I get buyers remorse before I pay for stuff, as I walk towards the counter.
Just got back from Mall of America LEGO Store! I did something I shouldn't have... (But I wanted to soooo bad!)
I GOT MODULARS!
Pet Shop, Fire Brigade, Grand Emporium, Palace Cinema!
I nominate this for haul of the month (if we had such a thing). Capital job there!
Finished building the Grand Prix Racer last night. Great looking model. Although, after having built three Technic race/super cars in under a year they're starting to feel a bit same-y (that engine is fun to build the first time, by the third I was kind of rolling my eyes.) The rear suspension was a lot of fun as well as the shell of the main body, as it looks so different from the regular super car shape. I might remove the gear on the nose that serves to turn the front wheels, considering that the steering wheel itself is functional. As usual, I have some parts left over including two red pegs which I know probably go somewhere. I seem to always wind up not putting in at least two of these somewhere on these kits, there's just so much going on in the diagrams. Didn't apply any of the two sheets worth of stickers (seriously, it's ridiculous) though now I'm considering painting the pattern onto the parts. None of the main "paint-job" stickers are too complex. We'll see. They also give you six clear 1x1 rounded studs that I think the instructions indicate to just place next to the model? I don't know, it's really weird. Overall it's a nice kit, but if you've built a few of the cars you probably know what you're in for as far as the build goes.
Buyer's remorse is like, the worst thing ever.
We must never have a "haul of the month", Ghostmind. There are enough addicts in this thread that we'd all just end up being codependent enablers.
No kidding, I had it once when I bought a car. Now that sucked lol

As everybody else has said, amazing haul. I'm definitely jealous.

Just bought the Lego Star Wars AT-RT, built it as soon as I got home. Also bought the Lego City Fire truck, but will build it later. Going back to pick up another small set or two. Maybe something TMNT or Marvel related.
I recently realized that I'm not a collector. I enjoy building Lego and like having a couple Star Wars ships displayed, but I don't have the space nor the desire to keep modulars or any other Lego out in the open.
What should I do with my blocks? Give to my wife's kindergarden class? Parse them all out and sell online (no boxes, just instructions and all the pieces)?
Speaking of AT walkers, wasn't there a UCS AT something back when?
There was a UCS AT-ST released in 2006. There has also been a 10000-series AT-AT, but it was not UCS.
What's a 10000-series?
I think they are just the really large, non-UCS sets (Modulars, Tower Bridge etc.)

They are BEST LEGO!

I've always wondered why they leave the piece count off the Euro boxes...
That stagecoach will be mine.
I really have zero interest to see this movie.

Jaw drops to the floor. That's almost $1k worth in one shot and the scary thing is all those modulars are on my list so that means I will eventually spend over $1k.
LEGOGAF help me.
I agree. The stage coach is the best value and looks great as a standalone set.
And he didn't even get Town Hall, so add that to the receipt too.
Every time someone posts a haul you point out the sets they didn't get.
You're a bad influence, sir!!

Mainly with that one because of the sheer magnitude of the haul. I would have waited on Arkham and gotten Town Hall just to have all modulars in one fell swoop.
And yes, I am jealous of the haul. lol.

Don't you own most of those anyway though?
Yes, accumulated over the course of a year. It is just the sheer magnitude of a single day haul that is awe inspiring.
Would it be inappropriate to ask if someone would be willing to sell some pieces bricklink style? Just wondering, if so, my apologies and I will delete this.
Back from store, winded up getting the Chima Claw Ripper, and the Fire Truck Lego City set.
And soon I may go to legoland with the family, anyone who has gone, what are the prices for sets like there? Outrageous, fair, or what?
A haul is one thing.Yes, accumulated over the course of a year. It is just the sheer magnitude of a single day haul that is awe inspiring.
I will probably be going to Moa this week on spring break, and I will likely go to the lego store there.
They have a PAB there, so are there any techniques or strategies I should try to get the best bang for my buck?
I had almost posted that. Lol.A haul is one thing.
The next logical step is to open them ALL at once and mix the bags before construction!
Everytime I see the BrickShow reviewing Kreo sets in my YouTube feed I have to shake head with disappointment.
