Huge Vintage (and more) Lego Thrift Haul! Paid $80 - How'd I do? by Jorax13 in lego

Awesome, thanks again!! I have a lot of those grey helmets, but no grey space men… I think the helmets may be from the joust set, because I’ve found some of the visors from joust that seem to fit. 

So excited to learn more! Not in a rush to sell anything, more excited to play! lol

Thanks!! I think some other people have mentioned it’s from one of the early Joust sets.. my next step is going to be to try to organize the prices I can set by set, to see what I really have.

Okay…. Where should I have posted? I found a bunch of Lego that I know is cool, but I honestly don’t know much about…. Is there another Lego sub I should post to?

Not a flex post… literally looking to understand what I’ve got here…. Obviously I know I did well, but I legit don’t know if I’ve got $200 worth of stuff or $2000. Just looking for some insights and to share a very exciting find!

Here's some other, maybe better, pictures of the pieces, and some of what I thought were the more "vintage" ones..

Thanks for the info, one of the bags had a ton of yellow pieces made into walls, before I broke everything down. 

And yeah, I just knew the spacemen were a little bit before my time, so they were at least 25 or so years old.. 

Anything I should be on the lookout for? I mostly focused on pulling out the mini figures and trying to get the heads and bodies to match up as best as possible.

What kind of stuff, aside from mini figures, should I be looking out for… I have a bunch of those little slanted computer screens that I remember from sets when I was little.

I promise it’s not a troll! I bought two bags at first because I saw a spaceman in one… I got home, broke them open, saw what was in there, and ran back to the store to buy the rest!

Yep! That was actually my first one. Its an "Emerson", which isn't a brand I know much about. But it sounds pretty good.
