Hey, does anyone have a use for beat-up lego elements? Badly scratched, bent
or even broken? I thought someone might use them to build things that have
crashed, robots that are damaged, etc....Just curious, and I'd rather give
them to someone rather than throwing them out when I get them!

Well Scott, since I like making spaceships, I've been known to make a salvage
vessel from time to time. So it usually needs something to salvage. Are you
asking if I want them or if I use them? The answer is, yes and yes.

Tom, how would you like to be the first stop for Jambalaya Junk Box #3?
I pulled a bunch of distressed basic bricks and plates from JB#1, and
could beef them up with my own pile of discolored bricks (close to a
bucket full, though I will probably keep some). JB#3 will also have a
gallon bag of other parts in less than pristine condition (and would
welcome more of course).

(...) Ugh! Hey, if you guys want broken/dirty bricks, I've got a quart or so of 'em. Definitely have no use for them, other than nostalgia. I can still pretty much remember which of my brothers broke which one when we were kids. ;-0 Sam Wiley (24 years ago, 15-Jun-00, to lugnet.build)
