  A notable purchase was the first big set I bought - Diagon Alley. Opened the door to a whole lot of spending.

  I bought two CMF Shark Men last week for no reason whatsoever... I was just feeling shark-y I guess.

  I think it's Medieval Market Village. I'd wanted it for years, but not felt able to justify buying it. Then I go it from another member here, and it was so exciting to unbox, and to build and play with with my partner!

  Just purchased a used/opened copy of #44028 at a thrift store for 6.99 the other day.  Turns out only one of the front legs, a printed panel, and a few misc pieces were missing. Oh, and it came with an off-brand zip cord thingy and a necklace with plastic beads and a rubber shark tooth the size of spinjitzu spinner.

  It was the first time I had felt out a set of CMFs in stores and it was so awkward. They were all in front of the till and I had a feeling the whole time that the cashier was looking at me wondering why I was spending so much time touching packets that contained a plastic toy.

  Most notable moment for me was when I decided to pull the trigger on the Grand Emporium and the Haunted House, a few days before they retired.
  
  There was also the time when I discovered that a toy store in the middle of nowhere had the Fire Brigade in stock (this was during the Parisian Restaurant era) and had to beg one of my friends to drive me there to get it, as I was a student and didn't have a car.

  There were a couple of instances where I was able to get sets at TRU for only $0.03. Those were the days!

  Finding #10188 for $56 ($80 - 30%) at a thrift store brought me out of my Dark Age.

  I bought #10243 last year. Brought me out of dark age, ultimately resulted in numerous purchases I would’ve considered ridiculous before.

  I nearly forgot - here's the dumpster fodder that is eight gray baseplates cemented with some sort of adamatium or vibranium adhesive to an ugly table.

  Use it as a message board. Tiles/plates to make statements like they have outside churches or fast food places :)

  @SumoLego, thank you so much!! :) I'm looking forward to building the pug tomorrow; meanwhile, my partner's already been at the diver and turned him into a faceless shell of his former self, presumably having met Cthulhu in the depths...
