's Message 4476 Jabba's Prize 4479 TIE Bomber 4480 Jabba's Palace 4500 Rebel Snowspeeder 7113 Tusken Raider Encouter 7119 Twin-Pod Cloud Car 7127 Imperial AT-ST 7139 Ewok Attack 7200 Final Duel I 7201 Final Duel II I was able to get the whole lot for just under $175.00 shipped -- which is only slightly more than the original retail price.

Kliq Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 I was able to get the whole lot for just under $175.00 shipped -- which is only slightly more than the original retail price. Good lord. Nice find! Quote
Lord Of Pies Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 That rather spiffing Droid Gunship! Well I haven't built it yet, but I will do soon. Plus it comes with an extra droid, seeing how the gunship can pilot itself. Quote
Cardinal Brick Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Eight castle battle packs, I've also ordered four copies f 7979 at only a mildy inflated price, I'm glad I paid before the exchange rate got even worse. Quote
Matn Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 Today I bought: 6119 Roof Tiles And also this set, in the King Jouet: 7724 City Advent Calendar Quote
Wout Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 @Wout: no, we bought a "Star Wars-meal" and we were with four. And you got a mini-Tie with a hamburger. I also didn't got a bag at the end, but is was lame. My sister (13 years old), got one: a Meidenmagazine, a free ticket for the train and some promotion leaflets... O, and a cooky (or it was candy) and a little bottle of fruit juice. If I knew that I would have bought also that menu, but I normally don't buy food on Legoworld as it is very expensive (and the snackbar on the trainstation is also good). Any way, I bought last weeks the terriffic Castle adventcalender and yesterday 2x 4916. They were 5 euro and they were now by the Vroom and Dreesman just 50 eurocent that's a steal. Also bought a viking attackwagon with seven vikings just counting up to 37 to attack my crownies. Quote
NewRight Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 (edited) 8396 Soldier's Arsenal (3X) and 8397 Pirate Survival Both great sets. Edited November 15, 2008 by NewRight Quote

Commander Andrew of 501 st Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 (edited) I hit a jackpot today! I had been driving around looking for garage sales and found a box of Bionicles. There were 2 Piraka, 8901 Hakann and 8903 Zaktan. Kalmah, Toa Mahri Jaller,Kirop,Photok, And a Phantoka Pohatu. All for 5 bucks Then went to Target and got an Stormie battle-pack.

dhaas06 Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 Today at Toys R Us I purchased 2009 sets! 6239 Cannon Battle (x2) 7635 4WD with Horse Trailer They also had a variety of other 2009 sets... I just couldn't take it all in . I'm going back tomorrow though: they better get that new pirate ship in soon or I'll explode! (by the way, I would highly recommend Cannon Battle. For $5.99 USD, it's a fantastic set with wonderful new parts.) Quote
Guss Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 6239 Cannon Battle (x2) now I hate you ^^ I bought the 7624 jungle duel and the 7784 batmobile friday ^^ Quote
darkrebellion Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Isn´t exactly what I buy but what I get. I get a lego sign from Wal-Mart today . I get it for free and it includes something about lego star wars so I think it would look cool in my collection room so I will put it there tomorrow . Quote
Sandy Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 I bought the Batman-theme's Harley Quinn minifig from Ebay, and it arrived yesterday. Now my Castle Jester has a rival, and they look so sweet together that I'm going to use them in my Pillage the Village entry. For some reason, I haven't seen any MOCs that use both of the two minifigs together... So now's my chance to make it happen. Quote

Commander Andrew of 501 st Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Woah, that's an awesome steal! I guess your luck was hot that day, huh? Jerky pun Yea it was pretty good of a steal. On topic: I had bought a gudanka for $12 at big lots. I kinda like it *ducks down* Please don't kill me ~Andrew~ Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Yay! My local TRU had just a few, but they were $5.00 (USD). I'm still glad I found them! Quote
Hewman Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 8158 Speed Racer and Snake Oiler set and a big grey baseplate. Quote
Zarkan Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Today, I picked up the lego CITY Police Helicopter. I bought it to replace a crappy hashed-together helicopter that I made for my custom Police Trailer. It's a very nice set, and I'm already planning to do a review. Quote
