Bought a block of 100 and did the 50% bonus to the one I won and the first ticket won! W2696 - W2795 so 1 or 100 you have a shot if you try... You won the mystery lot! That is so cool! Post pics of it when you get your prize! We are all happy for you! 1 Quote

You can send me the $1000 if it is burdening you, don't want you to stress out if the winner doesn't respond. Also, I have two silent marys 71042. If the price on ebay doesn't go up in the next 9 months or so, I can donate it to the raffle next year! I don't know why I even have two! I just looked in my closet and there it was! Quote

Any winner who donated $100.00 or more. There were 4 winners that qualified. Plus they are all getting Darth Vader busts courtesy of Pebble & Park (except for raven...He requested Minnie Mouse). I will take whatever you want to donate. Thanks... Quote

I mean I was between 60-70. Probably good I DIDN'T know about the $100 AMZ, otherwise I would be tempted to give more but only because I was expecting something in return. Also if I donate sets, do I have to pay the shipping? I would want to ship it to you for you to ship out to winners, because I have shipped LEGO international before and I HATE IT, and I do not want to get stuck with a set I have to send to Europe.

Only 4 WINNERS went over $100.00. People donated $100.00 or more and didn't win only get a big thank you from me and the school. As for the other sets, hold onto them. I am not sure at the moment on whether or not I will do another LEGO raffle, so hold onto your sets. As I stated earlier, it's more about my own personal situation than anything else. Quote

It's something I always wanted to do and my LEGO collection is enabling me to do so. The situation with building, packing, moving and everything else will happen sometime next Winter into Spring. Running another LEGO raffle at that time could be tricky, but I am not writing it off. Jeff and I have learned a lot the past 6 months and there us a lot of things happening behind the scenes, all which is good for the site and members. There is a new update coming and other plans to bring more pricing information to resellers and collectors. 3 Quote

That's a lot of bricks.Is the exterior going to be all random colors or did you manage to sores that many bricks of the same color? Quote

My property right now is full of trees, mulch beds and is sloped. It is very difficult to maintain well. The new lot is flat, with a few mature trees and double the size, but it is easier to mow than to edge and weed. 2 Quote

Ed Mack Posted May 27, 2019 Author Posted May 27, 2019 I just wanted everyone to know that I had to order some new boxes from Uline to ship these sets safely. I have thrown away all of my shipping boxes from retailers. My bad. I should get the boxes on Wednesday. Quote
