Your Best Technic Bargains

[Beard]

I just picked up the 8070 Super Car in an excellent condition, with manuals, for 70 Eur. Happy!

A couple of months ago I bought a 8366 Supersonic RC MISB for 180 euros, 30-40 euros less than a cheap used one, and with no shipping costs: the seller lived a few kilometers away from me, so I drove to him and picked it by person. Great deal!

I just got a 42000 F1 car for 65 dollars. Not bad

So... I was wondering since I am coming out of my dark ages and purchasing Technic to replenish my supplies, I recently bought the following lot on eBay for 200 Euro and this is what is looked like when it arrived:

(sorry for the phone pics :-p )

And then after a few days of going though all the instruction books and re-attaching pieces, they all look like this:

Needless so say, all models pictured (except a few Town theme models) have their instructions and are in fully working order. Almost all are 100% complete and a few are missing just a little. (i.e. the Air Tech's smoke stacks and horns). The Red Bird Team plane is on its way (the seller forgot to send it).

Bottom line.....did I get too zealous or is was this a good deal to up the stocks of parts for MOC-ing? (I already have a few studless sets). Thanks!

Out of impulse I checked the Polish eBay-like site to look for 42040 (Fire Plane) I wanted for a long time. I found one for $38/£26/33€ and bough it immediately - never saw it cheaper in Poland. It was with a discount because the box was damaged; contents were pristine and not tampered with. Quite cool bargain for me, still waiting for the bargain of my life, though

Brand new 42043 for £110.

I've just spent £120 on mine, and I was quite pleased with that!

I'm as pleased for you as I am disappointed in myself ...

How/where? Ebay or local marketplace?

[DoomedACE]

How/where? Ebay or local marketplace?

Vienna, Austria. A larger supermarket chain had a discount weekend (20 % off on all toys with free delivery above € 100,-). they do this 3 to 4 times a year...

Their prices on Lego are quite competitive even without discounts....

[Mega-l0-maan]

Amazing prices indeed, thanks for clearing that up ;). I'm waiting for a good price on the Volvo set before it goes OOP.

[Richard Dower]

Same here... Waiting for 43030 to go down in price....

[Gnac]

I recently managed to buy two blue pneumatic air tanks for £6.50 each; can't wait to get them so I can suss out how to they'll fit into my 42043. Speaking of which... a while back I got one of the small pneumatic cylinders from that set for only 99p(!) No idea how it went un-noticed with no other bidders. There's also a complete pack of hoses for £10 - not a braggable price, but worth it for their essential utility.

So much squeezy pumpin' fun ahead, awww yeah.
