What are you buying right now ?

Switchfoot55 · July 2020

Well, I decided to pull the trigger on #75278 D-O. Found one on eBay for just about 30% off list price. I'm sure I could have waited for a better deal, but thought it worth just going for it. Now, just to find a #10225 to complete my collection!

560Heliport · July 2020

#80009 and #80104. I've fallen down the Monkie Kid rabbit hole.

vanvonfull · July 2020

Store shelves around me are mostly bare, so I’m attacking my want list on eBay.

Just finished my LOTR/Hobbit set collection today. Woot!

flightrisk · July 2020

Evidently I am buying #75317 The Mandalorian & the Child. I had three orders pending to qualify for certain promos. Didn’t think they were supposed to ship until next month but all are in process.

Is anyone else seeing theirs in process?

typocorrecto · July 2020

Just ordered Crocodile Locomotive from Amazon in the US, sold by Amazon. Didn't expect this set to show up there so soon.

Cymbeline · July 2020

@flightrisk I have 2 #75317 in process

typocorrecto · July 2020

Cancelled my Amazon order as the Crocodile Locomotive just came back in stock at the LEGO shop. Finally used my $25 worth of VIP points.

Astrobricks · July 2020

For my first LEGO purchase since lockdown, I finally picked up #75249 at Target. Their regular price is 20% off RRP, which makes it reasonable in my opinion. I even built it! Very interesting build with some great greebling in the center section, but the way the engine booms are attached is pretty flimsy.

flightrisk · July 2020

@Cymbeline. Thanks. Turns out that sets are in but still won’t ship until Aug 1st. The ‘in process’ is just to pre-authorize payments.

awahl211 · July 2020

Decided to pay my local LEGO store a visit for the first time since lockdown. Surprised to see the crocodile locomotive, barracuda bay AND the haunted house all in stock. Was told they just got them in last night and didn’t even know they were getting them. Couldn’t justify getting all 3 sets but walked out with this:

I wonder what this means for my back order....

Status is "Awaiting new stock".

Of the three I think you picked the right two sets...

Don't know, but my order shipped today.

Charmiefcb · July 2020

Waiting for the new Batman Bricksketchers to come out this week and putting it with an order of a couple of Monkie Kid sets.

Addicted2Oxygen · July 2020

Brick and pieces order arrived. :)
Now to check through it and find out what parts are missing this time.
The monkie kid parts look great and the manta rays are awesome

FollowsClosely · July 2020

After a multi year break from moc'n, I am making slow progress on a small to medium size castle.

Edit: Oops. Thought this was the building thread. I actually have not purchased a set since the January 2019. That was #10264.

560Heliport · July 2020

^ I thought this was going to be about fitting as many pieces as possible in a PAB cup! ;-)

Bumblepants · July 2020

I just bought a lighthouse set on purpose. The recent Friends ocean rescue one was -40% which is a rare level of discount to find in BG. My soon to be 7 year old has had her eye on it since it came out last summer so this will be a fun surprise for her come birthday time.

You best hope she doesn’t read this forum!

autolycus · July 2020

Well, I almost ordered Downtown Diner. It was showing as in stock when I checked this afternoon. Had to wrap up work, and it was gone again. ::insert screaming gif of some variety::

autolycus · July 2020

Have my first actually "buying right now" in a little while. Stopped by my local Lego store (North Point Mall, GA) and picking up the Tree House. They had a few in stock.

They were relatively well stocked in general. Of the sets I've been tracking on S@H: No Downtown Diner, Roller Coaster, Disney Castle, Bookshop, ISD, UCS A-Wing, or Hogwarts Clocktower, but they had Assembly Square, Corner Garage, Tantive IV and a couple Death Stars. They said they had not gotten any of the SW helmets yet at all, but did have the Iron Man one. That's all I really paid attention to.

chrisalddin · July 2020

over the past week. i have got/on order. from Amazon.

#70419 Wrecked Shrimp Boat £13.00 (down to £12.00 with £1 off drom No Rush offer on DVD we got 3 weeks ago) (order on no rush, added £1 off offer did not work, can not be assed to phone amazon to sort it out.)

