May 15, 20168 yr One of fhe wealthy areas of my region had a large yardsale fest. This mom made her son sell a large portion of his lego collection. I ended up haggling for a bucket of random stuff for $10. In the bucket I ended up getting the last two tank droid sets including Jango Fett. Things get better. There was also the x- wing microfighter and the old republic sith vs republic battle pack. For $10 that was not a bad haul.
May 15, 20168 yr Picked up the Resistance X-Wing microfighter on a whim with a gift card to get that wonderful TFA poster.

I went to a big yard sale yesterday in the afternoon but there was no Lego there. I should have gone earlier..
May 15, 20168 yr With no hope for any more LOTR or Hobbit Lego sets i have decided to switch to Star Wars. Since i like the Clone Wars era the most my first two sets to buy were: 75021 Republic Gunship & 8039 Venator class Republic attack cruiser.

If he's a teenager who lost interest in Lego, maybe his mom viewed it as clutter. Glad though a serious FOL was able to buy the collection instead of it being lost in random places.

May 16, 20168 yr His mom made it sound like this was only a small part of his collection, still though that must have sucked. The bucket was probably $300 worth of legos, there were a couple $100 city and space sets which will prove very useful in MOCing. As I was buying the bucket though I was going to give the money to his mom. She shook her head and told me to give it to him. The kid was right there watching me root through his stuff Here's the thing he was probably around 12 or 13. I couldn't imagine how i'd feel if I were him. I had only brought $30 foolishly. He had other sets bagged at a third of their original price including a whole bunch of Pirates of the Caribbean. I think I got all of the Star Wars. I don't feel completely guilty because somebody was going to buy them, and at least I know I can attempt to make some pretty good MOCs out of them. Edited May 16, 20168 yr by Forresto
