The woman said, “Holy **** you guys, I just pulled all of this out of Barnes & Noble. Eight, nine, ten boxes.”

She continued, “Are you kidding me? Hold on. You’re kidding me. They’re not open, but the boxes are damaged. Holy ****, you guys, I’ve got to check the rest of the boxes.”

The boxes she found were damaged, but contained some pretty sweet Lego scores, including Disney and Harry Potter sets.

She said, “Every single box is Legos. Look. Oh my god. I’m shaking right now, y’all. Holy ****. This is absolutely insane. This is probably a couple thousand dollars worth of Legos. The boxes are not open, but the box said ‘Flood.’ Look at ’em.”

Jackpot!
