Ironic that much of what is washing up is from the Divers theme.

The BBC seem to run a variation of this story every summer. I wonder if it prompts
more people to go on the search.

One of those BBC stories was what prompted me to buy a green dragon.

That's probably cheaper and quicker than flying here, then travelling down
to Cornwall on the off-chance!

I'm lucky enough to live in Cornwall.

Never found any Lego on the Beach though (guess I go to the wrong beaches).

Looking forward to visiting the exhibition next month

Planning to visit the exhibition soon.

Not found any myself, not checked many beaches though.

Visited Truro museum today :

Museum small but usual exhibits ok.

There is an area displaying washed up plastic on Cornish beaches, pretty poor
and only a tiny cabinet showing a few Lego pieces.

The message about plastic waste is commendable and very welcome.

If you are planning to go just to see the Lego, simply don’t bother, it’s dreadful.

As has been said already in another reply, you have to buy from someone to get
feedback, no-one can just give feedback to a new seller.

Best of luck with your shop.
