Isn't it .68 cents per brick?

I am a collector and not really an investor. IMO, I don't see this taking away from my opinion of the long term gains on this or any other future large sets. The ones who will be most affected will be those who are hoping for a short term profit, like the quick gains on FB. Those willing to be patient as with most of the large sets/ large exclusives will undoubtedly be rewarded.

Thanks for the responses. I was having mental block on that Playmobil stuff. I knew I recognized it but couldn't remember the name. Now I feel dumb. Being as a few of you are familiar, are the 70's era Playmobil sets/figures of any value? This is a box a friend was cleaning out of her parents house and she is trying to figure out if it is worth researching deeeper or if she should just give them away. My wife outed me as "an obsessed lego collector who knows more about this stuff than a grown man should" and I want to lead her in the right direction. You only really see it in specialty toy/hobby shops around here.

A friend asked me to help identify some old bricks. I see parts of one Fabuland set. As for the rest, can anyone help? I see there are some non lego items, the western stuff, but how about all of those slender figs?

He has been very quick with response and we have gone back several times. He did just confirm the absence of other minifigs. Just 2 from 7621 and what looks like a partial from the V-wing. It's possible that the previous owner had the figs displayed or kept them when the lot was sold. Either way, For the work and possible investment, that is a big chunk of the value. I wanted these sets to rebuild with and give to my nephew. I'm thinking I have to pass.

He mentioned I could find most of the instructions online, and was vague about the figs. I'm gonna see if I can get a better answer.

My biggest issue is the missing minifigs, and (almost forgot) missing manuals for most sets. For the MTT alone that is $30 - $50 in extra investment just after a quick look on BL. The lot of identified sets in complete used condition calculates to around $575

Hey all, I am looking at this lot for $125. It has large visible chunks of 7662, 7661, 6207, 7664, 7672, 7752, 7621, 7622, 6205, and 7673. In the other shots the sets are more spread out. Definitely in need of lots of cleaning, and judging by the boxes I'm sure lots of pieces. I get the impression the seller buys and sells lots like this regularly. He claims he doesn't sift through although I'm fairly sure that is not true. There would be 40+ minifigs with all of these sets, however only 2 Indiana Jones fig are visible. Either way, is this lot still worth the 20 minute drive? Cheers!

It is an image of a LEGO model that could be built with Basic set #140 from the late 60's, maybe 1968 or 1969. Blue bricks for most of the body with white roof and accents, and red wheels. It was motorized.

Skiff gone.

Malevolence disappeared while in mid checkout and after adding to get to $75, no Revan. WTF?

I would get a $5 - $20 dollar set every x-mas and birthday from my uncle, along with the ocasional small or larger set for a special occasion. I had also got a few from my parents over the years. My sister had 2 sets of legos and 3 of those pastel TYCO imitation block barrels. When I was about 14, my father said I had to sell off most of my toys at a garage sale. He said I should keep a few things I would want for my future kids. I kept the Legos and lost the argument about my Transformers. He said I would never remember how they worked, so I ended up with the GI Joe stuff. In hindsight, he regrets that. At 20 I moved out and left the legos packed in the attic. In a bin with no boxes but all of the instructions. I started buying lego again at around age 24 and knew that I would reunite with those old sets when I had a place for them. Fast forward a bit, at age 28 I came looking for those sets, finding only a handful in a small box next to 3 full pastel TYCO barrels. I asked my mother where she may have moved the rest to. It turns out my sister, a preschool/kindergarten teacher had pillaged the box for her classroom. Needless to say, I lost it. We argued like we were kids again. I couldn't believe the audacity, and worse, she tried to claim all of the legos were "ours". About a week later she shows up with a dismal looking bin of filthy, disorganized, broken bricks. At the bottom was a folder with a bunch of torn and ruined instruction manuals, less than half of the originals. I have spent the last 3 years slowly gathering and piecing back together all of those old sets. Of all the things my sister has done in her life, this may be the one I never forgive her for.

You can also add, Universal saw fit to replace Back to the Future and Jaws rides with............ding ding ding The Simpsons(2008), and Harry Potter(2010) themes.
