What is that big white door frame in the middle with the red upper part of a dutch door in it? It isn’t in #41178 and I can’t find it on BL. Is it LEGO?

pharmjod

Dunno yet. Package is in the mail. There is definitely some stuff that isn't lego. I was focused on the dragon primarily.

gelkster

Desinger are you gonna post some finds or what? ;)

spepper

Found #60138 at Walmart for 7$. I had always liked that set, but hated the price. It serves to use the app to scan sets, waiting for these great suprises!

CaptainRogers

@spepper and that's the reason I check Walmart stores. Those great finds every now and again make the trips worth it.

Got this #10134 of evilBay, after a haggle with the seller I paid £164.99 including postage. All the main, (expensive!), parts are all there but I haven't done a complete brick inventory check yet, if anything is missing I'm positive I will have it in my personal collection.

Box lid is a bit rough but instructions are in really nice condition & sticker is unused.

BTW before anyone say's it, I know I could have got a new one for for that price... 🤣

I picked up a used Fire Brigade on FB Marketplace for $85 with instructions and box. The set was extremely dusty/dirty and needed a good cleaning... don't think it's been touched since it was built. It took me the last three nights to completely disassemble the set, wash everything, and then rebuild to ensure all the pieces were present. It was missing one minifig, the refrigerator door, and part of the bell (I bricklinked everything missing for another $10).

Total investment was $95 and I'm thinking this was a decent score to add to our LEGO city. The set was actually larger than what I thought. I'm pleased.

@GentlyBenevolent do you have the newer Y-Wing UCS? Just wonder how it compares?...

I have actually bought the new #75181 UCS Y-Wing for my son for Christmas, he's 23 and recently got back from his Lego dark age after dabbling for a few years in Warhammer 40K, X-Wing & Star Wars Armada.
We are planning to have both Y-Wings together which should be quite a display if we can find enough room to put them both 😊

Just finished the breakdown & brick inventory of the #10134 and the only piece missing was a DBG 1x4 tile which I have replaced from my collection, (I may have dropped 1 on the floor somewhere while breaking down the assembled parts, DAM YOU GRAVITY !!!).
Well happy 😁

My best 24 hours of Lego ever! Last night I found an unopened box of Series 18 minifigures at Target and finally got my policeman, then this morning I spotted 79003 An Unexpected Gathering from the Hobbit and 9469 Gandalf Arrives for $20 for both on Facebook Marketplace! There's a missing hotdog but otherwise complete :) 

gelkster

^^^^c'mon Desinger man, post something

milamber

Not a massive find I guess, but picked up 12 series 18 minifigs from Argos for 99p each. Only one duplicate and a police officer as well so pleased with that.

^ Are you paying US $ in Sweden?

Powderfinger

^ Of course not, but it wouldn't make a lot of sense If everyone posted in their local currency?
But since you asked:
150 SEK
585 SEK

Trying to figure out what Djainin is.

oldtodd33

FowlerBricks

This isn't a physical find, but I got the Lego Lord Of The Rings game for free from Humble Bundle.

^^^^ so did I, also got Lego The Hobbit free from them last week. 

Kev80e

I made an offer on the James Bond DB5 Wednesday afternoon on ebay  but missed out when the counter offer came back whilst I was walking the dog and it was sold by the time I spotted it. 
The same seller either has more or it was relisted , it's from a shop, because it appeared again yesterday and I got it for £108 including postage. 
Think I got the Lego bug.

I may be wrong but I believe they are referring to this from your picture.

I'm a bit annoyed though, 'cause turns out it's a PC only game and I'm using a Mac. :( Oh well. Maybe I can play it if I ever get a PC again.
