Local store just added the Special Edition Castle set with Troll at 30% off yesterday.

Lucky. I so want that Firehouse.

I was in Wal-Mart two weeks ago trolling for Clearance games. I went to the legos and was able to score a Airport set for $35. It was open but I did a quick count and looked mostly complete. It was missing only one Base Plate which (bravo Lego ) replaced for me. I got it in a week. Awesome best score, ever. I was able to get the Train sets for 50% online.

My Targets have the worst selection.

I have the Green Grocer (current Build) and the Cafe Corner. They are expensive but cheap per brcik. I never thoguht about thrift stores and garage sales. Thanks for the Tips.

I am quite very jealous about the airport !!!

My best bets have always been the buy 2 get 1 free deals at TRU.

I saw the Firehouse clearance priced at a Target just in the last week for something like 50% off....and I didn't buy it.

D'oh!

I bought it last fall for $43 and it's a pretty nice set, I love the return of the garage doors.

I'm going to stop by Target Tomorrow. The one near me didn't have anything worth of value (to me). It was mostly Bioancle and Star Wars.

Yea. I actually didn't see it when I was looking around. Something caught my eye and I noticed it, could not believe my luck.

I scored during the last B2G1, but my local TRU has zero selection, I had to Head to Tacoma to get a resonable amount.

How often does TRU do sales on lego (mostly the B2G1)?

I actually still have all the pieces and the original instructions to that castle as well. My Lego collection dates back to the days where the minifigs didn't have arms. I'm actually lucky in that my girlfriend understands the need to build/play with Lego.

Not often. I seem to think once a year - October-ish - for the B2G1.

And luckily, I live in north Austin where I can easily get to 3 TRUs.

This thread is going to, at the very least, lead me to dig out my Legos and at least take stock of what I still have.

I'm 28 now and have been getting Legos since I was about 4. I haven't gotten much since the Star Wars Legos first debuted but I think I still have all of them in their boxes. Going further back I had a ton of the Forestmen and Castle sets.

Since I started my lego site I've realized one thing: I need some more legos.

That set has a lot of colors and basic bricks

http://shop.lego.com/ByTheme/Product.aspx?p=5585&cn=306
This one has pink

If you want a wide variety of basic bricks, get those. I gotta see if Target has them. Thank you $5 off coupon.

^ Nice site! Do you keep everything you've built for display or do you end up taking them apart?

Take 'em apart. Because I don't have enough legos, and I have made over 100 things now and if I hadn't taken them apart, I would be gluing them to the wall by now. But thanks.

Unfortunately finding plain bricks in stores is hard for some reason. I'll have to order those sets online. Graba.

I never see plain brick packs in stores either. What's some of the stuff you've designed?

You may have seen me on Kotaku with Mother Brain. And yes, it is a shame that you can't find plain brick packs in store. I'll have to order off of Lego.com

Those sets are a ripoff!

I remember 2-3 years ago when there were 1000 piece brick sets for $20, some had special gold pieces, others had 500+ random pieces in weird colors (pink and purples).

However $15 for 216 pieces is just a ripoff.

I thought I had seen that Mother Brain before!

Yeah, the 1000s are gone for some stupid reason. I want the pink and purples back. I only would buy the 216 one for some pink. Hopefully they'll have some of those again. The 650 piece one is decent though.

For those that have a Fred Meyer nearby, I was able to find a few sets on Clearance. The Bremerton, WA FM had at least 7 different sets on Clearance. At the time I purchased they had an additional 40% of clearance prices. YMMV?

Mosaic (the deluxe)
15.97

City Heavy Hauler
31.97

AguaRaiders Crab
15.97

Bionacle Figures
all I can remember is the packaging is orange

Creator Ferris Wheel
55.97

they had two more bionacle sets one 29.97 and the other was 44.97, but I don't recall the models or set numbers. I had to get back to work.