#60253 Ice-Cream Truck £12.00 (when i 1st seen this set i know i was going to get it. just no at full price, at £12? is just the right price for me.) No Rush add £1 to use later.

#75957 The Knight Bus £20 (down to £18 with save up 2x £1 no rush offer) 2nd saved £1 came from a non lego order that we needed. (this said it Qualifying for no Rush at payment but did not let me pick no rush shipping. it will not get to me to wadnesday any how so we see if the offer trips or not.)

for anyone doing the maths there. yes that Knight Bus was a 48.6% off. 50p away from the magic 50% off.

turns out when you buy lego. with a headache, and know there no point in ordering next day shipping. you end up saving more in the long run.

btw i am not the one who pays for Amazon Prime in my household, the one who is payed for that got it for Amazon Fire TV. to watch Amazon Video. the free next day shipping is just a bonus. and if waiting a little bit to get a little bit more off them lego set's all the better for me.

TheOriginalSimonB · July 2020

^Funnily enough I’ve just ordered the Knight Bus myself, having sworn to myself that the only HP sets I was going to buy were the Brickheadz. But then I’m a bus nerd as well so that price sold it to me.

Mind you, I also got the big buildable Hedwig a few weeks ago and just love it.

Gibbo1959 · July 2020

^ me too. Looks like a fun build and hard to say no at £20. HP seems to be one of those themes where I just pick up the occasional small or medium set.

Fauch · July 2020

I find hard to get excited by the knight bus when I have the creator expert london bus

ShatteredGnome · July 2020

Attempted to buy #75222 this weekend on Bricklink but order was cancelled (seller had sold already on another site). It didn't connect until recently for me that this had already been retired, long after it was too late to avoid resale prices. I'm not willing to pay more than maybe $450 and resale prices are generally well above this at the moment for US and Canada.

panchox1 · July 2020

Just got the dots big bracelet pack. I thought it would be a fun activity to do with out of town family coming to visit for my bday. other than that, whole lot of nothing. Just waiting for the Haunted House to come back in stock on S@H

eMJeeNL · July 2020

Was on holiday in France, and Soldes (sale) starts after Quatorze Juillet there, so got me all the bricks I could get for little cash:
#60138 for €14
#60141 for €41
#70641 for €18
#70822 for €5 (twice, not the best of deals, but still)
a bunch of magazines and books with Minifigs for €1 each!

Me happy :)

SirBrickalotOfLego · July 2020

Decided to catch up on some Architecture sets. Glad I picked up the LV skyline as it seems to be going out of stock everywhere.

Made a tutorial on how to use Bricklink's Studio software! You can use it to build custom MOCs, and order specific pieces! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iq69zPkmRX0

autolycus · July 2020

Just got Tantive IV at my Lego store. Asked about the christmas tree GWP and the rumor that some stores had the Nutcracker for when they run out of trees. They did have some, so he grabbed a nutcracker from the back for me. I have a tree already, but hadn’t gotten the nutcracker, so that was a nice score!

panchox1 · July 2020

Procrastinated about ordering the Treehouse. They ran out of the Gingerbread house GWP so that made it easy to not blow the money right now. Glad there is really nothing in August in the way of promos that interests me much. So for now, I'll be holding out till the August double vip points event and see if there is anything I can't say no to back in stock at that point.

in the mean time, I did get the Death Star Cannon set from Walmart and my Crocodile Locomotive shipped! So that's cool.

GrannyLEGO · July 2020

Sitting here ready and waiting for delivery of #30571 Pelican (w/2 alternate builds) and #60253 Ice Cream Truck ... supposed to be here today or tomorrow!

karrit · July 2020

The only thing I've bought lately is the Friends Jungle Cubes except for Emma's as I can't find it anywhere. Couldn't find anything I wanted on S@H before they ran out of the Gingerbread House GWP which I already own anyway. If they don't get some new sets in stock soon that I'm interested in I'm going to go crazy. I'm really waiting for the HP sets to release here in the US but I really want to get them at a discount so I'll probably be waiting a lot longer. Target has the Friends Jungle sets but I know they will have some sort of promo on them eventually so I'm resisting paying rrp. My local Walmarts are oos on the Hidden side sets I still want at the reduced prices or they haven't reduced them yet.

