ImperialJohn Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 Just a short info *satis* Been there for a week now :oD and..... Vikings are there and new system Bionicle are there. My son got one of each!! They are great :oo A big pile of "mix it your self" are there for dkk. 299,- (~50$) in a box that holds appx. 3-4 kg.(The green one below!) You might be lucky - you might not !! Inventory changes every day !! But DON'T stay a week *wub*
xwingyoda Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 That a great news for the event goers !!!!! So basically its like a huge PAB !!!!!but not organised at all !!!! and not that expensive either !!!!!! What kind of parts did you find in all those boxes ???? EDIT: I'll move this thread to the buy section ;)
Mr. Lego-builder Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 I myself have never been to Denmark before, so I know all of the fun I'm missing... :'( Anyways, the boxes seems like a very good purchase on your behalf! *satis* So, Athos, what YOU think of your purchase? We could use a bit more info: -Does the all the boxes have the same pieces? -How many pieces did you find in them? -And as Yoda just asked, what kind of pieces did you find in the boxes? (I just hope they are useful! ;) ) P.S. Nice selection of grey pieces there. Are they in old or new grey?
Governor Mister Phes Posted July 16, 2005 Governor Posted July 16, 2005 But DON'T stay a week *wub* Why shouldn't we stay a week Imperial John Sir? What if we're not happy with the first inventory and want to go back to check out the second, third, fourth and so on inventories?
Mr. Lego-builder Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 I really don't think the inventory is going to change daily, Mr. Phes. ;) However, within even one day, I bet Imperial John had a great time at Billund, didn't you, Imperial John?
ImperialJohn Posted July 16, 2005 Author Posted July 16, 2005 Yes. You could call it a huge unorganized PaB. (Why did'nt I take a picture :| ) What kind of parts did you find in all those boxes ???? What parts did I find *wacko* - I know for sure that one box holds at least 2 x 8781 The Castle of Morcia plus extra knights minus the big baseplate. Another box holds at least 2 x 7419 Dragon Fortress minus the baseplate. It is very hard to see here whats in it :$ Does the all the boxes have the same pieces? No. You mix it yourself ;) How many pieces did you find in them? Error - Error - Cannot compute - Error :D I have no idea. But a box like that holds 3
xwingyoda Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 ImperialJohn, Thats what you were talking about right ?? http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery....y.cgi?i=1215465 Isn't it a hassle to choose bricks carefully with all that amount of people pushing you ???? I mean at this stage its war !!!!!! :D I cannot wait to be there !!!!! EDIT: btw, is there only one size of box available in the bulk selection ????? Are there any smaller containers than the huge green box ???
ImperialJohn Posted July 17, 2005 Author Posted July 17, 2005 Thumbs up Yoda. That is it *glasses* Isn't it a hassle to choose bricks carefully with all that amount of people pushing you ???? Well it is posible to find a time with less people ;) Otherwise bring armor :-D But beware it is very hot in there *twisted* btw, is there only one size of box available in the bulk selection ????? YEP. The Green one is it - dkk. 299,- (But this is not the same for PAB!! That is dkk. 50,- pr. 100g!) Earlier they had a BIG blue box :oD Like the 4278 {Blue Tub}and that was dkk. 599,- P.S. Almost done sorting the boxes :oD GREAT parts *wub*
xwingyoda Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 Tks for your answers ;) If its only the green one, the green one it shall be !!!! What would you consider the best time to go ????
ImperialJohn Posted July 17, 2005 Author Posted July 17, 2005 What would you consider the best time to go ???? I wonder how much that information would be worth ;) Let me think.
