Idunno, but it gave me the idea to scavenger-hunt in my house!

Maybe there's an UCS Millenium Falcon lying around here somewhere :lol:

Oh boy, you don't want to see my Lego room then. I would guess that I have on the order of about 100 unopened sets, going back as far as the UCS Star Destroyer from 2002.

They will have gained 500 $ in value by now then.

I just don't get it. Everyone around here is so greedy about getting their hands on some Lego and suddenly they find unopened sets? I just find it weird...

Well, I used to go to the Lego store <a href='http://tinyurl.com/y42zurt'>alot</a>, (I work 10 mins away from one) and I would buy some cheap sets that were on sale for the parts and thrown them on the side until I needed them. But the Star Destoryer was different, I actuallly got 2 of them one I built (and then parted out) the other (which is in a great condition box) I decied to save for later. I probably might sell it later on if or when Lego stops making starwars sets.

I went to the Lego Store a couple days ago, and bought three Manta Warriors and another collectable minifig (Space Alien). Mantas were $2.00 each, and the store has a shelf filled with only those. ^_^

Also, Prince of Persia really did do badly. The store was still packed with its sets, even after two weeks and 50% off!

Well, I'm drooling in anticipation of what you're going to build with them.

Darth got that set five years ago on his birthday. He never touched it besides opening the box- I guess he thought it was too "complicated".

Also- oh god no Page 100's first post is a shitgoat.

FYI for the people who don't have access to the LEGO store clearence sales. If you go to the LEGO website and search "sale" it will get you to the sale & deals section, they a a fair amount of sets for 50% off. Like the Midi Star Destoryer for $19...

Target was clearancing off all of their Prince of Persia sets today; got the Battle of Alamut for $40, and Quest against Time for $25, though I'm broke, so the parental units are holding it over my head until my birthday. :(

I also found thisImage
in the Manly Santa Day clearance under a stack of candy. 40 cents, at 90% off.
