MarleyMoose Posted September 10, 2014 Author Posted September 10, 2014 More from the same lot. A few more $ in my pocket. Quote
MarleyMoose Posted September 13, 2014 Author Posted September 13, 2014 Still going through the Castle/SW lot I got for $150. I've found 98.5% of a 4709 Hogwarts Castle not the 4729 Dumbledore's Office I thought was in there. Missing minifigs Dumbledore and the Gryffindor Knight Statue. This set alone almost pays for the whole lot. I'll post pics when I build it. Well here it is. 4709 Hogwarts Castle. A few pieces missing. Overall in really good shape. I don't think it'll be worth bricklinking the parts because I'm going to sell it. Why cut into the profit. Now I need to go through the SW sets. Battle of Endor is first on the list. Quote

Migration Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 First time I've run across this one. So far it's a very enjoyable build. Quote
Migration Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Finished it this morning, it's only missing 4 minor pieces that I didn't have in my parts bins. Problem is my son saw it, so I'll have to wait a while before I can sell it. I really enjoyed this build, even if it was a tad repetitive. 1 Quote

I have sold a couple of these found in bulk lots. Quote
matt1147 Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Currently - Dwarves' Mine, Indiana Jones Kingdom of the crystal skull, some Mars Mission sets, and gargoyle bridge (castle). Quote
Migration Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 I picked up 150+ pounds of bulk this morning off of a craigslist add. Once I put all the boxes in my garage I opened the first one and was greeted by this. It's gonna be a good lot. 2 Quote
MarleyMoose Posted September 20, 2014 Author Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) Figured I'd put together some small SW sets in the lot. Sorting through the Battle of Endor now. Then I have a 7672 Rogue Shadow, 7673 MagnaGuard Starfighter, 7681 Separatist Spider Droid, 7669 Anakin's Jedi Starfighter, 7670 Hailfire Droid & Spider Droid, 7748 Corporate Alliance Tank Droid, 8086 Droid Tri-Fighter, 7668 Rebel Scout Speeder, and a 8083 Rebel Trooper Battle Pack to finish out the SW sets. All are close to if not 100%. Last I have some parts of the 6268 Renegade Runner and some smaller Pirate sets. Very Happy with this $150 lot. Edited September 20, 2014 by CC-Marley Quote
Victorymike18 Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 Looks like an awesome lot, It's nice when some of them are fairly intact! Could you tell me what set number that last picture is? The one with what look like mini AT-AT's. I have one as well, but never looked into it yet. Quote

I just picked up 20 lbs of bulk and there were a few things in your lot that I'm pretty sure I came across in mine. That should help me quite a bit.

Gonkalin Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 I'm working on building (3) sets of the classic yellow castle 375. One is mine from childhood. I still have the instructions (no box) and I sorted through all by personal bulk Lego to find the original pieces. I found all but 7 of them. Missing many of the minifigs. I then found someone selling 2 of the same set (375) on eBay. Both with boxes. 1 set of instructions. One set 100% complete. The other set 80% complete. Bought the lot for $200. Turns out the 80% complete set was actually only missing about 8 pieces (not counting mini figs). So now after merging all 3 sets I have 2 set 100% complete with box and instructions including mini figs with the rare face shields. Only thing missing are about 25% of the stickers. The last set has no box or instructions. Missing about 8 pieces on the castle including 1 red door and 3 of the little 1 x 1 red cutout window pieces. This last set is missing almost all of the mini gigs but I do have 4 face shields but 2 of the 4 are the wrong color. So here's my question. I'm going to try to brick link the last castle complete. For the mini figs. I can get most of them as basic pieces from Lego or brick link since the only thing making them special are the chest plates, the stickers and the face shields. There is someone selling remade sticker sheets for this set on eBay for about $10. Any thoughts on people's ideas about finishing Classic sets with new non original pieces. And Also any thoughts on whether buying recreated stickers would add or lower overall value. 1 Quote
LowestFormOfWit Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 I exchanged a bunch of old cheap NERF guns to a thrift shop in exchange for a big box of assorted bulk LEGO. It had most of the exclusive parts to all four original Ninjago Dragons. I've completed the Earth, Ice, and Lightning ones for only 30 bucks, and only the Fire one remains. 1 Quote
MarleyMoose Posted September 22, 2014 Author Posted September 22, 2014 8038 The Battle of Endor is done. I'm missing 1 #6536 Dark Bluish Gray Technic, Axle and Pin Connector Perpendicular. I replaced it with a Light Bluish Gray until I find a replacement which I can't seem to find atm. 1 Quote
MarleyMoose Posted September 23, 2014 Author Posted September 23, 2014 A few more from the lot. Quote
CNH1974 Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Just won this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121430888697?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Hopefully there is a complete 6077 in there plus a couple of 6034s Also this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lego-mixed-vintage-space-technic-ice-planet-6973-technic-control-centre-etc-/191320642291?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=Pd0GZsZoZMfHj8hRW8gYHyyJjPQ%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc If the 6951 is near complete it should pay for the lot. This should keep me busy for a while. Quote
MartinP Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 I just finished finding all the pieces for a 6285 Black Seas Barracuda. I was very surprised to see that in a bulk lot where most of the sets are from 2007 and on. Unfortunately, there are several important pieces missing like some of the hull, four sails, and the masts, so I'm can't build the set yet. Next set, 4957 Ferris Wheel! 1 Quote

MarleyMoose Posted November 5, 2014 Author Posted November 5, 2014 I finished piecing this group together Monday night. Missing some of the stickers but all pieces were there. Sold them yesterday for $70+shipped. This lot just keeps on giving. Quote
seapotato Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 I've got half of Dumbledore's office. Prob just gonna sell as is lol. Quote
jaylay Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 just finished making my first order of parts through Bricklink to finish up a 10213 ... after that is done and sold im going to do the same and finish up a 10231! bought a lot from CL containing the two sets but obviously missing pieces ... hopefully once these two sets are completed and sold ill have gotten my money back and the rest of the bulk is gravy ... the actual part of going through the bulk lot and finding the darn pieces piece by piece is time consuming and hard ... and then going to BL to get the missing pieces is another thing ... this is so far the biggest set im trying to complete and its a pain in the arse!! but after ive built this bad boy and sold it ill feel very relieved!!

CNH1974 Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 I have been caught out for the first time buying a bulk lot. A lot of SW & Atlantis sets with instructions with the caveat of maybe not being complete so he said selling as is. BP value approx Quote
MarleyMoose Posted November 11, 2014 Author Posted November 11, 2014 Just finished up and listed a 7672 Rogue Shadow. Complete missing only the imperial sticker. This lot just keeps on going on. Quote
Migration Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Has anyone else who has pieced this set together wanted to make it black and turn it into Airwolf? Maybe have it blow up the limo when you can't find that black rear window? 3 Quote
