Lego 60355 set

I saw this set at JCPenny and I have never seen it anywhere else. 2 of these same sets were on clearance so I bought both. Below are the 2 mocs I made with the combined sets. Genius in my mind!!

The above pic was my favorite view of my moc...would like to see in all gray.

Above pic shows windshield come up in a reverse way compared to others. It's the DeLorean of lego space vehicles!

The yellow satellite dishes and the blue tinted windshield are new colors to me; I don't have these in my collection. I would love to see these mocs in classic space colors vs a mishmash of different colors!

Best lego collection acquisitions

I have had some exciting deals for second hand legos. Greatest acquisition from 2/12 to 2020

1) biggest acquisition 2014 ... I went to a garage sale where there was lego polybag turkeys. In talking to the guy he said a basement full of legos. I went the next day and he brought them. The pieces were approx. 80% name Brand lego so I was disappointed as you never know if people are truly clueless vs lying about lego Brand content

2) a model train store opened but there were car sets, creator sets and technic sets. I was thrilled. I had to get rid of boxes since I ran out of room.

3) thrift store small collection. Some genius decided putting the legos in a tub with about 30 naked barbies so here I am digging through this tote and put the barbies aside..with of weird looks

4) a flea market find.

5) a store in the mall where I got a great deal...owner had 80s figurines mostly. I told him I was looking for legos and he. Had just paid $400 for a tote but I talked him down to 220$

Over the years (18) I've been lucky finding good deals.

The.only time Lego didnt help me

I was a little upset at lego this date. I got a pick a brick order. The one piece was a computer type and it was a 2c2 piece...but it was/came as DUPLO. There was no indication that it way to tell when I ordered. Here's the screenshot

This is how the description appears in the next pick a brick site below

The service person said well, that's what you bought and that it was clearly stated...I told her even the packing slip doesn't show the duplo logo

I ended the call and got a rep who was more understanding and worked with me ... I just am clearing the record that I was right. I never get to be right.

Make sure you don't get duplo on pick a brick. The one clue I could have used would have been the open studs

Here's another interesting thing about duplo and regular lego together...A gun pointed towards duplo rail...why would the duplo be on the same page?
