Just made an unexpected on the spot purchase and picked up 4 x #21122 for £29.99 & 1 x #21124 for £24.99

black_towr · November 2016

Picked these up today. Very happy with how they look.

dspigel · November 2016

^ those look awesome. Can't wait to find them around here.

starwars4ever · November 2016

Just got #7119 today 100% complete (used) for $15. I am quite impressed with the quality considering it's age.

3stackshs · November 2016

didnt even know this existed. Got it today for about $55 at TRU in Japan.

77ncaachamps · November 2016

Picked this up at Goodwill.

Not a true find but at $9.69 I was willing to try.
Obviously opened and felt light but

got some lime green plates, and miraculously all the minifigs were there unassembled incl accessories.
Lots of dishes and asst elements.
instructions and sticker sheet were still in taped bag.

The track and cars were gone as was most of the fun food accessories. The thieves must've known what to angle for

...but why leave the minfigs?

must've been a Target shrinkage (opened and pilfered in store).

starwars4ever · November 2016

Just bought this classic today!

dspigel · November 2016

Picked up these while getting some odds and ends.

You're really going for the classics, aren't you! I love those 1999-ish era Star Wars sets. Considering they didn't use a whole lot of non-standard pieces and were very angular, they had a lot of character.

starwars4ever · November 2016

Not as old as some as my recent buys, but it's instantly recognizable!

MrJ_NY · November 2016

Finally picked up 75150 Vader's TIE Advanced VS A-Wing for $56.79, no way would I pay retail price - $89.99

The set that brought me out of my dark ages after picking one up on a trip to Vegas in 2008.

stlux · November 2016

Good 1st day in London:

The Stratford Lego store staff was so nice to give me an extra London Bus and 3 Leicester Square sticker sheets to enable me to also cover my other London Buses if I would wish to do so. Very happy :)

VorpalRyu · November 2016

Thanks to Target, just managed to score all the Nexo Knights Ultimate sets for AU$10 each, so about 37.5% off local RRP, our solution to James wanting to collect NK, as we're already heavily invest enough other themes.

TheFew · November 2016

2 off #76048 Red Skull's submarine. Currently half price in Smyths UK at £14.99 with free delivery over £20..

josekalel · November 2016

I haven't joined most of you in your pre-BF purchases mainly because of lack of funds, but even then I just ordered:

#60119 Ferry (looks cool, comes with one vehicle)
#76045 Kryptonite Interception (I want the Batmobile and the forklift)

Otherwise, I'm waiting...I didn't really feel like getting more Avenger Towers, and I don't think I should get any Airport sets yet.

stlux · November 2016

Trip to Bluewater today:

#21017 Imperial Hotel is from The Entertainer, as they finally slapped a discount on this retired set. No discounts on their remaining stock of TLM and Hero Factory sets though...

piratemania7 · November 2016

Bought #75152 for my nephew for his birthday Saturday. He received it yesterday and knowing it was from me knows it's LEGO without even opening the box - he is quite excited.

Briking · November 2016

^Lego boxes have their own sound too ;-)

piratemania7 · November 2016

^ ha, to clarify I meant the shipping box.

josekalel · November 2016

Dropped by at Target and got:

#75141 Kanan's Speeder Bike (not bad for $15.99)
#30396 Cupcake Stall (to add to my town's street)
#30474 Reindeer (I got three...don't know why)

Someone mentioned about the green plates being on sale...I have to go back and get me some.

Johnyk668 · November 2016

Picked up #21303 and #10246 for below RRP, and my US $14 (incl postage) #33078 hot dog/sausage arrived in the post from the states. Woohoo

brumey · November 2016

trying to get my hands on some used castle and monster fighters still...

not quite finding something from [email protected] or the usual suspects. because i already own all the stuff i admire from the current range. i just browse local fleamarket sites!

maybe on sunday if my urin smells right i ll order spiderman ghostrider teamup, black knight mech, merloks library and samurai xcave chaos... but only if i m feeling good!
but i have time, since those arent listed as "retiring soon".

also:
ditched the whole idea of scooby doo. milking and collecting! city (esp trains), nexo and ninJAHgo is enough for me! gotta save some funds for new modular and new villains! i caught the train bug, a little bit!