@panchox1 When is the Double Points offer in August? I resisted back-ordering the big sets I want because at those prices I need to get double points on them.

well, darn. looks like I was reading the wrong event calendar and there isn't one. Sorry for the confusion.

Switchfoot55 · July 2020

Do they advertise X2 points ahead of time any more? I thought that went away last year?

FollowsClosely · July 2020

36 TROFAST containers.

GrannyLEGO · July 2020

Took the plunge ... okay, talked my sweet other half into letting me ... and ordered the Assembly Square which is currently on back order with a promised shipping date of 8/16. Now to prepare to sit here on pins and needles until it gets here!

Afoltv · July 2020

Posted instructions for the Grey LEGO SUV "Range Rover", hope you like it!

Switchfoot55 · July 2020

I went to run a quick errand during lunch today. I happened to check the Lego aisle, oddly not originally on my agenda. I saw the Mandalorian BHz and a new box of the latest CMF series. I then remembered a gift card to the store in my wallet. I ended up grabbed the BHz set and two CMFs - Llama and Pinata Boy. They were $5/each, otherwise I would have grabbed a couple more that I want. But, after the gift card, it was only $2 out of pocket. Felt like a great purchase!

iwybs · July 2020

After procrastinating it all summer long, I bought four 12 gallon plastic totes to expand and reorganize my storage. Afterwards I had two slightly smaller totes of a different model and two slightly smaller cardboard boxes left over, so the storage volume now is nowhere near 48 gallons greater than the previous storage volume.

chrisalddin · August 2020

random buy.

#42100 Liebherr R 9800 for £325.80 (on the 5 payments plan) from amazon.

KungFuKenny · August 2020

I’m not buying this but it would be a quick way to populate your LEGO city...500 minifigs with accessories for $699 from Legoland in Florida...

mustang69 · August 2020

^What are the odds that they sterilized those before putting them in the bag? I'm sure these are just the old parts they pulled from the BaM bar at the park.

karrit · August 2020

They've got multiple options to get bulk bricks also. Some nice deals if one was interested in a random bunch of brick. Also some bundled Xtra options. If they had a smaller option on the minifig bundle I might be interested but that's way too much $ for me to spend on unknown minifigs. Remind me I said that when I buy a full box of the HP CMF's. Looks like they've included a lot of the pricier accessories going by the pictures.

flord · August 2020

It’s been weird. After taking a long hiatus, I’ve been on a bit of a splurge lately. Is it because of COVID?

It started with the Creator Townhouse, and the Cafe/Toyshop. Then I got Downtown Diner followed by the Spider-Man crawler with Sandman (bought it for the figs), the AT-ST with the Mandalorian, and a few Minecraft sets for my kids for rainy days at the lake. I also pre-ordered the Super Mario Starter set, and finished CMF Series 20. I still want to get Barracuda Bay, the Bookshop, and the newest Batcave, plus all the Clone Wars stuff.

It’s the most I’ve bought in years.

rocao · August 2020

Purchased some of the new sets for curbside-pickup from my local LEGO store. Received both Mario promotional sets. Tantive and Hogwarts Castle (out of stock online) were in stock, so added those as well.

It took an hour to get through when the phones opened to place the order, but the actual pick up went smooth. Appreciative of the LEGO store employees and all businesses navigating these tough times.

SirBrickalotOfLego · August 2020

Went into Cardiff to pick up the NES and to my surprise they had one 501st Troopers set left so I picked it up. Happy!

Yo_dA · August 2020

I’ve been on the hunt for some of the new summer sets and today I scored. My local target had a bunch of new stuff in stock. I picked up #31109 and almost pulled the trigger on the new at-at.
