Im trying to find a good home in my area for all my Legos. I dont want to sell them on ebay becuase im worried about shipping all this stuff (there is quite a bit). I have sets from StarWars, Alpha Team, Space, and others. I have some instruction booklets, but not all. If anyone is ever going to be in the Atlanta area and is interested in Legos for themselves or their kids, please let me know. I would like to sell them, but i can guarantee they would all be extremely cheap. if i can get rid of everything all at once, i would rather do that. I will try to get some pictures put up on the internet within the next few days. Please reply if interested.

I am interested if you have an amount (quantity and price).
I am not a fanatic, infact I own NO legos. As a kid I loved them. I have a son who is getting to the age to appreciate legos. I also have a nephew and neice who are around 6.

I LOVE Legos, but have very few of them. My brother got the legos in the family, all I got were the older King Arthur type sets.
What Star Wars sets do you have? Those are the ones I really care about, and how much do you want for them? This is of course contingent on your willingness to ship the legos to Detroit, but I'll pay extra if it's really that much of a hassle.
Legos and Star Wars though.....that's the best combination ever. ::giddy as a small child::

hmm, i have enough to fill a good size kitchen table. im going to see if i can put some pictures up on the internet within the next couple days. let me get the pictures up so you can see all the sets i have, then we can talk a price. i also have a few sets from the new EXO-Force collection which u can see at the Lego homepage.
Posted by human_2.0 (Member # 6006) on :
EXO-Force? Why are you selling them? Do I want to associate with you?...
Hehehe. Yeah, I'm a fanatic, but I don't buy a lot. Maybe I will just for you because you're on the forum.
Do you have lots of red bricks? I could use some (I've kinda used all mine up).

Do you have the castle set?
I've been asking for the castle set every christmas since I was very small.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
I have two castle sets.
We wrote to Lego asking for a replacement piece for the first one, it was the only piece missing, and they sent a whole new set.
If you're seriously interested I could go out in the garage and try to find them.

any of u guys in/near atlanta?
Posted by krynn (Member # 524) on :
making Lego animations has always been something that i have wnated to do but it seems to take up too much time and it would be hard for me to add in all the special effects i would want... bleh
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
Lyrhawn, that would be AWESOME.
krynn, I used to live near Atlanta. Posted by Space Opera (Member # 6504) on :
What a weird coincidence - Boy Opera spent the entire evening making some sort of ship port thingy for his Star Wars legos.

K Mac, I'll try to get to that this weekend sometime. There's a photo album I need to find first, but as soon as that is found, I'll venture into the abyss, ahem, I mean my garage to try and find them. It's possible they are all mixed together with other sets, and I don't know if I have the instructions or not. So don't get your hopes up, but I'll look.
Posted by krynn (Member # 524) on :
ok, today im charging the batteries for the digi camera and ill take several pictures of the legos in the early afternoon. First ill take pictures of just the themes, then group shots of everything together.

I spend nearly all of my free time working on animations and I don't have much to show. I'm hoping to fix that very very soon. I've had some recent inspirations and I think I am going to put off some longer term projects in favor of sort term gratification!
I'm in need of someone to help me with a story too.. I could use some fresh help, as I'm too *deep* to come up with a good story on my own I think. I'm actually trying to get stuff together so I can state what is and isn't possible to do in the story...
I'm in Salt Lake City. Like Lyrhawn, I wouldn't mind spending extra on shipping. I *suppose* I could let Lyrhawn buy the Star Wars sets... But actually, I'm tight no cash right now. I'm always interested in Legos, but if someone else wants them first... :must resist urge to demand ALL ARE MINE: Posted by Beren One Hand (Member # 3403) on :
Thank goodness this isn't a Legolas thread.
Posted by IanO (Member # 186) on :
Yeah, I wouldn't mind picking up some more Star Wars legos too. Let me know what you have and how much.

I sense a Star Wars lego bidding war coming on...
Beware, I'm a fanatic!! We do crazy stuff!
James -
If you want help with the story on your lego thing, I'd be happy to attempt to help, you'd just have to tell me what sort of story you are looking for. Give me some parameters to work with and I'll take a swing at it.

