And Hagrid is like two minifigs.

Know what I got for $5 at Walmart? 5 series 8 figures. Yeah thats it. An employee told me that the store should have 38 packs but I could only find 5.

I can't find anything at Target..
They had a couple Mando battle packs for around $8, but I scored 8 of them at 2 different Walmarts when they were around $6 each. Have me a nice little army now

I just started building Helm's Deep tonight. I have been building it for about 3 hours now.
It is EASILY the greatest set I have ever had. The detail and realism is just amazing. Can't wait to have my 45 Rohan soldiers try to defend it from my 63 Uruk-Hai (thx bricklink!)!!!!

You need to get another one and combine the two to make it more to scale.

I have found absolutely zero legos on clearance. I think I will have to stop reading this thread or I might have to hang myself.

I think people here need to calm the down. It's LEGOs, it's plastic, calm down, get ed, have a drink and calm the down.

No need to be hostile. This is a thread intended for people who enjoy LEGOs and want to find deals on them. This thread subsequently is on a website dedicated to finding things as cheap as possible.

You should know this since you have been around since 2006

I'm thinking someone had too much to drink tonight.

WTH? Some chick find you attractive and wouldn't let down?

Sinece this is unrelated I guess I'll make it a double post, but what is with all the love for Helms Deep? I have the set and it is alright, but I have the Kingdoms castle, the previous Castle castle and the Vampyre castle, plus some other sets you could compare it to like the Mill Village Raid, the City of Atlantis and the Kingdoms Joust, and of all of those sets I mentioned, it is easily my least favorite. It just seems like it goes together oddly and fails to capture the thing that it is supposed to be. Though the rest of you seem to disagree with me so maybe there is something that I am missing.

no one sees the smilie?

And I'm not the one talking about hanging myself, and stabbing things over not getting a deal. So yeah I'm the crazy drunken hostile one.

The Black Pearl was a decent deal at $50. I wish the masts had a little more support, but still a nice size set. A lot of extra pieces came with it I noticed, including quite a few swords.

Didn't get to that Walmart today. I'll head out that way after work tomorrow probably.

I am simply amazed by your clearance deals... I haven't really found anything worth posting about.

And ackbar7, I also have the two previous castles, but Helm's Deep is my favorite because of the many details. There are no BURPS at all and the building techniques are ones I hadn't seen before in a Lego set.

That Walmart $5 deal was amazing. Although why why WHY didn't you buy every single set that was $5, I mean every single one including multiples?!? The only thing better than a millennium falcon for $5 is multiple millennium falcons for $5 each.

That's my philosophy. If it's a good deal, I buy EVERYTHING I see. At $5, I'd have rented a uhaul!

The deals pretty much died down in my area. I revisited stores I'd made stock notes on and they were pretty much cleaned out by competitors. I can't complain, I got at least one of any particular set I wanted and got up to 25 of some sets like the landspeeder. I regret not buying more sith nightspeeders as I don't like the set but it has some unique minifigures that will probably increase its value.

I did get lucky two weekends ago at one WM that was right off the interstate. They had tons of pod racers, harbors, infiltrators, etc that were unmarked but rang for the 50%+ clearance prices. While in the store I ended up giving some sets from my cart to a guy who was with his gf who had just gifted him his first Lego for Xmas. He'd never had them as a kid and now he was hooked. Found a MF and Malevolence at another store for $79 as well which was a steal until someone got a MF for $5.

On another note, during an out of state work trip yesterday I found two masterpiece optimus primes at TRU, with the bogo 50% sale I got them for $97.50 each. A steal considering they're going for twice that on eBay.

BURP and POOP are my favorite LEGO acronyms. I don't know why....

My local Walmart had jack and shit on the shelf. I think I went way too late to catch any clearance items. But they historically have never done the $5 get it out of here sale ever.

Yay for people taking everything as opposed to what they need? Tis the American way I suppose ...

To be completely honest, I didn't believe him. And when he said those were $5, he only pointed to the Falcon and the Batcave. I'm not greedy so I didn't grab the other Falcon, and those were the only ones I really wanted, so when he told me that I ran to the front and sure enough they were. He did not say any of those other sets on the endcap were $5, just that the two I had were.

The lady who had the cart full of toys and Lego, a lot of those were sets from the actual Lego isle, none of them marked clearance. It turned out those other sets were $5, but I was a little too loate when I went back inside. Oh well, I'm thanking God for my lucky find and I am happy with what I have. Halfway through the Falcon and it is loads of fun. Needed it after the bad day I had, woke up to an email from my bank about some irregular charges. Turns out someone stole my debit card information and cleared my account of $600, which I'll get back eventually, but I guess that's karma kicking me for my good fortune yesterday.


And I'm sorry if I upset anyone. Didn't mean to make anyone jealous, I just wanted to share my good luck. And I have never found anything good on clearance before, but never stops me from looking, so if you think you'll never find anything, try again.

Probably my only other great deal I ever found was this.

Found it at a Kmart for ~$6, the box was faded, looked like it had been in a stockroom for a long time, but my fiancee loves the aliens from Toy Story, so I was thrilled.
