What are you buying right now ?

Benny

I'm wanting the Star Wars Ghost and Prototype TIE advanced. If I throw in the Volkswagon camper (which I also want) I'll then have enough vip points for the green lantern/batman set. A trip to the metro centre store may be in order.

piratemania7

Legends BSB and Brick Bounty.

TLG likes the letter B eh?

Prices aren't getting better. The longer you look the higher they will be.

I mostly only collect vintage space sets (Classic, Futuron, Blacktron I, Space Police, Space Police II) but I am interested in getting the Exo-Suit, Ecto-1, and Back to the Future sets soon.

Benny

Had a splurge at the metro centre store yesterday. Picked up The Ghost, the TIE prototype and Ezras speeder bike, all from Star Wars Rebels. As well as the VW Camper van.

So am I! Why sell for £400 today when I can wait and sell for £800 next year. Especially when likeminded buyers are around :wink:

Managed to snag a #70818 Double-Decker Couch at Walmart this past weekend.

Chubbles

Picked up the Winter Village Market and Santa's Workshop today. Going to try and winterize my modular display come the holidays this year.

fenderbender336

I'm hunting down the new Avengers sets, but I'm having no luck. I'm in the US, so if anyone has any leads please PM me. Thanks!

juddtaylor

I just picked up an ecto-1 set, and flying flushers.

I'd LIKE to buy some straight road baseplates, but apparently there are NONE on bricklink in the USA right now :(

monkey

Just ordered Detective Office with a small discount. Really like the colours in this set, and the overall appearance is quite cool!

HangedSanchez

I was trying to cut back on buying any medium/large sets before May 4th weekend, but I accidentally won an #10244 Fairground Mixer on Ebay at 1/3 off inc postage, which I thought was a pretty good deal.

Drmnez

Just got all the Age of Ultron sets at my local TRU

EddieDoesntMind

@Drmnez Pictures possibly?

Jern92

Accidentally won a fundraising auction on the Winter Village Market at slightly below retail. Too late to back out now :-P

B_Holls

Still searching for a #10029 Lunar Lander at a good price, trying to find one of the #76032 Quinjets at a store near me. Other than that there is an odd Classic Soace set here and there possible a #6929

I am not sure what's going on with the pic upload. I'll try again later

Duchessa

I'm trying to complete my old castle collection. Just #1680, #6071, #6079 and #6086 to go...

B_Holls

Loved all the old Castle/Forestmen line in the early 1990s, unfortunate could never get my hands on one.

I guess there are two options: all Avengers Age of Ultron retail sets or the Helicarrier!

ryjay

Really, I'm buying too much.....but mostly Friends & Disney clearance/sale items I find, Kmart and select Walmarts are great for this. Also, modulars from the Lego store and Star Wars UCS.

We used to go nuts on the minifigures, but not anymore...waaayyyy too many duplicates....we now just spend the extra coupla dollars and buy the ones we want at toys shows.

Or the 3rd option and do both option 1 & 2 :#

Picked up the last Pet Shop at our local TRU this morning, along with free #40118. 

Drmnez

Just preordered the new SW encyclopedia

QuentinBrick

Going nuts at Lego Store with their massive sale area, picking up sets, I never had on a want list but couldn't pass up.  All were 40% off.  They had many more I "don't" need but might be getting if they are still there...they had so many I had to leave before I went broke...
Picked up:
75021 Republic Gunship
60064 Arctic Supply Plan
75013 Umbaran MHC

BACbrix

@QuentinBrick I need all three... lol what was total price?

3stackshs

Trying not to buy...couldn't help it. Got Lone Ranger train for $73 and #7939 train for $180 both NIB

QuentinBrick

@BACbrix $71, $29, and $29 respectively... They had tons more Potomac Mills Store is hard to pass up!

BACbrix

@QuentinBrick omg dude luckyyyy. Want to make some monet running a few errands? Lol jk but that is awesome. None in FL like that. Especially the Gunship, dang I need that

LegoTT

Where do Lego Stores typically have their items on sale? Never noticed a sale section in the past.

oldtodd33

^ In my store they are always in the center of the store about 20 ft. in front of the register on a raised platform.

Chubbles

Grabbed some of the speed champions sets today, really like the look of them.

sweetness34

Bought some clearance Hobbit sets from Target.

#79014 Dol Guldur battle at 50% off
#79016 Lake town attack at 33% off

Also the extra 5% for the red card.

Over the weekend I visited two lego shops. I bought:

#21109 #41074 #60083 #42033 #41067 #60053 #41527 #41532 #31014 #31028

Thanks to a very helpful lego employee I got these for free:

#30312 x4
#5001622 x12

And I managed to purchase #6628 which is MIB and 14 years older than me! That was a successful trip.

bobabricks

@oldtodd33 on large sale days do they raise the platform higher so people come around it like zombies jumping for sets? ;)

BACbrix

I just won sealed bags random 10 lot of them. One of the bags has all 6 minifigures from the most recent Millennium Falcon so that is a good omen. Only paid 26$ for all 10 bags and that is a stealll

Wow how did you get those for free?

oldtodd33

@bobabricks  No, They just put them out maybe quarterly on a short platform and people walk by, take a look and move on. I have rarely bought a set on sale at that store. The damaged train boxes only get you 10% off if you're lucky so I usually buy the larger sets on sale some where else.

xiahna

We're looking at a few things, hellicarrier is the most expensive at the moment but we're also looking at the arctic sets for our five yr old. He loves the colour and gets a thrill about handing dad the pieces to be put together.

rdflego

@piratemania7 I started talking to one of the store employees who was clearly an AFOL herself. We got talking about Lego and she told me that they each have a sigfig in their break room based on the employee polybag. I told her that the employee polybag was on my wanted list and over three trips to the register she slipped a few more in each time. The city driller she had to give to me anyway as I spent over £25 each time.

AKGrannymom

Just finished Ewok Village and have started Death Star

Odindusk

Finally pulled the trigger on #10237 LotR Tower of Orthanc. I would have never forgiven myself had I let that retire on by me. I have nowhere to display it right now, so into storage it goes until I get a proper computer room/office one day. =/

Elune

I have just bought the Kingdoms Joust and now I'm trying to find a Village Mill Raid at a decent price...
I'm also watching the Tower of Orthanc and the Ewok village so they don't retire before I can get them.

I'd jump on MVR sooner rather than later...

wrangler6915

^yeah that's good advice. I just sold a used one on eBay for $130. Complete and in great shape but no box. The interest in it was nuts. Had over 500 views for a one week auction.

Elune

I know! Urgh... I guess I'll have to make do with it's current market price and not wait to maybe find a deal someday...
I hope Lego releases a new wave of Castle sets in 2016. :smile:

Orthanc actually does not take up much horizontal space.  It's fairly easy to display in the corner of a room:

Oh I know, it's just that I need to be Lord Business with pets and a kid running around. Not building something like Orthanc until I have a little sanctuary from chaos.
