   I'm recently back from my 'winter of the soul' which has lasted for 26 years! 8851 excavator was the last set I had until this year. I started off with the HiPs legoland sets in the '70s & then bought all the 600 series with the minifigs when they arrived in '78. I was lucky enough to get 853 car chassis for Christmas in…

   Hello, Having played extensively with LEGO Technic as a youth (I still have the original 853 Car Chassis Technical set), I now find myself playing with LEGO Technic with my son!

   Comment by Coolsplash · January 2012 · Home› Collecting

   Following are 3 of my rarest but I have other Technic stuff with me dating back to 1977 or so. Also have lots of LEGO City/System sets, LEGO Space sets, and lots of old parts which are all unsorted and kept in a big box. Here are the 3 which came to mind for now: 853 Auto Chassis -…

10. Re: Do you build Lego models without using the instructions?

    

    Comment by TechnicNick · October 2013 · Home› Building and Techniques

    I used to enjoy assembling my Technic sets using just the blueprint that came with the very early sets, not always successfully... although I can still build #853 from memory; I was always crashing it.
