If anyone finds a Fight for the Dagger for cheap (especially $3.00!) please let me know. I'll take one. It's the only one I need for the full PoP set. Thanks!

As for the paint debate, good point on melting them down. Never thought of that.

I keep hoping that Target decides to clearance the older Kingdoms sets that are getting harder to find at their stores, but it looks like they weren't clearanced this round and probably won't last until the summer clearance.

I only saw the Kings Castle on clearance at one Target out of the many I visited. I'm sure they might go on clearance later on this year, it doesn't seem Lego really cares about this theme after this next wave.

Yeah, $20 is a silly price when they can be had at Walmarts for $12 easily. There are 4 or 5 at $12 at the Walmart near me as of yesterday.

^ Hmmmm.... The last time I checked (the beginning of the month) both sets were $18 and out of stock.

There's a ton of those and Buzz's at all the Wal*Marts in my area. I guess nobody knows they are just $12.

My Target, which was OVERFLOWING with clearance sets a few days back, Galactic Enforcer, Squid Gateway and Claw Catcher at 50% off, was cleaned out. And there had to be at least 25+ of each set. I picked up GE at $50 earlier, and thought for sure I could pick up some others later. The entire post-xmas toy clearance section (two full aisles, both sides) was gone. One TINY end-capper was all that was left, some lousy Dora junk was all that remained.

Just proves, if you see cheap LEGO, you gotta buy it, it won't be there tomorrow.

New thread! I'll miss the OP's "Does anyone know where to buy cheap Lego? Like a CAG for Legos?" post. That old thread got me SOOOO many LEGO deals.

I don't know if this is old news, but I saw series 3 minifigs for 2.99 at TRU. Maybe it's universal since the website lists it as 2.99 as well. It could be worthwhile for those that are still looking but did not want to spend the 3.99 TRU markup.

I believe BigDaddy's quote was in relation to his ongoing vendetta against the members of Eurobricks, who cast him out and exiled him from the forums, leaving him to wander in the dark wilds of non-European LEGO discussion .. sort of like the Lion King except it's hard to equate Big with royalty

I was gonna say....Power Miners was pretty much ALL orange and lime green.....and Atlantis was red and lime green....and Space Police had purple in a few sets. While I wish there were more purple bricks available, I think there was some issue with the purple bricks at one point, if I'm not mistaken...so that's probably why we don't see it as much....plus the fact that purple isn't the easiest color to pull off...its not like it would fit in with a lot of different themes.

Maybe that's why they stopped the Batman line. Joker used it.

Picked up a lone Undercover Cruiser yesterday at kmart for a dollar. The cashier scanned it three times and asked if it was marked clearance or in the clearance section. She was very suspicious of me and my girlfriend, like we somehow hacked kmarts computer system. She called another girl over to check the price at the shelf and proceeded to make sure our $20 bill was not counterfit with the little pen. This is at a kmart way out in the middle of nowhere in the country too, haha.

You can't have a vendetta against retards, it's just not fair to them.

Plus I was banned after they asked on their homepage if Star Wars should continue. I said no so LEGO can make their own Space sets better. The SW mod i never heard of then banned me for having a bad attitude! I mean really?!

That was the second time I was banned. I rejoin every few years to hope adults took over the site but never such luck. Let's have 15 pages of speculation on Kingdoms, a core theme that just started, ending because we don't have any pictures by October! The have the mods come in and support the insanity. Now they have a color guy and everyone goes "that actually makes sense! Great job!". No it doesn't! There is little purple because using dyes on the plastic made them not match (the Harry Potter bus).

Everyone tries to forget about Power Miners so no orange or lime there.

It's why I like this thread, we use common sense (for the most part) on what goes on.

On kmart being nuts. There have been a few guys who printed out USB barcode stickers and stole hundreds of thousands of dollars in Lego that way.

It's too bad Kmart doesn't carry the Imperial Flagship...I'm sure we could convince them it was an undercover cruiser and get it for a dollar. I kid, I kid.

I'd actually be ok with that. If the person working us so dumb they can't count not your fault.

But at least two guys would print out the barcodes for $20 sets and stuck them on $100 sets. Target never questioned it.

But you're WRONG (according to them)! Therefore, they must punish you by banishing you from their community. This thread is the only place I really socialize in about Legos. I may browse other sites, but for the most part CAG is full of reasonable people so I'd rather be here.

Found these pics from last June when we were reorganizing my sons room. These are all the unopened sets we had at the time...we've built a few since then but added a ton more this past holiday season.

My wife called it The Hall of Shame.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot... the Steelers!

Geebus, that's a lot of unopened legos. I'm annoyed that I missed the city corner price error at Target... I happened to say to my wife "Oh, look at this.. this reminds me a lot of the ones I had as a kid, and If this one ever drops I'd like to pick it up for BattleChicken Jr."

It just so happens it was priced wrong the moment I said that.. I didn't scan it, though, so I missed out. FEEL BAD FOR ME.

Now you do have to admit that you have a bad attitude when it comes to SW sets. I don't see that as any reason to ban you, but it is undeniable.
Maybe I am wrong, but it seems as though there is almost no mod who monitor us in here though, which is odd for a thread that gets as much use as this one does.
