Jedi Master Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) I recently have purchased the Republic Fighter Tank, Hyena Bomber, Assassin Droid Battle Pack, and Republic attack Gunship recently all for $75 on eBay!! It had a weird listing name so no one else found it but me.. Sweet deal, I'll post pics when they arrive. What deals have you gotten? I'm also not sure how to post pics. When I try, it says they are too big. Over 100k. Can someone help? Edited May 10, 2016 by Jedi Master Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actor Builder Posted May 22, 2016 I found the Ideas Big Bang Theory for $30 instead of the usual $60. I bought it. At that price, I can forgive buying a set from a crappy show*, just for the pieces. *In my correct and true and inarguable opinion, that is. I watch it, weirdly enough, but that's mainly to try and figure out just how it became the "#1 Sitcom". It's just not a good show. All the characters are so inconsistent throughout the seasons. This latest season, Raj is dating two chicks at once and everyone's like "How the heck...?" and I'm just like "Guys, that same exact plot happened like two seasons ago. There is a precedent for Raj having two women at once! Why are you so surprised?" and then Sheldon and Penny are playing a memory game in a recent episode, where they show each other flash cards, and Sheldon is struggling with some of them and I'm just thinking "Dude, you made a big deal of having an 'eidetic memory' in the past shows, this isn't hard for your character". I didn't mean to spend so long reviewing the quality of the show the set is based on, I just got caught up in how bad it truly is. But I found a LEGO set half price! That's great!

BrickJagger Posted June 27, 2016 A smaller find, but I took advantage of a pricing error and picked up the Bionicle Lava Beast for $10.99 instead of the usual $14.99. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samurai-turtle Posted July 7, 2016 Well I was the local Walmart looking around. In the clearance area I spotted 41085 vet clinic at first I thought someone just put it there. So being the border line compulsive type I was going to put with the rest of the friends sets. But first I decided to check the price and then scanner said $5. So I double checked the original price on line. And then I went to buy set. The End Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

biglesdug Posted August 10, 2016 Where'd you find that? I'd love to pick up another for that price! I got a new with no box 2008 attack gunship at a tag sale for $10. It was only missing the sticker sheet and Ventresses's skirt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AmperZand Posted August 19, 2016 I don't know if this qualifies as a "find" given that they were at the RRP, but I found Series 16 of the collectable minifigures at Legoland Billund on Wednesday, fully two weeks before their official European release. I was aware that they had been out in the US for a while but wasn't expecting to see them in the Old World when I entered one of the many shops at Legoland and there they were in plentiful supply! I got ten: one army builder in triplicate and seven other favourites singly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robianco Posted January 13, 2017 I can't believe this thread had fallen so far down the pages. I had a lucky haul so I thought I'd share. I posted on FB about whether anybody knew someone in a retail store who could help secure a box of lego Batman Move CMF figures when a friend asked if I wanted to buy her son's Lego collection. Initially she said £100... which then doubled to £200 but I was still interested. I knew he had a Helicarrier but I didn't want to rip him off so when he said he wanted to keep that I was fine with it... He was a friend's son after all. So I popped down with £200 without know too much of what was there to see if we had a deal. There was a multi draw thing kid's have for toys which was full of lego and there was some other boxes and a quick scout said It was at least worth what I paid. Then I started to build the things.. Helped by the fact that included was 1 set of instructions... for 10188 Death Star! With a couple of small orders to BL which have totalled around £40 I currently have: 10188 Death Star - Complete with all figures 9516 Jabba's Palace - Complete with some figures but no Jabba, Oola or Bib Fortuna. 75005 Rancor Pit - Complete with all figures and Rancor 75916 Dilophosaurus Ambush - Complete with all figures 75915 Pteranodon Capture - Complete with all figures 76021 Milano Spaceship Rescue - Complete with all figures 76020 Knowhere Escape Mission - 76019 Starblasters Showdown - Complete but no helmet for Nova Pilot 9468 Monster Fighters Vampire Castle - Complete with all figures 76047 Black Panther Pursuit - Complete with all figures 76048 Iron Skull Sub Attack - Complete with all figures 76049 Avenjet - Complete with all figures 76050 Crossbones Hazard Heist - Complete with all figures 76051 Super Hero Airport Battle - Complete with all figures 76032 Quinjet City Chase - Complete with all figures 76038 Avengers Tower - Complete with all figures 60051 High Speed Train - Complete 31026 Bike Shop - Complete 31025 Mountain Hut - Complete ...as well as several other sets as I keep finding. There's also Star Wars figures that lead me to believe there's at least partial if not complete: 9493 X-Wing 8038 Endor Bunker 8095 Grievous Starfighter 75019 AT-TE There's some Chima and Ninjago that I don't have a clue about too... I'll see how I get on with that stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Britain Posted January 13, 2017 Damn @Robianco, that's an absolutely crazy haul!! You've certainly hit the jackpot. If you want to part with the Milano only I might be interested Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ludzik Posted January 14, 2017 I have a Milano I could part with- it's short minifigs... though I'm stateside. Anyways I'm in Costco the other day and I tripped over 75149 brand new in a box for $35. The only one they had. That was about 3 weeks before Christmas. I snatched it as some crazed mother of two was zeroing in on it as well :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capparezza Posted January 19, 2017 One Cypress tree with Road signs from this service pack, 3x fruit trees, 3x large pines, 1x small pine, 2 palm leaves + several minifig accessories and a traffic cone for 10 €, all in pretty good condition. Cypress tree alone makes up for that price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samurai-turtle Posted January 22, 2017 Well I guess this belongs here. I was in a Meijer store looking around at the clearance stuff. At one point I spotted a table with clearance items. Then a couple minutes later at the same table some Elves sets were put out. The main one I spotted is 41180 Ragana's Magic Shadow Castle for $50. (So, I guess it is dumb luck that I got one.)
