Made out preety good i think!

[5150 Lego]

So for my girlfrineds graduation of here nursing school, i took her to here favorite store at the mall for some shopping. The store just happened to be in the same mall that the lego store. X-D After she was done with her shopping, i decided to do some of my own. Ireally just wanted togo through the pic your parts,since there was a few parts i needed for a prodject i'm doing. Unfortunutly,they didn't have the parts i needed, but i found a couple in a some small set bags to build a duck,and a rabbit. You know, the sets they have for like $2?

I bought 4 bags,so the total was 8 bucks and some change.

"this is is smallest amount i've seen you spend here!" The lego employee said.

"Ya,and all i need is like 4 parts or so from each bag."

Really? Hold on to your money a sec, and follow me". She took me to the back room,and showed me a few sets they had taken down from the display. "You see any parts you need from these?"

"Umm...No. Nothing really." I replied.

"Well,these are old display items, you can have them if you want."

I was in shock. Turns out that they were getting ready to redo there hole store in a batman theme,so they were changing there hole displays. When there done with the old displays, the give them away! X-D X-D X-D

So in all, i left with a bionicle fort, a Bellvile house (great cabniets,and other house pieces that will work great in my Techinc 5th wheel trailer!) 2 exo force robots, a ferrari pit stop, a 1:17 Enzo, and an XXl Mobile crane! All for free! The only bad ting is that the feet of the Exo force sets are glued toegther, and soare the outriggers on the crane. :-( Oh well.I already have an XXL crane,and the exo force i'll justs scrap them for parts. I also got a peek of some batman sets already built going up in there new display!

I dont think threads like these are allowed, and should be locked before hundreds of threats begin raining in! :-D

No seriously, thats one of the coolest things Ive ever heard! :) If only the shop employees were the same here... And they rebuild the shops all the time... :-(

Damn, and I thought I was lucky when Media Play sold me "Record and Play" 4095 for $1.79 and "Motor Movers" 4094 for $7.85 4 months ago.

(Boxes were banged up, and someone accidentally labeled the clearance prices on them waaaay too low; they honored them and I didn't even argue about it. I'm betting that some employee purposely marked them down so he could grab them later.)
