I got the power rangers ninja fortress, (I was like eight) and I had to balance all the pieces on top of each other because the studs wouldn't push together without the help of a hammer. and after a few months of staying together, all the parts where the sun hit it are now a sickly yellow.

so yeah, I have a little bit of a grudge...

I bought three of the series 4. I got one Frankenstein (so meh) and TWo iceskaters -_-" It sucked. Anyway I think I will give them to the girls who I babysit.
How much do they cost in the USA here they cost two euro's, that is a lot IMO.

not only did I get a matching set of heavy duty luggage(small, medium and large rolling suitcases) but they were all filled to capacity with lego sets.

thankfully, the small one fits under my bed, just. the meduim case is going to be tricky and the large is still in the car since I don't have anywhere to store it yet.

not a bad haul for $150
Pics or it didn't happen, ffs!

It's not a store, Got Junk? is a business that loans out small dumpsters that fit in peoples driveways when they have a lot of crap to throw out, usually with housing repairs, but some people rent them when they do a massive house cleaning (which is probably where the lego was from) or when they clear out a Hoarder's house, if you've ever watched that show.
