ISO8T0 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 So I didn't get scooped, whew. Picked them up today: Porsche 911 GT3RS (the main box was open, but doesn't look like the 5 inner boxes were even touched), 24-Hour LeMans (box opened, bags sealed), used Ferrari F-40 (complete w/ box & extra pieces), and used Technic Heavy Helo (complete w/ box and extras). $375. I'll definitely keep the F-40 to go with VW's and Mini. I'll definitely move the Helo on. I'll probably build, then sell the 24. The 911 is the hard choice, I could sell it easily and quickly for $300 as-is, sell the Helo for $75 and break even with a "free" F-40 and anything I got on the 24 would be profit, but man I want to build that bad boy. I was amazed at how big it was when I saw it at the Lego Store, thought it would be slightly bigger than the Creator cars. That massive manual is currently calling my name from the table 3 feet away. Thoughts? Keep. Next question. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're going to want that Porsche for your personal collection at some point..... If you think about it that way, that's like $75 for the other three sets. They will make a great looking display. Besides, you already told us you want the F40 to go with your other creator cars. You're literally out no money to keep the 24 hour race car and cargo helo. 6 minutes ago, pstebbing said: Keep.

Guest TabbyBoy Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) 20x Dr Who sets due to a pricing error on Tesco's website which they honoured (and fixed quickly). They worked out at £14.13 each! Edited August 30, 2016 by TabbyBoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biking_tiger Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Funny that the DDC listing isn't one of the first few when you search for "Lego Double Decker Couch" on Amazon. Fine with this guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordoflego Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 2x 75875 Ford F-150 Raptor & Ford model A hot rod @ tru.com for a total of $47.98 bogo 40% off, savemore (20%off), groupon $10 for $20 GC, 20% off GC. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedingman5 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) Finally sprung for 60052 / City Cargo Train @ TRU. Was 20% off, plus 20% SAVEMORE, plus Groupon (20 for 10) and 20% off GC knocked it down to $96 cash outlay. Feels like a win.

Haha! I picked up the exact same Speed Champions sets on my first try, but then cancelled and exchanged the LaFerrari for the 458, because I didn't like the fact that after SAVEMORE and BOGO40% I was still paying more than the $14.99 MSRP for the set (ok, if I had evened out the BOGO40% it would have been a slight discount), given that TRU's markup makes the set $19.99. Went for 458 because it has the less insane marked up price of $17.99, and together with my Minecraft sets it got me to $75.16 total to qualify for 20% off 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martae54 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Here is fun true story. Buy TRU GC off eBay ..order from TRU stacking 20% off with 20%..
