What did you buy today?

[simonwillems]

I bought 5 collectible minfigures of the second series yesterday. Farao, explorer, cop, circus guy with wip and the most beautiful of all: the Mexican.

3221 City truck

Was meant to be going to an auction to bid on a load of classic space Lego, thought they'd get through maybe 100 lots an hour. Arrived an hour & a half after the auction began only to hear "Lot 233 then..." as I walked through the door! Ahhhh f***!!!! The lots I wanted were 205-211! So turned around & walked back out! Bought the above set at Tesco on the way home!

I got lucky this weekend at Brickfair and got these for 50% at the Running of the Bulls hosted at the LEGO store.

I just bought a big pile of white bricks in all kinds for my next project.

Hi,

A couple of new sets for me last night:

I like 8048 a lot and had managed to put PFs inside. (OK, battery box was more outside as a back pack, but it worked.)

Thanks for that, when I get some PF gear I might look at trying that.

On the weekend I was in the states and I bought Prison Tower Rescue and Outpost Attack for $70, $30 cheaper than in Canada. I also got two green 32x32's for $5 each.

Ordered #7848 from toysrus.ca yesterday. Now the long wait for delivery...

[RocketClone]

I ordered 3x Kingdoms outpost attack, thinking of merging them to make a MOC.

[Brick & Mortimer]

Went to a different toy store than usual and to my surprise they had the Collectible Minifigs Series 2!

Didn't have the barcode sheet with me, so after a careful (and time-consuming ) examination of small, medium and fat black bars in a random order I managed to get the complete series 2 !

The salesgirl was so helpful (she quietly let me choose from the box at the closed cash register).

She deserves a raise!

I !!!

I might get a few extra of him

Toys R Us Truck!

Looking forward to building it tomorrow.

One more BL order.

I'll edit the post when the parts arrive to add some pictures!

Okay, so that wasn't as long as I expected...simply because TRU Canada switched from Canada Post to Purolator. LOL

Of course though, "Murphy" had to bite me on the butt...starting TOMORROW, all 'City' is 20% off. *sigh*

[Quarryman]

Pay-day and 70% off closing sale isn't a good combination (or an excellent combination depending on how you look at it )

What was left of LEGO in the toystore was pretty crap though, but ending up dragging home two 8039 Venator cruisers, one 8075 Neptune Carrier, one 8061 Gateway of the Squid, and one 8015 Assasin Droids battleback.

I just paid my 7th Bricklink order of August (and actually, my 7th order this whole year). When you count the seven up I come close to a beautiful Green Grocer, afterwards I almost regret it. But: my project will finally (!) be finished then and when I think of it, it looks so expensive because I've ordered it all in one month (as I would normally have ordered the parts throughout this year). And half of the ordered parts are for other projects I'll certainly do and I'll need them anyway, so why wait to order them.

Wow... I know where you're coming from. I have three open bricklink orders, so in response to the thread subject:

1450 pieces in 43 lots in 3 orders.

As I'm building I'm deciding to use different pieces, or constructing new parts to my modular castle where I discover I want something I don't have... so I've been going order crazy.

I've decided to put a moratorium on ordering and just build as much as I can so I can make one cohesive list of what I need to finish and get it all in one shot so I don't get slaughtered on shipping charges with a bunch of small orders... so what I've been doing is ordering the pieces I needed at the moment, and bulking the orders up with pieces I tend to find useful and other pieces that I have long term plans for... but I'd rather just have one decent sized order for what I'm working on now.

I may end up ordering PAB online at the local LEGO store... more expensive (*), but all new pieces and no shipping when ordered from the store, plus the rewards card (for which I have a whopping $10 waiting to be splurged!).

(*) - I've discovered that in some cases, PAB is better priced, especially when you need a large number of certain pieces that are only cheap on BL in stores with a very small number.

Today I picked up the 5892 Creator set. The one with the red&white fighter plane.

Built it right away. I really like the sleekness of it. And the working landing gear and the light-up engines are my favourite features

Atlantis Portal Emperor keyring and the Classic Pink Fairy keyring. I removed the rings off of both. The Portal Emperor was fine but I couldn't remove the Fairy's head to cut the rest of the bolt off.

Well not today but a few days ago I bought Cad Banes Speeder. Really terrific set and I bought it cheaper than what its meant to be which is fantastic!

[Plastemaurer]

Today I purchased 7197 "Venice Canal Chase", 8396 "Soldier's Arsenal" and 8397 "Pirate Survival" at a local TRU. The two Pirates sets (8396, 8397) will most likely go to my slowly growing MISB collection.

A few days ago bought a 3179, wonderful set, but minifiga not very suitable...
