Nobody was getting mad at you, there is absolutely no need to apologize, this thread is pretty civil. A lot of us have been lucky one point or another, it was just your turn.

Those stupid aliens cost that much? I picked those up Kmart as well for around that much. I let my daughter play with them though, the only one she is missing from the original story line is Rex.

So it looks like there is only going to be 5,000 golden minifigures available.

Technically, with Lego you need as much as you can get your hands on, seeing as those bricks can be used for MOCs or whatever. I would have cleaned out that Wal-Mart's $5 stock as well, that's less than a penny per brick on some of those sets!

My local Target did have Helm's Deep, but still retail price. :/

Hoping the weather stays okay tomorrow... That snowstorm shifts just a little north or east and I'm screwed, and I really want to get to that Walmart tomorrow (even though my paycheck is going straight to my car insurance).

Does anywhere besides TRU and the Lego Store sell Technic sets? I've wanted to pick one up and build it, but it seems they're only available at TRU around here. The new Grand Prix Racer looks pretty interesting too, considering I'm a huge Formula-1 fan.

Also, I just noticed that the Mandalorian Fighter is $39.97 on walmart.com. Has anyone built this set? It looks pretty cool, and I could always use more Mandalorians.

TRU and Lego are the only ones that sell Technic now. Apparently it's now considered a TRU exclusive.

The Mandalonian Fighter was one of the sets I picked up, it looks really cool, haven't built yet, and it looks really similar to T-6 Jedi Shuttle, which I had a lot of fun building and is a really cool set.

Does anyone have any thoughts on the Police Forest Station and the Fire Plane?

Zeldafanatic, like skiizim said, there is no need to apologize. I know many of us here love hearing about great finds like yours, even if we do get a bit jealous

I like the Police Forest Station, although they could have integrated the logs a little better than it just being a few corner supports. It also comes with a bear.

I don't really like the Fire Plane that much. I don't necessarily dislike it, it's just one of those sets for me where if it's a super good deal I'd get it, otherwise I just don't care.

Looks like the storm stayed south, so I'll be able to hit that further away Walmart. The town is a lot bigger than I thought though, but still worth a look.

May you find great deals good sir!

Kingdoms Joust is $90 on Amazon. Guess I should've waited, rather than springing for the $103 Like New deal I got from AWD a few weeks ago. Oh well.

Sup fellas .. I was at Target to see if any of the Legos went on sale (Nope!) but manage to pick up some MegaBlok World of Warcraft sets that went on clearance which are the Demolisher Attack ($14) and Deathwing's Stormwind Assault ($30).

Never really bought anything outside Legos until recently in which I bought some Battlefield Kre-O sets which was ridiculous cheap at Walmart.

From what I built so far its not so great, after I assembled one of the two kits today, Demolisher Attack. The blocks are hard to assemble and even harder to take apart. My nephews just flat out gave up on MegaBloks and move back to his Lego and Kre-O sets.

So I would like to know what everyone opinion of MegaBloks sets/bricks? Do the other sets fare any better?

The only other sets from MegaBloks Im looking at is the StarCraft Universe sets that suppose to come out this Spring 2013. But if they are anything like the WoW sets, then I guess I can wait for the clearance sales.

I ordered the skiff, been waiting for a good deal on that one. Couple other sets on sale

28% off - Star Wars Desert Skiff $17.97 (reg. $24.99)
25% off – City Excavator Transport $29.97 (reg. $39.99)
20% off – Architecture Brandenburg Gate $27.97 (reg. $34.99)
20% off – Creator Seaside House $39.97 (reg. $49.99)
20% off – Spongebob Flying Dutchman $19.99 (reg. $24.99)

Personally, I think Megabloks majorly suck when compared to KRE-O and of course Lego. I did buy some clearance Smurf ones just for the minifigs and the bricks hold together like shit. I tossed all the pieces in the trash and only kept the minifigs and accessories. I'm planning on making a decent Smurf mushroom village out of Lego bricks instead.

The only worthwhile megabloks sets are the recent Halo ones. The Xth anniversary warthog is really nice, the Longsword launchpad is decent, and I am currently in the process of building the Forward Unto Dawn which is really neat. (Its built in two halves and both halves connect and are breakable along with a removable roof to display the figures inside.)

Thanks for the tip! I finally broke down and ordered 2 for my collection. Probably won't get much better than 25% off, and may go OOP soon with the next Castle series coming soon.

I have no recent experience with Mega Bloks but my ons had a couple Halo sets from a few years ago and they sucked. Bricks do not hold together well.
I have a couple of Transformers Kreo sets, much better than Mega Bloks but not as good as Lego.

I'm no brick snob, this is CAG afterall, I'd bathe in cheap knockoffs if I could. But apparently, only Lego has actually figured out how to make plastic interlocking blocks that actually, you know, interlock.

I would pick up the chess set as well.

I already did when it first came out. But thanks!
