For those of you who already own my LEGO DVD... (2800 pages, 6000+ images, 1/3 million words, 73 chapters, 400 page price guide (dollars and Euros))... I'm going to be expanding the document as a desktop download only (no shipping, no customs, 6-15 min. download time of 688MB from the Cloud)... and the 73 chapters is going to go over 85 chapters (already finished half of the additional ones)... to make this "Encyclopedia of LEGO" go into the 21st century... covering the years 1949-2000... or all the LEGO of the 20th century. Then newer stuff you already know about anyway! ;-)

So for anyone who alread has my DVD or download... the future upgrades are going to be FREE! I'll be taking the guide from 2800 pages to well above 3500, and over 7000 images, many of sets not even in the Billund Archives.

One of the new chapters is on LEGO Anecdotes (or stories).... historic little stories that would otherwise have been lost to posterity... rediscovered.... this chapter will have about 20-30 multi-page stories... here's an example.... LEGO Sold to Beauty Parlors and Barber Shops!!
http://www.youblisher.com/p/690501-Wooden-Box-Sets-for-Beauty-Parlors-Barber-Shops/

Another early story.... about LEGO and Maersk... and the history of the first Maersk sets/models...

The reason that there will be no more DVDs (or CDs before them)... is that there is always something unknown popping up with LEGO collecting. Just 2 months ago I was agape (yes astonished!!) when a Norwegian collector friend actually found a set that I thought was an old 1956 Norwegian catalog typo.... the previously unknown 1309 Esso Garage Set... only sold in Norway from 1956-57... and unknown to the folks at the Billund LEGO Archives/Collections!

So sets like this rarity may pop up from time to time.... so all purchasers of my desktop download collectors guide will get future updates and new (old) discoveries for FREE! :-)

Got an unexpected bill to pay! :-(

So I'm offering several very valuable freebies today for anyone buying my Unofficial LEGO Sets/Parts Collectors Guide as a desktop download.... 2800 pages plus a 400 page price guide (in Euros and Dollars). Only $29.95...
http://legocollectorsguide.weebly.com/

Here are your choice of freebies.....
--------------------------
1) (1 Available) a NEW cantilevered POLICE road sign... very rare only made 1976-81, and none are available in new condition on Bricklink... (approx. $25-35 value)

2) (1 Available) First LEGO figure... in EXCELLENT CONDITION... from the (1956-64) 271 Policemen Accessories Parts Pack (only ever sold in Denmark, Norway and Netherlands). These are very rare... (approx. $20-$25 value)
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?P=271pb04&colorID=0

3) (1 Group of 4 Available) One of each of the historic 4 rare 1955-57 4 types of Macaroni bricks in 1/4 and 1/2 circle in red.... in NEW condition.... rare in this condition!! (approx. $25 value)
http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?itemID=43328&colorID=5
http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?itemID=68624&colorID=5
http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?itemID=68623&colorID=5
http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?pg=60&colorID=5&itemID=446&sz=10&searchSort=P

4) (1 group available) an entire set of 14 different number (0-9) and symbol ( : + - = ) NEW bold medium blue bricks from a 1969-72 987 Number Bricks Parts Pack... ($28 value)
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?S=987-1
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?P=3005pt3b&colorID=1

5) (3 groups of 8 Arches Available) A group of 8 NEW white (2339) 1x4x5 half arches... the older (soon discontinued) type. These are of the "continuous bow" (2339) type. The newer (76768) type are known as "reinforced underside" type, and were introduced in 2012. These older types were used (8 of them) in the 10189 Taj Mahal Set.. which (like other modular sets) has caused the price of these rarer arches to zoom upward. Right now a group 8 of these arches go for $2.00 to $6.75 on Bricklink. A great investment in soon to be very high demand parts... watch their price rise! (3 groups of 8 available!)
