Occasionally I trawl through eBay for great deals and 3 days ago I came across an auction that fell into that category. It consisted of 11 minifigs, mostly firemen, and a bunch of vehicles and various other LEGO. So, I watched and it was due to close around 3pm today. I like the fire sets but compared to, say, police there seems to be far less. I've amassed a dozen police sets compared to perhaps 5 fire sets. Anyway...
I had a good look before bidding and that's when I noticed some interesting parts/models. There was a helicopter and from the spares, some windows and 2 base plates and 7 vehicles. 2 or 3 of the vehicles are proper sets but the others are MOC. A quick check on brickset and...
...turns out there's 4 sets at least from 2005 - 7238 Fire Helicopter for sure as it's photo'd clearly, as is 7239 Fire Truck and 7241 Fire Car. The exciting set for me however is what looks like 7240, the Fire Station. OK it doesn't have roller doors and the car from the set might be missing but rather a ladder as a gate for the car and goes onto 2 16x16 base plates but it's a nice older set. I already have the truck and car from when I started collecting again, now about 3 years ago.
Of course this is speculation but with any luck I'll have the goods by Friday and I'm very excited.
The other vehicles look like space police and what may also be the police Prisoner transport but I don't care. I also know there's probably some missing bricks but that's what bricklink is for, right??
Besides, I got the whole lot for under 30 quid sterling including shipping. That's a steal IMO.
More to follow and I may get this Friday so perhaps photos too.
