Used LEGO Haul from Marketplace & Washing LEGO!

What's up guys it is BrickLover18 here and today I'm going to be showing you a LEGO haul I got from the Facebook Marketplace. So a few weeks ago now my dad sent me a text while I'm up here in Toronto he is back home and he just showed me this picture of some LEGO from a Facebook lot he found and he's like hey how much would you pay for this? It was funny because I responded between you know 10 or 15 dollars to which he said amazing I got it for 10. So this is the bag of LEGO. He got this entire thing here for $10 Canadian which is literally like $7 American so it's not a bad deal whatsoever. I have not really had the chance to go through this yet and see any of the pieces inside. I opened it up kind of briefly to take a look and then it was a little dirty so I got a little grossed out and I didn't want to look through it too much before I had a chance to wash it but I thought it'd be really fun in this video today to kind of take a look and deep dive into it. So I'm going to open up the bag here and I have the handy Canada Post bin here just to dump all the LEGO into. My dad took it out of the bin that it came into and put it in the garbage bag just for easier transport and you can see here is everything here. Right off the bat you'll be able to tell that there are some non-LEGO parts in it. I haven't sorted it obviously yet or anything at all like this one almost looks LEGO but then you look a little bit more detail and you can see it's not however you can see there are a variety of other LEGO pieces in here looks like we at least get a LEGO fire station there was definitely some Minecraft LEGO as well because there were some minifigures which here's the bag he separated my dad went through it very briefly and he separated some of the minifigures and stuff like that in it so very excited to deep dive into this more but of course for starters I want to wash it and I actually want to sort out what was LEGO and what is not LEGO so I'm going to do that and get back to you all right so after a little over probably an hour and a half sorting I managed to sort all the LEGO pieces which are here and all the non-LEGO pieces and dirt and garbage and stuff like that in here so it was a pretty good mix still for $10 definitely can't go wrong with it it doesn't look like there are many complete sets it almost looks like an incomplete collection like it looks like some remnants of a police station but there are obviously a lot of parts so I don't think I'll be able to build any sets from this just based on how many parts are missing and stuff like that but it's good to have just a variety of new parts for my LEGO collection so this these were pretty dirty um not extremely dirty but I just feel more comfortable giving these a little bit of a bath so let's go do that all right guys back in my washroom here and I've got the bucket of parts that are ready to be washed honestly they're not as dirty as I thought they were but I'm still gonna wash them just because I don't really know where they came from let's get the water started add the dawn dish soap and then pour the LEGO in and of course give it a few good swooshes around and then we're gonna let the LEGO marinate all right all the LEGOs out of the tub now unlike last time where I scooped it all with my hand I actually used this strainer here and it works so much better so there's no loose pieces in there that means no pieces going down the drain and everything here is washed all right guys so I actually forgot to show this part on camera but I laid the towel down here in the bathtub and poured all the bricks on top of it and now I've let them dry they've probably been in here for like a week or so so they're definitely dry and it's time to move them back into my LEGO room so I low-key forgot that these parts were actually in the tub here and it wasn't until a guest who went to use this washroom to shower opened up the curtain it was like it's full of LEGO bricks and I was like oops good thing I uh yeah good thing I have another shower but it was yeah hilarious now these are all washed and ready to go honestly as for what I'm going to do with these bricks I don't entirely know because they just came with this bucket of bricks here there were no instructions or anything like that in them it's going to be pretty hard for me to distinguish what sets were actually in this bin which are not and try and piece them together I just don't think it's going to be possible so because of that I'm actually probably just going to sort these parts into my LEGO collection and use them for building down the line I just don't think it's worth spending all that time and energy trying to figure out what sets based on stickers and other parts and stuff like that I'll find trying to piece it together because nothing even came assembled so I don't even have any clue if they're together maybe this was one of like 10 lots they sold who really knows so I think just the best for me and to save some time and you know a lot of stress is just to part this out into my LEGO collection and do some sorting so because that's what my plan on doing I'm just going to wait until I have a few more LEGO bricks that I need to sort I haven't done a big sort in my LEGO collection since 2020 I don't like to sort LEGO pieces it's actually something I hate doing so I will probably wait and do a huge sorting video or something like that in the upcoming months probably in 2023 realistically and resort everything back into my LEGO collection and do it that way because there's definitely some cool parts here looks like some pretty decent city sets because you know found a police bike and a lot of these blue looks like it's from a police station so some pretty good parts there that I know I'll be able to use in the future for building and stuff like that so that's you know roughly what my plan is but anyway guys thank you so much for watching this LEGO video thank you for watching this LEGO haul and me cleaning all these LEGO parts it does feel so much better when I put my hand in and feel these really clean parts like I can tell they're clean now they almost feel like new and it just feels so much more sanitary than using some of these older LEGO parts in my models and something like that but really really excited to have all this and just cannot wait to start you know sort this out and get started building so anyway guys thanks again for watching if you did enjoy don't forget to leave a like comment and of course subscribe and I'm looking forward to seeing you here in the next video!
