1. Re: Very first Lego set

   

   Comment by mressin · May 2012 · Home› Collecting

   I can't say with certainty what the first set I played with was because only a few bricks have survived from that era. However, the first set I remember getting as a present was 6801 Moon Buggy.

   Yeah, totally agree @piratemania7‌ I remember getting #6801 I think it was and thought it was an amazing set. It had multiple builds and the space man. But today it looks pitiful - I still like it though and picked it up when I came out of my dark ages.

3. Re: LEGO Sets numbering

   

   Comment by Huw · April 2011 · Home› Everything else LEGO

   4 digit numbers for 'regular' sets are now allocated randomly. Until the mid-1990s LEGO followed a very rigid scheme with the number indicating the theme and the size of the set [1], but back then it was easier to with relatively few different themes. [1], so 6801 was a small space set, 6899 a large one

4. Re: Instruction book organization

   

   Comment by Oldfan · January 2012 · Home› Collecting

   3-ring binders, in plastic page protectors sorted by theme, in numerical order. I have 19 binders so far... Also, our local office supply stores sell plastic sleeve protectors with 3-4 small pockets rather than one large 8.5x11 pocket; these are perfect for the smaller instruction books like 6801, etc. (They are marketed…

   Hi all I thought I'd post this here and see if any interest before venturing onto eBay / Facebook Market place.... My plan to try and replace broken & lost parts and get the hydrogen peroxide out to whiten parts and restore my remaing classic space sets has bit the dust as I don't seem to have the time to work on it, so…

8. Re: Which set do you have most of, and why?

   

   Comment by mressin · September 2012 · Home› Collecting

   I have three #6801 Moon Buggies. Why? Well. It was my children's birthday, thirty years ago. Three friends came with identical presents - said moon buggy. My parents said, "Wait, open only one, then we can return the other two to the store for different sets." But I wouldn't listen. Today I wish I had listened, of course,…

9. Re: Which sets did you 'lust' after as a kid?

   

   Comment by beegeedee · December 2013 · Home› Collecting

   Anything with a minifig but especially space - only had 2 sets. I was totally obsessed by sci-fi tv shows back then (Buck Rogers, Star Trek, BSG and the wed night BBC 2 sci-fi movies). I had a load of lego and between myself and my brother we had maybe 8 or 9 minifigs. I do remember being at a summer camp and going to a…

10. Re: What's your LEGO 'status' today?

    

    Comment by JudgeChuck · December 2015 · Home› Everything else LEGO

    ^ None of my LEGO is hidden per se, but the boxes are all in the loft, protected by plastic bags and spiders and the LEGO itself is all neatly organised in storage containers, so she doesn't know exactly what I have. She knows that it's a lot (all things being relative), given the size and number of containers. I tend to…
