It's great to see some of the sets I remember seeing in the shops . It's also great seeing Lego that's been played with and enjoyed. We both buy and trade loads of sealed sets that potentially will never get played with. We all have to remember Lego is fun to build and you don't have to be a child to enjoy Lego. Looking forward to part 3 Iain.
Just been to the Milton Keynes Lego show which was not bad in the main hall outside John Lewis , prices not bad ,saw plenty of the items you had recently purchased .( No fiat 500 sets ) Smaller venue than usual at the ice rink ,but easy to get round ,early entry ticket left before noon . Best of luck when you decide to sell at the other conventions .
Hi Michael. I find the,venue choice a little odd for the Milton Keynes Brick Festival, although I can understand why they haven't used the ice rink again as the internet inside there was hopeless. Next show for me is Leicester Brick Festival on 29th September
Great video again. Little profit here and little profit there will add up. At least you will have sets others won't have. You might be surprised at what you get for the nostalgic sets if you don't keep them. Looking forward to part 3. Your brave risking your money on 21 listings but no risk no rewards you deserve to do well with them.
Thanks. Yes, bidding on these auction is a bit of a risk, but it's great to get a load of different and already retired sets, and it makes for a good video. Part 3 will be posted this evening
Way more overheads and more problems extra staff etc. better to do what he's doing best of both worlds. Ian does a great job I'm sure interacting with customers would be easy for him a really nice guy I think.
Loving the old sets - I had the caravan set when I was a child & my brother the garage set. I still have them! I still love that caravan set 🙌
Thanks. Yes, I was really pleased to get those.
Great haul Ian . Thanks for the video👍
Matt from Dorset
Thanks Matt. Part 3 will be uploaded later this evening

Thanks Dean. I managed to get a load of different sets this time. Really looking forward to building some of the older sets.

What a haul! 👍
I'm looking forward to your RUclips video documenting your loft extension to accommodate this lot! 😂
Thanks. I may need a loft extension at this rate!
Great 2nd video Iain. You need to set a site up like Hillians Bricks
Thanks for watching. I'm not a fan of selling online as post and packing takes up too much time.

the old sets you should assemble them, and do a video of them together
Yes, I need to clean them up first , but I will do a video of them all assembled

Fab set. One of my favourites as a kid.
With all your stock have you ever thought about opening a shop?

Iain has a full-time regular job already
