InvincibleEagle Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 I found Goblin King Battle at Walmart for $30! That's just three and a half cents per piece! I couldn't resist buying it even tough it's my third one. I bought my first one for about $65 at Target and thought that was a steal, and then I found one at Kmart for $50, which I bought to keep sealed for investment purposes. The catch with this particular set is that it wasn't sealed. There is Lego tape on it, but it barely sticks to box. There's also stuck-on printing from another Lego Hobbit box. That made me suspicious, but it enabled me to look inside the box at the store (remember when all big sets had windows under the box flaps?). I picked out a few sealed bags and determined that it was safe, but I still had my doubts; maybe the Goblin King was missing or something (didn't want to pour it all out in the middle of the isle for obvious reasons). But upon thorough inspection in my car, I happily confirmed its completeness . I'm still not sure what I want to do with it. Since it's not sealed, I probably can't get as much once its rarity increases. I'll probably just keep the parts to myself but sell all the figure minus the goblins. Quote
lord raphael Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 That set is expensive as!And you picked it up for 30$!I myself bought one priced around 100$ plus! Quote
Mr. Cube Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Finally, Gandalf arrived to the Council of Elrond. :) Quote
Blakstone Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 I just traded my Eurobricks Christmas Raffle prize of Star Wars minifigures for Aragorn in the Gondor tabard as well as the three Army of the Dead minifigures. None came with weapons but they were all free. Quote
h22chen Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Ordered another Dol Guldur Ambush, hopefully will get it tomorrow. I am having a Beorn army, lol. Quote
InvincibleEagle Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 I found Dol Guldur Ambush at Target for $14 today. Quote

InvincibleEagle Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 I got a Mirkwood Elf Army at Target for $22.38 and two Lake-town guard polybags at Toys R Us for $5 each. Quote
Mahtion Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 My local toysrus still had Laketown poly bags so I finally went down there and picked up 6 at $5 each (they had about 5 left on pegs after). I thought about picking up a couple sets but the prices were 89.99 for Unexpected Gathering and 69.99 for Lake Town Chase! Checked target.com, they have buy one, get one 30% off select LEGO construction sets.* Quote
Deathleech Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 I got 10 more Uruk-hai in a trade, bought another Shelob Attacks for MSRP (always wanted to get a third but never got around to it..), and 2x Council of Elrond for almost 40% off thanks to Amazon. Quote
SirBlake Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Picked up the Castle gatehouse raid on clearance. I still don't love this theme, but it's not a bad set and the price is right. Quote
h22chen Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Got my 38 Moria Orcs from Bricklink in the mail today. YAY! with my grandfather passing away yesterday, I'll get all the good news I can have. Edited February 14, 2014 by h22chen Quote
InvincibleEagle Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 I bought three Council of Elrond sets for $18.18 each. Every Target near me has stacks of this set and a few others on clearance. I also bought a Weathertop at Toys R Us. Normally about $80 at TRU, it was on clearance for $55 and lego was on sale for $15 off $50 purchases, so I got it for $40. Quote
Moyalmas Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) Damn... i posted some pirates pics here. Sorry guys Edited February 17, 2014 by Moyalmas Quote
Deathleech Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 That's Pirate theme, get that outta here! Just kidding... on a more serious note I always liked the way those ships looked. Very impressive indeed. Quote
InvincibleEagle Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Got my third Weathertop for $40, bringing my Nazgul count to six and giving me a lot of valueable pieces for future castle MOCing. Quote
HawkLord Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Castle Knights Accessory Pack - love it. The printing is just so good... Quote
Kauaijohn Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 I just picked up the Yellow Castle set on eBay. Totally blew my LEGO budget for a little while, but absolutely worth it! Quote
nine09nueve Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 I also bought a Mirkwood Elf Army... (372 promotional packs of the Mirkwood Elf Archer would make up a sizeable army huh?) And like Kauaijohn I too have blown my budget too! Quote
Ki-Adi-Mundi Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Bought another 79006 Council of Elrond. One of the most beautiful sets TLG did ever create in regards of a medieval / fantasy line. I am so sad that the LOTR line got dropped... Quote
