The Nickel Guy

So I forked out $32.00 and am getting 201 pc of Lego which by my estimation will nicely display 115 marbles on a set of 5 black steps which fit on a dark gray base. I had as much fun figuring this out mathematically as I will building it. Anyway, of course I will update this with my image of the display here in the thread when this gets here and is assembled. It will be a good photo background too I hope but if black isn't a good color for pictures, I still think it will still look better than pink or orange in a display cabinet later on. I think it will show off the marbles better too. So here's the stuff I got and here's the plan. Note, I have never built a thing with Legos. Don't laugh . . . . OK you can laff Sideview

This one had me stumped for awhile. I had one example and put it with the Bengal Tigers thinking it might be an unusual design for a tiger but apparently this might be a whole different line. I got two more today out of a Hobby Lobby net bag. Does it have a name? Thanks Each has a evenly spaced and pretty much same size black patch on the sides or poles.

A seagull on the water. Cool.

Looks Peltier to me.

hmmmm I stand corrected. Thanks for the clarification Nantucketdink.

That's what I titled it at first in my folder as a file so I will leave as such. Thanks Melissa!

Now I am leaning toward Swamp Thing?

It looks transparent inside and thin veneered purple and green patches outside. I have not seen either Jabo or Vacor like that. Could it be a Vitro Conqueror?

I tried for at least an hour here looking every place I could think of. I thought maybe Mysterious Girl, Iguana, Commando but none are quite right. These yellow and white swirling ribbons inside of this iridized shooter look like seaweed sort of. Backlit it looks quite yellow. I'm at a loss. Thank you!

Thanks Mojo! edited again LOL

Here's a Jabo Double Ingot maybe two 5/8th marbles transforming to a monster of roughly 3/4 inches. (both sides)

One of my favorite Vacors. I think they are beautiful! I may or may not have one. It looks very much like the one smack dab in the middle of your group.

I agree, they look iridescent on the site and in the right lighting these can look extra shiny. I am thinking I was right in the first place as they are Mexican made. So . . . back to editing the title and I'm naming these "Thunderbolts" and they are moving in with my extra loose Vacors.

Check this marble out. https://froschkoenigspiele.ch/artikel/murmel-35mm-thunderbolt/ Looks very close and if you read this German site in English, it is called a Thunderbolt II, (thanks Mojo) from House of Marbles and made in Mexico. mehbeee?

Thank you all for the hekp! I wonder what they are? They seem very happy and are getting along in my tray of 5/8th Jabo marbles. I'd like to know so they can go in the right group.

I did have these as Rooster though and they are quite different than in post 1. Unless . . . they are weak Roosters?

Woah Nelly! Wowzer, thanks a lot! Joe2 you're awesome. Now to edit the title and get to the YMCA. (in the snow) Thank you!

I figured I can do this. Been working on these loose stray Mega Marbles and gathered them for pictures. I named the images after what these are. There are 4 I can't ID yet. I did try, honest. All but 4 I have found the names for of these. I was hoping somebody or a couple of you could name these last 4 for me. Thank you. =============== These three white swirls have a light sheen to the outer surface but not near as much as the second pair which are a lot more iridescent. They look similar but I don't think they are the same. These red ones are quite nice with swirls inside a transparent red interior. The yellow one is actually quite clear and colorless on the inside but has a small patch and some streaks of yellow covering some of the surface which makes the interior look yellow too.

Sorry about that. Oh how dumb I feel with that post. I think I had these in a tray with Mega Marbles and I am now sure I just stuck some Jabos in there a few nights ago and I bagged these up while sorting the Megas. So tell me yes, these are Jabo classics.

See third post. Sorry about that. Lilac Purple base, Green and Baby Blue patches or stripes. Sorry for the bad pictures but I think if you saw these before you will recognize them and might know what they are. Please give me the nickname. I am pretty sure these are Mega Marbles. Thank you.

Ahhh Nice contents from the bag Tommy. Even better than I thought but that's not all of them is it?

That net looks like it's holding a lot of marbles. Oh what fun to go through.

I think they mean the glass that the cold cream was in. That it may have been used to make the marble.

It's a paperweight now. A nice one.

Awesome, I really appreciate that. Changed the title as ID-d.