Same offer is available here in Ireland, so I got 3 of them to avail of a €10 discount on purchases over €50. And then I did it again...

sid3windr · November 2016

Buying a Year of the Rooster set by proxy in London, as a consolation prize because the lego store set is already sold out :(

stlux · November 2016

My haul from the Leicester Square opening yesterday, with several boxes signed by the friendly designers present :)

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5015319/uploads/editor/00/3vf5yowdlsf2.jpg

I wish I could have bought more, but had to haul all this (and much more!) back with me on a plane...

stlux · November 2016

And visiting 4 Lego stores in London in 3 days + meeting the fabulous @Lego_Star
netted me this:

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5015319/uploads/editor/la/xnhsry2zrm56.jpg

Made quite a difference from my usual laptop + maybe small suitcase taking all this on a flight back from London City Airport... Think I was the only person on the flight with checked in luggage. My signed boxes of #40179, #40145 and #21034 came with me as carry-on luggage to keep them safe...

piratemania7 · November 2016

Going to purchase a second copy of the winter train after midnight tonight to take advantage of some pre brick Friday offers.

JooTog · November 2016

Got #70732 City of Stiix at TRU today for $60 ($70 sale & $10 R US Rewards).

Now I only need a Kilroy minifigure in Mr. Roboto disguise ;-)

jumalichi · November 2016

About the personalised mosaïc portrait #40179 is it specific to the Leicester square store or will it be available in the others stores ?

stlux · November 2016

The mosaic maker machine is for the time being exclusive to the Leicester Square store. As it's the size of a rather large photo booth, I would not expect it to show up in lots of other stores; there's simply not enough space.

Bumblepants · November 2016

Just tried for some of the Castle Calvary Lego Movie sets listed for $6.39 on Amazon for parts. Supposedly will be fulfilled by Amazon so I like my chances.

JooTog · November 2016

"Early access to Brick Friday offers" weekend damage.

Visited two LEGO stores.

#21307 Caterham
#40204 Pilgrim x2 (half-off @ LEGO store)
#41578 #41579 #45780 Mixels Series 9 Newzers
#10218 Pet Shop (2nd one)
#5004420 Toy Soldier x2
#40223 Snowglobe x2

Also stopped by TRU (again):

#75096 Sith Infiltrator (3rd prequel set... my 'no prequel' resolve weakens)
#5004468 Easter Minifigure

xwingpilot · November 2016

Just placed an ebay order for #5000062 and #5001709 (coming in just under the Bricklink price). It seems I have a bit of a 'thing' for exclusive minifigures. Fortunately my attitude towards collecting them remains the same as for the rest of my collection - only buy those I like and that aren't crazy prices...

OrmskirkBricks · November 2016

So November has again been expensive for many of us! And we have not even hit the thanksgiving weekend yet!

So far this month;

Ewok Village
Ideas Beatles Yellow Submarine
Winter Train
Star Wars AT-ST
Star Wars Reys Speeder

And now on the look out to expand my display space before I can build any of these!

stlux · November 2016

Finally pulled the trigger on #75150 Vader's TIE Advanced vs A-wing Starfighter. Was finally at a decent discount instead of it's ridiculous RRP.

I decided to get from LEGO store since I couldn't find anyone discounting it at a decent level in the UK after it was listed as retiring. It is a nice set and yes it is overpriced, like all of the recent SW lego sets, but I know I would end up paying even more for it in the future on eBay!

LEGO_Dad77 · November 2016

Picked up my first Dragon last night... the last on the shelf, otherwise I may have passed on it with Christmas being just around the corner (I'm not as spoiled as some of you guys, ha! Wish I was...). Hopefully get to build it today after a buttload of house projects. :|

That's a nice dragon! Its main disadvantage is that its torso feels pretty skinny compared to some other LEGO dragons. I've found it can be easily improved with some inverse slopes or inverse curved slopes on its tummy, but as a $30, 350-piece set I guess it might've already been pushing the limits of its price point.

SprinkleOtter · November 2016

Too much to admit, so I'm just going to say "nothing". *wink*

Jackad7 · November 2016

Finally purchased the remaining parts for the dropship portion of #10195. Excited to finally get that last Bricklink quest over with.

I just found out you can see them all by selecting the 'extended' category on the main site: http://brickset.com/sets/theme-Star-Wars/category-Extended

VorpalRyu · November 2016

@xwingpilot, except it misses off the new white Fett that came with one of the DK books.

MaffyD · November 2016

^ what's the rangefinder colour on that one? ;-)

VorpalRyu · November 2016

^ The one on mine is silver, I did hold out for a while in the hopes of finding a copper or gold one, but I didn't want to miss out so I grabbed one with a silver rangefinder. Just wish I had known about how ultra-rare DBG ones were, there was two books at Costco that had them, the rest were just boring white ones...

I don't think that counts as it's not an exclusive minifigure polybag.

Perhaps @Huw can explain the definition of the 'extended' category?

VorpalRyu · November 2016

@xwingpilot, the extended category is a bit of mixed bag, it shows up stuff like #850425, #850702, #850910, #850932, #5002136 & #5004420 when looking at the category for my collection.
