natesroom Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) So my lego collection has been in boxes in my garage for at least 5 years over two moves to my final place now. My wife got me some legos for christmas (first time in 5 years) Of course now i want to go through my boxes and find and remember what i had. I know i had Kingdoms Joust having purchased 2 of them 1 to play and one for future... Imagine my surprise when i found these also... Forgotten collection by Natesroom, on Flickr I dont even remember buying the other ones. Edited January 30, 2021 by natesroom Quote
zoth33 Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 Have fun building those. I have all the LOTR/Hobbit sets you have there, they are really nice. Goblin King battle is a fun build, and there are some great figs in those sets. I never got the joust set I'm kicking myself for that one. My oldest son got castle dragon set which is now my youngest sons. That's definitely a lot of good building there. Quote
AmperZand Posted January 31, 2021 Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) Wow! Those are some really cool sets. You're lucky to have found them. I have The Lonely Mountain set (79018) which I bought in 2014 but still haven't got round to opening. I intend to heavily mod the Erebor structures when I do. I wasn't crazy about the lower front of Dragon Mountain (your picture, left). The open access and gaps bothered me so I modded them. On the lower right, I just filled the gaps (not pictured). On the left, the mod was a bit more substantial; I added a secret door (see picture). The rest of the structure is mostly as designed by LEGO, sans catapult.

natesroom Posted January 31, 2021 Author Posted January 31, 2021 nice work id love to see that! Quote
Alexandrina Posted January 31, 2021 Posted January 31, 2021 That's a good selection you've got there. I suspect you could come away with a bit of cash if you sold the sealed sets and bought used copies - course, that depends on whether you keep the boxes or only want the pieces within! As an aside, I always used to scoff internally at people with big backlogs of sets or who found sealed sets hidden away - "How did you not get this built? You must have put that somewhere deliberately to save it for later". And then a week ago I realised I have a backlog of about half a dozen sets myself, out of nowhere! Quote
natesroom Posted February 5, 2021 Author Posted February 5, 2021 yeah i meant to build the LOTR goblin king, but forgot because of the moving. The Kingdoms Joust, i purposely bought 2 sets one to build and one to keep with the possibility of combining them. Quote
