I apologize beforehand for the length of this post, I want to give as much context as possible for the readers sake. I am a lifelong fan of Lego and recently (in the past few years) have gotten back into collecting and building MOC's. That being said, I find myself in need of a little extra cash to complete payment of my college tuition. Thus, my Lego collection has got to go! I came to this site because I found good information on selling Lego in bulk and would like to try selling my collection to local(ish) fans of Lego first. With a heavy heart I have accepted that I need to take a step back from my aspiring Lego building dreams so that I can finish paying my college bills. I consider myself a textbook AFOL luker (this is really my first interaction with the Lego community) I appreciate the art of building and creating with Legos, and would ideally like my collection to go to someone that would get good use out of it. At the same time I would like to try to avoid the EBay approach and sell to someone within reasonable driving distance.
I understand that there are financial drawbacks to selling in bulk, and I am not looking for top dollar, just a fair price. Ok now to the fun stuff! My collection is essentially split into two halves; Legos sets from when I was a kid (late 90s-early 00's) and more recent sets (2013ish to current sets).All of the New Sets are %100 complete with all minifigs, instructions and boxes. (9490 is the exception) All sets are open box.76021 - Guridans Milano Ship75106 - Rebels Assault Carrier75052 - Mos Eisley Cantina75153 - Rogue One ATST21302 - Big Bang Theory 75115 - Poe Dameron Buildable Fig.70818 - Lego Movie Double Decker Couch79116 - Ninja Turtles Big Rig Snow Getaway9473 - Mines of Moria 9490 - Droid Escape* (box and instructions missing) 9678 - Bespin Cloud Car75028 - Clone Turbo TankAlso, I have a few minfigs from random series, including the Simpsons and White Boba Fett. (Can be seen in the pictures)Ok now for a brief description of the Older Sets. 7181 UCS Tie Interceptor is the only set I can confirm has all of its pieces and instructions (no box).
I know this because it is the crown jewel of my collection and I recently rebuilt it. That being said The rest of the Older Sets that will be listed have instructions (in varying conditions) but may not be complete. The pieces are well cared for and have been re-sorted into color designated bags (in attempt to organize my collection to make building easier.) You will find that, inevitably, some pieces might have disappeared over the years but the Older Sets essentially are a huge lot of parts (most) I would like to think are nearly complete, just way too much work to go and rebuild. I wanted to list the sets (that I have instructions for) so that the buyer might have a better idea of what they are getting. 8000 - Technic Pit Droid7180 - B-wing @ Rebel Control Center7515 - Tie Fighter & Y Wing7312 - Life on Mars T-3 Trike7311 - Life on Mars Red Planet Cruiser7314 - Life on Mars Recon Mech.7310 - Life on Mars Monojet8501 - Throw Bots (ski)8233/8239 - Blue Thunder against the Stinger6344 - Jet Speed Justice 6340 - Hook and Ladder6341 - Gas & Go Flyer 1723 - Castle/Pirates Combi Pack6856 - Planetary Decoder 6915 - Warp Wing Fighter 4950 - The Loader DozerI would also throw in a nice stack of Lego Mania Magazine
, the plastic storage containers seen in the pictures and any other Lego memorabilia have collected. I figured the more pictures the better and soon realized I can only have so many in a single post. Feel free to message me if you want more pictures and information, I am more than willing to provide that. I took pictures of the individual colored bags as well to show the diversity of the pieces, just wasn't able to post. Same goes for the UCS Tie Interceptor and the specs plate for it. The total weight of all the Old Sets is approximately 26.4 pounds. Other Highlights include over 200 minifigs, and some rare colors (a lot of the old dark grey). If anyone takes the time to read this post that may be uninterested in my meager collection but has some useful insight on selling Lego in bulk, any helpful tips would be greatly appreciated! Apologies if this post turns into a formatting nightmare, like I said it's my first. Thanks everyone and happy building! I will be checking back to see if there is any interest and will provide my personal email for further communication about the sale.

In 2001 and 2012, they released sets called Droid Escape (7106 and 9490.) Each time the set has been visited, it has gotten more expensive. Accordingly, the number of separate pieces has increased in each set.
This set should be the most detailed and complex of the sets released to represent this scene. In 2001 the set only had the droids. In 2012, the Escape Pod came with the droids, 2 Sand Troopers and a speeder. This time, we get 2 droids, 2 Jawas and no speeders. Most people were content with the fairly recent version. Most collectors would have preferred something else take this slot. I have never actually bought an Escape Pod, so this is my first time building it. Upon cursory examination, I thought it looked good for a $19.99 set. Then I recalled that it was a $24.99 set. After a huge sigh, I decided to go ahead and look again. REVIEW: SET DETAILSSet #: 76050Name: Droid Escape PodTheme: Star WarsParts: 197Price: $24.99 I want to talk value for a second. Instead of concentrating on the price per piece, I'll look at the actual item that we get. It's a small box, smaller than all of the other $24.99 sets released at the same time. (Why did they have to all be $24.99 anyway?)
You get 4 minifigures, which is more than any of the other sets released in this wave and price point. The number of pieces are small, but some of those pieces are big. Some people may wind up picking up a set that is open box or, want to verify the box contents before beginning a build. For this set, there are 2 numbered baggies, a sticker sheet, and an instruction book. Boy, there's a bunch of big stickers here. BAG 1: You start almost immediately with the stickers. 2 of them are trying to add depth to the curved panels. The next thing that you make is a little platform with a rounded base that will snap into the base of the Escape pod. Here you can see the platform with all of the side studs slotted in between the existing bottom and the new top. Turn it over and start creating some new shapes for the bottom. Also, please note the swinging panel. Hinged rounded panels complete the cylinder of the Escape Pod. 2 large stickers go on the inside. I hate these stickers.
I'm not sure I got them anywhere near straight. Lots of slopes go on the bottom. I was trying to remember the shape of the escape pod. Were these the thrusters? It really wasn't coming to me. I guess I could look at the box, but that's not me. You can't really see it here, but there's a platform that snaps onto the slopes. It has tiles to facilitate the opening and closing. BAG 2: The stickers on the outside actually look good and go all the way around. These stickers are really big. Thankfully, they created "seating" for the droids with a steering column. I liked how they shaped it to try to follow the curves of the ship. There's a window that you can't really see through. I'm actually liking the shaping and the way that they added a few small thrusters on here. You add some various thrusters onto the bottom platform. There's main thrusters and directional thrusters. All in all, the design is satisfactory. It is a bigger, more complex craft than any previous version.
It is satisfying to look at. I forgot to show it before, there's some Death Star plans that slot into the front of the craft. While I think that this ship looks fine, It really doesn't do a lot for me. It feels expensive for what you get. If you're not a fan of stickers or have a problem applying them straight, this is not going to be a fun set for you. There's 4 figures in this set. The more recent R2-D2 is dying for some back printing. They've updated nearly everything else on him. It must be difficult to print on curves if they're not willing to update that. The 2 Jawas are the same as the ones in the UCS Sandcrawler and the 2015 Advent Calendar. Way to devalue the Jawas on the aftermarket there LEGO. This C-3PO is unique. He's better than most of the regularly released C-3POs, but not as good as the Sandcrawler version or even the Force Awakens C-3PO polybag. Amazon will probably discount this set for most of its life. I can't imagine it staying at $24.99 if they want to sell any.
