Last week brought one of the most satisfying and unexpected LEGO hauls yet, all the way from beautiful Clontarf, Dublin. What started as a quick trip turned into a full-blown LEGO rescue mission: 15 complete sets (some with boxes, all with instructions and love) for a total of just €80. The value and variety of this haul makes it one of the strongest additions to the growing Redmond’s Forge LEGO Museum and LEGO City.

Why This Haul Was Special
It’s rare to find a collection like this, where:
- The sets are mostly complete.
- The bricks are in excellent condition.
- The themes span Friends, Disney, City, Harry Potter, and Classic lines.
- And the price delivers exceptional value.
Better still, this haul was done with a bit of charm and luck, making Clontarf one of the most memorable stops on the Redmond’s Forge LEGO Quest so far.
