The box is in very good shape and the instructions are perfect. The real kicker is that many for the CA bricks are like new and with little to no warping. I would have paid a lot more for this and I feel a bit bad for the seller because it should have gone for more.

I go all around over town and through yard sales so I am always coming across ridiculous deals. You've got to create your own luck I guess.

0 • Like •I placed a nominal bid on a sealed 8417 the other day on eBay, and no one cared to bid higher. $11.50 for 315 pieces of new Technic from 1998. And I didn't know it at the time, but the set was just large enough to feature one of those awesome fliptop box lids. I just love being able to get a preview of the pieces inside the box. It was an obvious cost-saving measure by Lego to move away from that but I really do miss those boxes.
The box condition is far from perfect, but who can complain at that cost?

Super excited because I missed out on a lot of the Batman stuff and always put off buying the Avatar stuff until it was too late and too expensive!
Now I just have the fun of sorting the sets out!

There is also a little collectors shop that has a counter with a glass window above it, and there are minifigs in it. I have seen Santa Yoda, Voodoo Jack, Chrome 3P0, and White Boba in there.

My better half said I could keep 2 of those 4, so long as I sell the other 2.
The question becomes, which 2 do I sell, and which two do I keep? :)

0 • Like •I'm pretty sure I want to keep 10181, it is tall and impressive and will look great anywhere.
I'm leaning towards 10196 because it is colorful and moves, but the reviews on Brickset say it is fragile and doesn't work well.
10143 is nice because it would look good sitting next to 10188. Speaking of which, why doesn't 10188 have a display stand like the other UCS series and 10143 for that matter?
10189 is probably getting sold, it has never been out of that box, it is as mint as it gets. Besides, the reviews say it is really just a 6,000 brick 4x build, so it is four 1,500 piece sets, is it not?
