For several episodes now, I shared sets parted out from a massive bin of bricks. We looked at the bin in Episode 3. Subsequently, the bin yielded fun sets including the Imperial Flagship, Indiana Jones and the Lost Tomb, and the Z-95 Headhunter. In Bargain Bricks: Episode 11, we stray from the bin. There might be a few sets left in there, but I wanted a little change. This week, we share a one-off purchase made on Facebook Marketplace. I love LEGO® Jurassic World, but it was not the first to bring dinosaur figurines in brick form. Many of the molds for the Jurassic World figurines actually came from the Dino theme back in 2011. I missed out on those sets in my dark age. One of them popped up recently for sale near me. I jumped at the chance to get it. Find out more in the episode below!
Until next time,
