Turaga Matau Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 I am really in need of all Egypt sets except for 2 mini-air planes, the Amazon Air Zeppelin, Amazon Ruler of the Jungle, and Amazon Spider's secret. I need Barron Von Barron's, Cunningham's, and Alexia Sinister's base from Dino Island and the 4 mini sets that combine and the Island Hopper airplane. I need all Kabaya and any other promotional sets of any kind of Adventurers, including Orient Expedition. I have a lot of BIONICLE's, if you interested in BIONICLE, let me know what you want. I also have LOTS of othr LEGOs including some Adventurers. I also need all Islanders sets. ~Matau
jonfett Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 Man, that makes 3 people who are after egyptian sets. If I find some I will let you all know, but they are so damn expensive on ebay! Jon.
Jipay Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 Let Apo know first :-D EDIT by ApophisV: Dude, I think you made some mistake, but I corrected it.... :^D
Vader Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 I wish that id read this topic a few months ago cause at the time i had all the egypt sets, then i sold them on ebay. I do have instructions for sets 5988 and 5978 that i can scan and email to anyone who wants them. With these instructions you could buy the bricks you need from ebay and build your own, it might take you longer but it would be alot cheaper than buying from ebay.
Turaga Matau Posted December 2, 2004 Author Posted December 2, 2004 I might be able to get some Egypt sets from BZPower.com member shalofski ;) , everyone else here looking for Egypt should check with shalofski, I just want to have posted thatI need Egypt in a few places, I probably can't get all Egypt stuff from shalofski. I mostly want Amazon. Amazon is my fav. kind of Adventurers, followed by Egypt, with Adventurers being my favorite kind of LEGO. And vader316: I just started it, so you wouldn't have been abe to see it a few months ago, maybe you saw that already, but I'm just saying it just in case. ~Matau :-D
Athos Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Hey, I just won an ebay auction for 5986 Amazon Ancient Ruins. It is missing the boat, but other than that the seller claims it is all there. I might be willing to part with it if you are interested and the price was right. I'll let you know more details when I get it in hand and have a chance to evaluate it. Let me know, Steve
Turaga Matau Posted December 3, 2004 Author Posted December 3, 2004 I don't need it, sorry, my parents got me Amazon Ancient Ruins on eBay, it's sitting in the closet waiting for Christmas. Sorry again. ~Matau
Athos Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 I don't need it, sorry Well then I guess it is available to anyone else who may be interested. Steve
ApophisV Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Hm... Dude, what do you want for it? This Amazon line was one of the lines I was never really aware of (I think it was released at my dark ages), but nonetheless it would make the base for some more Diablo 2 MOCs I hadn't thought of yet (Act 3)
Athos Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 I'll have to check it out and let you know. I haven't received it from the seller yet. "Used" on ebay can be a bit vague and ambiguous. I do know the boat piece is missing. If you are interested, I might even be able to throw in the box. I'll let you know more when I get it, Steve
ApophisV Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Lol, don't worry about this boat... ;) But why did you buy it when you don't want it?!?
Athos Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 But why did you buy it when you don't want it?!? Well I do want a copy of it, but I'd already won one previously on ebay. I bid on this one because it came with 5988 as well. So I was able to pick up them both at once, and I figured I'd be able resell the 5986 to someone, and help share my win and offset the costs a bit. Steve
Athos Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 Apophis, I got the set today. It was missing a few more pieces than the item description indicated >:( . Most are easily substituted with pieces from bricklink or your/my own collection. The ones that I've found missing so far are: one 8 x 6 blue plate (this was included, but was in reality a 10 x 6 plate that someone had cut down! :oo ), three skulls :^^D , two 1 x 4 brown plates. Those were the no big deal pieces, the biggies are Achoo's cape, Gabarro's blue kerchief has been substituted with a black one. And the base plate has a few cracks in it (which have been taped :| ) Still interested? Steve, who is thinking about sending my seller the definition of the word "complete"
ApophisV Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 Hm.... *thinks about it*... Is only the boat hull missing or the whole builded boat? I'm still interested, this set includes many very nice parts, but I can't tell you if I can afford it (at least this month.... :$ Bad expensive christmas time.... :|) So what do you want for it? Oh, and besides: Try to contact the seller, when I bought my old Snowspeeder from ebay, there was missing luke wearing the blue rebel helmet and two or three other parts... I contacted the seller and she send me all missing parts except one I could replace by myself.... I think most seller will be very kind and helpful when they realise that they made a deal with a real collector.... ;)
recon Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 I've got a bunch of Ancient Egypt sets. Some are listed in my ebay store. If you can't find it there, email me with the set number. I've got thousands of sets dating back as far as 1964. http://stores.ebay.com/Taras-Legos-and-Toys Thanks, Jerry P.S. I've got a bunch of the smaller sets that are not listed in the store. Drop me a line if there is something you are interested in.
