The kids like Lego and we now have constant shortages of certain kinds of pieces (especially flat plates of all sizes, for use as airplane wings, roofs, etc) so I’ve been shopping for Lego pieces at Tradera, a Swedish auction site. An interesting experience.

6531 hits in the Toys category.

You can buy any kind of Lego you can imagine. Figures of all sorts and kits of all kinds. Selections like propellers, or windows, or mixed wheels from the 80s. Very specific listings like “10 blue transparent round 1×1 pieces”, or “10 1×3 dark gray plates”, and at the other extreme, mixed pieces sold by the kilo. How about 8.3 kg of mixed Lego?
