Re: Lego CMF S9

Lego Store in Schaumburg, IL had them last night. I grabbed 16 randomly and ended up with 8 unique. No Chicken Suit Guy though. :( Really enjoy the cop more than I thought I would, could definitely see a whole police station staffed with these guys. The Knight is very cool, I like the design on the ...

Thanks for the heads up! I've been waiting for a nice sale on the Hearse, 20% is good enough for me!

Now if we have a good one on the Werewolf and the Mad Monster, I'll be all caught up with Monster Fighters!

Re: Steal of a Deal / Recent LEGO Purchases

Woo-hoo!!! Just cracked open an auction lot off eBay, listing had no set numbers or instructions, but so far I've come across five of the figures from 7785-Arkham: Scarecrow, Ivy, Nightwing, Riddler, and one of the guards. For $77 shipped, even if that's all I get out of it, I'm still ahead of what ...

Re: [USA] LEGO Deals at Amazon Roundup

Just noticed Monster Fighters 9468 Vampyre Castle is $84.25 (16%)!

Finally hit the 15% discount I was looking for...now I just need to score a Wolfman, Hearse and a Monster/Scientist set in the next two weeks at 15% or more and my Halloween Village will be done!

Re: LEGO Batman Arkham Asylum Breakout 10937

I couldn't be more excited for this set! With the first Arkham commanding such a premium, this is a steal at retail. On top of which, it's a major upgrade from the original! This will fit beautifully with the Haunted Mansion in my little Halloween Village next year. So, so happy with this design.......

Re: Barnes and Noble - LOTR with 15% off

Many thanks to all who posted, just put in my order for Weathertop and Moria!

I wasn't thinking we'd see any good discounts on these so soon since they've just released...these "steals" are making it hard to replenish the toy funds when they come so close together! :)

Re: Lego Minifigure Packages packs vs. boxes

I'm thinking that we're fortunate that cardboard boxes are more expensive than pouches! Also that there seems to be one element to each minifigure that is unique, thus making the "grab and grope" method pretty accurate. As we were opening Series 5 the other day, I commented on how I was gl...
