Steal of a Deal / Recent LEGO Purchases

[Timetempest]

Stopped by Kmart and found two sets (Kingdoms Prison Tower Rescue and Star Wars Hoth Wampa Set) with clearance stickers on them. They were still set at full price so I figured I'd try them out at the register to see if they rang up with the 30% clearance deal, but unfortunately they didn't. I brought it to the managers attention and she said someone probably used the wrong price gun and allowed the 30% discount. Walked away with both for $65 and change. Not too shabby. I only wish I had the $5 off printable coupon with me. :/

bot a slave 1 8097 using the 40% Borders coupon. also applied the 10% personal shopping day. and i previously bot gift cards $50 free $10. listed price was $95, so total out-of-pocket is $95 - $38 (40% off) - $5.70 (additional 10%) - $8.55 (1- $50/$60) = $42.75. not too shabby... around 46% d/c.

I got the twilight sealed for 50 dollars and free shipping on ebay about a year ago when it was full price. :D Unfortunately I didn't like it that much. :(

Went looking for CMF Series 2 today at a TRU and scored a Series 1 Zombie! :D

Taking advantage of free shipping, received Green Grocer from Lego.com yesterday. I am afraid that it will be gone if I wait for special deal from lego.com. This is the most expensive lego set I have ever spent.

Box of the set is huge. Will not open until Christmas.

By the way, I am surprised that CMS1 is still available from TRU.

I have to say, Green Grocer is, IMO, the best set I've ever owned. A wealth of pieces as well as new building techniques, with very little frustration.

This isn't recent, but I managed to pick up the Mobile Command Center and the Temple of the Crystal Skull for half price on last year's Black Friday from TRU and Target respectively.

[BrickUpdate]

Have been eyeing this set for awhile: Medieval Market Village. Seems to be an incredible number of pieces for the price, and a really fun set.
