Big Cam Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 This was actually over the weekend, and the falcon came in the mail, but around $250 later. Brickworld has this "must buy lots of LEGO" effect on me it seems (probably related to the much better prices here in the US compared to at home in Norway) So I've bought.. 4181 Isla de Muerta 4191 Captain's Cabin 4192 Fountain of Youth 4194 Whitecap Bay (in grab-bags for 16 USD ) 4840 The Burrow 7066 Earth Defense HQ (in grab-bags for 16 USD ) 7189 Mill Village Raid 7306 Golden Staff Guardians 7307 Flying Mummy Attack 7570 Ostrich Race x 2, on clearance at Target 7984 Deep Sea Raider 10211 Grand Emporium 10218 Pet Shop 10129 Maersk Train Various stuff from Pick-a-Brick, in part to get a proper cup for drinking beer. various Brickarms and Brickforge stuff, and a t-shirt from brickshirts.com. And I think that's all. Wait, so you got Whitecap Bay for $16???? With box and all?? IF so, OMFG, I'm jealous. Quote
nfl_solo Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) Let's see, what did I buy at Brickworld. [*]Idea Book 6000, Legoland That made the total weight of my suitcase 52 pounds. Luckily Continental Airlines didn't charge me an additional fee for overweight. That is a great find, where did you get the Idea Book 6000? Was it a vendor at the Brickworld show? I picked up the following at Brickworld.... 1 PaB cup filled with Dark Red 1x2 Brick 1 PaB cup filled with Dark Tan 1x2 and Dark Tan 2x2 tile 3 of the Heroica Sets 1 Pet Shop 1 Diagon Alley 1 Fire Brigade 1 Emerald night 1 Falling Water 1 Alien Conquest Earth Defense HQ 1 Alien Conquest Alien Striker 1 Master Builder Academy 1 Series 4 minifig 1 Log Cabin for parts draft 1 Harry Potter Forbidden Forest 1 Brick Calendar Edited June 23, 2011 by nfl_solo Quote

Big Cam Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Where'd you get the MF? They're finally out in the States...what state are you in? Oh no, the falcon is from 2009, they were in stores almost two years ago. You certainly won't find one in a store now. I bought mine here on Eurobricks from another member. It just happened to show up this weekend, when I also bought all the pictured PotC sets. Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Came back from my family reunion on Eagle Cove, Dale Hollow Lake, TN to find that the bids I left on eBay won me 3 MISB 7638 Tow Trucks for $10 each +$6 shipping, another 7936 for a grand total of $19.99, and a lot of 1980's race ways including 6395, 6381, 6503, and 1497 for $59.99 + $8 shipping. Really excited to finally get the Victory Lap Speedway Quote
Vincent Kessels Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 O That is a great find, where did you get the Idea Book 6000? Was it a vendor at the Brickworld show? Yep, a vendor at Brickworld had it for $15 complete with all the stickers. It is the best idea book LEGO ever made. Quote
nfl_solo Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 O Yep, a vendor at Brickworld had it for $15 complete with all the stickers. It is the best idea book LEGO ever made. Very cool! That was my favorite once when I was a child. I really looked how the book told a story. Quote
KartoffelViking Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) It's "that time" of the year here in Australia when the department store chains start having their mid-year toy sales. I popped by my local Myer department store today to get the Atlantis board game, and came out with the game, Millennium Falcon and Tower Bridge And next week Kmart, Target and Big W (who will stock the UCS Imperial Shuttle) start their sales...

Quarryman Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Wait, so you got Whitecap Bay for $16???? With box and all?? IF so, OMFG, I'm jealous. "In grab-bags" kinda implies that there was no box. But seeing as a box would have had to go to get it back home anyway it's no bother. Besides, I don't care about boxes, they take up too much space and serve no function. Quote
gotoAndLego Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Damaged box Death Star playset for 360 and damaged box Pet Shop for 120. Quote

Ratshot Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Yesterday I purchased $65 worth of BrickArms. There was a new brand of custom guns that was for sale on BrickRepublic, I bought a couple of those to. Quote
Gryphon Ink Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Got Mill Village Raid. It's beautiful! TRU are having this weird "buy 2, get 1 90% sale", so zee kid got an Alien Defender and I picked up a 5929 Castle Bricks and More set for the arches and doors. Quote

Capt. Bluebeard Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Using my birthday money, I bought 6900 Cyber Saucer and 6915 Warp Wing Fighter, costing £31 altogether(inc. postage). Not a bad deal. I've also got my eye on a bunch of Ice Planet stuff... Bluebeard, out- Quote

I've also got my eye on a bunch of Ice Planet stuff... Bluebeard, out- I always loved the Warp Wing Fighter. I refer to that as "LEGO's first x-wing". Liked it so much when it came out, I bought four of them. Quote
iElkie Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Decided to check out two flea markets today... Practically no Lego available, but I did find a MISB 2870 Paradisa Barbeque for USD 0.70 A tiny treasure that made me very happy Quote

LEGO Guy Bri Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Today was purchased a 7936 Level Crossing Quote
Gregorovich Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 I went to Argos to get Isla de la Muerta, but they had none in stock. They also had no Captain's Cabins, and they haven't got the Forbidden Forest in yet, either. I went to Asda, though, and they had Captain's Cabin on the shelf so I picked one up. I was surprised at how tiny the box was, it was about as small as an impulse set! But that doesn't matter too much. I plan to get either the Forbidden Forest or Isla de la Muerta sometime soon. Decided to check out two flea markets today... Practically no Lego available, but I did find a MISB 2870 Paradisa Barbeque for USD 0.70 A tiny treasure that made me very happy That's a pretty nice deal, good for you! I wish I could find great little offers like that. Quote
