Legodad71 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Well I pulled the trigger. The Legos weigh 8lbs 4 oz. not including the mini figs plus all the accessories including 2 blue base plates. Includes manuals for 7121, 7131,7128, 7110, 6497, 7151 and 7161. There are some other sets including 6560 which looks mostly complete. I won't know until I go through it all. At the very least my daughter thought it was a great deal and was very excited. Some 74 min figs plus parts,of others. There is also a big pile of mini fig accessories that I did not include. So how did I do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolanfan34 Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 That's the funny thing about those lots. If you had posted there were 74 minifigs, even if not complete, I think most would have said no-brainer for $35. I think you did well, but I am not an expert yet. Just the instructions alone could net $20-25 though if you wanted to sell them by themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshTX Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Was that gray baseplate with the rocks a Lego piece? It reminded me of the Halo megabloks stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legodad71 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Thanks. It was a bit of a gamble but I enjoyed it. I could see wanting to spend more time looking for more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legodad71 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 It's megablok. Says galaxy on the front. No other megabloks, one duplo and some Jurassic park action figures included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's kinda what I thought. I bought about 30 pounds from Goodwill a while back and there was a baseplate like that mixed in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legodad71 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Do you find ,many Legos at goodwill? I have looked before but have never found any at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest betsy805 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Do you find ,many Legos at goodwill? I have looked before but have never found any at all. At least in the Seattle area, the goodwills all ship their legos to the downtown seattle branch and they ALL get sold via ebay in bulk lots and minifigure lots. Not sure if all goodwills do this or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if all goodwills do this or not. I've also seen bulk lots on eBay from other goodwills. They seem to describe their lots pretty well too.

DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 It's megablok. Says galaxy on the front. No other megabloks, one duplo and some Jurassic park action figures included. Jurassic park action figures would have sealed the deal for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seapotato Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 What do you guys think of 5887 dino defense hq, 5883 tower takedown and 5882 coelophysis ambush for $100? Used, no box and no instructions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diabolos80 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 What do you guys think of 5887 dino defense hq, 5883 tower takedown and 5882 coelophysis ambush for $100? Used, no box and no instructions. First I would check ebay & BL to see if instructions and sticker sheets are available. Some of the more obscure sets (dino qualifies) are almost impossible to complete. Dont worry about the boxes though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seapotato Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 the sets themselves are complete. How important is it to have an instuction booklet included? I spoke with the guy who was selling it and he said the instructions are found on the lego website. Is this true?First I would check ebay & BL to see if instructions and sticker sheets are available.

matt1147 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Yes booklets can be found in lego website and others like Brickset and Peeron. You can also often find booklets for sale on bricklink. some are cheap and others can get pricey. If it's for personal build, it's up to you how important the booklets are. For resale, opinions vary, but I would say in the 5-15% range...depends on how rare. Someone else want to comment on value of booklets for resale? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
