So I posted about what I think is a good deal but I'm interested in everyone's own purchases where they think they did well so list them below.

I got a blister of the super rare Grey Company figures for around 30 quid from a top-tier good guy member on this site. Good stuff. Also, I hate bidding on Ebay. No matter how high I put a bid in on a mini some turd steals it away at the very last second. That's why I always look for Buy It Nows!

10+ old metal LOTR models as a FREE BONUS off ebay because I'd spent over £50 with one particular ebay seller who's offloading his entire collection and he wanted to reward me for being "a loyal customer".

Seriously, I bought Gothmog, Sharku and some Fountain Court Guards, and the guy threw in Legolas, Gandalf (Bridge of Khazad Dum) and Aragorn for free.

I recently got 7 grey company models and the 3 hunters off eBay for $47 AUD which is about 27 pounds I believe.
I also got 50 odd plastic high elves and 5 blisters of high elf spearsmen with pretty much every high elf hero for $25 aud (14 poundsish) at a local games places 5 years anniversary. Best bargain ever!

Recently I bought Escape from Goblintown box set on Kijiji for what I would call a fair deal rather than amazing. Initially I don't care much for that box set except for the good heroes, never had it in my wishlist. It's retail $150 + $170 more for 17 paints, 4 brushes, and other hobby tools/stuff. Got it all for $200, so quite happy though I know I won't be touching that box set in a long long time.

$5 mounted Glorfindel in a bitz box at my local game store. Most likely will never use him though as looking at him closer I don't really like the model.

I got Dunedain of the North free blister cause they could not give tem away (some stuff goes OOP for a reason) and tis was at a GW store.
Got Minas Tirith wall NIB for $30
Moria Prowlers metal blister for $.99

I got tons of stuff at 25%-50% off over my years of collecting from stores going OOB.
And so far have not paid more than retail for anything else as I buy with-in the year of release of everything that I have wanted. If I didn't buy it then, well I can do without it if I can't find it again.

Of course for my birthday I got the 80's Balrog in box that comes with legolas, boromir, Gandalf. The sculpts are old looking, but it is a cool piece for the collection.

Just found a local indy store. Good prices on WH battalions, had me dropping lots of money. Sadly no Hobbit selection but EFGT for $95 instead of $150. I would've bought that if I hadn't already got it previously with that deal stated above in my post.

Well now I'm back into collecting WHFB because of this store. Just recently I bought a Vampire battalion: units at a total $190 individually to $150 battalion to store price of $95 and saving on taxes is a plus. So happy while at the same time concerned that I'm spending too much. Only GW can make you feel so good and bad at the same time!

Got the finecast AUJ White Council box set on ebay for £20. Well worth it at that price. The going rate, not so much.
