TheLegoDr Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 I picked up the T-Rex Hunter set from Craigslist the other day. It retailed at $70 and I got it for $30. I missed out on that whole line last year so I was excited to get it. And since the T-Rex goes for almost $30 by itself, I thought it was a steal. With that said, it came pre-built so I didn't have to put it together, which was odd. I normally have a ziploc bag full of pieces and the instructions. But as far as I can tell, that is one of the worst designed LEGO sets I have dealt with. The top rotors and the engine hull seem to want to fall off whenever I pick it up. The black arms on the dino grabber seem to pop off just by looking at them. Not sure how the designers got away with this one, but not the best set. But the Dino looks great by itself. Granted, his body parts come off quite easily also. Maybe I just got a defective set, like I said, it was on Craigslist. But not the best set there is. But I can't argue about the price. Quote

Good score, that set was up on Craigslist forever, I wondered when somebody would pull the trigger. With Walmart having their clearances start here, I picked up Unexpected Gathering $49 Forest Police Station $54 (4) Uruk Hai Army $21 Batwing over Gotham $25 Millennium Falcon $99 TIE Fighter $35 Seaside House $35 Cavalry Builder $13(retail, but they are pretty nonexistent around here) more Series 10 army builders Quote
LiamM32 Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Last weekend, I visited the Vancouver Lego store to spend the most money that I have ever spent on Lego in a day. Most of the money was for 10211 Grand Emporium, which I decided on with the help from other users in the "What should I buy?" topic in the choice of 4 large sets. I also threw in a Summer Scene polybag, and 2 series 10 minifigs (Librarian & Warrior Woman). At the checkout, I asked if they were still doing the Hero Factory promotion (which I was expecting). "Yes, but that's just for Hero Factory purchases," he said. Then he reached down to grab a polybag and said "Here, take one. You got a large set,". I typically avoid Hero Factory, but those brains have some appeal to me. I originally wanted it for the HF month contest, but that's over. I have not yet opened the Grand Emporium. I am looking forward to building it. It is my second modular building set after the Pet Shop. Quote
Dazmundo Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Went to Legoland Windsor yesterday so would have been rude not to pick up a box or to. In the sale shop got Friends Advent calendar and a box of bricks for my daughter and a Lego lanyard for me to put my work id badge on. Then in the big shop picked up a couple of drinks bottles for my twin boys and then couldn't resist the delorian for me :-) Quote
lightningtiger Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Some work came in today so I added this to my city collection...... Quote

dj2005 Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 Late last night I ordered 79006 The Council of Elrond for $25.17 and 79002 The Attack of the Wargs for $33.06, making the total $58.23 shipped from Amazon. A decently sized order for me so I should be done buying LEGO for a while. Then again, I always think that and it never proves to be true. Quote
