grabbed a dozen at the supermarket yesterday without really expected them to be there, managed to get 11 unique ones and went back for the last 5 today. I just need to resist getting 300 greek figures now.

I just was in a store that had a huge barrel full of the series 1 minifigures (germany). They must have had around a thousand of them left. I guess they overestimated demand here.

Went looking for season 3 the other day, didn't find any but did see this: Either supply has been much higher here in europe, or demand lower, but I dont think any store has had issues with them immediately selling out

SubbyMinx posted:I have just worked out that Lego is a LOT cheaper in the US than it is in the UK. The exchange rate is such at the moment that I can buy sets in the US for about 2/3rds of the UK price. This is comparing the US and UK prices given by shop.lego.com. You forgot taxes, not sure if UK has them included in the displayed price, but in the US price on the website is without taxes. And then you need to consider the 1000000$ per gram overweight charge for the return flights. E: forget taxes, I think US doesn't need to pay taxes for online shopping, unlike here.

ireladd posted:Really just out of curiosity, I keep hearing of people buy tons of the minifigs. Is the goal to simply get a complete set and then sell off all others, or return the leftovers? What's the typical motivation with the bulk buy? It seems like a lot of work once you've gotten the 16 and maybe a few additional of your favorites. Because having an army of 30 forestmen and 30 spartans never gets old.

Not sure how the supply is in the us, but here in germany I could still pick up discounted season 2 and 3 figures a week ago, so global supply isn't that scarce.

Technic usually as one extra of every unique small part. Also, got shipping confirmation on my unimog, motorcycle, and flatbed truck. Expensive order but gonna be sooooo worth it.

Say what appeared to be most of a unitron monorail set at the fleemarket today, all the track was there, the vehicle itself as well with barely any pieces, so just the motor, battery box, and two ends, and a bunch of random half built space sets. Almost bought it for 40 euros, then decided to leave it. Kinda regretting it now, but oh well. Track alone probably would have sold for more, or I could have it drive around my desk all day.

My unimog was missing two panels, instead I got an extra bag of pins, they currently even have a webform you can fill out for missing parts and they will send em to you. Took about a week for them to arrive.

^^^^ The mini technic construction sets are wonderful for desks. Saw some of the hero factory stuff for 50% off and picked up two because I thought I could use the joints for my creator stuff, however apparently they just have massive multijointed pieces :/ Oh and picked up the atlantis game, I thought I'd give it a try and if it sucks it has alot of pieces for 50% off, has anyone tried it?

I am thinking of also getting a spare set or two, but my rule currently is only buy em when they are alot less than MSRP and also not to buy anything that I wouldn't mind opening in a few years if the prices dont go up. Pyro: do you know how to limit the sales to particular regions / countries?

Picked up two bags of mixed technic pieces from a used toy store for 20 euros, they contained most of the pieces for this (8436), and this 8453. One of the better deals I have found, I should be able to buy the missing parts for 5-10 euros or just use the pieces for mocs.
