HOUSE CLEARANCE: Huge lot of Lego sets?

Markus from Green Bay

From a house clearance:

There are 9 sets in their separate plastic bags PLUS a large lot of unusual shapes and partly assembled bits that make me suspect these are a mix of sets (but I have no idea which ones) PLUS a lot of booklets which might or might not have relevance to the parts.

Contactless pickup in Green Bay is much preferred though posting is possible. If you are outside Auckland then maybe a friend of yours in Auckland can do the pickup.

As I work from home anyway I'm home pretty much all the time, so just let me know a time you would like to come round.

I have a whole household and shed to clear - so please have a look at my other listings too!

Price: $199

Johnson tweeted at Auckland Transport, asking why the sign – which was used to slow cars – had been placed on the path cyclists and pedestrians were using, and taking up some of their space.
