Heppeng Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Unfortunately not, in the small print in the order they have the usual get out clause of price/availability etc being subject to change. You only have that right to make them honour that price if you have already had your payment accepted and thus entered in to a contract, which I have not yet because the payment line is not open until tomorrow. If it does not get flagged up as an error and they do accept my payment however then it is legally binding...
Heppeng Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Phoned them up, and was told the track was out of stock, but if I leave the order open and call back in a week they should have some more. I do wonder if that is their default answer and what they will tell me next week!
Dharkan Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 If you didn't pay then you might aswell just cancel your order, no point of waiting.
Heppeng Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 I would have thought that the chance of getting 200 track pieces for £10 would create a pretty strong point of waiting, even if the chance is pretty small. Besides I am not in so much of a hurry that an extra week is a problem, and also curious to see what will happen!
emilstorm Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 I don't know the UK law regarding this, only Danish, but if you have received an invoice or order confirmation it is legally binding. At least in DK
Transparency for Effect Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Got the robot DJ and hooded Wildstyle for $3. Ooh, from where?
TheLazyChicken Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Ooh, from where? I got it from a friend at work. The head is a little scratched up but I can buy a replacement.
Sir Brickalot Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Overborg Attack for half price in Sainsbury's!
miles teg Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I don't know if this is classed as a lucky find, but I picked up 7965 Millenium Falcon and 8097 Slave 1 for £70 on eBay yesterday. No minifigs but I reckon it was a very good deal even without. I basically got a half price Falcon (soon to be discontinued) and had a free Slave 1 (discontinued?) thrown in ! I'm going to source Bossk, Carbonite Han, Vader, Luke and Leia from bricklink as I already have new Boba, Han and Obi Wan. I'm doubly pleased as I was about to buy the Falcon New and that would've cost me almost twice what I paid for the two ships.
TheLegoDr Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 ^I also found a MF brand new for $70 on clearance at Wal-Mart a few years ago. Then I found Slave I used from Craigslist for $35. But mine had the figures. But make sure you get the updated versions to match. There is a new Vader this summer, so keep that in mind.
miles teg Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Nice. We don't often get any decent sales on star wars Lego here in the UK. The best I can hope for In my area is 20% off a few battlepacks, and large sets on ebay UK are usualy snapped up, or run to ridiculous prices. so I consider myself lucky to have found 3 decent sets in one sitting for a half way respectable price. The only minifigures that I actually really really want are Bossk and Vader....Bossk has always been one of my favourite OT characters. Even when I was little I prized my kenner toy Bossk action figure!
8BrickMario Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 I found a lone Attack of the Wargs at a TRU today. Very pleased with it, especially since it's been discontinued for a while!
Heppeng Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Update. Lego track came back in stock on Monday and my order has been paid for and proceesed. It sold out rather rapidly (I wonder why??!!)because by the afternoon it was shown out of stock again. Back in stock yesterday, still at 5p each. Price revised this morning to 95p, which is still much cheaper than the £1.67 price it was sold at before June 1st, and still cheaper than Bricklink/Ebay, especially when you consider the flat rate postage of £2. If you are interested the part id is 6070018 from Bricks and pieces.
legobuttersstotch777 Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 I found a lot of lego for 15 bucks which contained most of the pieces to 497 Galaxy Explorer I then ordered the missing pieces and completed it because i always wanted the set might sell it though for a good profit
Boettner Builds Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 So I stopped by my local K-Mart and found they had this on clearance : http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Cargo-Train-7939?fromListing=listing for $135.00. Not a bad deal and I have been wanting to get into LEGO trains for years now. So I walk it to the front register, they scaned it and the lady says to me : "Wow! you just saved a $100 on this set." So, I'm like "cool!" Then I checked my reciept with I got into my car. It must have been marked down more in the computer. This $180 train set cost me... $35.00!!! YES, $35.00!!!! I am a happy boy!
legobuttersstotch777 Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Dude freakin sweet I still don't own any train sets are they interesting?

Lego Otaku Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Had a good find today! Came across a garage sale that was a bit messy, like they didn't plan on it but started selling just because it was nice outside. I did find a few interesting items but what I found weren't part of the sale originally. I spotted a couple yellow LEGO boxes off to the side and when I asked, they said they hadn't gotten that far in cleaning and setting up but I was told to go ahead if I wanted to. I pulled out a box + manual of: * 6071-1 (Inv) Forestmen's Crossing 184 Parts, 5 Minifigs, 1990 Sets: Castle: Forestmen * 6048-1 (Inv) Majisto's Magical Workshop 175 Parts, 2 Minifigs, 1993 Sets: Castle: Dragon Knights box only set of * 6054-1 (Inv) Forestmen's Hideout 191 Parts, 2 Minifigs, 1988 Sets: Castle: Forestmen and a few extra pieces including partial fire place that I recognized as from * 6040-1 (Inv) Blacksmith Shop 83 Parts, 2 Minifigs, 1984 Sets: Castle: Lion Knights No box or manual for that one but I was able to complete it from the mess of LEGO I found. The other 3 sets were missing a few pieces. Totaling about $10 to replace all the little missing pieces plus an expensive $20 printed baseplate and $20 female forestwoman. (ouch) I also found another LEGO set in box but I haven't tried to ID it yet, not pictured were a couple fluffy mouse nests (threw em out), probably winter home. Missing one blue seat and a couple pieces and it needs serious car washing before I'd try to take it out of that box. Filthy as heck. Mice have been sleeping in there for a few years.
elleana Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) Eww, but looks like 8865, just missing the seats. Edited June 25, 2014 by elleana
Heppeng Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Are you saying you got the track for 5p each, or 95p each? 5p each!
Heppeng Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Dude freakin sweet I still don't own any train sets are they interesting? You bet! I think 'adictive' might be a better choice of words, and with the new sets introduced and the old ones still available, there is a great choice right now.
Boettner Builds Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 You bet! I think 'adictive' might be a better choice of words, and with the new sets introduced and the old ones still available, there is a great choice right now. The only things that have been stopping me all of these years has been space and cost. For $35, I blew cost right out of the water! I still don't have the space for it though...
HenrikLego Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Just made an awesome deal: 8110 8043 8053 8258 8265 for 250 USD.
