I purchased a set of Lego 4679 at Toys 'r Us that had 1513 pieces
and it included an extra 500 pieces for about $20.
The set contained too many small pieces, that's why it was only a penny a piece.
There weren't enough bricks for building. I wanted more 2x4's and other larger pieces.
I checked the Lego site, and 2x4's were 14 cents each.
So I purchased 16 pounds of Legos on eBay.
I paid about $80 ($5 per pound) and there were over 3400 pieces.
While it's nice to have so many pieces, there are problems with used Lego.
| 1. | There are different shades of the same color. |
| 2. | Many pieces are nicked and scratched. |
| 3. | They don't fit together as nice as new Lego. |
Would I buy used Lego on eBay again?
It's not really a bargain, I would buy on eBay for specific parts and
only if it's less than $5 per pound or only a few cents per piece.
My advice for buying used Lego on eBay
Make sure of what you're buying. Study the pictures,
or you could end up with a bunch of expensive junk Lego.
My best advice for buying Lego
Just buy different sets of Brand New Lego.
