airsoftg36c Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 So after April first, do we PM you, or will you PM us? What's the next step? If this is an Aprils fool joke, I'm killing someone....
AhabDarab Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Jim reconsider what your doing. Walking away I can understand, but giving it all away? I'm certain you have thought this through fully, but think it over one more time. If you really are wanting to leave it all behind, I am a castle collector. I would be interested in anything you might wish to give. I will admit, the timing of your post is interesting. Ahab out...
Callum Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) (Edit) I see all the Hello Kitty jokes have been done already... Damn! Edited April 1, 2011 by Callum
Artanis I Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 I'll take your rather extensive Hello Kitty Oxford collection. May I have all your jellybean knights? Any pink BURPs too thanks...
Iysk Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) If you are really giving this up, I would like a share of it. But it seems kinda sad that you're considering this, I second the reconsideration, even if it means me not receiving free Legos. I wouldn't want you to do something you'll regret. EDIT: I skimmed through and if this is true, I'd just about anything. If you have any sets I could have from this list I'd like: Ninjago, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Pharaoh's Quest, Atlantis, Batman, Space Police, Toy Story, Knights Kingdom, City, and any other Sci-Fi & Sport related legos. I'd like black and white System parts in addition to female minifigs, and male ones too. But if it is just one set, I'd love the TIE Fighter one for black parts. Or an Indiana Jones sets with motorcycles or food sets. Edited April 1, 2011 by Iysk
Bricks2000 Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 If this is not a joke, then I'd be interested in some SW sets. But if you reconsider this, then I'd be happy too.
Edbrick Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 This is an odd thread- I you are sure you want to give it away I'd love some Indy, star wars or spiderman lego Thanks :)
Ro87n Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 I can see the female Minifigs 'walking' my way, but if this is an April's Fool they just badly teased me So if you're realy giving away Lego sets (I would buy and/or pay for shipping to Europe) I'm also taking the sets that the female figs appaired in. And it's April the 1st... Still no second thoughts? And admit this was just a (pretty good) April Fools?
carnybaby Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Wow if this is an april fools day joke its a great one :) If not then im sure me and the kids would be happy for any baseplates or misc pieces you have (they fight over them all the time :) )
JimBee Posted April 1, 2011 Author Posted April 1, 2011 April's fool Jim? I sure hope so for you mate! If not, I'd love it if you could send me your foliage and various City stuff Cheers, Benny I takes free Lego to get you to come back to EB? Sheesh. I'll take your rather extensive Hello Kitty Oxford collection. Dammit. I was hoping no one realized I had those... So after April first, do we PM you, or will you PM us? What's the next step? If this is an Aprils fool joke, I'm killing someone.... I will post a list of the interested parties in order, and then I will PM them one at a time. I will probably have to make a cutoff point somewhere, I didn't expect so much interest. I will probably limit each party to one or two sets, depending on their size, or a large bag of assorted pieces for those who want them.
streifen Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 JimB, do re-consider before moving away from Lego. can always keep them for memories. though if u are giving away, i could use some sets from the City Police. I would gladly pay for postage and handling to Singapore. then again, re-consider.
Ro87n Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 I takes free Lego to get you to come back to EB? Sheesh. I will post a list of the interested parties in order, and then I will PM them one at a time.

Not sure how many female Minifigs you have, but I believe you must have quite a bunch out there. Like I've said before I would take any female fig (and or with the set). But since you didn't reply on my post I think you didn't even read them or you're just ignoring me (which I hope is not the mather).
IAmWillGibson Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 I love how this thread has demonstrated some kind of fundamental cautious agnosticism among forum-dwellers. No one believes the offer to be true. And yet no one will risk not asking for free LEGO. You know... just in case. Also, pink and Hello Kitty and such and so forth. Just to fit it.
Fugazi Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Not sure how many female Minifigs you have, but I believe you must have quite a bunch out there. Like I've said before I would take any female fig (and or with the set). But since you didn't reply on my post I think you didn't even read them or you're just ignoring me (which I hope is not the mather). Calm down, you're not the first on the list! Why don't you wait for JimB to organise this just like he mentioned 2 posts above yours?
lightningtiger Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Well, 'JimButcher' if you must you must.....my son loves minifigs - any kind (it helps with his scaring on his hands burnt wheh he was 20 months old....he turns 11 1st May), the wife doesn't mind how many he has. I guess SW and HP sets he loves as well....especially ROTS and most HP. I won't ever do what you are doing, bitten by the bug after 30 years....it's back with me till the day I die.....Brick On Forever !
frogstudio Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Sad to hear you're moving out of this passion... but well, everyone has his time... I' would be interested in your give away. I'm basically into Castle, Town and trains... Many thanks!!!!
yumiyoshi Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) If there's any Indiana Jones or Town or Creator or Ninja .... please, count me. Of course paying all the expenses to Europe. I'm sorry to hear about your decision though. Edited April 1, 2011 by yumiyoshi
Churchill Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 I don't believe it. I just don't. And I agree with IamWillGibson. I'm amazed that while everyone is skeptical, everyone is still asking for Lego.... I feel like the lure of free Lego is clouding everyone's minds... rational people are buying this hook, line and sinker. I suppose it could be ME who's the biggest fool on Eurobricks..... and if so I'll eat humble pie.
SilentMode Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Somewhere very hot and fiery awaits if this is simply a dragged-out April fool's joke! and it's not a tropical resort! Having said that, if it's a genuine offer then I'll consider whatever's left, if anything.
RubeusHagrid Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 I will post a list of the interested parties in order, and then I will PM them one at a time. I will probably have to make a cutoff point somewhere, I didn't expect so much interest. I will probably limit each party to one or two sets, depending on their size, or a large bag of assorted pieces for those who want them. Yes!!! I'm near the top. Does that mean I'll get a fair pick? Are you sure you don't want us to cover shipping? Around how much will each person get? Thanks
estephano (DE) Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Hi JimButcher, I still don't know whether this is supposed to be an April fool... it seems so unreal to me. However if you really intend on giving away your Lego I'd be very much interested in any Legoland/Town/City, Collectible Minifigures Series 1, Studios and Minifigs in general. I'd even pay the postage... so, hoping to hear from you back Thanks, estephano
Eskallon Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 I will take HP, Star Wars and Jelly Bean knight sets seen as nobody else will want them. Now, I bet this is an april fools.
Scorpiox Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) So sad to see this , but i'll be happy to take any castle off your hands! I don't mind not getting sets, I would be fine with figs and parts. Hope you find happiness in whatever you choose to do now! After JB told us: Silly me, but all good fun!
