Yeah, at this point I think I'm better off just ordering off Bricklink. It might be a little more per figure, but at least I know what I'm getting.
I use ebay for CMF, and the most premium I pay is maybe $1 more per fig. But if you preorder early usually you can get close to MSRP
Finished the Razor Crest. It's huge. I wasn't expecting it to be so large. It also killed any desire I had for the Haslab so $350 saved there lol.
The first half of next year is pretty boring in terms of sets, IMO. The only thing I might get would be the Ninjago Guardian Village with the snake-themed cave. On the other hand, that’s more money saved for Kingdom and Studio Series.
Friend and I went on a bit of a Lego clearance hunt today. Came out with: 3x Lego Classic 1500+ ($40) 1x Lego City Donut Shop ($45) 1x Ghost Train ($45) Well, he mostly came out with everything. I just grabbed one of the Classic sets. Found a Bat Cave set, but the $60 clearance price was only at one of the Walmart we went to that had 5 in stock, but none could be found there. The Walmart we found it at, can't price match so no luck there. The 1500+ Classic set was clearanced at $40, but Costco sells the same set minus the 4 small plates for around $50. Original Walmart retail price is $70, I think.
Some Lego Dimensions-style MOCs: The DeLorean is heavily based on the official build. I always thought K.I.T.T. and the A-Team van sucked so I went my own direction (wish I could find color-matched wheels for them).
I've been watching Bionicle and Hero Factory videos lately and now I cry myself to sleep because I doubt if I'll ever get to buy buildable figures and make MOCs ever again.
Well, I bought a Harry Potter CMF Series 2 blind bag and got Albus Dunbledore. But for some strange reason, his torso assembly and beard are missing, even though the polybag was sealed! Why, LEGO?
Wow that sucks - literally has never happened to me in all of my CMF collecting. I'd contact customer service to see what they can do.
I saw the 3in1 Space Rover Explorer yesterday and almost bought it. Quite a tempting set and kinda fits in with the space theme they have.
I need to get that retro Destiny's Bounty to enhance the Ninjago Movie Destiny's Bounty, got ideas to mix them together for an awesome DIY build
