Legoman Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 I picked up a used one of those the other day. I am most likely going to try and sell it to get more $ for grey blocks.Does anyone know if that helicopter is LEGO? EDIT: It may be this set? I have not seen this one before! Yep, thats the one. Looks like a police station or somthing in there too

BManCan Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 (edited) The month of May 2010 was very good to me as I managed to pickup several remarkable Lego finds. 1. I was one of the fortunate Canadian Lego Shop at Home buyers that was able to purchase 2 of the 10195 Republic Dropships with AT-OT Walker at a 75% discount due to a pricing error. The sale price was C$87.50 each while the regular price is C$349.99 each. These are going to make excellent birthday gifts for my son and also my nephew. 2. Found a 3450 Statue of Liberty set essentially new in box on kijiji for only C$75 3. Also picked up a Lego Mindstorms NXT 1.0 kit on kijiji for C$100 Edited June 9, 2010 by BManCan
David Thomsen Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 A co-worker of my girlfriend found a UCS Millenium Falcon in a dumpster. Our theory is that someone who works inside the building threw it in the dumpster with the intent of collecting it and selling it later, but someone else got there first. I don't think you can possibly have a luckier Lego find than that.
MrTools Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 The best luck I had was getting the UCS Batmobile and Batcave for around $30. Manly because My mom works out at a store that happened to get a late shipment put them out for half off, and added an employee discount.

LadyVargas Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 Hi Everyone! While sorting out some old toys from when I was a kid, I found I have a whole stash (maybe 40) of jumbo red & white legos, just like mentioned here... http://www.sllab.net...s/00000149.html See my other post http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=43579 I am willing to part with one at a time, or the entire set as a lot, depending on what the bids are for singles vs. the entire set. Please email to roxyred (at) yahoo.com if you are interested! LV

Sisco Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 Not bad, that's about how much they were when they first came out. Of course, they are worth a lot more now, so good job!
-JD- Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 I basically got a buch of old sets (in pieces) from a friend a few months back, mainly themes from the 90s.

Sisco Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 I passed up a Rebel Blockade Runner for $350. I bet I will regret that soon. Oh, I bet you will when in about Ten years or so It's worth at least twice that, maybe thrice.
