As I picked out Lego and tossed Not Lego ,I was amazed at all the terrain  bricks and moulded wall pieces the A.N.other brand produced. These kids had mixed it up so lego carried out the other brand ,also found a road scene from the turbo racer era. The guy told me they had tons but have the big stuff to other relations and what I retrieved would've gone to charity but they wouldn't take due to covid- only good to come from that

Strange, I've seen Lego in charity shops a few times over the last 2 years! Usually heavily mixed with non-Lego so not worth buying, sadly.

At the right price and if it's not all playdohd ,it's nice to identify what set was there and maybe how much actually is

Such a shame they use big single green pieces for the tippers, I guess it keeps the price down (and less gets lost in the skip haha) but they'd be so much nicer made out of panels and bricks!

I've got the orange city ones and as nice as it is to build them and be able to modify them I LOVE these as they tip smoothly and are super light

7685 built ,only missing a 3x8 slang plate and a yellow cab roof, looks nice but doesn't suit my needs and it's looking for a new home or building site

I watched one episode of the first season a couple of weeks ago and haven't had a chance to get back to it! As well as the great builds, I'm hoping for a bust-up between the obnoxious "I'm kind of a big deal in Lego in Australia" Kale and his downtrodden team mate!

A little find, it's rims are clear ,I'll scan for more at the skip as it's not emptied yet and a few days ago all I could rescue was a red door ,everything else was mangled

The staple of 90s police sets! I might lean towards 6-wide over 4-wide but these are the perfect motorbikes for me, the recent ones seem much too big.

I like them as retro bikes but I love all iterations of new bikes and I haven't opened the stuntz ones yet

Cleaning today , a recent haul ,this lot had Star Wars ,monster fighters , city emergency sets and ironmans Cliffside scene, I also found a wolverine minus his head and possibly a mech, loads of wheels so tractor fleet should expand ,maybe a 4U silage contractor outfit(in miniature!)
