A Brisbane mother’s treasured Lego collection is making headlines after raising more than half a million dollars at an online auction that is still underway.
More than 2000 sets that were collected over more than four decades went up for grabs earlier this month.

So far, more than $500,000 has poured in from what Lloyds Auctions says is one of the biggest private hauls ever put up for sale.
The bidding war for the valuable accumulation of building block kits has been so successful she is now selling treasured pieces that have already been built.
That includes a replica of Manchester United’s home stadium Old Trafford, the Colosseum, the Titanic, and a Mini Cooper.
The massive collection has attracted significant interest from enthusiasts, with bids continuing to climb as the auction progresses.
“With how successful these results are there was some more pieces that are now being offered,” said Rachael McCann from Lloyd’s Auctions.
With the auction still ongoing, the final total is expected to climb even higher as bidders compete for pieces.
