Selling off my collection (Southwest Ohio, USA) /sets/ownedby-ToddMyersIf anyone is in the Southwest Ohio / Northern Kentucky / Southeast Indiana region and would be interested in any of my sets, please let me know. Currently, all sets are built and I have saved all original instructions and packaging for 99% of my collection. Pricing is available on request.Until I get a bit more time and can better get a handle on breaking down sets, I am focusing on local sales and am generally avoiding eBay and BrickLink. I'm in no rush to sell, and note that this is not a fire sale, so resellers likely won't find much that will appeal to them. I am not opposed to selling and shipping beyond the local region, but depending on the size of the set, it may take me a little bit of time to break the set down and get it shipped out.~Todd @Ronyar Thanks, and I agree -- if I really want to make a dent in my collection, local sales are simply not going to cut it (so far, I've only had minimal luck on Craigslist, and most of my sales have been to collectors that I personally know here).
Ebay and BrickLink are definitely in my future, but the amount of prep work to be done before I seriously pull the trigger on either one of those is just shy of overwhelming at the moment. I have started a BrickLink store (a whopping 4 sets to date), and will likely post additional sets as I work through the collection.Shoot me a message about the sets you may be interested in and maybe we can work something out. I'm certainly not opposed to non-local sales, particularly if a buyer is ok with a small delay while I disassemble and pack it up. One more thing -- My Statue of Liberty includes a custom base (originally designed by Cameron Bethel). The base alone is close to 7000 bricks and I think it weighs more than 20 pounds, so shipping on this one will be through the roof. Hoping for a local buyer on this one. @Gooker1 - it is! I cannot say enough about the designer, Cameron Bethel. He also created a model of the NY Stock Exchange that was phenomenal. I also have the Citizen Brick Breaking Bad set, along with the Albuquerque Action Squad.
I would let both of these go for $500.I could only find a pic of my Superlab set -- I can snap a pic of the Action Squad if someone wants to see it. I live in Newport and am interested in some of your stuff depending on the price. In particular are 10231: Shuttle Expedition, 10189: Taj Mahal, 10197: Fire Brigade, 10211: Grand Emporium, 10224: Town Hall, minifig collectors series (4,5,6,7, 11)Also, I didn't see it, but with the extent of the collection would assume I probably just missed it. The Haunted HouseI would consider the Green Grocer, Market Street, Cafe Corner, etc but I know my answer to their cost is gonna make that a moot point....There's no way I will take all or even most of those, but that's what I'm interested in depending on how much that will make my wallet hurt! @Averhoeven - message sent! To clear up another question that has cropped up -- generally, for any sets currently available on the LEGO website, I will take 10% off of retail. Some exceptions apply (e.g., #70751 is still sealed, so I'm asking full retail on that one -- will likely only work for a local pick-up because I cannot match LEGO's free shipping).
Also, @Averhoeven -- please let me know if you received my PM. One interesting piece from my collection, and one of the few sets that I still have sealed. Set #8143 with a March 2007 "Last Production Run" gold sticker. These stickers were apparently put on the last run of sets back when Enfield CT was shutting its production facilities down. I'm asking $150 for it. Set #8143 with the Last Production Run sticker is no longer available. Series 3 CMFs are also gone. Another unique item: 810004 LEGO Collector's Guide, Premium Edition.This one is numbered 0937 out of 3333, and when flipped upside down, the number looks like "LEGO". Comes with the minifigure and two printed bricks, along with the original packaging. Book is still sealed in original cellophane wrap. @dougts - PM sent. Another unusual item: A LEGO Retailer's sign. The sign is glued on one of the rare 48x48 white base plates. It is bowed a bit from the glue, and I've been told by several people that a low temperature oven may flatten it out, but I haven't been inclined to try it out.
Send me a PM if you are interested. Two more items that are not listed in my Brickset list: The Tiger Mosaic and Cat Mosaic from 2003. The instructions on these are a bit interesting -- simply a photocopied black and white page that lists a grid with the corresponding 1x1 color placement.The Tiger Mosaic that I have actually came with a set of alternate instructions that should have never been sent with the set - I came up short by 60 or so black 1x1s. I was able to obtain a copy of the original instructions, so I will include both with the Tiger Mosaic (along with the extra 60 black 1x1s in case you want to make the alternate version).Both include the original box (although the box for the Cat Mosaic has seen better days). Send me a PM if you are interested in either.This is the alternate build (notice the row of missing 1x1s -- I eventually purchased enough to fill in the blank area). I prefer the original to the alternate. Two other relatively rare sets:#19710 Brickstructures Sears Tower#19720 Brickstructures John Hancock CenterThese were limited run sets for what I assume was a test run of what ended up being the Architecture line.
Both boxes are open, but the contents are still sealed.Asking $150 for the Sears Tower and $120 for the John Hancock Center, or both for $250. @cturcotte224 - PM sent Sign In or Register to comment. This article is about the product range of Lego sets. For the video game, see Lego Racers (video game). Lego Racers was a product line (or theme) of the construction toy Lego. The range was first introduced in 1975 with a Formula 1 car model.[1] However, the brand only really started to become a core theme in 2001, with the release of a series of mini racecars. Made from only a small number of large bricks, these toys were designed more as racing car toys than a construction toy, and included a launcher element (which doubled up as a storage container) that could be used to propel the vehicles. Over time, the theme has developed, bringing it more in line with the style of other Lego products, whilst still encouraging a racing form of gameplay. The theme has also included licensed models of real-life high-speed cars, such as a Lamborghini Gallardo and a Ferrari FXX.
