Your right in the vip faq it suggest up to a 24 hour delay. But the vip overlaps from the 12th to the 15th so I actually have a small room for delay. I thought points could not be used on the purchase they are earned on... So if I had 0 points I bought 100.00 worth of stuff the next purchase I would have a 5.00 discount available. Thats how it worked with my purchases to earn the 149 I currently have. I initially thought about making 4 purchases and using vip points on each provided I receive the points quickly. But that way only seems to net 50.00 worth of discount including the 5.00 I am starting with. By purchasing 3 sets at once combined with my 149 vip I currently have nets 55.00 worth in discount. Plus points for later.

I am new to the lego world at least since I was much younger. The last set I built was the Arkham Asylum. With the new DC Superheroes I have found my way back to lego's. I honestly blame a friend who bought the Catwoman chase then had me put it together for him (he has big hands and little patients with tiny objects.) So since building that innocent little set I have found the collectable minifigure series, the city sets and of course more DC sets. The modular sets have interested me now. I love the intricate details. I do not plan to get the more expensive sets Green Grocer, City Cafe. But I do want the new Town Hall, Grand Emporium, Pet shop, and I am starting to want the Fire Brigade. I have give it lots of thought and weighed options to find the best prices. With Lego S@H free shipping over lapping double vip I plan to buy all 4 modular buildings. I realize that's 649.96 but I have ran the numbers and figure I can get it for 594.96...55.00 off. I currently have 149 vip points. If I make 2 purchases first Town Hall, Pet Shop and Grand Emporium that will net me 997 vip points combined with my 149 is 1146 which is 55.00s to put on Fire Brigade since its out of stock currently. I realize this is not more a which should I buy its more of a can anyone see a better way of getting them for less? I realize a a TRU BOGO would be cheaper however last TRU BOGO they only had the Grand Emporium in stock for most of it and I missed out on that. TRU is also more of an anomaly with how it will be shipped. UPS cause me problems with delivery, but postal would be fine. They do not indicate either. TRU will also charge me tax. So without buying more to get more vip points can anyone see a combination to get the sets cheaper? Sorry for the length of the post.

I initially found Series 6 at TRU but they want 3.49 each. Ouch! But I bought 2 anyway mainly because I had to have the robot and minotaur. I took the package to a Target and scanned it and lucked up and was told it was in the backroom. So I asked an employee to bring it out which they denied however they went and got 10 packs for me. At Target they are 2.99. I lucked out and a friend wanted the extra Robot I got. So I went back the next day and they brought out the shelf hanger box. I got to pick through it and scored the rest of what I wanted. It was nice going through a virgin box. My hands were the first to feel up the packages. I probably stood there at least 45 minutes feeling up the pack. I was trying to find certain figures for me and a friend. I took my time and only ended up with 1 surprise. I thought I was feeling the Genie's bottle but it turned out to be the arm of the bear with the Sleepyhead kid. But its ok I needed a second bear for Bane minifig....now Bane has Osito

I love this wave!!! I cannot wait for it to be released. I need the bunny suit for a thug in the Jokers fun house.

Thanks for the review. I am loving this series. I think by far my favorites:Clockwork Robot, Leprechaun, Surgeon and Genie. Saturday I finally found the remaining figures I wanted and after thinking about it that only left out 2 figures. So I figure now I might as well complete the series. I still need a 2nd Surgeon too.

Thanks for talking about bricklink. I am new/old to the world of lego. When I originally collected they didnt have PAB or bricklink. I had made a couple orders with PAB and was happy however after reading about bricklink I think I am happier to use it. I will still more then likely use both.

I hope the US Toyfare previews more of the Marvel lego sets.

That is a great mod! You made an awesome set even better.
