Hey all!

I was wondering if anyone else around here has been able to find LEGO for free. I myself recently got some free lego. heres a list of everything

15lbs of LEGO (used) from a lady this summer. (for free)

Dave_O Sent me 200 1x2's and 200 2x4's old light grey bricks for free (w00t!)

And right now I'm getting a BL order that is totally free (including shipping) for
$41.32 (w00t!)

Well, All I have to say is god has blessed me with a lot of free LEGO

Please share your free lego find stoys!

Well, I'm not sure if this is final but a friend from church said her kids ahd LEGO. I don't kow if they're free. And I don't even know if they are any good but I'm trying to think of a way to find out.

And how did you get a free BL order?

A store owner was giving out free lego but everyone thought he was nuts and didnt accept it because they thought it was a trick, anyways. I already had a order in place at his store and he put the grand total to $0.00

So yeah. it was one of those things where you had to be at the right place at the right time.

I got 8,061 2x4s for free.

2,974 classic light grey
2,470 black
1,948 classic dark grey
409 white
188 green
72 blue

with LEGO's old S@H bulk pricing (I dunno if it's changed, doubt it has), $6.99 gets you 50 2x4s.

So mathematically speaking I got $1,126.93 (retail) worth of bricks for free.
Well, not so much for 'free', I did do an hour's work for them, but I was willing to do the work for no compensation anyway (not that I minded

)

I also received 1,251 red and yellow plates to finish Formeathan v2.0 from Troy. Granted they were used (some very used), but I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth

I've received quite a few other free LEGO bits over the years, but I'm not sure they'd want me to name names.

What did you do, save someone from a burning building?

Well, on topic, I've had some stuff free. Not as much as some people, but still a good boxful of free stuff.

I've received a few small collections before from friends of mine. Never too much, but one had a few good classic castle bits.

Well, kinda sorta. I didn't so much as find free LEGO as provided it. I bought a whole bunch of the Star Wars minis for a good price and gave half of them away ("for free") to Toys for Tots. It is better to give than receive.

does getting presents count? over the years most of my lego has come in the form of gifts.
In fact my family loves to get me in the annual gift exchange.. as my sister in law put it "he's SO easy to buy for!"

Hello!

I got this for free from a good friend who just wanted to build a Castle once and after he had done this didn't need the bricks anymore:

That was after I had built my Castle Falckenstein. I guess my amount of light grey bricks was more than doubled through this gift. (It's still far less than some collectors have.)

Bye

Ok, after seeing some of these "gifts" of givingness people have recieved I have to say this.....................................................

.......................................................... WHERE IS MINE?

I agree.

I suppose the closest thing to free was a few years back when for a end of school present, my parents gave my four ice creem pails of used Lego that they had found. It was a pity that I had to split it with my 6 sibblings.

I quite often give the children of my friends free bags of Lego....I find lots of cheap Lego at carboots etc, take out anything interesting and pass the remainder on. I don`t do this to complete sets, I may add....just loose stuff. So does that count?
