Detracting from the Concorde love-in.....
I have a small quantiy of 'old' Lego that now the lad is 21 is really of no use to me, or him so as I'm not really a 'collector' it'll be better off with someone that is.
Nothing is complete, mainly a load of train stuff, some boxed some not, just wondering what the best platform (no pun intended)
would be to move it on?
Seen similar sell on eBay and that would be my default option but these days there seems to be better/cheaper targeted marketing.
Was going to ask the same thing as my son wants to move a couple of sets on. Is Bricklink the best place, £20 registration fee. Has anyone used it?I have a small quantiy of 'old' Lego that now the lad is 21 is really of no use to me, or him so as I'm not really a 'collector' it'll be better off with someone that is.

I guess that's LEGO money grabbing for you.

Saw a review of the Concorde last night and it struck me how it appears to use a lot of traditional Lego building techniques - proper 3-level high bricks in primary colours. Only thing that put me off slightly was a apparent colour mismatch between the different white bricks/plates - it was really noticeable on camera and made the whole thing look a little shabby. Hopefully that was a preproduction set or something like that.
Very common with white, certain types of bricks are slightly different shades, sometimes even the same type of white bricks are not a complete match. My Star Wars Imperial Shuttle is the same, and when you start to see it you can't unsee it.PKLD said:

Would anyone have suggestions of where to sell an old set? It was picked up from charity shop by the Granny, turns out it’s about 20yrs old and unopened.
He thinks it’s not as cool as the new stuff and if it’s worth anything it would go towards a new set!
A quick search online suggests it’s worth a fair bit but seems a bit to good to be true on EBay etc (sellers asking £300+?!)
On Ebay you can filter to view sold items to get a rough average.He thinks it’s not as cool as the new stuff and if it’s worth anything it would go towards a new set!

PKLD junior is assuming it’s worth loads so wants the full size Millennium Falcon now
Then group by currency.

This sounds great! My lad is pretty poorly at the moment, so will look this out.
As an aside, he was given a Lego set by the play centre at the hospital, supplied by https://www.fairybricks.org/ I had not heard of this charity and thought it would be worth sharing with the Lego fans on this thread.
Sorry to hear about your son. That sounds like a lovely initiative, it doesn't seem like they need/accept donations of sets, presumably LEGO supply them directly?As an aside, he was given a Lego set by the play centre at the hospital, supplied by https://www.fairybricks.org/ I had not heard of this charity and thought it would be worth sharing with the Lego fans on this thread.
Going back to books, my son (9 now, but in to these books for years) absolutely loves the DK 'Visual Dictionary' books where it's basically just pages and pages of high quality images of specific sets, minifigures etc. He has a Star Wars one, Nexo Knights (remember those!) and has asked for a Harry Potter one this Christmas. I believe a Marvel one has just been released too.
The sets also have to be new for hygiene purposes being in a hospital.
Often they have mosaic builds at smaller shows with tombolas or similar to raise funds.
As mentioned above Bricktastic is most likely the biggest show in the UK and they recently put tickets on sale. They sell out pretty quickly, so if anyone is considering going, it's best to get tickets sooner rather then later as it's highly likely they will sell out before the show begins.

Back from Legoland and can only say I dont feel I got my moneys worth.
I realise they need the rides to get the people in but for me Legoland is all the mini models, etc. not a bunch of rides with random lego models scattered about. They like to rinse you on the food and drink as well. Not unexpected really but still irritating.
On the plus points, the view towards London and Windsor next to the shop at the main entrance is amazing. I never realised it was so high up. Watching the aircraft taking off from Heathrow and flying overhead took the edge off standing in the queues as well.
Still my son enjoyed it which is the main thing and went home with one of these to keep him busy during half term:

It seems that its better to spend the money on one of the LEGO Shows, like Bricktastic and spend the rest of the money on some LEGO.I realise they need the rides to get the people in but for me Legoland is all the mini models, etc. not a bunch of rides with random lego models scattered about.
