What I bought today

OMG !
How much did that set you back and is everything there plus in good nick too ?

Lightningtiger: If you're asking about the town plan, it was about $300. It's all there, including the Cardboard baseplate. And yes it's in good condidtion for it's age. Only the box is in bad shape.

1960's Town Plan (USA version) by Samsonite  

Nice, what condition is the cardboard town plan in. Most of the ones I've seen that are reasonably priced are pretty bad.

Today I purchased the cement mixer for $20 at T'R'U

Hey Peter, I think it's all there, including the Cardboard baseplate. Overall in good condition for it's age - I guess i got lucky  
However there no set inventory on Bricklink, so I can't *actually* tell what's missing. But it does include 2 printed bricks, 'Hotel' and 'Esso Service'

There are 5 Vehicles: Fire truck, tow truck, Esso tanker - warped, VW 1500 And a VW beetle with broken bumpers. The fuel pumps are a little damaged. And the Esso sign has a bit of damage.
Also the box is in bad shape.

Today i bought The Grand Prix Truck 60025 for $28 ( price match from Big W)
I was very pleasantly surprised when i 0pend the box and saw the white Lego train base that comes with the set.
After seeing it my thoughts were the Trailer is now becoming a train carriage and the truck cab is for spare parts lol

I think you got a bargain. For an inventory, you could try and message Gary Ishtok, who posts on Eurobricks as LEGO Historian. He's the expert on this sort of stuff. His CD is well worth the price if you're interested. It probably has a chapter on these town plan sets and their inventories. They did vary from region to region, and over time though, so if yours differs it might not be wrong. Will you be coming down to Brickvention next year? Bring along your set if you do, I'd love a look.

couldnt you just replace the truck wheels with train wheels and run it along the tracks like that? then you dont need to worry about building a carriage

Couldn't help myself last week and bought 2 Hobbit sets for half price, the Mirkwood Spiders and the Warg attack sets. Not sure how I can get them into my City layout yet but I have a few ideas, I feel like an idiot now for buying a single white warg for $15 on brinklink for my City zoo, now I have 2 more?

I purchased 9398 yesterday, just getting back in to the hobby slowly

Today i went on a Lego Rampage lol, went to a lot of secondhand shops and managed to pick these sets up for really cheap, all had great condition boxes and instructions except Fort legoredo which is in poor shape, but i bought this one for too add onto my existing Fort Legoredo

Sounds like a nice find, I can never find bulk sets like these at a decent price, not on ebay anyway.

Here is a pic of some of the boxes i haven't washed and cleaned yet. these were the boxes that didn't stink, its just full of dust.


Today has been spent washing and drying most of the other boxes which smells like  to put it bluntly a possum has pissed in the box ( half of the boxes were stored in a shed)
I have weighed the Lego today without the instructions it comes to 27.2kg's which is great for $260

that's a bargain!

They appear to be 2011/2012 city sets....maybe some 2010 too.....not bad for the price I guess.

Anyway, just brought these today from TRU at TTP.......

got my SOH today!!!!!!
