What did you buy today?

Recommended Posts

Do you know how long the sales will last? Planning to got on the 1st of Jan for the collectible minifigs. And do you know if chassis parts are available?

Also (well you were) a Lego store virgin. And how much is a PAB (I'm assuming pick a brick) cup cost? Sorry for all the q's!

I don't think there's a time limit on the clearance since they have to get rid of those sets, but I'm not sure the sets will last until Jan 1! Didn't spot any chassis parts, but they might have been there. The store I went to is the Rockefeller Center one, and it was completely crazy.

Pick-a-brick was $16 for a big cup and $8 for a small cup. I don't have the cups in front of me, but I'd guess the big cup is about a liter.

I'm getting very concerned about how much I've spent on Lego - you know you have a problem when you keep on buying and have no idea how much you have left in the bank!

Anyway, today's haul was 31 S3 minifigs in total (16 from Westfield, 15 from Bluewater), a discounted 7570 (Ostrich Race), a jester keyring (also discounted) and two large PAB cups.

Ah I see. Which did you get? So they aren't weighed?

Also, I got the Lego Jan 11 mag, and it had said the minifigures are on the 6-9th of the month? I thought they are out on the first or does the online store have it out first, followed by the Lego stores (it was on page 42).

EDIT Found a pic of a cup, is this the large or the small?

That's the big cup, $16. I got one big one. And no, they don't weigh them. Whatever you can fit in the cup is legit. They put a top on it at the cash register, and I guess the top has to fit. It doesn't take quite as many pieces as it looks like, because there is a hollow for a super-sized stud on the bottom (the top has a stud, so they stack).

The guy I spoke to at the store was expecting Series 3 on January 1, but I don't think he was sure about it.

Good hunting to you!

I bought an Imperial Flagship with two gift cards ($140), VIP points ($15), and $40 of my own money at my local Lego store.

I also bought Kraken Attackin' and Cannon Battle at TRU because I know Pirates is going away. I was in my dark age until October you see. I really want Brickbeards Bounty at least...

I wanted to get Skeleton Bowling but the Lego store didn't have any so I got Battle For Geonosis. As it turns out that had the new S3 minifigures so I got the Hula Dancer.

I got 15 of the new collectible monitors at my TRU during the new years buy 2 get one free sale. I'm pretty sure I both am missing about 4 of them and also have a couple duplicates. Reading the new dimples and fondling bags is pretty rough.

Today I bought a 5866 Rotor Rescue set for 33% (1/3) off at my local Tescos; it was £5.92 instead of the RRP of £8.99. I think that it is a great set. :classic:

Given John Lewis a helping hand with those Ostrich Race sets: two of them ordered for pickup. My collection requires more ostrich.

I just scored a great deal at Borders and got my second Ostrich Race for little more than $7! :sweet:

Anyone interested in some ostriches?
