Body: <p>A few years back I visited the store at Legoland in Billund. They had a huge bin with bags of Lego bricks. No bags seemed to be identical, but most of them had a big overlap in types of pieces. (But some bags stood out, like one bag just with Duplo.)</p>
  <p>Lots of the bricks came from sets like <a href="https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=3409-1#T=S&amp;O=%7B%22iconly%22:0%7D" rel="nofollow noreferrer">3409</a> and <a href="https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=3420-1#T=S&amp;O=%7B%22iconly%22:0%7D" rel="nofollow noreferrer">3420</a>, and the bricks were unique to those sets, but the bags also had pieces not from those sets. It seemed odd to me with unique pieces from those sets since it was decades since they were released. So it would not seem like it was just some recent production surplus they had to get rid of.</p>
  <p>I imagined someone had cleaned up the factory floor and put it into bags, but I know that is of course not how they were made.</p>
  <p>Does anyone know how such bags are made?</p>
  <p>Are such bags also available at other Legolands?</p>
  <p>I bought two of the bags. A few of the pieces in them:</p>
  <ul>
  <li>One of these: <a href="https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=x45pb02&amp;idColor=1#T=C&amp;C=1" rel="nofollow noreferrer">x45pb02</a></li>
  <li>One of these: <a href="https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=x386&amp;idColor=1#T=C&amp;C=1" rel="nofollow noreferrer">x386</a></li>
  <li>Two of these: <a href="https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=x45pb03&amp;idColor=1#T=C&amp;C=1" rel="nofollow noreferrer">x45pb03</a></li>
  <li>Two of these: <a href="https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=30488&amp;idColor=9#T=C&amp;C=9" rel="nofollow noreferrer">30488</a></li>
  <li>About 100 of these in red: <a href="https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3039&amp;idColor=1#T=C&amp;C=5" rel="nofollow noreferrer">3039</a></li>
  </ul>
  <p><strong>Update</strong>:</p>
  <p>Found an old image which shows part of one of the bags (ignore the markings I've made on the picture). I know it isn't the best one, but it is the only one I have. <a href="https://i.sstatic.net/XIL1zvmc.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/XIL1zvmc.png" alt="Picture of bag" /></a></p>

Title: Bags of assorted Lego from Legoland

ThreadText: # Bags of assorted Lego from Legoland
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2024-05-19)
  
  A few years back I visited the store at Legoland in Billund. They had a huge bin with bags of Lego bricks. No bags seemed to be identical, but most of them had a big overlap in types of pieces. (But some bags stood out, like one bag just with Duplo.)
  
  Lots of the bricks came from sets like [3409](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=3409-1#T=S&O=%7B%22iconly%22:0%7D) and [3420](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=3420-1#T=S&O=%7B%22iconly%22:0%7D), and the bricks were unique to those sets, but the bags also had pieces not from those sets. It seemed odd to me with unique pieces from those sets since it was decades since they were released. So it would not seem like it was just some recent production surplus they had to get rid of.
  
  I imagined someone had cleaned up the factory floor and put it into bags, but I know that is of course not how they were made.
  
  Does anyone know how such bags are made?
  
  Are such bags also available at other Legolands?
  
  I bought two of the bags. A few of the pieces in them:
  
  * One of these: [x45pb02](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=x45pb02&idColor=1#T=C&C=1)
  * One of these: [x386](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=x386&idColor=1#T=C&C=1)
  * Two of these: [x45pb03](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=x45pb03&idColor=1#T=C&C=1)
  * Two of these: [30488](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=30488&idColor=9#T=C&C=9)
  * About 100 of these in red: [3039](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3039&idColor=1#T=C&C=5)
  
  **Update**:
  
  Found an old image which shows part of one of the bags (ignore the markings I've made on the picture). I know it isn't the best one, but it is the only one I have. [![Picture of bag](https://i.sstatic.net/XIL1zvmc.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/XIL1zvmc.png)
