Found a complete UCS Star Destroyer at Goodwill for $15
I still can't believe this happened. I was browsing the toy section at Goodwill and spotted a huge bag of gray LEGO pieces. Something about the distinctive wedge-shaped pieces caught my eye. I took a chance and bought the bag for $15. When I got home, I sorted through everything and realized it was a near-complete LEGO Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer UCS (75252). Only missing about 20 small pieces — which I ordered from BrickLink for $8. This set retails for $700 and I got it for $23 total. Used LegoFinder's AI to confirm the identification. I'm still in shock.

This is the thrift store find of the century! The UCS Star Destroyer is an incredible set and getting it for $23 is unreal. Stories like this are why I always check the LEGO section at every thrift store I visit. Great use of LegoFinder to confirm the identification — that's exactly what the AI is for!
I am so jealous. I've been checking Goodwill weekly for years and the best I've found is a half-complete City set. This is legitimately a once-in-a-lifetime find. Enjoy the build!
