BryBry Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 I don`t know if this should be put here or some where else but, 2 days ago i bought the last Ninjago Warrior bike at my local walmart but when i opened the box i was filled with joy because instead of the Warrior bike i got the Golden Dragon set and part of Cole`s power drill.

Woah, that's unusual! And it's awesome! Congrats!

Was the set sealed? this seems very unusual, given that LEGO apparently weigh every set before they send them out - and that is to make sure a set contains the right amount of pieces so the scales must be very sensitive. It seems unlikely that a box that much heavier than it is supposed to be would slip through their checking process, and I'm also not sure how all of those pieces would fit inside the box properly. Still, if this really happened it's pretty awsome.
Zeya Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) I've been cross-posting all over the place today. :) I re-obtained by childhood Lego collection and made a thread about it. Check it out over here: http://www.eurobrick...6 This is definitely the luckiest find I've ever had. At one point, I thought it had all been lost or given away to younger cousins/nephews/nieces. Edit: Oops, this is buy/sell/trade. This was more of a "found in the attic" sort of thing. Edited January 28, 2013 by Zeya

You should definately do reviews of some of the more interesting sets.
Jareth Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 I had two lucky finds in 2012 First I got a $4 goodwill bag 599 lego...2 dozen megablocks all in poor condition, still, for less than a penny each.... check out that 1x4 brick with circles....I'm still trying to ID it. A coworker also gave me as many of his legos as he could find. Most of them were from my dark ages. OOH! A spiderman, and yellow star wars! There were also eight complete or almost complete sets 2162 Hydro Reef Wrecker 6341 Gas n Go flyer 1786 Jailbreak Joe 1711 Ice Planet Scooter 6879 Blizzard Barron 6076 Dark Dragon's Den 1477 Red race car
rakky Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 I hope you gave your co-worker something in return, as that is worth a lot :)
Legofin2012 Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Found, what I think to be a really good deal, an Imperial v-wing, for 7.95 Euros, or 10.88 $, or 6.86 £!!
CisFran Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) Finally I got my new (to me) set today! Saw it posted from a local online selling forums. The seller was also a former AFOL, He bought it brandnew around US$250 back in year 2000, built it once and never touched it again. I got it for only $80!!!! Current selling price for the same set minus box and manuals and in fair condition is around $200. Really love good deals! This one is minty fresh complete with box, manuals & partially applied stickers. Now on with the pictures The tires Stickers and manuals Edited February 26, 2013 by francisalmario
CisFran Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Got another great deal today! A local shop is selling their toys for 50% off, including Lego Technic! So I grabbed these: 8110 Unimog - $109 each (I bought 2 sets) 9397 Logging truck - $77 each (I bought 2 sets) 9398 4X4 crawler - $109 each 9396 Helicopter - $55 I'm thinking of buying another Unimog and just put the 2 sets to sell later
ToastyLlama Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 I just got set 60004 (the fire station) for 77.99 USD NIB! It was on sale at Amazon, it was the last in stock.
kibosh Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 I scored 3 Quinjet 6869 sets for $24.50 each at my local Walmart.
TheLegoDr Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 kibosh - lucky! The cheapest they were here was above $50. I had no luck finding any clearance at any stores around here.
kibosh Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I still see them on the shelves around here for $50. This was the cheapest I've heard of them. I was shocked when I scanned it.
krystalKING Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Caverns of Nathuz for 8.00, I couldn't believe it, so now board is going farther! I love the western U.S Walmarts, there have bettr sales than home.
Jareth Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Yesteday I picked up 5 harry potter polybags (30111...I think) at target for $1.06 Each They were labeled "as is" but I couldn't find any problems with them. I've also bought damaged boxes from target before and only once was there a defective part. If you see a deal like this at target, I say snap it up!
jamie75 Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Today, via a private seller. I picked up the whole Batman collection from 2006 - 2008 for $1250 US. . I think it was a great deal considering if I bought them from Bricklink, buying them all would have cost me $1841.10 US, plus shipping, so probably about $2000. Some are over seas. That is buying the sets complete with all minifigures. I came out over $700 US ahead. I am working on building them all now and so far, no missing pieces! All minifigs are there!! Jamie
Truckingyoda Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 I had to share/brag about a great find at the local antique mall. Down in the basement in a back corner I came across a bunch of old Lego boxes mark for 3-8$. The best finds in the stash were set 6083 knights tournament in a fairly decent box with all the parts as well as set 6077 knights procession for 3$. I opened the box and there are almost two complete sets inside! Other boxed sets I got ahold of are 6930, 6062, 6928, 517, 310, and then a number of no box first line space sets. The figs are all in mint condition with nice stiff joints. They include 487 the space cruiser and 483 alpha 1rocket base. The translucent bricks are all in incredibly clear shape, no scratches at all. All together I spent 150$ for what could be resold for much much more. The collector in me though is probably gonna proudly display these!
Fugazi Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Nice finds! We have just the thread for this: Lucky LEGO Finds. I will be moving your post in a little while.
TheLegoDr Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Those sound like some great deals! I never seem to find anything LEGO related in antique/thrift stores around here. Granted I don't go looking very often either.
shawn_low Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Hard to find Lego in thrift/antique shops as people seem to know the value of these and would rather post on Gumtree/Craigslist as a bulk lot instead of giving it away!
Bioslayer Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 I also learned that many goodwill type stores trash lego sometimes so it dosent get everywere in the store.
Laylas Daddy Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 I got three Harry Potter 4867 and two 4865 sets at Kmart for $5 each.
sologuy369 Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 I posted this on a billion other places, but still, I found the best clearance ever today at a Target in Pembroke Pines, FL!!! Orc Forge for $18! Weathertop for $21!!! Quinjet for $21!!!!!!!!!! Also found the Uruk-Hai Amry for $21 a couple days ago at another Target. That's cool. Do you know if the sale is nation wide?
just2good Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 That's cool. Do you know if the sale is nation wide? Nah, it was once in a lifetime.
