Hooked on Marketplace

 Ive been buying legos out of control lately (mostly classic space)

It's been a busy 2 weeks.  On 8/10 I gave my pin to family so I cant by anymore.  There are just too many legos I want but dont need!

Almost got taken on facebook marketplace!

I thought i was being taken for a ride on fb marketplace.   Probably a good thing bc i was wanting more and more like an addiction 

 Here was the listing for  $50

The seller came back that night about the circled minifigures

The rest played out in Texts from marketplace 

I ended up getting everything I paid $50 for (the asking price) minus the 2 torsos

I'm so curious if I was overreacting by not giving the 2 torsos??I dont know.  I guess its the principle of changing what I paid for.

Industrial look! My favorite pics/topic!

 I dont know why but one of my favorite things to look at and make is scaffolding, trusses, towers, catwalks that have metal bars and clips to construct (industrial look).  I think it started when we went to a car factory where you could look down from a catwalk or mammoth cave crossing metal bridges and looking down.  There following pics from google show my favorite pics...I try to give credit to the people as its not my mocs.  First, me on a catwalks made from halo brand bricks

Me on catwalks above

Cool bridge above Id like to create

Above:Love the stairs and railings present.  Not true lego but still like lego/compatable (chemical plant from general jims)

Above: Stephen Niehoff made great scaffolding for a rocket launch pad

Above walkway looks so neat for with rails leaning outward.  I dont know creator of this

I like the steps above with smooth, bent stair rail

Industrial steps above

Cool use of cross beams/scaffolding look above. 

Above is a beautifully done curved staircase with "robot arm" black rails. 

Cool industrial look above

Above neat scaffolding 

Above simple rail makes bridge look complex

More scaffolding above

Above: I like the elongated fencing on the bottom edge present in Lego video game.  Good industrial look that I wish Lego would produce i.e. elongated fence.

The author Above. (Peter reid?) With awesome steel scaffolding.

Above good radial trusses tech

Above: Non lego ramps above..I like the silver twin ramp look and again a simple rail adds complexity 

Nice rail on Maersk train

I got a fair + (???) deal on Facebook

 I found a listing on ebay

I ordered it and paid 100 with shipping and taxes.  Here's what actually came.

Non lego except jack stone Keychain above

Above about 38 good legit minifigs with 6 fake legos (guys in blue suits that I thought in small pics were pilots) to make 44 people total. The lot came with several accessories and extra minifig heads

Overall im happy with this..I think it was a naive person thinking everything was true lego but unintentionally sent some non brand Lego

Did I get a good deal???  I really am not sure???  What do reader's think?

Day 12 of cleaning

 Today I just took pics of where I am so far.  Ive got small "really useful" boxes that I need to combine with other parts.  Most of those are unique pieces from those heroica sets

Day 11 of cleaning

 My neighbor kindly came this date to help me sort/make my legos more accessible.  She helped me move objects on high shelves to waist/shoulder height.

Before:

I found most of the boxes were packed well without damage..I was so happy! Esp. My airplane wings

Pics of boxes below (I just left for when I get my new shelves built!

Day 10 of cleaning my lego room

 Here's day 10 of cleaning my lego room...just found out today that a neighbor will come help me organize and make my lego room more accessible to me from sitting on my rollator seat

Above: need to get upper blue bins down and as below, more metal shelves way over my head.  

Below: I'm unsure why there is dirt on the 2 gray and back storage containers 

Piciture above=Plan to switch bins above on the shelf down to a height where I can reach them

I need another wire rack to store 7 additional boxes of lego

8 boxes need opened and shelved (two pics above)

Getting to my lego room being non ambulatory

Grab bars from basement for after parking wc then using a walker to the grab bar

Above grab bar to get to stair lift

Top of stairs looking down

Bottom of steps looking up!

Stair lift transfer to my rollator 

Finally getting to the couch from rollator 

My helper comes with me sometimes!
