I'm especially envious of the tan log bricks.

Sorry, I didn't know. I'll make sure it won't happen again.

Nice haul... though next time i would stick with large PAB, you can get more bang for your buck. It sucks from the sorting stand point though. I will ne updateing my count thread shortly... That really depends on the pieces and how you stack them. If I'm picking up lets say grey 4x1's for wall, I can get more bang for the back out of the smaller cups as it's easier to properly fill them. If it's small loose pieces, then yes - bigger cups are better.

Ludzik I see what you are saying however I don't fully agree. I still think the larger cup is a better value. when I get time I will pack a small cup and a large cup with 1x4's and get a count. I have a case at home so this wont be an issue. Here is a Picture of my latest haul I picked up all this yesterday. The mini is for my wife, and not shown is a small PAB for my daughter. I got 4 base plates 2- green, 2- Blue, small cup of dark red 1x2 bricks and blue jewel filler, 2 hobbit sets one for the draft one to part out, and the white creator car for snow parts.

Got the smallest Guardians of the Galaxy set and a Chima Lion beast yesterday at Target. As always, after I built the sets and had them together for a little while, I broke them down for parts. My sister also got the Friends jungle falls thing, and since she mixes her pieces in with mine, I pretty much scored that, too.

i have two lego hauls i should share... this first one is actually the one that brought me to you guys here... i got this haul of sets, blew a bunch - o my spending cash and went online to find ideas for roofs, found a blog in my bookmarks that i was sure had some good roof tutorials and the day before they had made a post about you guys here. came over and instantly forgot my roofing woes, and thought "this is exactly where i can share the story via lego i have been working on!" it was actually a great day for me, because before here, i was just planning on sharing it via reddit, which although has more viewers, is not a forum, i am not a big fan of their layout.... anyhow. first haul! Barrel escape, Council and Shelob are all duplicate sets i bought for parts (except shelob, i want to have an army of spiders. ) the two PAB cups are rushed packs for me, i got a ton of flowers to enhance some of the scenes i might be making... never know when you might want them. Second haul! this was from yesterdays trip to the city to pick up our wedding rings from being cleaned/resized/repaired. i got four PAB cups, even though the wall was 60% empty... it was dissappointing but oh well... two of the cups blew up in the bag, so i had to tie off the lego bag to prevent piece loss. i am still not done sorting all the parts out, but i got a ton of trans blue studs, 1x2 trans blue plates, clear cheese, red flowers, bright green plates, blue plates, some 2x8 dark grey brick, and more random small junk. plus my second LOTR pirate boat. mmmmmmm fleet i also hit micheals craft store and got some embroidery string/cord. it is the nearest to the lego brand stuff i can find commercially without breaking the bank...

whoooooo, my ebay purchase came in finally! i tend to buy on ebay as there are a few sellers who have the items i want in one location, for slightly higher per piece price than BL but i can save on shipping. so.... i have some new goodies!

Okay so here is my wife's Anniversary presents.. And to all of you who say I am full of it and she dosent build, Here you go.... She has her own set/collection of Lego. I am allowed to borrow them but they must be returned in a timely manner. If not rent is charged, or she will come after me with her Kit Rae Weapons... Also today I picked up 1 Unexpected Journey for $54 at Walmart. They had 4 but I only could swing funds for 1

unexpected journey is a great set, i love the detail and the piece selection. also i would like to note that you showed exactly why you only had the funds for one in the first picture there.... just for future reference.
