I Rebuilt LEGO Sets from "THE BIN"

Everyone knows about the bin, the random box of Lego we all had when we were younger, where every Lego set went in after completing it, and over time, these sets got swallowed by the bin, becoming now just, uh, random pieces. But today, we're going on a rescue mission. In this video, I'm going to rebuild Lego sets from a 10-year-old bin filled with 10,000 pieces. Bro, my eyes are starting to hurt. Will this be successful or a complete waste of time? And how much money are the Lego sets in this bin worth in total? To answer these questions, let's get started. So this is the bin. It's actually my friend Ani's childhood bin. Alright, this is the bin! Ani told me about how he grew up with some pretty OG and rare Lego sets, so we'll need to figure out which is which. Hey, we gotta surprise Ani later. Ani just told me that apparently he doesn't even know if all the pieces are here, so we'll have to see. To start, Ani gave me this short list of Lego sets that he knew were lost to the bin. Huh? Yeah, bro, I can't even read this. His handwriting is so bad! It's like I'm reading chicken scratches! So I caught Ani. Hello. This time, he sent me a readable list of a few sets he knew were lost to the bin. Okay, so there's only a couple sets on this list because Ani said that his memory is trash, so obviously this isn't the full list and there's definitely more sets. I mean, even Ani said there's definitely more or defiantly more. Okay, he needs to spell. Alright, starting with the smallest Lego bin set on this list is this Ninjago set from 2013 called the Overborg Attack. This should be an easy set to build because it's only 207 pieces. It's also the only set in the bin that Ani has a physical instruction manual for, and he luckily gave me his manual for the set, so I started matching it to pieces from the bin. By focusing on the big parts first, I found a lot of the set's pieces, and especially since I'm on a brown wooden floor, it made it easier to find the green pieces in the set. I was also looking for this claw piece, but it came with multiple pieces on it instead. Not this one. And while it was easy to find some pieces, other pieces were more camouflaged or hidden. Like this piece is the wrong color, and this one is straight up fake Lego. Yeah, there's gonna be fake Lego in this bin that we have to watch out for. Hey yo, why is there a spider? And no sooner than a couple minutes later, I hit another roadblock. No matter where I looked, I couldn't find one of the two minifigures in the set, which was Lloyd Garmadon, and I still had plenty of green pieces that I couldn't find. It was clearly not enough to build Lloyd Garmadon and his vehicle, so we'll mark this part of the set as missing. But I did find some cool pieces like this golden helmet. I literally don't know what set this piece could be for. I mean, this piece kind of looks familiar. Since I couldn't find any more pieces for the set, I washed all the pieces I did find to get rid of the dust, and now let's start the building montage. And by the way, finding this set took two and a half hours. Yeah, I'll be keeping track of the time and adding it up at the end of the video. If I go above 24 hours, I'll have to face reveal. Anyways, this 2013 set comes with this fire hydrant on a sidewalk, and this green trash can which contains, uh, trash. Hey, that's my next meal. But the best part of the set is, of course, the Overborg and his vehicle. You have the Overborg, which has cool weapons on his left and right side. His vehicle also comes with these deadly razor blades. You can detach and also attach the Overborg, as well as drive the vehicle. And you can tell that this is a LEGO bin set, because one of the sides is missing a sticker piece, and there's also missing arms on the Overborg chair. And, uh, there's also bite marks on the Overborg himself. Overall, this first set that I rebuilt from the bin, without all the pieces, sells for $40 online. Before we look at another set on Ani's list, he texted me that there was another set that he suddenly remembered. It's supposed to be a police helicopter. It's this 2007 set that contains 94 pieces from the theme LEGO City. Since I don't have an instruction manual for any other set left in this bin, I had a solution. If you didn't know, LEGO actually uploads online instruction manuals for every set that they've ever made, so I searched the set number online to find the instruction manual. And printing out the manual's page containing all the pieces in the set, I started matching it to pieces from the bin. It's literally 