Just picked up the new Ghostbusters ecto 1, a hotdog man key ring, and a silver brick keyring for my lady, got a free retro knight and fountain, not bad for £38 after using my £20 from the gift card.

the tires need some heavy fiddling. this keeps rolling without falling apart. but very fragile. my nephew isnt allowed to touch it!

BrickDancer · July 2016

^Is that Tumbler based on an MOC design? Doesn't look like the tan set one modded in black, but can't quite make out the pieces either.

TheOriginalSimonB · July 2016

Picked up Creator 31032 Red Creatures to increase my dragon collection.

kiki180703 · July 2016

Just bought the #70751 Airjitsu Temple and because they didn't have any of the Classic Knights sets left, they gave me the #5004390 Nexo Knights calendar promo.

classic space "wings" in any colour. You know, the pre-2005 wedge plates with that wonderful little notch cut out on the corner. Love those pieces. That is what I'm buying. Stock piling them. Hoarding them, even. Why? Winter is coming. It is only months away ;)

chrisalddin · July 2016

from smyths, on order.
#70321 General Magmar's Siege Machine of Doom
for £24.99 (£30.99 + £6 off code)

1 more nexo set down.
and again £10 off rrp. on this one.
now if only i can get that big set at a good price. when i have the money to pay for it..

JudgeChuck · July 2016

I picked up #21108 Ghostbusters Ecto-1 yesterday and built it last night. What a great looking car! :-) The minifigs are excellent and I love the proton packs as well.
It was quite late at night and I was wondering what the four Medium Stone Grey 4542590: Stick Ø 3.2 W. Holder parts were for, sticking up out of the middle of the car...The, having put the side windows together with the 4611702: Plate 1X2 W. Vertical Schaft parts, it was one of those very pleasant "Ahhhh, that's what they're for!" moments...
Great model, great build and excellent parts in unusual colours (especially all the Cool Silver ones).

It's quite a coincidence that you say this. Recently I was on Bricklink looking for these in light bluish gray for a project I am putting together, and after a few low price ones, they start jumping into the range of a dollar or more per piece. Luckily, I was able to find an auction for #4492 with includes 2 of both the left and right wing piece which came out to costing me only a few dollars more than what I would have paid for the wings alone without shipping.

Yodalicious · July 2016

Ninjago Temple. Willpower = None. But we already knew this.

Also, some Bionicle freebie. He looks cool. Just not my thing. Son will love it.

And far more alligators then I'll ever need. (Go Gators!)

Jern92 · July 2016

Picked up the Hot Dog Van and Painting Easter Eggs while at Legoland, and got the Olaf set free. Wanted to get the Legoland train but they sold out of it. :-(

dspigel · July 2016

I can't wait to get down to the Lego store and get the VW!

mr.piggles · July 2016

Finally got the Fun in the Park set, I've been doing my best to space my purchases out quite a bit to keep the shine on. Almost August, when the stuff I reeeeally want comes out.

MaffyD · July 2016

My lovely wife just bought me this:

#31039

With £10 off it's good value for money and will go well with my other Creator aircraft. Getting a classic knight with ballista with it was icing on the cake.

HangedSanchez · July 2016

In theory, nothing. I'm off on a LUG trip to Billund in September so I'm trying to save up for the employee's store.

In practice though, I have no willpower, so I've put little orders into S@H this month and last to get the free Fountain and Classic Knights set. I'll probably do the same next month to get the London Bus.

The freebies at the moment are just too good!

LUGs get an opportunity every 3 years to visit Billund. You typically get a visit to the factory, a presentation from a Lego designer, a tour of the Lego Ideas House and, obviously, a visit to the employee store. Oh, and Lego might provide lunch. Brickset did one last year - http://bricksetforum.com/discussion/19341/brickset-members-destination-billund-2015-‏/p1

Am I really now waiting for the 2017 UCS Snowspeeder and any Series 4 OT Microfighters?

Hop over to bricklink, you'll find something there to fill the void! A nice Y wing should do the trick without breaking the bank

Fodder · July 2016

Just got my Raptor Rampage, Pteranadon Capture and Dilophosaurus Ambush.
And I'm waiting for LOTR/Hobbit poly bags that I've ordered from bricklink.
Living in the past...

AdeelZubair · July 2016

I just picked up #75139 - Battle on Takodana for £29.06 on Amazon!

