Best haul I've ever had today. Got everything in the picture, including quite a lot of smaller unboxed sets, for £100! A lot of it is still mixed up in bulk, but I've been able to briefly look through and it looks like all minifigures are there. Can hardly believe my luck with this!

I've never been so conflicted - I simultaneously want this thread to die abruptly and to see it keep going forever & ever

Don't feed the troll. Then again I kind of enjoy these threads every now and then.

No offense...but how old are you?

I just wish it was actually something to buy

My whole head has just turned green.

A bit of a shameless cross-post with the 'what did you buy today?' thread, but here is something that will be keeping me busy. Everything boxed here, plus lots of smaller sets without boxes, is mostly mixed together. A couple seem to have been separated, like the Black Pearl, but it's mostly a jumble. I actually have another bulk lot with a few old pirate sets (like Black Seas Barracuda) that I haven't even started on yet, but I could not refuse this for £100.

I have created a collection of 3 mini Lego steam engines, A Traction Engine, Steam Roller and Showman's Engine. I've called them "Miniature Steam Machines" and they are intended to be a kind of side project to accompany and help promote my "Old Workhorse Model on LEGO IDEAS". I set myself the challenge of seeing how much detail I could fit in using a very limited amount of bricks. each of these models is very small with the biggest one only containing 128 bricks. The pictures below show the 3 little models alongside The Old Workhorse to give an idea of how small they are. If you're interested you can find many more pics of these models on my Flickr. https://www.flickr.com/photos/140122416@N02/albums/72157700977635461/with/31511230398/ And don't forget if you'd like to give The Old Workhorse a chance of being made as an official set, please vote for it on LEGO IDEAS. https://lego.build/2vRfVGL

“Ruin it for me” I meant lol

Riiiight, you don’t know, yet you’ll flood the market before I even get to QF few

I just mentioned that to my son and he about fell over! He then proceeded to tell me all of the singles and combinations that they should do....the Gravity Falls following is a dedicated crew!

There is early 2019 bhz

man I like the name "sack series"

Just sold one at $58. Going to bump the next one up another $10.

Can we have awards for the best threads?

I'd say you could get a billion dollars. Or maybe 5 dollars. Without any details it's very hard to say my friend!

At first, I was thinking folks will complain about anything. But after looking at it, I can see your point. Some extra dimension to the ribbons or even the box lid would have been cool and frankly not hard to do. Overall, though, it's a nice giveaway.

Rock on Metallica !!!

I got a £1 max selling fees offer from eBay for the weekend, I'm sure many others did as well so you can expect to see a flood of lower priced Lego on for the next 30 days

My kids totally got into that show. Started recording every episode. I have to admit, it is very engaging. The codes that are in the show have real messages. There is a whole fan page for deciphering them.

hmm so had no clue what gravity falls was, guess that shows my age, although alpine can't be a spring chicken anymore. Wife and daughter knew what it was though.

Gravity Falls BHz? Oh, that community will go insane.

That’s like a 3rd one in this “sack”series iirc.

Great little set imo also. we’ll be loading up on this during x-mas in July at $10 I hope too.

If I come across any, I'll sell to you at cost PhilB

This is not close to being worth $5000.00.

I think if you can find someone willing to pay $5,000 for your collection that you should immediately run out and buy a lottery ticket. You may squeeze $2000 out of it if you list everything individually and verify that it is complete. If you try to unload it in bulk you'd be lucky to find a buyer over $1,000. Not a lot of "wow" in your set list.

Whew, sounds like a Fingerling.

Halloween is around the corner, you know

Yes! We need more uses for those blue discs.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi - Dreadnought - 800,000 pieces

I just picked up 10 Harry Potter Bricktober sets from my Barnes & Noble. $6.75 each after tax and member discount. I had them manually order these for me last week and they arrived today. Upon picking them up I asked if I could order a few more. The clerk tried to place another order but the set was now flagged as unorderable in their system. Have others experienced this as well? I might have lucked out with the timing on my order.

I could only dream of having those for my collection.. A superb result.. No guesses where the seller worked then [emoji6] Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Just bought this lot from a former lego employee .. all sealed , paid $600 for all of them ...

I randomly decided to check LetGo this morning and scored with this 10221 for $60!It is super dusty but appears near complete (minus minifigs).

Thanks very much, glad you like the way I presented the images. To be honest I think image presentation is almost as important as the model design itself, especially with something like LEGO IDEAS. Well I keep persevering and am trying to get as many votes as I can. If anyone on here is signed up to LEGO IDEAS you should have received the latest e newsletter from them yesterday. You may have noticed that I am featured in it with an article about an exhibition I took the model to a couple of weeks ago. My model featured in the LEGO IDEAS Newsletter by Bricked1980, on Flickr I took the model to a steam toy exhibition at Mountsorrel Heritage Centre in the UK where it was displayed in their railway museum. You can see in the pic above I even went as far as making my own "PLEASE VOTE" T shirt. ?
