Good lego sets, especially boxed, are still rare at car boots though.
Whilst there's always lots of toys on offer - and collectable ones like beanie
babies, corgi, etc - there is typically not much lego (down here anyway) -
Certainly never as much as I would like! There always seems to be more
playmobile than lego.
And if there is, it is often just a mixed up box full of parts, or some small
sets made up.
Finding a train, a castle, or bigger sets is difficult. Though I have got them
through this route.
The big box of mixed up parts can yield the best bargains though, like the
fabuland I sold and I hope to put a 928 and 918 combination on ebay soon as I
have finally sorted the parts, that cost me next to nowt considering the
complete price of the box of bits.