94 pieces, so I don't think it should be too hard to find. I started by picking out the LEGO City stickers on the helicopter, since it would be the easiest. You know Ani built the set as a kid because the sticker placement is so cursed. I also found multiple pieces together, which made this a faster find. Although, some pieces look too blurry in the instruction manual, and there were several variations of the piece that looked too similar. I also found some custom builds in the bin, like this rocket... ship, whatever, I don't know what it is. And this singular wheel that rolls. Oh my gosh, it's missing a hand. Eventually, by hour four, I found everything to the LEGO set. Uh, except this one piece, which I ordered off of eBay. So this retired police helicopter set from almost 20 years ago comes with these police handcuffs and binoculars. And it comes with this police searchlight that can attach to the helicopter. And so the set sells for $15 used online. So let's put this policeman in, and fly the helicopter back into the bin to build the next set on Ani's list. Which is... this LEGO Ultra Agent set. Bro, he's not even specific! Yeah, this set could literally be so many options, because there's literally 14 unique Ultra Agent sets in existence. Honestly, I didn't even know this was a theme, but apparently it's from the early 2010s. I don't even know what to look for, because Ani didn't even give me a set number. However, as we went into hour four, I later found a unique looking LEGO minifigure that didn't look like anything I had seen before. After taking a photo and putting it in a LEGO brick scanner, it showed the only set that this minifigure could possibly be from. So I focused on finding all of the pieces using the online manual method, and I found some pieces I've never seen before, and uh, this. Hey yo, this better be my hair! So I built the set with the pieces. Here's what it looks like. This set comes with this agent. I couldn't find the hair piece for him in the bin, so he's just going to remain bald. There's also this LEGO minifigure I showed earlier, which is actually one of the villains in the set. He's holding dynamite and has fire coming out of him. And he's on a fire hoverboard. Dang, I feel like I'm in 2016 right now. And here's the car. The car comes with these missiles that can fire. And lastly, it has this button in the back that can eject someone from the car. I'm honestly surprised that we found pretty much all the minifigures for this set. I sure hope that I don't run into any problems later on. But anyways, the set sells for $40 used online, and we're so close to hitting the $100 mark. Because the set's pieces took more than two hours to find, I approached the sixth hour mark. And by hour six, I was getting hungry, which is how today's sponsor, CookUnity, helped me.

CookUnity connects you with top chefs from across the U.S., delivering their signature dishes fresh to your door. With hundreds of meals to choose from, there's something for everyone. But now that I finished a CookUnity meal, I went back to rebuilding LEGO bin sets. Going into hour six, I was prepared to build the last set on Ani's list when he then called me. I just realized most of the sets in the bin are Ninjago. Uh, I hope that helps. Um, that's an important detail. That's insane. We're not only dealing with a LEGO bin, but a LEGO Ninjago bin. And you know OG LEGO Ninjago sets sell for so much online. So this entire bin could have LEGO Ninjago sets that are worth from a few hundred dollars to even a couple thousand. I don't know. We'll see. Let's just keep digging. With this new knowledge, I found this LEGO Cole Ninjago minifigure. After scanning it, I realized it could be from two possible sets. So I continued looking and I found a sticker that had the same colors as Cole. And it was from one of the two possible sets. And I was able to narrow it down. I focused on the big pieces first because the sets pieces were black. And so it was going to be hard to see. Bro, my eyes are starting to hurt. And you guys may be wondering, BRICUS, why don't you sort everything into colors? No, I love paint. All right. No, but actually, where's the fun in that? But I dove deeper into the bin as I continued finding more pieces until I had enough to build the set. Honestly, I'm surprised that I completed the build for the set. The set comes with these three minifigures, including Cole and his plane that will put him inside. Cole's plane has these stud shooters in which if you insert this specialty LEGO piece by putting it in there, you can turn the gears to