legomonk Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) I don't know and I searched to see if a polybag collector thread has been started. So this is me starting one to show off my polybag collection unopened sealed sets. I love building sets, but I noticed how the smaller sets like polybags got gobbled up quickly by soccer moms looking to get out of the Lego isle cheaply and quickly, or major collectors like myself, so I started saving them up and not opening them. Now I am buying them online at places like bricklink and eBay, and have also traded with some people on here. I think I have, at least in my eyes, a good collection so far. Feel free to post your collection (I know I am not alone) here. I also try to grab the small box sets, buy two, not open one, and squirrel them away. 3305- World Team/Scottish Footballer 4899- Tractor 4900- Fire Helicopter 5625- Police 4x4 7798- Stegosaurus 7799- Cargo Copter 7800- Off Road Racer 7802- Le Mans Racer 7803- Jeep 7804- Lizard 7805- Shark 7808- Yellow Airplane 8031- V-19 Torrent 9951- Kendo Cole 9952- Lloyd Carmadon 9953- Jay ZX 30000- Medic’s Car 30001- Fireman’s Car 30002- Police Boat 30003- Road Roller 30005- Imperial Speeder Bike 30008- Snowman 30009- Christmas Tree 30015- jet ski couple 30023- Lighthouse 30026- Panda x2 30028- Wreath 30040- Octopus 30050- Republic Attack Shuttle 30052- AAT 30053- Venator Class Republic Attack Cruiser 30055- Vulture Droid 30062- Target Practice x3 30071- Army Jeep 30080- White Ninja Glider x4 30084- Jay (Blue Ninja) x2 30082- Ninja Training 30010- Trolley 30111- The Lab 30121- Grem 30132- Captain Jack Sparrow (wooden) 30133- Jack Sparrow x2 30141- Jet-Pack x2 40013- Halloween Ghost 40024- Christmas Tree 40028- Mini Hogwarts Express 2856134- Lego Card Shrine Lego Universe Exclusive Astronaut Chrome Stormtrooper LEGO Bricktober 2011 Retro Minifigure Magnets- Ninja Princess Forestman x2 Knight x2 Astronaut I will post a pic, once I get my new cam.

Pingles Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Whew! I thought this thread was about a collection of empty numbered bags from sets. Quote
owl Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Whew! I thought this thread was about a collection of empty numbered bags from sets. erm, yes, that would be weird, right? ahem nothing to see here Quote
legomonk Posted January 9, 2012 Author Posted January 9, 2012 Whew! I thought this thread was about a collection of empty numbered bags from sets. NO! lol. these are full of fun toys called Legos, sir. Quote
Hrw-Amen Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Isn't that a bit like buying collectable minifigs and not opening them? It does seem strange when they are full of LEGO. However, sad as it maybe I am also guilty of this. I cannot even really say why? It is not so much the buying of sets in shops but when we get free ones in the newspaper. I always try and get 3, one for me to open and have, one for my nephew and one to keep in its bag. I never really thought about what I was doing until I read this. Should I go and open them all right now? Probably should, but I don't expect I will. Quote

Dakar A Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 its magical \ Magic eh? Sounds like you need to get more Kingdoms polybags then? I have The Republic attack cruiser Built in bag now, nothing else off the top of my head. Dakar Quote
legomonk Posted January 11, 2012 Author Posted January 11, 2012 I do need more kingdoms ones. I missed out on 30061 I think it's the one thats only released in Europe (or at least I have never seen it here in the states). I have tried the bag building thing. It was interesting to work within those confines. I thought this would have been a more popular thread. I know I have seen many people looking for pollybags but I guess I the weird one that doesn't just open them but saves them. Quote
Piranha Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 poly bags are great and we can never have enough of them. I have the Target Practice one but no others currently unopened. HTF you know. Quote
legomonk Posted January 11, 2012 Author Posted January 11, 2012 poly bags are great and we can never have enough of them. I have the Target Practice one but no others currently unopened. HTF you know. The hard to find factor is why I am so into collecting them. I love the search. Finding sets is easy most places have tons but pollybags are like the snipe hunt of Lego. Also everyone I have I bought two of or more of each bag. So I am not losing out on the bag. Those target practice suckers came out at target store and a bought 20 of them. I opened some traded the rest or tried to. Great army builders and also what I have learned from people have traded with is quiet popular. Quote
Blondie-Wan Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 I also dig the polybags! I have a bunch of unopened ones, myself. I do intend to open and use each and every LEGO set I ever get eventually, and that certainly includes the little baggies, but I also enjoy keeping a stash of unopened sets so that every once in a while I can just reach for something for a quick building fix, and it might be an old or new set. They're just nice to have around, I guess. Similarly, I've hung onto a bunch of the collectible Minifigures packets, to open whenever the mood strikes. I've already completed sets of opened minifigures, but while I plan lots of creations that'll eventually use these figures I haven't actually done any of them yet, and so haven't needed every one of my minifigures opened and assembled just yet. I keep these "extra" packets around to open whenever I feel like having a little day-brightener or whatever. I'm actually keeping these in the LEGO Halloween trick-or-treater bag/bucket given out by TRU not too long ago. Quote
legomonk Posted January 11, 2012 Author Posted January 11, 2012 I store mine in a big Tupperware box thing. its slowly getting to small. I have another one that a store little box sets in. I find I have to store them away due to the fact I have a 6 yearold boy with poor impulse control. I came home one day and he was on his 4th bag lol! Quote

into the blue Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) I've got a quite modest collection of Star Wars polybags. I think I've got most of the regular bags, plus all the Brickmaster sets and the hard-to-find minifigs. I decided to join the 'not open' group at a very early stage of picking these up. Can't really explain why, I open up every other set I buy, just not the polybags. Weird, huh? These are the sets; 3219 - Tie fighter 6963 - X-wing fighter 6964 - Slave 1 6965 - Tie Interceptor 6966 - Jedi Starfighter 6967 - Arc 170 starfighter 6968 - Wookie attack (made from downloadable instructions) 8028 - Tie fighter 8029 - Snowspeeder (made from downloadable instructions) 8031 - V19 torrent 8033 - Grevious' starfighter 30004 - STAP 30005 - Speeder bike 30006 - Clone walker 30050 - Republic attack shuttle 30051 - X-wing fighter 30052 - AAT 30053 - Republic attack cruiser 30054 - AT-ST 30055 - Vulture droid Brickmaster sets; 20006 - Clone turbo tank 20007 - Republic attack cruiser 20009 - AT-TE walker 20010 - Republic gunship 20016 - Imperial shuttle 20018 - AT-AT 20019 - Slave 1 20021 - Bounty hunter gunship Minifigs; Chrome Vader Chrome Stormtrooper Shadow ARF trooper White Boba Fett Gold C-3P0 *Edit* Just picked up 30057 - Anakin's podracer from Toys R Us this morning.

Galaxyconquest01 Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Thats a big collection of polybags I only collect the boxed sets though. Great job keeping them sealed too. Quote
legomonk Posted March 2, 2012 Author Posted March 2, 2012 Yeah keeping them sealed is the hard part some days. Some of those set are a really fun build and if it wasn't for my collection I would have opened them a while ago. Quote
