Doctor Sinister Posted June 2, 2008 I got into work this morning to find a massive box of LEGO sitting there. I haven't gone through it yet but just based on the stuff sitting on top it appears to at least contain copies of sets 1349 and 4094 and a load of football stuff, plus a load of other bits and bobs. All in pretty good condition. Despite my insistence to the lady who left it for me, she doesn't want anything for it - but at the very least I will buy her a bottle of her favourite tipple as a thank-you. Dr. S.

Norro Posted June 2, 2008 In the spirit of Indy month can I take it just as you are savoring sorting it... perjhaps with the help of an evil armed faction? God Bless, Nathan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doctor Sinister Posted June 2, 2008 In the spirit of Indy month can I take it just as you are savoring sorting it... perjhaps with the help of an evil armed faction? God Bless, Nathan OK, but if you open the box, strange whirling ghosties and spirits will come out and melt you before slamming the lid shut again. Dr. S.

Doctor Sinister Posted June 3, 2008 Having now sifted through the whole lot, I am the proud owner of: * My first ever Fabuland element! A large blue house with yellow windows...Alice can have that. * My first ever Bionicle pieces! Shed-loads of them in fact...much weirdness there. * What looks to be a complete football pitch - the type with the flicky springy doodads for the players. * Lots of Technic bits and pieces. * Some kind of white module thingy with buttons on it - don't know what the heck it is, it's similar to the one I got out of the first Star Wars Mindstorms kit but this one has no motor output - just some lights? More weirdness...I would put some batteries in it but it might be a trap... * A small 4x4x3 motor (?) in a trans-clear box complete with a connection at the top for a cable link. * A pirate-style shooty cannon - that's cool, one of my two pirate ships can have that. * Set 1349 - 100% complete - yes, even the camera is there, and it works brilliantly, plus the software CD, baseplates, car, dinosaur - it's all there. The minifigs look like they've been tortured though... :-D * Several hundred seemingly random LEGO elements, clearly from sets, there are Harry Potter bits in there, a few dislocated Star Wars pieces, some very old printed LEGO bricks, a couple of meteorites (?), various odds and sods - a few interesting pieces but that's about it. Oh, and... * Four CLONE bricks of indeterminate origin - but they feel a bit like they might be from an old Cobi "Blockmen" set. I swear, I only know this as someone once bought me a set. No really. OK, dammit, you're too good for me, so I once bought one of those sets myself - I was experimenting, confused. But it meant nothing! NOTHING! No...don't leave me! It won't happen again! Dr. S.

Scouty Posted June 3, 2008 Yes, the camera is there, AND the CD with the software!Dr. S. Well, the camera isn't that great. Low quality picture. And the software isn't that bad, but there are finer pieces out there. Congrats on the gain! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nah, 'm just kidding, We all have a few imitation brand-bricks thrown in here and there, though, I have a Megablocks Castle (Which, it basic structure is made out of, sadly, just 3 pieces, 2 towers, and 1 main part of the castle) which I got from my aunt and uncle once, long ago.

More weirdness...I would put some batteries in it but it might be a trap... If it looks like thisthen it's also supposed to make sounds as well. It came in some of the space port sets from 1999. That's where those meteorites came from, or are they trans blue? Then those probably came in the arctic sets from a year after. Hope that helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Karto Posted June 6, 2008 A colleague of mine gave me last year his Lego (from his youth). It was including a mint 1525 truck and several other great sets. Another older one gave me two mint boxes from '75, 364 and 365. It happened quite a few times that people gave me their own collection. And every time, I'm smiling as a kid Thinking about it, I don't know any guy that never had Lego during his youth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