fire. Anyways, the set sells for $78 used and completed, which is insane. But before we build the last set on Ani's list, there was a partially completed ship I fished out around hour one that I now know belongs to Ninjago. All that is missing from it are a few more pieces to complete it, which took 27 minutes to find. Yo, this piece is kind of like a Beyblade. Watch. Yes, sir. The parts I added were mainly this balloon, and this vehicle that belongs to the ninja Zane. So I had Zane and all the pirates in the set. The ship itself has the steering wheel, this cannon, and anchors on both sides, as well as, um, wait, is that dynamite? Looking at Ani's last set, is this Kai car or jet? Apparently Ani's not sure, but it's clearly from Ninjago since Kai is a character from the show. So what I did was, I matched unique looking red stickers I found to potential Ninjago sets and I found a LEGO Kai minifigure earlier that helped narrow it down to this one set. Now this is the LEGO Ninjago Kai fighter from 2013, and my little brother actually had the set himself, so I quickly borrowed his instruction manual. This set was easier to build than most since I looked specifically for the bright red parts of Kai's fighter on the wooden floor, and since there weren't that many pieces left. The coolest thing about this built jet is that pushing the back of it makes the wings move. But you can tell this set is from the bin because it's missing a wing. But still, the set in this condition sells for $55 online, so nice. Before I show Ani all of the sets, now Ani did say there were definitely more sets, and I don't think we found them all. Since we have a little bit of extra time, I'm going to build a couple more sets. With most of the pieces from the bin now put into rebuilt LEGO sets, I targeted a set that was apparently the biggest. Like for perspective, this piece from the set is as big as my hand. And I found some other interesting pieces. Yo, I actually had a crush on her when I was a kid. Yeah, I know it's a robot, but I don't care. Hey yo, who took a bite out of this piece? But anyways, finding all the pieces I could took almost six hours. Yeah, it literally took almost six hours to get all these pieces, and I don't even think I completed the entire thing because there's still some pieces missing. But this is all the pieces I could find from the bin in those six hours almost, so yeah, let's get to building. Coming at 516 pieces, the set is called the Ninja Copter. The coolest part of the set is that this vehicle can rotate, and that this smaller vehicle belonging to the Ninjoids in the set can detach a separate glider. I am missing a piece or two from the set, but otherwise, this set sells for $135 used. This may have been the hardest LEGO set to rebuild in the bin, but definitely not the rarest because using the brick scanner, I found some other sets and rebuilt them. Like this J-Dragon, which by the way sells for $90, and this Zane Shrine, where you can tell that the set is so old because the brown pieces are so cracked. And in the time that it took me to find this shrine, I found a golden torso and legs, which match the golden helmet I found earlier, which led me to the rarest and final set in the bin, which is the golden ninja and his dragon. I mean, come on, this set is just so insane. Is it really a surprise that the set sells for $250? With this green fireball in its mouth, you better watch out. And yeah, the pieces for the set took almost 2 hours to find, but now that we've built the final set, it's time to surprise Ani. And so I called him. Bro, I remember one time I like ran around the house, like I was holding it running around the house and I just like dropped it. Rebuilding it was not fun. Dude, that was kind of hard, I ain't gonna lie. But the golden dragon, bro, always looks insane. You got the ball too, bro. That's like one of those pieces that's like, you don't have it. It's just like, where am I supposed to find that? I got some Lego City in there too. Yeah. The helicopter. That's like the OG set, bro. That's like my first set. I had this set too as a kid, I'm pretty sure. So it's pretty nostalgic for me. How much do you think this entire collection is worth? Higher? What? No, higher. It's like around 600 bucks-ish. You'd be surprised! But yeah, here are all these sets. These are for you to keep. Yeah, restoring sets from a bin has been a huge goal of mine, This video shows that nothing is truly lost in the bin. So subscribe because this video was super painful to make. Are these pieces one or technically two? Let me know in the comments below.