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5015319/uploads/editor/5q/cx4by0gwe23c.jpg

Being a fan of Star Wars: the Force Awakens (2015) I couldn't turn down that perfect Minifigure selection. We can all agree that it's RRP of £49.99 was a little outrageous, it's RRP should've been £39.99, which proves why this set is constantly on sale around that price.

After watching Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) the absence of the interior is a shame, it contained so many delights and awesome scenarios. My plan is to make a separate model that can be connected with this set as an extension of this set like #9516 - Jabba's Palace and #75005 - Rancor Pit or completely redesign the set and add the cantina area. If you know me I would prefer to make a movie accurate model. However I may also design an extension so others can add it to their own set.

MrGudz · July 2016

Just ordered #75102 Resistance Troop Transporter for £36.33.
I've been after this for a while, especially at this price.

77ncaachamps · July 2016

Nada. Saving up for Bricks by the Bay!

https://www.bricksbythebay.com

chrisalddin · July 2016

well with amazon's help.
i placed a order for
#75135 Obi-Wan's Jedi Interceptor
#75091 Star Wars Flash Speeder
#41129 Friends Amusement Park Hot Dog Van
£49.39 in all

all hope on getting 3x corner deli on a 3 for 2 is almost lost now.
i have yet to see this set on sale for any price under £24.99 on amazon.
could have picked 1 up on smyths £6 off offers. but was hoping to save more then just £6 each.
the MOC i had planned is now on hold. and may never see the light of day.
will we will have to wait and see.

eanair · July 2016

I hope I'll be buying some S16 minifigs tomorrow.

Oooh I love this set so much! The little fairground extras are fab, I especially love the photo cutout thingy!

catwrangler · July 2016

I got a CMF Frankenstein's Monster and a mixed lot of minifigs on Ebay yesterday. Ahhh, slipping back into old habits...

monkeyhanger · July 2016

Adzbadboy: Lucky you getting it for that p32rice, was it that price for a very short while today?

I bought it too, along with #75140 resistance transporter and #75148 encounter on Jakku in the Argos 3 for 2.

I also went for a Buildable Obi-Wan, Kylo Ren and Captain Phasma, also on the 3 for 2.

Tried to pick up 3 Galactic empire troopers battlepacks on another 3 for 2, but they charged my card for 2 and could then only find one. Apparently there was only ever 1 in stock, but the system allowed me to pay for 2. The manager was confident that i'd only actually been charged for 1 despite what my receipt said. I got a stock transaction printout with a short note so I can chase up the other £8.99 if they did actually charge me £17.98. I got a refund, but only at £8.99.

All boxes were slightly squashed.

Yup, it only lasted an hour after I purchased for it to raise in price, currently #75139 and #75140 have both gone back up to RRP.

MattDawson · July 2016

A #10129 Maersk train for £180 and #7994 Harbour set for £40 + postage for both.

The train even had a 9V motor in the pictures, so I'm tempted to see if it has one when it arrives...

KingAlanI · July 2016

Usually I mention my purchases in the relevant store thread instead of here - got a lot on sale at WalMart or Target lately, and some S@H orders for promos.
Got a small bag of DUPLO at a garage sale Saturday for 50c. A few common bricks worth about a dollar on BrickLink ($1.26 actually), a DUPLO animal and 2 oversized MegaBloks for young houseguests to play with, some LEGO knockoffs slightly oversized and with an odd bottom structure.

chrisalddin · July 2016

placed a back order for " #31052 Creator Vacation Getaways" on Amazon for £36.33
shipping date 3 for 5 weeks.

LandmarksWorld · July 2016

Nothing...can't wait to get Sydney Opera House and Big Ben/Ghostbusters Firehouse at christmas...

MrGudz · July 2016

#76060 The new Dr Strange set.

tallblocktoo · July 2016

^Is this set available in North America and where if so?

Bricklover18 · July 2016

Bought 10, got 9 different, would have got more banana guys if they had them.

Renny · July 2016

Was a couple weeks ago but bought a nice used copy of #10234 Sydney Opera House and pieced together all the original parts for the Batman Batpod for around $130 including shipping.

Fauch · July 2016

the haloween x-wing because my collection needs more orange colour. actually, it's mainly because it looks good, but the orange is the reason to pick it over the other x-wing.

JooTog · July 2016

Two sets from Amazon arrived today.

#31023 Yellow Racers. I'm really getting into this minifigure-scale Creator vehicles. Wish I had noticed them before (that they were minifigure-scale). They have Creator sets with minifigures; how hard it is to include a generic pilot/driver minifigure with this sets?

Also, my second #31032 Red Creatures. Loved the dragon and wanted the scorpion.
