Redhead1982 Posted October 17, 2013 I found Batman's Arkham Asylum (10937) for 130 EUR (30 EUR off the regular price) on local ''version'' of ebay.com. It was from an adult collection, with neatly applied stickers, instructions and the box. Needless to say it's mine now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pop Bumper Pete Posted October 27, 2013 Found a \city repair truck 3179 at the local shop box was a little worse for wear, but it was only about $12.00, they had a sale on so it only cost a little over $9.00 woot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SnapLock Posted October 28, 2013 I found A metroLiner complete with box in great condition for $30, However when i went to pick it up the seller had already sold it to another guy thinking it was me..........................I hate life! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Widdi Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) I found the yellow castle in good condition recently at the Bricking Bavaria in Munich. Well 119€ without box, and they won't get cheaper trough the years. The Price was ok for a set this old.Having found that one 35 years after it's release and being a early minifig era classic. All figures (Smileys with solid stud) and stickers included. Sadly 4 grey 1x1 plates and two 2x2 plates were missing, and one helmet was white instead of grey. But after some searching replaced the missing pieces with parts from my collection. Only the white helmet couldn't be replaced with a grey one, since I don't have the old minifig helmets from the late 70s/early 80s). Seems, that I have to go on the next bricking Bavaria and hoping to find some old city sets, these were all sold out this time. mFg Widdi Edited November 5, 2013 by Widdi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lego Otaku Posted November 9, 2013 1900's vintage lego? They must be wood bricks then ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LegoDad Posted November 10, 2013 Picked up 7094, 7079, 7097, and 8823 a while back at a garage sale, $20. Tattooed trolls were there, sadly, most of the other figures were not. Sets were about 99% complete, only a handful of pieces to complete them. Already have King's Castle Siege, but getting Troll Mountain Fortress was cool.

Robianco Posted November 12, 2013 Ii picked up a 9497 Jedi Striker Class fighter a couple of weeks ago for £7 from a store near me. They normally reduce items randomly and this was the last one they had in the stock room. I arrived about 15 mins after it had been put up. It was reduced from the £10 they had them originally listed for. Also picked up Council of Elrond there for £15. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really like 9497 as it's definitely one of my favorite LEGO sets and 79006 looks like a sweet set, and is actually on my want list! ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carrera124 Posted November 16, 2013 2 days ago, I found a sealed 8460 at eBay, BIN 30€: http://www.ebay.de/itm/181261928772 As the box is heavily worn, I would call it rather "ISB" than "MISB". But I want to build it anyway, and all contents are sealed (the postman delivered it today ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jluck Posted November 16, 2013 On eBay last night I found the series 1 zombie and crash test dummie, the series 2 spartan, and the court jester all for $20, including shipping! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lego Otaku Posted November 17, 2013 I had this a few months ago but just got around to sorting them out. It was in a $5 bin (bin included, probably worth $5 at Walmart) and after tossing aside imitation transformers and playmobile I ended up with about 6 pounds of clean LEGO plus several instruction manual. Some manuals are for sets that weren't included so it may have been in another tub I didn't see or was already sold. What I got for sure are: (based on partial assembled sets and verifying against Bricklink inventory) 4721 Hogswart Classroom 4735 Slytherin 4706 Forbidden Corridor These 3 seems complete but I'd have to put together most of the partial assemblies to find out. The 3 headed Fluffy is included =) Also 5955 vehicle only, no minifig, dinosaurs, or other parts. I have the instruction for: 5955, 4792, 4606, 6520, and 4735 plus a 2001 catalog All for only $5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nobody Posted November 27, 2013 Yet to find anything substantial so far, have to check out more charity shops and car boots. However a few weeks back I did find a single Series 5 minifigure packet in Tesco, lying in the crisp section section no doubt. It had gone down to 80p as well. looked around for some others but all they had was series 10 and 11. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hobbythom Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) Bought a box containing six sets for 90€. The ad said It contained the first snowspeeder, speederbikes, two adenturers sets the imperial flagship (old one) and the skulls eye schooner. By itself not a bad deal at all. Imagine my surprise when I started rummaging through the box and found additional red and white sails in pristine condition. Checked the hull parts to find an extra ship. Looked at some parts and realised the box also contained a black seas barracuda! I bought three classic ships for 90€! Sails in pristine condition too!

Dr Leg O Brick Posted January 9, 2014 Great deal Hobbythom ! The price for the Schooner and BSB is ridiculous nowadays, particularly on eBay. They usually go for £200, each.

Freddy Bricker Posted February 3, 2014 I was wondering if anyone had ever been to or worked at a store that can help me with this: I really want certain minifigures and don't want most of the sets they come in, when going to a toy store, I notice that a lot of boxes are broken or ripped open and I was wondering if by any chance, store owners or managers keep these sets to sell or throw them out. In the case that they throw them out, do you think they'd be willing to let me have a peek at some broken boxes and keep a minifigure or two for my collection? I know I'd have to pay them something, but I think it'd be faster than bricklink and cheaper than buying a set that I know I don't want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
