heymikep Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) Hello, I am new here and I wanted to get your opinion. I have recently picked up a couple of Lego Sets and I wanted to find out more about them. I came across this posting (here http://www.eurobrick...72698&hl= &st=0) and thought you might be able to help. You mentioned about the #695 Bulk Assortment Set not having many yellow pieces, please see my images below and let me know your thoughts? I have also included some pictures of a few other items and would like more info on. Thanks! Edited March 17, 2013 by heymikep Quote

You mentioned about the #695 Bulk Assortment Set not having many yellow pieces, please see my images below and let me know your thoughts? I have also included some pictures of a few other items and would like more info on. Thanks! Well heymikep.... I've got good news and I've got great news... the good news is that you do have a 695 Bulk Extra Parts set of the early 1970s, and also a 1965-72 285 Samsonite set... which is a basic set where the set number matches the parts count. Both very nice examples! Now for the great news... you have 6 1:87 LEGO vehicles... #261-#268 1:87 cars in garages + 2 VW Beetles that are loose. If the front and back bumpers of the loose VW Beetles (part #261) are totaly intact, and they are in good condition, then they could easily sell for $50-$100 each. But as for those 4 in clear plastic garages garages with gray door and base... those are #261-#268 (I don't see a convertible... so a #266 Mercedes 190 SL is not among them).... Those are HIGHLY collectible, and I would value them at approximately $150+ each, especially if the blue "banderole" around the garage is still totally intact. Those are MISB cars in gages, and were produced from 1962-66.... and are very sought after by not only old time LEGO collectors, but also cast HO scale model car collectors. The price on these can go into the hundreds of dollars each if it's a rare color of the particular model (I saw recently a black Vauxhall Victor Estate go for $2500 in USED condition, without a box, and black Fiat 1800 go for $3235). Here's an image of a 698 and 699 multipack 1:87 boxes (very rare) that show many of the models that can be found as individually packed LEGO cars and trucks... all very valuable!! (Image from a Danish magazine).... My 2800 page Unofficial LEGO Sets/Parts Collectors Guide as a DVD download (downloading takes only 6-15 minutes).... has a chapter on all the 1;87 cars and trucks, and which are the rare colors for each auto/truck type.... it's available in the Eurobricks Bazaar listing, on my website, or on Ebay for $29.95.... as a 688MB 73 chapter desktop refrerence guide, with information not found elsewhere...

Rick Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 Hello, I am now selling my vintage Lego Sets. You can find them all here for the next week or so - link removed. Thanks for taking a look! We have rules for selling LEGO through Eurobricks. Please refer to the guidelines of the BSTF forum. Basically, we don't allow "new" members to sell through EB and we definitely don't allow members to hijack other people's topics for advertising their sales. Quote
heymikep Posted November 6, 2013 Author Posted November 6, 2013 I am sorry, I was not aware of the rule. I was just posting to my original post of Vintage Lego's. Quote