ImperialJohn Posted July 17, 2005 Author Posted July 17, 2005 OK. It will cost you half a green box ;) Then I will tell you that the best time is 10.00 Is that ok :D
xwingyoda Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 What ?????? Half a green box and double posting !!!!!!!!!! That is just unbearable !!! :P ;) Tks for the advice !!!! ;)
ImperialJohn Posted July 18, 2005 Author Posted July 18, 2005 So here is the box All the "plastic" you see is unopend backs!!! I'll load up more pic's here. Tonight :$
xwingyoda Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 Tks so much for the "pics on damand" ImperialJohn ;) So basically, you can tear the plastic bag and take what you want !!! This is great !!!!!!! So the plastic bags are there at the opening of the shop right, before everyone tears them down?? How old are the sets the plastic bags are from ?? Another question, is this only available in Billund or in every Legoland ???
ImperialJohn Posted July 18, 2005 Author Posted July 18, 2005 So the plastic bags are there at the opening of the shop right, before everyone tears them down?? ;) Correct.BUT... I have experienced that they fill up during the day also *wacko* (Lucky I was there :-D ) BTW. I did'nt find anything usefull today :'( (Just hope that you don't hit it on a BAD day :^D )
xwingyoda Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 I am positive I will have trouble getting all this Lego back home :D Btw ImperialJohn, how far do you live from Billund ??? You seem to go there nealy everyday lately !!!
ImperialJohn Posted July 18, 2005 Author Posted July 18, 2005 ;) Just bring a trolley (I do) :-D Here's the deal. I live in the Copenhagen area. 280 km, a brigde and 3 hours away *wacko* Why go there so often. Well.... We planned a weeks vacation in LEGOLAND this year (Last week) Then I had to take my daughter to a friend today (In the LEGOLAND area) and I'll pick her up this friday :D That is why ;) I've uploaded the rest of the pictures. :$ I think Jay will be happy about this one Here is LEGOMARKET I've taken som pictures also i PaB. But wait and watch 'em all here P.S. If you want more pictures let me know *satis* As I just said I'm going again friday ;)
Ras 74 Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 MOTHER F... all kids in bed...? Sweet lord... Is it here we will spend many houers YODA! Bring a bat and you might stand a chance of what I will bring *twisted* THERE WILL BE A WAR IN THAT SECTION!! Copmike! Ser du vad du g
ImperialJohn Posted July 18, 2005 Author Posted July 18, 2005 I guess that you're looking forward to this, right ;) Well a word of warning. You could be disappointed :'( As I said I just spend a week in LEGOLAND. and.... Here is the real result Saturday = 1 box, mainly coins and roadsigns *wacko* (actually a pore selection) Sunday = 0 box, Crap selection - Nothing new Monday = 4 boxes, Orient expedition, HP(I focused on the Knights bus), Knights kingdom II :oD (What a day!) Tuesday = 2 boxes, More Knights kingdom II (I got 4 bags of knights to "Castle of Morcia") Wednesday = 1 box, Mixed lot of leftovers *wacko* Thursday= 0 box, 2 different "backs" of totally unusable bricks :'( (and a HUGE pile of 'em) Friday = 0 box, closed :oo (Opened after I left :'( ) This monday = 0 boxes :'( (The backs from Thuesday where still there :( and the extras were *sick* ) So as you see it depends VERY much on luck! I did see some polybacks with SW but it was only a few. (eg. I found some from the UCS snowspeeder :oD and the new x-wing) Of cause you could dig deep into the pile :| Here you will find Bionicle masks and other "none" brick things *sick* (Trust me I've been there :| )
Ras 74 Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 I got you there John. I think we will spend many houers there anyway ;) Thanks for the great info.
The Middleman Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 If anyone wants to pick me up a catapult... let me know. ;)
ImperialJohn Posted July 19, 2005 Author Posted July 19, 2005 Let's see. I might clear it all out on friday :P
Morten Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 Hi John Did they have the 10144 LEGO Star Wars Sandcrawler! Thought about getting it at the Event the 29th. I have noticed that they often have sold out of the LEGOshop Exclusives. Thanks, Morten
ImperialJohn Posted July 21, 2005 Author Posted July 21, 2005 Not as I remember. But I'll check tomorrow.
