That's all I remember distinctly, but I'm sure there was more. All that for around $7 with shipping and handling. I didn't even know lego had weapons before I saw those in my magazine.

    I was actively building during the weird soccer/football era. They really tried to push for us to build a soccer/football stadium complete with stands a bus and chairs and concessions and a whole field in the weirdest ways possible. There were hardly any foods outside of the pizza circle, so I remember using little red and yellow studs as meat snacks or grain based snacks. I would have serious bought the chair polybag in the thumbnail as a kid, as weird as it sounds.

    Lego stores, as of three years ago, still sells poly bags with random parts. I’ve gotten several with sports items, food items, plant and flowers, underwater including a stingray, …. My more recent ones were the Batman poly bag that I picked up several and Batman is standing on top of a bunch of my buildings. And several years ago they released Trolls Polly’s carriage and Walmart had them straight to clearance for under $2 so I ended up buying all 15 that were on the shelf. Unfortunately there was not a lot of interest in that set so ten of them are still setting in a box in the closet. The rest have some interesting parts that are all over other things I’ve made.

    Maybe a vid on some of the unique pieces/colors of mid 90s early 2000s lego (like belville) could be interesting? There's something both so nostalgic but also so foreign about that era (maybe because it was right before I was into lego tbh.) Its like Lego started creating more specialized molds that weren't just minifig body parts/helmets, but were still in their phase of more simplistic designs and implied details. I remember as a kid being so fascinated with those clam pieces, the odd transparent colors, the teddy bears, the weird colors of the ice cream piece (which is used a lot more now for sure), the starfish piece--like I actually didn't even realize that orb piece existed until your knights kingdom vid, too. So many weird lil bricks in weird colors lost to time

    Ah, the iconic Bionicle trend of making spiders with a non-spider amount of legs. That's the blue thing from the polybag btw, a skull spider, in the lore they attach to the faces of the heroes to kinda corrupt them. You can also attach a fifth leg to the top of the head to get a scorpion variant. Gives it at least a few more uses, but unfortunately not enough to really make it a worthwhile piece outside of swarm fodder lolol. (also thank you for reminding me that the golden skull mask exists, might have to look into getting one myself)
