    Found a deal on 6 #71031, $3.99 when usually I see CMFs going for $4.99 lately
    Didn't get any I wanted personally (no Captain Carter on Monica Rambeau), so I BrickLinked them
    With a small quantity, and a sale on something I could resell, I didn't bother with figure identification

    My Ice Festival and Traditions sets have shipped as well… now I have to decide if #80109 would look better in my Winter Village or with the other CNY sets…

    I got the shipping notification yesterday evening as well. I was honestly surprised at how fast they processed it.

    I also got shipping notice for both of my orders late yesterday.  Knowing FedEx I probably won't get either order until next week though.  Maybe they'll surprise me and not leave them sitting in a Depot for three days.

    Yeah sure I'll probably take whatever I dont have if the stickers are fairly decent. 

    I'm better off trading than buying-- what are you into?

    I briefly got my hopes up this morning when I got a in-stock notification from Lego regarding the Titanic. I went straight to the website but of course it was already “temporarily out of stock” again. I get the feeling that the Lego notifications go out late and are usually worthless by the time they arrive so I probably should start using Brick Hound more often…

    I couldn't find a filter replacement locally for my dryer so I ordered one off amazon. And got Dual on Mandalore to get free shipping. Any excuse is good enough for more Lego.
    That is exactly how my city got a Street Sweeper.

    Going back to November/December 2020 when I was looking for the Elf Clubhouse, I found that the LEGO notifications were always about 15-20 minutes after the stock changed to available. But, inevitably, before I could log on, they were gone again. 

    I ended up using Brickhound (thankfully I've been reminded of the service), and found the notifications to be much more timely. The first time I was able to log on within a minute of getting the text, the Club House was still available. YMMV, but maybe worth a shot?

    Having waited ever so patiently for the inevitable discount, I'm going to have to pull the trigger on #31120 Creator Castle at full price. I guess if it ever is discounted (the Pirate Ship seemed to be 25% off almost immediately) I can just get two more and build a super castle.

    Same castle as above was 20%  off, then 50% off of the remaining price in the form of a voucher to spend in the supermarket. So basically got it at 60% off. Super happy with that.

    Finally the local lego shop got the 40558 clones mini battle packs in stock, so i got 6 of them (only 4 left on the shelf for now). Got the tiger set as gwp (i would have settled for only 5 clone packs, but figured i might as well pass the threshold and get the year of the tiger as well.)

    I should put this in the "brag thread", but when I was in my local comic shop last week, my eyes just happened to catch these.  I was looking to offload some Batman action figures, so the dude gave me store credit of $45 for the figures and lowered the price of the sets to be effectively $55...so, I actually got these both for $10 out of pocket!!!

    I missed out on the Ice Planet theme as a kid.  I wish I could bring myself to sell these and make a killer profit, but I can't.  Pardon my lack of technical skill to rotate the picture lol.


    Such a great theme - congratulations on an amazing find!  (Fixed that photo for you). 

    These arrived a couple days ago for me…

    Got Medievel Blacksmith and the 3-in-1 Castle from my local store. Got the taxi GWP as well.

    They were out of a couple other things I wanted (Defense of Hoth being the most important). Otherwise stock looked pretty good.

    Is it on sale, or do you mean you'll use $50 worth of points? It's showing $349.99 at Lego.com.

    ^Seems to be my purchasing luck as of late. They have SOME of what I want, but not ALL of what I want. 

    I'll likely grab enough to hit the free shipping now and wait on the others, hoping it's in stock for when Woody and Bo become available.

    Does anyone know where I can find polybags for sale, not online?  Where does one aquire these?  I am looking specifically for the minecraft 30432, the parrot 30581, the birthday bear 30582, and when it comes out,  30583 the Easter bunny.

    Hey @minecraft_lego_mom, in my region, polybags are sold at most stores. Sometimes grocery stores will have them. But certainly Target, Khols, Walmart, or any other dual purpose grocery-shopping store.

    Walgreens. for all they have pricey, this is one of the things they have a deal on

    several on shelf, but I picked out just 3 - I did get Captain Carter and Monica Rambeau, also once I identified Zombie Hunter Spidey I got that for a cousin who's a big Spider Man fan. 3 for 3 on IDing a series I hadn't ID'ed before, w00t

    Putting them with #76127, I got Rambeau specifically to go with my Captain Marvel stuff and #76201 is in my backlog

    didn't feel like buying any for resale though, don't want the cash tied up right now

    All that's left on my wanted list at lego is the globe....i'll wait on that purchase until I know I won't go over my spend threshold for the year.  I got me all the new minecraft sets, ninjago dragons, the majestic tiger, love birds, sunflowers, the brickpetz, easter bunny set, and i was able to obtain 4 year of the tiger sets (my son is a tiger).  waiting patiently on the march 1 sets to be released.

    Your son is a tiger?!?!  ;)

    I wish my want list was only as big as yours.  I need to significantly pear it down.  It should help that hardly anything on it is available to purchase.

    Swung by the store today, they finally had #60326 in stock. Still no #40558 though, apparently they get them rarely, in small numbers, and they disappear instantly, ugh.
    Stock problems become more and more apparent, with the superheroes part being swamped with Eternals and Shang-Chi sets, and all the smaller spots, where you'd expect accessory packs etc., filled with BaM packs. Got one with the CNY lady as a small consolation for passing on CNY sets, though.

    This book seems to have really gone under the radar so far... At least it certainly went under mine!
    It's not even in the Brickset database (though I know Huw has very specific rules about what books get logged). But this book is really AWESOME and I think a lot of AFOLs would get a big kick out of it. Each page is packed full of classic references. How could I not get a book that features my Classic Pirates so well?

    I’ve been scrambling the last week to get two more copies of the Star Wars Sith mosaic #31200 so I can make the 3 set version of Darth Vader.  I wasn’t aware that it retired in December, but luckily I was able to eBay a used copy and get another on Amazon before they sold out….

    At least if you have one, the spares it comes with and the plans for the big one, getting the bits to finish it shouldn't be that difficult if you can't pick the set up at a decent price. (Its what I intend to do as the sets didn't drop to a level l was happy to pay).

    I think the Sith mosaic is definitely going to go to get ridiculous in the aftermarket, although hopefully not right away.  In the US at least, it was almost impossible to find it on more than 10% sale outside of less than a week on Amazon and Target, when it went down to 20% off.  Even the 10% sale was less than a month of total time when I was looking at them.  For other sets that may not sound crazy, especially over the last couple years, but all the other 3 mosaic sets were not only discounted significantly longer, but had far deeper discounts.  Even the Iron Man one dipped down to 30% off at least once, and was at 20% off for at least a couple weeks in a few places.

    Honestly, I lucked out with them, because I did notice that they were retiring and I was able to pull the trigger on them in November when the sales happened.  If I hadn't noticed they were retiring, I would have been waiting for a deeper discount before I got them, and would have been out in the cold too. :(

    Same boat as @KungFuKenny except I was looking for the Beatles. Managed to find a couple at BN and only had to pay $120 since I had gift cards. Should have jumped on it when it was $85 on Amazon.
