Lloyds Auctions has been running a major LEGO collection sale in Australia, reported as one of the largest private LEGO collections offered by the company, with about 2,000+ sets and over one million pieces. The items are largely brand-new and many are factory sealed, with a substantial portion being retired sets from themes like Star Wars, Batman, Harry Potter, Marvel, Disney, and Racers. The auction is being conducted across seven online, unreserved auctions, with bidding opening in mid-April 2026 and ending daily from April 20, 2026.

Coverage notes that the collection has drawn significant international interest and that the starting bid for the entire collection was set at $1, with individual lots available across the seven unreserved auctions. The event has been described as a landmark in LEGO collecting, reflecting rising demand in the global LEGO market for retired, high-demand sets.

Local and regional outlets in Australia (including Today Show Australia and 9 News Australia) highlighted the sale as a one-of-a-kind opportunity, given the size and sealed condition of many lots, and they reported anticipated media attention and collector interest both domestically and abroad.

Related summaries note the sale’s scale and the potential total value around a quarter of a million Australian dollars, though individual lot prices will vary widely depending on demand and the rarity of specific sets.
