Lego Cornucopia for Sale - $550

The entire collection stored.


I'm unloading my Legos. Any readers in the LA-area who may be interested should email me at the address on the right pane. (Original CL listing)


Lego Bonanza!

I am selling my enormous Lego collection. These are the pieces from the collections my cousin and myself acquired over the years. This is an excellent buy for a hardcore collector seeking older, rare pieces; an entrepreneur who wants to assemble the sets to sell on eBay for a profit; or a parent wanting to give their lucky kid the power to build worlds!

Highlights of the collection include over 338 figures (head + torso count), over 105 castle wall pieces, over 82 castle corner pieces, complete sets (within 99.9%) of the first three original Pirate ships (plus parts from an additional, probably incomplete Black Seas Barracuda), the Ice Planet Deep Freeze Defender, and more.

All pieces have been played with. The majority of the pieces are in good condition. Some white pieces have faded and other pieces, like a few of the pirate flags, have been chipped.

My cousin’s collection featured predominantly Castle and Town Legos from the early 1980s to the early 1990's. I have no building instructions from his collection and a handful of pieces show BB gun damage. I acquired his collection in the late 90's and took care of them since.

I took care of my own pieces much better, which I collected mostly from the mid 1980s to the mid 1990s. Bellow is the list of building instructions I still have; the collection includes at the very least the following complete (within 99.9%) sets:

***most parts separated from collection into individual bags


Unless listed as being separated from the main collection, basic building pieces (and some specialty pieces) are sorted by color. All figure-related pieces are sorted by type (head, torso, legs, headwear, weapons, etc). Specialty castle and pirate pieces (rock walls, bridges, wagon wheels, etc) have also been sorted into one bag. All pieces are well-sorted, but not perfectly sorted; some minifigs may be in basic parts bins, etc.

Buyer purchases the collection as-is, though I am reasonably certain that all pieces to the listed sets are included.

I’m asking $550. If someone were to assemble the sets with instructions and sell complete sets and residual pieces on eBay I believe the collection could fetch $800.

Of course you may inspect the collection, which is located in Echo Park, before purchasing.

There's no way I can buy all those legos but I'm totally jealous. My bro and I used to have all the Space ones. I have no idea where they are now. My mom probably trashed them. Damn her!
