New batch of used LEGO elements 🧱

If you know me from Instagram, you know I LOVE buying used bricks and pieces. That’s an entire process and I love every part of it.

I’m lucky to have a wonderful shop with used LEGO in my hometown - Kopalnia Klocków (meaning the Brick Mine - I live in a heavily industrial area). Generally, you go there, see what they have, pick everything you like by hand and you pay per grams. It is quite exciting (and addictive) - you never know what you’ll find, and you can hunt some real gems there. And as I had a dark age (meaning - I wasn’t that into LEGO at that time) from about 2002 to 2015, it’s a great opportunity to catch up and get some of those sweet pieces you’ve missed out on before. Or even get some things that are still on shelves cheap.

There are different price categories. Minifigs and accessories (my favorite one) are the most expensive among those, but it’s still quite affordable - 10 PLN for 10 grams, but you can get a loyalty card and get -20% off every purchase.

As those pieces are used, I always clean them (2 days soaking in water with dish soap, then some light scrum with toothbrush), then I dry them, then pre-sort and document them (mainly for my own purposes), and then marry them with the rest of my already sorted elements.

All of these are from my last 2 trips to the store. And I’m very happy with this loot. Can’t wait to sit down and build something cool using these!

Do you like any of these elements in particular?
