Sign in to disble this ad
I got legos I'm getting ready to sell on ebay, but I have no idea how to ship them. I may just break them down, but still take a picture of them complete so people know all the parts are there. If I ship them complete how should I ship them while maintaining them in one piece?  |

Lego rules. My favourite toy when I was a kid by far. |

But in the good old days when they were mostly metal, you'd buy them cheaper pre-painted, and leave the suckers in a bowl of paint stripper

Mine are all Star Wars legos too. They apparently are all discountinued, I looked at the prices and this little one is like worth $150. The other bigger ones are like $250. I want to keep them to wait till their worth a lot, but I need to clean out my room, plus I'm starting to learn about recoding, high school and college are up, so I gotta buy all this stuff that I can learn from.  |
