Post your LEGO Libraries - McJobless' Collection
I was going through, organising my room for college, and I found a lot of LEGO stuff that wasn't in my LEGO bag, so I decided to collect it all and take some pictures.
Because of that, I think it's time we shared our LEGO collections for the fun of it, and so we all know who has what. Because I expect a lot of images and text, let's keep these to blog posts.
I'll first post pictures of my actual LEGO stuff as it stands, and then post some screenies of what my entire set-listing should be.
I had a LEGO-themed 18/19/20-th birthday (can't remember which), and so I've kept a lot of the (clean/unused) pieces including the popcorn boxes, cups, plates, cake decorations and (unpictured) wristbands.
I have a LEGO Sorting Head and one of the lids from the big boxes of standard LEGO bricks. There's a bunch of Subject Book stickers from a LEGO magazine.
I've lost everything except some of the parts and the board for the classic LEGO Board game, "Race to Build It". I bought that LEGO Movie sticker/activity book for the minifigure, and I got that Crazy Action Contraptions book as a present one year. Thankfully, it still has all its parts inside.
Since I got both the Collector's Edition and the Special Edition of The LEGO Movie blu-ray, I kept the Collector's Edition but took all the goodies from the special edition (sticker book, vinyl cover) and added them to my Collector's Edition box, then gave the discs away to my college for the animation department.
My Darth Vader alarm clock is weirdly enough something I use every day, and I've had that thing for 2+ years now. I have technically opened up the LEGO Club magazine package, but since it's the last one I ever got (somehow I received it while not even subscribed to them since I quit my subscription when they went to paid a while ago)I want to keep it in "decent" quality.
Not pictured is my blue LEGO Racers 2 disc I got from another 3 Pack (blue discs and all racing-games this time instead of Yellow and all LEGO games). I'm missing the case of the original Bionicle movie. The Creator and Alpha Team discs are f****ed to hell, to the point that light shines through them. That 10-pack of LEGO games is mostly in Italian, and LEGO Island is German (kindly provided by one of the members here at RRU).
All the minifigures (including the Limited Edition Vitruvius from the movie Collector's Edition box) are now part of my bricks collection, but I can confirm that I still have them in good quality. The Ultimate LEGO Book I bought upon reminiscing reading another copy from my local library, but the pages are falling out of the spine.
Lots of banners here.
I bought the Bad Cop flashlight, and I got the President Business one for my birthday. I haven't deconstructed the Sea Cow yet (thousands of parts takes a lot of time), but the box contains every single other set I had in my room which I've deconstructed in the past 72 hours, as well as bags of sorted parts from my previous attempts to organise my collection.
You can also see an official RRU sticker! Thanks Cyrem! You might also see a (mostly destroyed) green LEGO Club sticker. I used to own a giant sticker board with lots of Bionicle and LEGO City stickers, but I threw it out when I found it taking up too much space in my room.
You're looking at well over 10,000 parts sorted by colour in individual bags, locked in a draw until I can count them all and purchase replacements for the missing or broken ones.
Blacks and Light Greys. You can see my Spybot, which no longer works due to rusted battery springs and (probably) damaged internals. At least all the peg holes are in working order and the battery cover is still there. I even have the remote and the serial cable (in another bag).
The brown box contains minfigure torsos and legs that need to be shuffled around to their correct order, as well as heads that are too faded for use and other LEGO parts that need sorting. The blue box contains broken parts which I use for animation purposes.
The pen is still in my bag somewhere. I swear I'm missing a white 1x1 plate, but I won't know for sure until I finish up counting all the bricks.
I guess I must have lost or traded in my LEGO Stars II PS2 disc, but I still have the guidebook (which I bought as a talking point for my cousin and I) and the PSP version my friend gave me.
The batman mask was from EB Expo, and does contain an image of Batman's mask on the opposite side.
Now that we've seen the images, let me show you my set list:
In total, that's (an estimated, there may still be old sets I haven't figured out based on what parts I have) 113 sets, with around 30,000 parts.
Unfortunately, I've lost some stuff as well, including:
- LEGO Club Australia Wristband (a red rubber wristband with studs on it, given out with one of the magazines)
- One LEGO magazine from the 90s, and then every LEGO Club Australia magazine from 2001 - 2010 (thrown out, destroyed and generally mistreated)
- LEGO Bioncle Alarm Clock
- LEGO Toa Tahu Nuva Wristwatch
- LEGO Island Xtreme Stunts, LEGO Rock Raiders discs (Yellow, part of a 3-disc multi pack)
- LEGO Star Wars, LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy PS2 discs
- Every piece except for a hand (x303c01, black) and a limb (x313c01, black) from the Galidor Gorm set (8311-1)
- Pretty much almost all of the boxes and over half of the instruction manuals to the sets