My name is Daniel. I have Chrismas money. I live in Oklahoma. Will you send me some? My mom is Boon. She will help me pay you.
Posted by human_2.0 (Member # 6006) on :
I guess the kid gets the Legos. Can't really compete with a kid
(BAD kid, Go to your room!)
Lyrhawn. Cool! I'm rapidly approaching critical mass. I'll have something to show soon.
Posted by IanO (Member # 186) on :
Yeah, let LegoMan have it.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
I'll relent to let LegoMan have first dibs.
Posted by IanO (Member # 186) on :
But if he foregoes any Star Wars legos, I'd appreciate it if you let us know.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Cause then it's on. ::fightbell::
Posted by krynn (Member # 524) on :
omg, its so simple, and awesome... darn! im supirsed i didnt come up with the name LegoMan for myself! ok, the camera's batteries died on me just now, but i have some first few shots. let me get them online and ill post again in a lil while with a link.
Posted by krynn (Member # 524) on :
bleh, where is a good place to put up pictures? im trying to start an account at deviantart.com, but i want all my pics to be on the same page together...
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
ok, here are a few pics of some of them. note that this a huge table with most of my legos on it, and most of the table is star wars. i havent really gotten to take too many pics yet. and the worst part is that i dont think there are any star wars lego pics yet. im charging the batteries again now, and ill try to take some more in the morning. sorry guys, but this isnt my camera, and im not buying new batteries for someone else. more pics to come.
Lyrhawn, see this thread.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
K, I posted there, but apparently you left online in the 20 minute window between when you posted and when I posted.
And that Serenity thing is friggin awesome.
Posted by Olivet (Member # 1104) on :
Um, my boys are into leggos big time. We have a huge footstool/storage bin full of 'em (about as deeep/long as a coffin, but narrower).
I'll be at WenchCon, too. Have you decided on price?
Posted by Boon (Member # 4646) on :
Sorry, LegoMan will be unable to purchase any Legos at this time. He had to use his money to make amends for some wrongdoing. Thank you.
Posted by krynn (Member # 524) on :
hehe. thats funny and understandable. Im hoping to actually not have to ship any of the Legos. So if anyone is in/near atlanta and wants them all, great. there are just under 50 extra minifigs that dont go with the sets shown. there are 2 Red Lego suitcases filled with random bricks, and there about 30+ robots ive made from spare pieces over the past few years. all together im asking $250. i think if anyone locally is interested they would get priority, and if need be, i can hold them all for a few weeks for anyone as long as they assure me they are seriously interested and willing to buy. if need be, i can ship the sets.. but just know that the price would go up a bit to cover the packaging and shipping costs.
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
aw, LegoMan. pwned!
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Update us on whether or not anyone locally doesn't want them.
If you're forced to ship, I'll still be interested with whatever Star Wars stuff you have.
Posted by krynn (Member # 524) on :
ok, i think im going to keep looking for someone in my area for the next couple weeks. if not then i will post again in here or make a new thread. if anyone has any more questions/comments about the Legos they can reach me at,

Posted by IanO (Member # 186) on :
That's too bad, Boon. My boy has had to do the same thing with his allowance. Gotta learn, though.
Posted by krynn (Member # 524) on :
everytime i see this thread come back to the top of the list i always get hopeful that someone wants the legos...
instead i now know that some of your kids have gotten into trouble and that they have to spend money to fix the situation. hehehe, that actually happened to me a couple times when i was little.
Posted by IanO (Member # 186) on :
Hey, my boy would love them. Understand, though, about the not wanting to ship. But if you change your mind (esp with SW legos) let me know. Address above.
Posted by Juxtapose (Member # 8837) on :
Lego fanatics who don't live in atalanta and are spare on change might be interested in this. Posted by krynn (Member # 524) on :
wow, that is really cool.
Posted by human_2.0 (Member # 6006) on :
LDD (Lego Digital Designer) is kinda funny. Those "custom" sets are really just bags of pieces that you get to choose from to build a model. If you need more pieces, you have to get another bag, doubling the price for just one extra piece. Not really the right thing for hobbiests who know what they are doing.
Hobbiests who know what they are doing buy their parts from Bricklink.
Posted by krynn (Member # 524) on :
IanO, i sent u some emails saying that i have some SW sets saved for u. i just need some info from u. i emailed u at the email you have in your profile. u can get back to me at keithfender@yahoo.com
