11. Re: Maybe this is as good as it gets....

    

    Comment by Oldfan · January 2014 · Home› Introduce yourself

    I received my first Lego set, #565 Moon Landing, when I was 5 years old. That was about 38 years ago. I was actively collecting from 1976-1989 (well, "begging my parents" is actually the correct term!), then from 1999-present (Star Wars brought me out of the "dark ages"). I still have #565, along with #445 and #113, all my…

    I've used the PAB tubs (and fill them very efficiently -- 565 1x2, with 1x4 tiles as fillers, for example) ... but where does one get the cardboard PAB boxes?? Last time I was there, I saw quite a few kids with them ...

    My first set was #565 moon landing. I need to work on getting it or bricklinking it after all my childhood Lego were given away by my dad. A close second is my sealed UCS MF which I plan to open and build with my son in short order.

    Parents bought me #565-1 Moon Landing. This was only 7 years after Apollo 11...then I got #445-1 Police Units and #113-1 Universal Building Set. I had a blast building all sorts of stuff with those sets. Once Classic Space came into being, I was hooked for life!

16. Re: Which LEGO set would you most struggle to part with?

    

    Comment by Oldfan · April 2012 · Home› Collecting

    ^I second this; parting with 565 Moon Landing (my first ever set), 462 Rocket Launcher (my first system set), or 497 Galaxy Explorer (my favorite set) will be difficult. The modulars (I have the full set) look fantastic, but they'll be sold off before the space stuff when the time comes...

    Don't know if I linked the photo correctly, but anyway ... my mom saved all my old sets and instructions. When I first got that box out a few years ago, the kids went a little crazy. We had a town with 1970's hospital, fire station, police station, plus current (at the time) Speed Racer cars and Anakin's Starfighter, and…

    Comment by ecmo47 · April 2015 · Home› Collecting

    https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=3144&in=S I did look it up and your exactly right. The white aerial first appeared in 1969 and was included in many sets until 1973. Light Grey's run was from 1979-1984. Milky white had the longest run as it first appeared in 1976 in set # 565 Moon Lander. I received that set…
