Sales and Deals 9/4/11 thru 9/10/11

Hey everybody!

Sorry for the lack of recent news and general posts.  Work has been swamped with taxes being due in 10 days.  Anyways, I wanted to share a few local deals that are currently going on in the Portland, Oregon area.  They may or may not be going on at your local stores across the country.  It is always worth a look!

Various Updates

Hello all!

It has been a little bit since I last updated or posted.  Here is a little of what's going on!

Modular Buildings

During the previous Toys R Us Buy One Get One 50% off sale, I took the plunge into the Grand Emporium.  On Thursday I split the build with my wife and sister (we each did a floor).  Needless to say it was a very fun build!  See the picture below of it next to the Pet Shop.

Petshop and the Grand Emporium.  The billboard was too tall for the bookshelf so I had to take it off.

Series 5 Minifigures

As mentioned in the previous blog entry, I have started a Series 5 Roll Out Map.  It can be viewed by going to here.

Also I have been on the hunt for Series 5 since they have been showing up overseas in the UK and other parts of Europe.  I will be adding them to my Haves/Wants and Bricklink store as soon as I get them.

Bricklink

With the latest purchase of the Grand Emporium, I came across a 2nd copy of it for the BOGO Toys R Us.  With that said, I am parting it out and selling individual floors on my Bricklink.  The 2nd and 3rd floors are $75 each and the 1st floor is $90.  View it here by visiting my Bricklink site: http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=KyleJohnson11. I have some Pirates of the Caribbean sets that I have parted out and listed on there.  Be sure to check it out!

LEGO Store San Jose, CA

I was in San Jose, CA earlier in the week traveling for business and stopped by the Santa Clara LEGO Store in the Valley Fair Mall.  I filled a Pick-A-Brick cup.  I got some good 4x4 green and brown plates.  I also got a few 8x6 white plates for our Christmas scene.  Overall it was a nice store.  They were all out of Series 3 Minifigures but had a box of Series 4 out.  I randomly grabbed a Hockey Player so I was very pleased :)

That's about it from the LEGO world in the Pacific Northwest.  I am always looking to make trades so please check out my Haves and Wants lists!

Collectible Minifigures Series 5 Rollout Map

Over in the UK, Minifigure Series 5 have been reported in the stores.  See this link for the story on BrickSet.

With that said, inspired by The Ugly Duckling @ Brick Link, I have started a Series 5 Rollout Map.  It is through Google Maps and allows for people to add where they have seen Series 5.

Information we are looking for on the map includes, Price, How Many Are Left, Where Are They In The Store, and Date.

Thank you for your help!

UPDATE: Apparently I forgot to check to box to allow others to edit.  That has now been checked so people can add their stores now :)
