In our Lego city, we have a dump, here are some parts that are going to the dump
soon. This is where all my brittle blue, dark red, and reddish brown pieces go
to live again. These all were from my last bulk buy.

Really sad about the train signal

Damn that hurts.
Are you sure the diamond shaped yellow 2x2 isn't an unreleased part?

Many of the other parts were cragled. I tried the freezer method to make the
glue brittle, but almost all of them broke.

I'm looking forward to seeing your LEGO dump MOC! Parts in it are exclusively
as described above!



If they get a new life, even temporarily, as a MOC creation, then they won't
have been a total waste of LEGO parts.



I hope you're recycling them afterwards, if there is a plastics recycler
that can take them. Plastics shouldn't go to landfill, except as a last resort.

Cheers ...

I really hate it when one of the tabs breaks off of a

They're getting rarer every day, and I don't think gluing the tab back
on would work due to the amount of force placed on it when attaching something.

A city dump or junkyard is good to have.
