DaleDVM Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) Ok, so I am ordering a christmas set from Brandon's AZ Bricks on bricklink. I see he has a castle set for sale so I checked it out. After all shipping is better when spread out over more LEGO. He had a Knights challege 1584 for sale for $60.00. It said in great condition with all parts and instructions but no box. However, that was less than half of the price of the next competitor. I was a bit worried at that price there might be a problem with it. Well I wanted the holiday set anyway so I took the plunge and ordered both. I opened the ziploc bag and everything looked in perfect condition. Even the white princess fig still looks white. All printing is perfect and clips on the barding. But one thing seemed funny. It looked like too many parts. Then I noticed a third piece of barding and another smaller set of instructions. So I started putting things together and sure enough there was another complete set included in my order! A twin-arm launcher 6039 was included as well. It also was in perfect condition. The instructions for both sets have some wrinkles and a small tear but otherwise the pieces are literally perfect. I would guess these were never even played with or allowed to sit in sunlight. I don't really ever expect to be so positively surprised by anyone, but I thank Brandon for the best Christmas gift I have gotten in years. Here is hoping the holidays treat my fellow LEGO fans as well this season! Edited December 17, 2011 by DaleDVM Quote
I Scream Clone Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Just makes you a lucky duck mate Good times. Quote
Norro Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Congrats mate, normally I'd say 'just what you needed' but in your case ; ) God Bless, Nathan Quote
fyrmedhatt Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 I won the same set at an ebay auction with a couple of tiny sets a few months ago, and It's just such a nice set. The whites in this set were super crisp as well, I think it's just the plastic used for this set that is not as prone to yellowing. The one problem I had was severe fading of the red crusader torsos, if yours are pristine count yourself as lucky. Quote
DaleDVM Posted December 18, 2011 Author Posted December 18, 2011 Yes, I guess I should have said luckiest bricklink order. I got two sets that cost 120 and 30 for the condition they are in for 60 dollars. I consider myself very lucky indeed. Good to hear from you Nathan. I know I am not deserving as these are copies of sets I already own. But I am still very happy. Merry Christmas to you all! Quote
Norro Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Good to hear from you Nathan. I know I am not deserving as these are copies of sets I already own. But I am still very happy. I don't deserve the stuff from that Target sale that is now filling my closet, but I'm still happy as well! God Bless, Nathan Quote