ApophisV Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 Hi recon, welcome here! One question: Would you ship to Europe (especially Germany ;)) too? (Your ebay auctions say states only...) If so, how many would it cost?
Turaga Matau Posted December 11, 2004 Author Posted December 11, 2004 Recon, I looked in your link, and I didn't see any Egypt sets. I am interested in mostly any Egypt stuff, but more so the bigger sets, rather than just the smaller vehicle sets. ~Dylan/Matau/Turaga Matau/TuragaMatau
recon Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 Yes, I ship worldwide. I know we had a ka-zillion ancient egypt sets in inventory. I'll have to find out why they aren't listed. We may have sold out of the last groups we listed. I'll list all of the Johnney Thunder sets we have in inventory......from all the series. 7409 1383 7411 7412 7410 7413 7420 2996 5938 shows 1. have to check 5903 5904 2995 5914 5958 5978 shows 1. have to check 5986 5987 5975 5956 5955 7414 5381 accessory pack 5902 wow, I guess we have pretty much sold out of the Ancient Egypt sets. I know lately there has been a pretty good run on them. Only a few sets above are from that series. I'll do what I can to help fill your collection. Prices are typically the original retail price times 1.25. If I come across any MISB big sets, I'll post them here before I list them in the store. Thanks, Jerry
Turaga Matau Posted December 13, 2004 Author Posted December 13, 2004 Okay, thanks!! And when you get bid MISB sets and list them here, will you only except money, or other LEGOs, too? And I live in the US, is that a problem? I can ship worldwide, and I can do PayPal, too. ~Dylan
Turaga Matau Posted December 19, 2004 Author Posted December 19, 2004 Apophis,I got the set today. It was missing a few more pieces than the item description indicated >:( .

The ones that I've found missing so far are: one 8 x 6 blue plate (this was included, but was in reality a 10 x 6 plate that someone had cut down! :oo ), three skulls :^^D , two 1 x 4 brown plates.

And the base plate has a few cracks in it (which have been taped :| ) Still interested? Steve, who is thinking about sending my seller the definition of the word "complete" I decided that enstead of the past few years when I just got every BIONICLE set, or most, anyways, that in 2005 I am enstead going to get a bunch of Egypt and Amazon sets and Egypt and Jungle colored bricks and make a bunch of Adventurers MOCs, so I decided that I am interested in it, and the missing pieces don't matter, as they don't really matter for MOCing. The skulls would have been nice, though.... But oh, well. ~Dylan
Athos Posted December 20, 2004 Posted December 20, 2004 I decided that enstead of the past few years when I just got every BIONICLE set, or most, anyways, that in 2005 I am enstead going to get a bunch of Egypt and Amazon sets and Egypt and Jungle colored bricks and make a bunch of Adventurers MOCs, First off: good choice. I just don't get the Bionicle craze at all. And we need more adventurer's MOCs. Just don't go infringing on my AoJT idea ;). I am interested in it, and the missing pieces don't matter, as they don't really matter for MOCing. OK. I'm still interested in selling, but not right away. I'm actually planning an AoJT that I'll need two of them for. In a few months I should be ready to part with it. Also, another issue I hadn't considered is shipping. Since this is Eurobricks, I bet the shipping would get to be pretty high. Where are you located? The skulls would have been nice, though.... But oh, well. I could easily throw in some skulls from my collection. Or there seems to be 3 or 4 in every set now, so they shouldn't be too hard to come by. I'll keep you posted, Steve
Turaga Matau Posted December 21, 2004 Author Posted December 21, 2004 I live in Minnesota, in USA. Dylan
