Legoman Posted August 5, 2010 All complete in original box with instructions. Thank's craigslist! Wow thats an incredably nice find. I'm also curious, how much did you pay? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JCC1004 Posted August 5, 2010 I don't know if this counts as a deal since I got it through coupons and giftcards but I got PoP Alamut for 26 dollars at Barnes and Noble.com! I had a 25 dollar gift card I got somewhere and used the 40% off code FBTB.net posted. Nice surprise to get such a good deal on a set. Never had anything like this happen before.

Thrund Posted August 5, 2010 My best bargains so far have been the original 7140 X-Wing for £1 in a charity shop (it wasn't complete, was missing most of the utility cart and the Biggs minifig, but the ship, Luke and R2 were all there. My guess is it was left made up and the bits that weren't attached got lost) and the Titan XP creator set for 99p on Ebay (although the £9 shipping charge turned that from a stupid bargain into merely a good deal).

vexorian Posted August 8, 2010 (edited) I picked a bag containing complete jet slizer, krana-less green bohrok, a vahki without a weapon and a 2004 matoran in sealed box for 2.85 USD. It was at the open street in the usual resale fair that is on Sundays in El Alto. There were plenty of bags with random stuff like that, but I have already spent a lot for this month even though the first half of it has not ended yet. At first, I didn't want this bag, I thought the vahki canister and the matoran box were rubbish added to increase the volume of the bag. But I took a close look to the contents of the canister and was able to see Jet's face! Was very excited as Jet, Spark and Millenia are the only slizers I couldn't collect and at least jet's head would allow me to try mocing a new version. At home I was shocked to find that jet was complete (turns out it was in storage mode and hidden inside the canister) and that the matoran box was actually sealed... I would have paid twice as much for just the slizer. I am kinda regretting I didn't buy the other bags. Edited August 8, 2010 by vexorian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

badboytje88 Posted August 11, 2010 Are you going to go back and pay for the other 10? Nope, I didn't notice until I was nearly home. If I'd noticed at the register, I would have said something about it. By the way it was not my fault they messed up. They bagged em up separately for my, to it was 2 x 16 figs (2x the complete serie) and 8 favorites. So if he can't ad 16 witch 16 and ad 8, that's not my fault. You shouldn't, It is not your fault they messed up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slopemodified Posted August 24, 2010 (edited) 2 weeks ago, I went to my local Big W (discount department store) in Australia, and found a beat-up 7642 Garage set in the clearance cart/trolley. It was going for AUD$40, down from the over-priced $140 RRP. The catch: it was missing one bag of parts (half of the tow truck ) and the baseplates. But everything else was there... As though to compensate for the missing bag, a bag of completely unrelated parts was thrown in for no reason, from SP3 Container Heist. More spare parts! Plus 4 minifigs - 2 of Snake, and 2 Officers! It looked like someone had opened up 2 boxes of this set, put some of it together, and then abandoned it. There was double the amount of some parts, but half of others. A rare and lucky thing to find Lego in the clearance cart, I'd say! Edited August 24, 2010 by slopemodified Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KartoffelViking Posted August 24, 2010 My best find so far was at Target Springwood (Brisbane, Australia) in April this year, where I picked up two Crawler Cranes for 30 AUD each. They're 100 AUD rrp. Ah, sweet memories Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KartoffelViking Posted August 25, 2010 (edited) That's fantastic! Were they on clearance? I don't think so. The price on the shelf was the normal $80 (I believe), but it scanned at $30. My eyes nearly popped out of my head and I quickly picked the two they had left. Never saw them for $30 at any other Target, so perhaps it was a local stuff-up? Although I thought these things were controlled centrally these days. But the lesson I learned, of course, and which I see people recommend anyway, is to always scan boxes just in case. I must look like a nut hanging around the LEGO isles walking back and forth between the shelves and the scanners Edited August 25, 2010 by KartoffelViking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
