Could be interested depending on prices, if they’re after daft ebay style ones they’ll be better off listing them though tbh
Just give an idea of which ones you are after and which a price and I will pass it on for you. They are not being given away but on the same note not taking the mic either.Got a Haunted House too.

I emptied my huge Lego crate into the spare room last week, chipping away at sorting it all into colours when I get a spare bit of time. Got over 40 instruction books to then dig out the bits for!
Very therapeutic, it's all City stuff and my son has got heavily into it so it'll be nice to give him all the sets to build soon.

My son got the Octan Garage, 60132, for his birthday today. It was new from Argos, all bags sealed. There are a ton of pieces missing, never had that happen before, mostly from the little tow truck that comes with it. All four wheel arches are missing, one trans 1x2 and the windscreen! The street sweeper was also missing two blocks but we had some of those, albeit in the wrong colour, in our box of bricks.

Contact lego, they are normally really good at sending out replacement parts.Did quite well yesterday, the Mrs has just finished Assembly Square and woke up yesterday saying she wanted a new one to start.
I couldn't see any in stock anywhere locally, so went on a quick mission!
Jumped on the train at Huntingdon to Kings Cross, straight to Leicester Square Lego store.
Thankfully they had some!
She got the Parisian Restaurant which she had wanted for ages, and I grabbed the Mini, which I had also been threatening to buy for ages too.
I was going to get the Mack truck, but as I plan to get the Bugatti I thought I'd go for the cheaper option.
She had £10 on her VIP card, so used that for a little discount.
Turned out it was double points yesterday, so that added another £20 on the card.
As we went to walk out she thought sod it, I'm going to grab the Diner too while I'm here, with £20 dropping it to £109
Quick pizza hut and straight back to the train home. Mission accomplished

Expensive but a must have (for me anyway). Whilst the movie wasn’t great, it was fun to watch and I maintain it’s much better if you treat it as a movie-length daft punk video rather than a movie with a daft punk score 
Thanks to the PHer who sold me what could only be described as s
t-ton of lego in two very large boxes. I'm in the process of going through it all (there's a lot) but some of it is quite sun damaged...
Some research later and many trips to many pharmacies and I'm in the process of reconditioning it all - I'll post up some before/after photos in due course as the methodology is working (albeit slowly).

I've done a part-ex on my Mini Cooper for a Mk1 Golf Cabriolet
4 quid for the instructions on Rebrickabl. The only thing it needs that isn't part of the Mini set is the smaller steering wheel and optional VW round tile on the grill.
I've only built the chassis floor so far, the instructions are very easy to follow

It's an excellent build, I'm enjoying it more than the Mini I think!
There are a few fragile bits, for example the front splitter is held on with a 1x1, where it would be better with a 2x1.
Obviously you can swap it, but I think he has kept it as the 1x1 to make it possible to build with just the Mini set.
The detail is fantastic, as good, if not better than the Mini.
