Hi folks, I just posted over 100 rare and interesting old LEGO bricks from 1949-56 era. These include items as cheap as 25 cents, going up to $12 for the very rare 2x14 bricks, sold only from 1954-56. These were retired in 1956, and were never used (...)

Adding 3 sets of 999 (for close to the 3,000 parts that someone quoted) 2x4 bricks shows me (...) (17 years ago, 13-Jun-07, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Both of you spent almost three hours filling your green tubs. Then, to be able to actually use the pieces you carefully packed, you had to disassemble them all once you got them home.
