Market Day in town. all the stores set up on the street and have sales. got a boss Reaper mini for my DnD Rogue, some tea and two minifigs. Got artist (oh well, soul patch face and berret will be good for hipsters) and a Geisha (I found this on purpose, as I need the top knot for Toshiro Mifune...[/url]

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.

Little over $4 ea US dollars ($3.99 + tax)

Yeah, kinda steep for one minifig and 1 or 2 accessories... but I just can't help myself!

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!

We demand pics of this epic score!

i was going through the collection i got, there are a lot of megablock sets in there as well as a few other knock off brands. its going to take a while to buttplug the crap out.

don't throw it away, it is useful for nega-terrain, and vehicles.

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.

Fail.

ok, first, im not tossing anything, and 1800got-junk, is the truck service that comes by and they will clear out rooms, houses, properties,ect...

my friend didnt tell me why the guy was getting rid of the collection, just that dude spent a lot on it.

i wasnt going to pull out the medium suitcase, it is wedged in the corner between the wall and dresser and its heavy and i am lazy. but i got pics of the inside of the large and small cases.
