I’m absolutely open to offers, so feel free to DM me if you’re interested.

One of my few old sets that I am keeping that I still love is 6270 Forbidden Island.

I believe this is the last version of the software:

I’ve finally had a chance to go through my old childhood sets that were in my mom’s basement, and I put all of these together (and then took them apart) to verify completeness. Since a lot of them are very old, there is some noticeable yellowing on the white pieces. I have the original boxes (with wear and some…Read more

Nothing complete, but some Ninjago and Star Wars mixed in, even with a few unopened bags. Everything is in amazing condition, but I was wondering what everyone typically does about cleaning (or not) used LEGO. I was expecting things to be yucky and…Read more

If I recall, we may be neighbors since I’m in McCandless too…makes it a bit easier to replay you sometime and somehow 🙂 I can wait til the Q3 meeting or we can always meetup somewhere if we’re close by.

Josh, I figured it was a pretty distinct piece since it’s a big tread (and brown).
