And I Just Went In For a PAB Cup...

And I left the LEGO Store with the Batman Steamroller set, the X-Men Blackbird, Friends Tiger polybag (FINALLY they had it) and the TMNT Shredder polybag. Oh, and a PAB Cup with medium lavender and dark azure 2x4 plates, which was the primary reason I visited. (Also a few ladder pieces, cause why not. No horses though... they sold out of those within days, sadly.)

 

I was only going to buy the PAB cup... but then they had the Friends polybag, and then I wanted to get something non-girly, then I saw that the Batman set was 20% off (cause it's kinda a lame set for its regular cost) and then I realized that I was only like $15 away from the $75 limit to get the free polybag, but there weren't any $15 sets that I had my eye on, so I just went ahead and grabbed the Blackbird. And ended up spending way more than I anticipated, but these were all sets that I've had my eye on, and it's kinda a good deal on the one, and I'm getting VIP points that I can use later this year on the REALLY large sets... and I have an income but no impulse control when it comes to LEGO.

 

Also anybody know the worth of the Shredder polybag? In hindsight, I really don't want it, not being a fan of TMNT, so it's mostly meh to me. Maybe I could trade it for something later? I also have the Martian Manhunter fig that I was also thinking about trading for something. Don't know the something yet. Maybe a Storm or Batgirl fig... oh wait, don't need those. Maybe cheese slopes? :P

 

(Speaking of cheese slopes, I made an order 3 weeks ago on Bricklink and the guy still hasn't shipped em! Longest I've ever waited on an order was a month, and that was from Canada so it had to go through customs. The guy mentioned he had a back-log, and my order was pretty big... but still! He'd better get the numbers right two... another order must've just weighed the parts, and as such it came up short on two bulk items. :( )

 

What's that, I'm supposed to be a financially responsible adult now? Eh... maybe later.

Pft, where's the fun in financial responsibility*?

 

But seriously, I wish I lived near a LEGO store so I could take advantage of their amazing Pick A Brick walls. The one time I visited one they even had a 'make your own minifigure' station where you could make it and take it. After paying, of course.  And the fact that they stock exclusive sets (like the CUUSOO ones) and other exclusive merchandise just makes them that much more attractive.

 

*V1P2 does not advocate financial irresponsibility and encourages others to save their money for life's necessities like food, water, shelter, movies, LEGO bricks, video games... wait a minute...

Most stores have the build-a-minifig stand, and while it's engaging for the kids, it's a little pricey, and I could probably get a better selection off Bricklink for a lower price. But I'm really not the target audience, and those stands always seem to be popular with the kids.

 

Medium Lavender Pick-a-Brick? Lucky.

They put out a bunch of new bricks in lots of store, apparently, at the start of the quarter (AKA July 1st) which was my motivation to visit the store. Previously there had been 1x2 medium lavender bricks from the wall that I got a lot of, bur ir'a nice to get them in bigger pieces. I really want to expand my lavender spaceship...
