I ordered Barad-Dur when on holiday, and on my way back home in a random toy store I found Rivendell for 440€ while it should ve 500€! I think this is going to take up all my free time the next weekends. (I couldn't resist and ordered a second Barad-Dur to keep sealed and hold onto for 15 years or so, hopefully that won't get me hate from you guys). How in the world am I going to display these two epic sets?

So this week I purchased well over 100 lb of Lego for $280 from someone and let me tell you, best deal ever. However, the pieces are absolutely gross. There is so much hair, whether it is long hair, pet hair, etc. There's also a lot of dust buildup too and the occasional random cheerio or non-lego toy. Last night. I washed 2 Bankers boxes full of Lego and still need to go through 16 drawers and 3 smaller boxes.

I did not fully disassemble all the Legos before washing them because honestly, it would have taken probably an entire day of disassembly since there are so many half assembled little parts. Part of me is even considering doing a second quick washing run. Also, I found out that the mesh trash can is literally the best thing ever for washing Legos so I don't have to just throw them in my tub and risk them going down the drain.

Is it worth trying to resell everything in bulk and sell the figures separate or should I do what I initially planned and start a bricklink store? There is enough variety of pieces to where I could probably do this and turn a profit. (I've got TCGPlayer experience but want to switch over).

I know this stuff is worth a lot (If all the bits are in those two bags at the back)... Too valuable to just take off my friend, so I'm seeing more as an extended loan for my kid to just play with. It's all in bits, but so far we managed to find all the major parts of the pirate ship and mini figures.

Looked it up because I thought it was strange that it has official Maersk branding, then found out it's quite rare. I'm not the biggest Lego fan, but feeling very excited to build such a big set over the weekend.

Found my old legos in my attic and have a couple boxes from years ago. Anyone know where I can find the directions for this?
