MrTekneex Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 The most powerful bargains so far were the 8258 Crane Truck New for 132 € (3 years ago) & 42009 Mobile Crane New for 145 € (on May of this year), both on eBay. Quote

Appie Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 8461 from Marktplaats for 60 euros. Guy wasn't sure if all pieces were there, but all the good parts are present (and not yellowed) like soft axles, panels, springs and the blue cylinders. 80% of the stickers are pretty messed up, but I didn't buy it for that.

grum64 Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 My Son's just returned from holiday with an 8145 Ferrari 599 and 8653 Enzo (both unboxed but with instructions) for me that he found in a brick-a-brack shop and bought for £40. And to think I'd have been happy with a stick of rock Quote

Oh god, another Marktplaats bargain in this topic. Why am I constantly missing all of them!? I regularly look on there, but I almost never find bargains of the caliber in this topic Quote
taspel Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Was lucky enough to get 2 brand new, MISB, 42025 for 24 Euros each. Very happy with that. Quote
PhyBuilder Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 You know one can't write something like that without details. Quote
taspel Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 You know one can't write something like that without details. hehe sorry. Was just really excited, because in my eyes good deals always happen to other people :) It was a swedish webshop that was celebrating 8 years of operations and it seemed like they were doing some kind of "treasure" hunt on select toys and Lego sets. I was lucky enough to chance upon the 42025 and managed to secure two of them. I was too late for the 42008 (approx 12 Euro) and some other sets that I dont remember. Having recentley bought a 42025 for a more normal price, I now find myself with 3 sets... Which gives me some very interesting options :) Quote
Richard Dower Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 I recently bought 8943 and it was only €50 posted....i needed it for the rare red Technic panels, which this set had 12 of. But even better, when i opened the box i discovered 6 of the bags were never opened!!....one of the bags had 6 of the panels brand spanky new!!, i also bought 7160 for just €25 posted and it was also a great source for rare parts. I troll Ebay for old Racers sets BNIB as they are always a great sourcs for parts, especially the older moulds if you want to build old Technic sets. Quote
Buddha Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 (edited) Got a nice used 8466 with instructions, for €70 incl shipping on Norwegian auction site. Happy for the cheap PP wheels. Edited September 4, 2014 by Buddha Quote
drlmiles Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 I got a #42030 Volvo L350F last week in Smyths in St Helens, UK. The price on the box was £139.99, so I asked an assistant if the price was correct, as it seemed quite low (I had already had a quick check online while in the store, and seen that it was £169.99 on the Smyths web site). He told me it would have been priced correctly, and so I took it to the till, where it rang up the full £169.99. I pointed out that the sticker on the box gave a lower price, so he spoke to someone senior on the shop floor, who then went off for 5 minutes to talk to the manager, then came back and gave it to me at the lower price. There were mutters in the background about a mispriced item... I'm afraid it's back to full price in that shop :-( Quote
S.I Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 Got a box of lego for 31 euros It appears to contain the folloing sets mostly complete, although I am sure there will be a bunch of parts missing since they are all half built and the loose pieces seem to be a pirate boat and an island fortress: 8880, 8836, 8838, 8815 Quote
grum64 Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Just bought a boxed & complete 42009 for £60 + £8 delivery from a free ads website. 2 M motors and a battery box thrown in for good measure. Inside I'm doing cartwheels Quote
Rishab N Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Just bought a boxed & complete 42009 for £60 + £8 delivery from a free ads website. 2 M motors and a battery box thrown in for good measure. Inside I'm doing cartwheels Wow that is quite the bargain. I don't have the patience to hunt for bargains Quote
S.I Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 8455 for 20 euros at the local fleamarket. It looked complete, and I won't even bother counting the pieces at that price. Quote
Rishab N Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 I just found 9396 at about 68 USD. Won't be buying it as I already have one, but if any one else wants to check it out, it looks like a good deal http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lego-Technic-Rescue-Helicopter-Set-Unbuilt-W-Instructions-Complete-FREE-SHIP-/371146824077?pt=Building_Toys_US&hash=item566a13198d Quote
MajklSpajkl Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Was lucky enough to get 2 brand new, MISB, 42025 for 24 Euros each. Very happy with that. Holy cow, that price is just amazingly absurd!!! Congratulations, I must say I envy you ;-) Well, my only good bargain would be getting perfectly good 8366 for 80 euros about a two years ago. Quote
BachAddict Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 Holy cow, that price is just amazingly absurd!!! Congratulations, I must say I envy you ;-) Well, my only good bargain would be getting perfectly good 8366 for 80 euros about a two years ago. That reminds me, almost two years ago I got both 8366 and 8475 for $130 NZ, which is about 81 euros. Only one remote and one antenna between them, and a lot of smaller parts missing (including extra wheels), but the plastic drift wheels were there and everything works! I later built Zblj's RC Tatra with eight 8466 wheels, four RC motors and two RC units Quote
Duky Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) 8043 for 100 Euro, new and sealed! i think i won't open the box for now PS: sealed of course Edited October 10, 2014 by Duky Quote
MajklSpajkl Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 If it is unsealed, then the box is open and you should just open it again ;-) Quote

rollermonkey Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 I have no idea if I'm getting boxes or even instructions, but I am very appreciative of the package out for delivery to me today: 6110 and 8043 for $425, shipped from Europe to the US. Quote
grum64 Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Just bought a 42009 (no box but complete) for £67 inc. delivery. Happy days Quote
Freekysch Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Wow, that is really a good deal ! I bought mine for aprox 110 euro and i thought that was a good deal Quote
grum64 Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) Wow, that is really a good deal ! I bought mine for aprox 110 euro and i thought that was a good deal I've been really lucky with the 42009. Over the last month or so I've bought 3 for under £150. I'd like to have a go at Jurgens Ultimate 42009 one day. It looks like an amazing build. I'll add it to my ever increasing Roundtoit List. Edited October 12, 2014 by grum64 Quote
