Vorkosigan Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 My father picked up a pretty incredible garage sale deal for me recently. $5 for a box of mostly Harry Potter LEGO, about 5 lbs worth. There was also 4 instruction manuals in there. I found seven nearly complete sets: Quiditch Match 4737 Knight Bus 4866 Hogwarts 4867 Hagrid's Hut 4738 Beauty Shop 3187 Freeing Dobby 4736 Forbidden Forest 4865 Only one minifigure is missing (a Hagrid), and about 55 pieces but all minor stuff. All the large, cool, unique stuff is there, and in good shape. For $5...

Prairie Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) After a dozen years I got back into LEGO at the beginning of this year and found a ton of Friends sets mostly at 50% clearance, making my late start into the series a bargain (all new unless specified): * 3185 Summer Riding Camp ($125... still much less than it goes for now) * 3315 Olivia's House ($35) * 41000 Water Scooter Fun ($1.50) * 41001 Mia's Magic Tricks ($5) * 41005 Hearlake High ($25) * 41007 Heartlake Pet Salon ($13) * 41013 Emma's Sports Car ($7) * 41015 Dolphin Cruiser ($35) * 41028 Emma's Lifeguard Post ($5) * 41030 Olivia's Ice Cream Bike ($5) * 41034 Summer Caravan ($15) * 41035 Heartlake Juice Bar ($15) * 41036 Jungle Bridge Rescue ($15) * 41039 Sunshine Ranch ($40) * 41050 Ariel's Amazing Treasures ($5) * 41051 Merida's Highland Games ($9) * 41052 Ariel's Magical Kiss ($15) * 41053 Cinderella's Dream Carriage ($15) * 41056 Heartlake News Van ($13) * 41075 Elves Treetop Hideaway ($35) * 41094 Heartlake Lighthouse ($26) * 41095 Emma's House ($50) * 41097 Heartlake Hot Air Balloon ($20) * 70816 Benny's Spaceship ($50) * 10228 Haunted House ($140 used complete w/ box and instructions) * 10662 Creative Bucket 600 pieces ($15) * 31018 Highway Cruiser ($5) * 60036 Arctic Base Camp ($45) I've sadly had to lower the bar because it seems that this was just some great luck. I'm still holding out for the new Friends sets to displace many current ones and send them to clearance. Edited June 13, 2015 by prairie
obsidianheart Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 I picked up 70728 for half off yesterday. Not as impressive as some of the other deals in this thread, but I'll take what I can get.
HenrikLego Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) I have had a few lucky finds lately. About a month ago I found 7725 Electric Passenger Train for about $60. A few missing parts, but with replacement parts it will be complete at about $80 total. Yesterday I found 7740 Inter-City Passenger Train for about $130. Only missing the box.

Zodack Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 I've had the LEGO Cloud City set sitting on a table in my room for twelve years complete with all minifigs and never knew what it was worth. So that's a pretty great find I'd say, haha.
samurai-turtle Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 I found a 70126 Crocodile Legend Beast for $0.03. That right new for three cents at "Toy R Us" of all places. When I took it cash register the guy told me. It probably was a for a promo and it shouldn't of been out. But it was their mistake and he let me buy it any ways. I did mention to him when I check it on the price scanner I thought the price might of been wrong. I also think it help that I bought a "Spectacular Spider-Man: Complete First Season" on DVD at the same time. (I wished they put out a complete "second/rest" season for that series on DVD.)
Iria Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Finally got myself a lucky find. Local man was selling Prince of Persia: Battle of Alamut. It's a little dusty but it looks complete, and came with instruction manuals as well as extra pieces. He even through in a Desert Attack set because he said some pieces were missing, so he didn't think he would be able to sell it (Looked like it is just missing a few gemstones and the original head of the skeleton. I paid 50$ for it. The two sets would have cost 140$ back when new in the store. Overall I'm pleased, since I seem to never find the deals and the palace looks pretty cool. 7537: Battle of Alamut 7569: Desert Attack
Prairie Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 I took the risk of buying nine current mid-sized sets from someone on Craigslist offering them new sealed at half price, even though I was wary of the whole thing. Opened sets in front of seller and they checked out and seller wasn't bothered by verifying. Planning next buy. This is going to make me broke. I still have not fully accepted that this really happened.
Zodack Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 There's a local seller on craiglist selling the AT-AT Walker and the Imperial Transport for $50 each, which is half of their retail. I think if I had more money I would jump on those.
The Real Walkers Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 I may have just ordered a lonely mountain set brand new, free P&P, from eBay for £37.... it seems too good to be true but will keep you all posted!!
Robianco Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 I may have just ordered a lonely mountain set brand new, free P&P, from eBay for £37.... it seems too good to be true but will keep you all posted!! Well the seller has decent feedback but I'm always wary of someone selling multiple copies of sealed set so cheap. Even if you get the item I wouldn't be too surprised if someone else has paid full amount for it somewhere else especially if this set arrives to you direct from Lego or another retail vendor.

Alas, apparently it was a computer hack! Shame, I might have to pay the regular amount! Disgusting...

P3_Super_Bee Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Bargain Hunt strikes again... 41058 Friends - Heartlake Shopping Mall Lego.com: $109.99 Bargain Hunt: $59.00 60036 City - Arctic Base Camp, Lego.com: $89.99 Bargain Hunt: $59.00 Part of the fun for me here is sometimes the box is open... The Arctic Base camp was that way when I opened it. There wasn't a Bag 2 and Bag 4 was open. There were a bunch of pieces floating loose in the box. after the build, I was missing 1 piece, and had another was damaged. I was able to use it. Though I did order the both on Lego.com in the missing piece section.
Prune Face Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 My (NW Indiana) Meijer had Simpsons CMF for BOGO50, effectively 25% off.
Kamil Z Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 Found this at Goodwill yesterday for four dollars: A incomplete NXT 2.0 that had al the sensors and wires tough
Deathleech Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 I guess this qualifies as a lucky Lego find. A few weeks ago I bought a lot on eBay of assorted bigfigs and creatures. The auction didn't even have everything listed. I mainly bought it for the 2 Goblin Kings and the 2 Cave Trolls. It also inclluded: 3 Rancors 3 Wampas 4 Tan Trolls 2 Mars Mission Commanders 1 new Jabba 1 old Jabba 1 Rotta the Hutt 1 Hulk in tan pants 1 Green Goblin 1 Tauntaun 1 Fawkes Phoenix All for $130. Most of it was new and still in sealed bags. I estimate its worth at about $300.
Darkoil Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 I got the Cloud City Lando Figure Plus others for 20 quid. I noticed the seller had split up cloud city and was selling 200g of lego for a couple of pound a time, what a waste. He had already sold most of it or else I would of bought it. Lucky whoever bought Boba Fett.
Prairie Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 I recently found 10193 Medieval Market Village, 10199 Winter Village Toy Shop, and 10216 Winter Village Bakery for $75 off Craigslist. Dusty and no minifigures or other small items, just the buildings and a tree (the other tree is actually from a fire plane set). A couple dozen cracked pieces in Medieval Market (including some pricey tan arches) but mostly good. All of them missing a good deal of inside details. I've been wanting 10193 for a while but wasn't willing to pay the $100+ price it goes for used now, so this was great. I love the Tudor style of buildings.
