I have a ton of pirate/castle Lego sets from the 80s-90s that I have most of the instructions and (almost) all pieces for. They are just partially built and in storage bins. Don't have the time to go through and inventory everything. I've put together a few smaller sets but it's too overwhelming to catalog atm. I'm sure it's worth a decent amount but the time it requires is just too much

One of these days I'll enlist my kids to do it...

I have the two pirate ships, two clipper ships and a few M-tron and Black-tron sets. All partially built and in storage bins. I also still have the instructions for them.

I feel like I eventually have to buy instructions for all mine. I can't see taking them apart and packaging them up without that. Once again, trashed by parents back in the day. I've looked around. Looks like 25 bucks or so depending. I'm sure prices vary

Love me some Lego. There's always potential to hit the jackpot with one of those old sets. You just have to make sure that all the pieces are there before you try to sell it as complete...because, believe me, people will check when they get it. Bricklink and Brickset are good places.

You guys should check out "MRN Bricks" on YouTube, you know, if you're bored and need something to do on the John.

^ It's pretty amazing I got this for my 4th birthday and it is still in this shape and state in 2019





I'm biased, but I think the Crusaders were the best Lego series of all time.
And then of course the Black Falcons, Black Knights and Wolfpack were great too
If I had the crazy cash to blow I would absolute track down sealed sets for all of those





















More than any others, I think these Dragon Masters sets captured my imagination as a child most of all

The last Lego series that I truly have major nostalgia and admiration for was the Wild West sets of 1996
Between getting the PS1 and N64, these sets really take me back to what seems like yesterday in the aisles of Toys R Us
I think I eventually owned every set in this series.
I thought the use of the dynamite pieces setting off spring loaded explosions was absolutely genius
And I liked the comics that were tied in with this era in the magazine. I thought Lego took a steep drop off after this.

I forgot all about the wild West sets!! Those were some of my favorites. Also, black knights Castle is an all time fave.

I went on BrickSet and I think I was a little too honest with my sign up info... Because they denied me. I was like "wanting to sell some LEGO"... Oops. Anyways, if anyone wants to buy some castles at a crazy good value and a bunch of random mini figs let me know .. or if you know anyone.

I think I'm gonna keep the barracuda. That's a childhood favorite of mine

Yeah that forum has me beyond confused. There are stores you have to open up, and you have to make a purchase first, which is fine... But I can barely figure out how to do that. I need to play around on there for a while. I'm usually not this inept

I found a guy on eBay with a stockpile of these Treasure Carts from 1992 so I obviously had to get one

Back in the days when every LEGO guy was smiling. Even the bad guys and ghosts. I loved the Space Police sets (both the green-themed and the later red-themed ones) and for some reason the aqua-something theme that was centered around gathering underwater crystals had me mesmerized. Also the space shuttle and its evolution through the years.

I still have bins of Legos (yep, that's what everyone called 'em) and a small stack of instructions. I wonder if I could bring myself to sell them.
