It's been a bit since I've posted. You saw a lot of posts around the holiday period because I took some time off from my day job and got to spend more time with my fun job. I've finished off most of my building backlog minus one set. I'm working on the Simpson's Kwik-e-Mart set. It's taken me longer to build since it's a larger set and I've been busy. I'm taking notes and pictures and will post a review once I'm done. There are 17 bags and I'm only through around 4 at this point. A good build so far though.
For those of you that follow the LEGO company and their sales, one big event for them is the day after Christmas. They put a lot of sets on sale. You can find some good deals although you have to act fast. Often times I'll check in the morning on 26 December and most of the sets they had listed are sold out already. I was able to pick up some Simpson's Series 2 minifigures and a LEGO Movie set at half off. I also picked up another Rey's Speeder set which means some additional inventory for the store.
LEGO also released some new sets on 1 January. There are some new Star Wars - The Force Awakens sets, the new LEGO Nexo Knights, and a few others ones so check them out. I haven't bought any yet, but will let you know if I do.
I also managed to catch the LEGO Ideas - The Big Bang Theory set on sale at Amazon to add some minifigures to the store inventory.
Were you able to catch any of the sales after Christmas or in the New Year? Have you purchased any of the new 2016 sets? Let me know in the comments!
