NEED CHEAP LEGOS FOR eMac Recasing.
« on: November 15, 2011, 05:30:25 AM »
I'm just looking to see if anyone has some Legos or Lego compatible bricks that they'd like to sell cheap. I've looked on Ebay and they seem to be quite pricey, especially when considering how many I'm going to need to re-case my recently beheaded eMac.

If ya wanna be a good samaritan, lemme know, thankx! :)

I think robbing a day care center is next on the list. :)

The Garage sales I went to this summer seemed totally devoid of all Legos. My mom found a small bucket of them for me, but not nearly enough to finish the project.

Now a days I can buy stuff new cheaper than I can get things used at Goodwill it seems.

I'll have to take a road trip Friday and see if any of the Dollar Generals sell them. All the local stores are null and void.

Cammy, Very enticing photo, and while I had considered doing something like that, I have to face the fact that I am running out of room, so I'm going for small and compact as possible, but I'd also like to attempt o avoid just making a box. I've got a few rough sketches, but nothing set in stone, though I do want to make sure that I can still stack Legos on the top should I want to place a few Star Wars figurines up there. ;)

 As for the color... dunno yet. It's prolly going to have to be multi color though, unless I paint the pieces individually before putting it all together.

Duce: Groovy page! :)

Mission accomplished I believe. I just went to Ollie's and scored 5 bags full of 160 new MegaBlocks each  for $9.99 a bag!!! :)

Thankx, and yes I do have a lot of work ahead of me, now to just find the time to do it...

if only I'd stop agreeing to work overtime. :/

 
Oh and it looks like I found a kid with a HUGE Lego collection from when he was a kid. I talked him into selling them all to me for $100, which is MUCH cheaper than I would pay for the amount he has on Ebay.

I think I'll end up building two cases, one from the Mega Blocks and then later on one from normal small Legos.

Hi,

Don't know why anyone would want to waste a good set of legos on an eMac, but beheading an eMac sure sounds good to me.

You are absolutely right. Emac is crap!!!

...but with MorphOS it shines! :)

How's your case coming? Post pictures if you can. Let's see the progression.



I will, I'm just having car issues, which results in money and transportation issues. :/

As soon as I can get over to my dad's when I have a day off, I'm going to use his table saw to cut the base which the bottom layer of bricks are going to be fastened to.

Yep, details of that can be found on the morphzone.

Once the case is done, I'll be posting all the details on my page.
