Hey guys, I finally finished the sorting and counting process and put a few visuals together to recap the breakdown. You can watch a short 6 minute video here: th-cam.com/video/ZA0KUUnLMQk/w-d-xo.html You can watch the full-length 25 minute video here: th-cam.com/video/bxr0DnGzko8/w-d-xo.html
Another thing keep in mind when buying Lego in bulk is storage. Recently my dad bought a large bin of Lego at a yard sale. I like to sort my Lego based on size and type of brick. Because of the large quantitie of bricks and all of the different shapes and sizes, I had to expand my Lego storage. Also, I normally buy used Lego in only small quantities at a time, so I had no plans of expaning my Lego storage.
Very true, I had the same problem when I started buying larger amounts of LEGO in 2018. Since then I have overhauled my storage system and sorting process. As I continue to bring in bulk lots I've even started an overflow stockpile for bricks and plates. Thanks for the comment.
I have bought 1 lot in the past and I am buying a lot in about an hour, and what I love is when you get to the bottom and you start finding really cool (but dirty) small Lego pieces. The bottom is the cool stuff. Anyways, I love your videos and I am glad you started to upload again
Thanks for watching Jin, I had a look around your channel and you know the ups and downs of bulk LEGO! Thanks to some other projects I have still not completed the inventory for this lot yet, but it's looking close to 33K parts overall.
I collect action figures also. Often I find accessories and weapons for GI Joe or Transformers. That stuff can help you recover some on your investment.
more and more copy cats joining the market, thankfully I haven't been burned too badly when it comes to these bulk lots. The pictures are your best bet for getting a good guess about the brand before you buy

Very fascinating! Kind of correlates to your article on Brickset!
It does indeed, early estimates are giving this lot my highest Value Score to date
Definitely love this video, yea the gem finding part is the best! Looking forward to the whole procedure of this drama!

that is definetly not fair!
Cleaning Lego is pretty easy . . . I put it in zipped mesh laundry bags and run it through a cycle. Everything comes out fine.
That is a popular method
I got a bulk lot recently that had a lot of Tyco bricks in it. Parents will buy just about any plastic bricks for their kids...

COBI comes from Europe, it`s NOT a Chineese product at all, and it has COBI sign on every brick. Thanks for the video!
I find chewed pieces in every lot. Kids like to chew them.
Some of the ones in this lot were so bad, I think a dog must have been involved
u should totaly open a bricklink store 100% fans would buy from u
I think I'll have one opened within a year, I'll do a video for sure if it happens

Construlle algo con todos tus legos
Yes, that is the idea! This month I built some Train wagons: th-cam.com/video/kpMB7kUmPG4/w-d-xo.html
