> What interesting things have you found in your LEGO collection? I found these in somebody else's 1981-era collection: 1 blue 2x3 brick from the 60's (acetate whatever) A similar white 2x4 Hey, these might be clones, but they're GOOD clones! a broken red 2x10 plate 3 of those chunky hollow soft plastic bricks, .5x1 inch, with two square "studs" but milky-clear, not orange-red (one is a "tile" - no studs) Half a blue 1x2 shutter Some of those twisty metal how-do-you-get-them-apart puzzles half a toy plastic knitting needle a little metal button a broken shield from 677 several white plates that appear to have belt-sanded to destruction A red-orange, flat plastic Hamburgler image perched on a rod ending in a C- shaped grip. Part of a mobile? A suction dart The sticker off an Atari 2600 "space invaders*" A metal snap-on clip, vaguely fish-shaped, with a fisheye hook affixed to the tail end Crayons, bent Pencil Eraser, rock hard Armless Exxon minifig torso A round white circular stand with a peghole (hey it fits the knitting needle) 1 yellow 1x1 Tente brick A 1" black train(?) wheel made in Hong Kong A dog-chewed dk.gray bullet helmet Sparkly blue sequin A 2.5" katana A 3" sword obviously from a Masters of the Universe Another one of those 2" rivet sword-things! I'm not the only one! Maybe I should put this back on e-bay where it came from...
