Stinky Posted February 26, 2013 Today I drove for one hour to a man selling his old Lego. I got to pick what I wanted. This is my catch: You can see 3 antennas, 7 granulate trees, 8 hollow base, 9 sollid base. Then some windows red and white including 1 x 2 x 1 and 1 x 1 x 2, a 3 piece ladder, set 312 instructions and a red storage bin. I paid the man more than 100 Euros. Still I tink I got a good deal.

Zeya Posted March 4, 2013 Here's a lot I won on eBay for $16 USD (with shipping). It caught my eye because of the small black feather, which tends to go for about $10 USD on BL just by itself: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?P=4502a&colorID=11 I also need some of the old gray swords and hats to complete some of my old sets I'm parting back together. This will help cut back on some BL orders I will have to make soon. It's been really fun parting together my old sets, btw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zeya Posted March 4, 2013 Nice!, LOL the man with a female torso! Haha, yeah you've got to love eBay lots. I love scrolling through minifig lots and generally throwing out lowball bids. Every blue moon I'll win something decent, but then almost "not worth the time spent" for most sane people. :) In this case I legitimately needed a few key parts there and that justified my higher bid of almost $2 per fig.

LegoDad Posted March 5, 2013 Now that is an outstanding find! I called her a couple hours after her listing posted and assumed they would be gone already. But she hadn't received any calls and I told her I'd be there asap. I kind of thought they would be pretty beat up with figures missing and the old grey to be really yellowed but they were in amazing shape. I couple tiles with bite marks, but very easily replaced. I almost felt bad about the deal, but she said she was making money as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S.I Posted March 5, 2013 Its not the best deal I've seen, but one I actually got: a used 8285 with instructions and box for 50 euros, and its a great set to toss in the parts bin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Str0ngbad Posted March 10, 2013 I bought a small tub of legos today for $20. Mixed in were megablocks and quite a few broken and scarred legos but now that I've sorted through it, it appears that I scored a complete 7194 Yoda set in good condition. Hoo-ah!!

Roger_Smith Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) This is the lot I scored on Ebay about a month ago: http://www.ebay.de/itm/150979435107 For just 77€, I got about 11kg of Lego. There's a heap of older space (Futoron, M-Tron, SP 1 & 2, Blacktron I, Spyrius, Ice Planet) sets in there, not all are complete of course, but there's mostly just a few parts missing, if any. So far, I mostly spent time identifying the space sets, as that's what I'm most interested in. There's several town sets in there, aswell, some of them with the old 9V light & sound system (the lot contained no less than 5 different battery boxes!). There's a bunch of other interesting stuff, like one of the Technic remote controls and some very few castle and pirates pieces. The biggest or most notable sets (from those I identified so far) to me are: 6395 - Victory Lap Raceway (built it except for the minifigs which I didn't get around to reassemble from the heap of minifigs I now have. The set itself is almost complete, missing only about 4 or 5 parts) 6781 - Space police 1 - SP Striker (built it, it's complete - saw that set alone go for 25-30€ on Ebay...two more medium-sized SP1 sets are in the lot, both of which built aswell, though on the last one, I ran out of blue 'airplane floor' parts and had to use black ones) 6894 - Blacktron - Invader (built it, complete) 6923 - M-Tron - Particle Ionizer (when I got the lot, it actually had the M-Tron super model fully built, you can see it to the far left in the pics on Ebay - there's four or five M-Tron sets in there) 6939 - Spyrius - Saucer Centurion (built it, misses a few minor parts like one antenna etc) 6941 - Blacktron - Battrax (I'm missing the trans-yellow windshield canopy, as I used the only one that was in the lot to built the Invader) 6949 - Spyrius robot (was still mostly intact when I got that, took it apart for washing with no intentions of rebuilding it) 6973 - Ice Planet 2002 - Deep Freeze Defender (turned into a MOC: http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=79637) 6987 - Blacktron - Message Intercept Base (missing one of the big black panels, and also the windshield panel of the small space craft - which was a bit of a bummer. I had hoped it would be in there, it's the only part I'm still missing from my own message intercept base. This second station will serve as a provider for spare parts and most of it will propably end up in the huge 'Blacktron main station'-MOC I'm dreaming about) 8422 - Technic Motorcycle Edited March 10, 2013 by Roger_Smith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was my best christmas ever :D I also had 6080 as a kid, but it was about the only castle set I owned. I was much more into Classic Space. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S.I Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) Nice one, I saw that auction, I expected it to fetch a lot more. Edited March 11, 2013 by S.I Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roger_Smith Posted March 12, 2013 Nice one, I saw that auction, I expected it to fetch a lot more. Was that comment directed at me? If so, so did I. My maximum bis was 120€ or something like that. I chose highly because I fully expected the price to explode in the last few seconds as it so often does, but in the end, I entered my bid, which put the highest bid up to 77€, and that's all that happened Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GRogall Posted March 28, 2013 Was at a local Toys R Us today, a store I hardly ever go to, but I saw that they had 7188 Kings Carriage Ambush for sale at €25 which was not bad and since it was the only Kingdom set I was missing! But the surprise came at the cash register where it rang up for €15 , I went back in and got a second one.......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
