What did you buy today?

Inconspicuous · November 26, 2009

My parents would never let me meet up with strangers to buy things from them.
Anyways, will we be seeing a review soon?

EDIT: According to BrickLink, 4728 with a box is about $60 USD!

-SNIP-

Yes, my parents drive me. I can get a sense of how the people are by email. I've avoided deals that seem too good to be true because of the people I have to deal with. Unfortunately, I will most likely not review this set, but if Brickshelf gets up soon and I can complete my

3450

review, than I will do this over the holidays. I actually bought this for reselling purposes, so I do know what it's worth. However, if I don't get to adding this to my store soon, than I will do a review.

I picked up 30008 Snowman and 30009 Christmas Tree (the Creator polybags) for $3.49 USD at Toys 'R' Us today.

How is 30008? It was something I was looking at.

Sorry, for getting off topic. :blush:

Okay, hopefully you won't have that much extra time to put it on your store. :tongue:

It's pretty good! You get 6 new white 1 x 1 bricks with a stud on one side, and some useful pieces like the lifting ring. You also get white and red cheese slopes.

Unfortunately the back is completely flat, but I think that the front details make up for that. :wink:

I won't be able to make a review of it until I become a teacher, and I can sense that that's going to take quite a while. :grin:

I just placed two brickLink orders, including new 2010 minifigure parts! :sweet:

Excellent! :grin:

**Dfenz** · November 26, 2009

Just back from Munich and the Lego store at Reim Arcaden had large bags of loose bricks for €15.99. Also there were minifig bags for €4.99 which when I returned home I discovered contained 15 torsos and heads plus lots of legs, tools, utensils, hats etc. The store also was giving out the xmas PAB boxes for every €75 spent (fillable after xmas)

My Ultimate Black Friday plan worked out! I got a Death Star, three Winter Toy Shops, and a Republic Attack Shuttle, but only 10% off. I also got to meet ILikePi at the store.

Let the building commence!

It was nice to meet you Inky! Have fun with your Death Star (dang it was heavy :tongue:

)!

I purchased one Winter Toy Shop and one The Battle of Endor (my largest purchase to date!). :sweet:

I also got a free PAB box and about 150 points on my new VIP card (now I have 343)!

Unfortunately I also only got 10% off. I think that the scratch cards were rigged. :tongue:

I already built everything in The Battle of Endor except for the bunker. :grin:

The AT-ST is much better, sturdier, and larger than I thought! It uses at least 300 pieces, and clicking the sides into place is very satisfying.

The minifigs are fantastic, especially the Rebel commandos and the Ewoks!

Here's a picture:

Sorry about the bad lighting and the carpet on the sides.

Ratshot · November 28, 2009

I bought my seventh Clone Trooper Battle pack.

3 more to go :tongue:

Oky · November 28, 2009

Only 10% for me as well. :hmpf_bad: I wouldn't be so disappointed if I wouldn't always get that kind of discount anyway due to my Disneyland annual pass, but oh well. I still got a bunch of sets: Solar Sailer, Smach'N'Grab, Magma Mech, Typhoon Sub, and Spongebob Neighbors magnet set. Plus a free PAB box. :thumbup:

Legoman · November 28, 2009

Goodness, this dragon is most definitely jealous right now. A sealed bag of cypress trees, unbelievable. I bet they smell new too... no chew marks, no discolouration...
I recently bought two Indy sets at 50% off, the Fighter Plane Attack, which completes my Indy collection, and a second copy of the Temple of the Crystal Skull, which is a very nice set for parts alone at that price. I also bought the 8016 Hyena Droid Bomber set and the 8015 Assassin Droids Battle Pack, both at 16% off. Now I'm on the lookout for a nicely-priced Home-One set.

Where was the temple 50% off?

Anyho, I Scavanged 8 of my MISB Stormtrooper BP's for the Stormies.... 24 stormies :sweet:

:tongue:

Me too. :sad: I did a little holiday shopping. My brother will be very happy. :sweet: I also got 8060 Typhoon Turbo Sub and 8058 Guardian of the Deep for myself. The Atlantians are sweet. :sweet:

Yesterday I went to kmart and got tower raid :knight: , sports car and that 10 dollar pirate set that has the weird colored bricks.

**Etzel** · November 28, 2009

...and that 10 dollar pirate set that has the weird colored bricks.

:wacko: What weird coloured bricks? Do you mean the dark red octopus in 6240 Kraken Attackin'?

brickme · November 28, 2009

**Etzel** · November 29, 2009

I guess I of anyone should have thought of that one! :laugh:

Destroydacre · November 29, 2009

I finally got around to purchasing a 10178 Motorized AT-AT figuring it's a set that won't be around much longer. I'm pretty interested to see how well it actually walks and it was the last set I needed to round off my Hoth collection, at least until the battle packs are released.

Luke McAwesome · November 29, 2009

Just bought 6521 Emergency Repair Truck.

It even comes with the original box! :sweet:

JCC1004 · November 29, 2009

K-3PO! :wub:

legotrainfan · November 29, 2009

Today I won an auction on eBay. It's set 10025, a Santa Fe waggon. The set is brand new, MISB. I got it for 68 euro. That's cheap compared to the prices for which it is offered on bricklink.
