41. Re: Very first Lego set

    

    Comment by Dread_Pirate · June 2013 · Home› Collecting

    I got my first set from my sis when I was 4 or 5 for my birthday. I cant remember which Bday it was but I do know it was before I started kindergarten. It was a Tipper truck like the #612 set from 1974 but it was all blue and bought around 79-80. I still have the dump bed part of the truck and prolly all the other pieces…

    Comment by wagnerml2 · July 2017 · Home› Buying & Selling Topics

    @1974 - I post here because I know the community and know there are plenty of bricklink sellers. Just looking to see if anyone else has had the same issue. Both paypal payments cleared and I provided the transaction IDs to the help desk. I have also posted on the bricklink forum to no avail. The phone number for customer…

    Thanks for the heads up @SumoLego.... @LusiferSam... the real head scratcher in this mystery was the Dec. 1974 date, well beyond the 1972 end of USA Samsonite date. So I was wondering how a promotional mail-order item that has all the hallmarks of a Samsonite product could still be delivered as late as 1974? The only…

    Ordered #42057 and #42061 from [email protected] to get the Mini VW Beetle, might have to BL a second version to match my yellow 1974 version at some point. Triple points adds nicely to my tally. Building up nectar points as well to hopefully pickup the Technic BMW bike, then I've got everything for the 40th anniversary Technic chassis.…

    Aww! Thanks for checking, mpfirnhaber. I do appreciate it. I went though hundreds of bricks myself last night!! I got one answer on Lego Answers Beta that this brick (#8 below) exists, but no photos. Maybe it doesn't exist? Here's my list so far (I know including years is pretty sketchy, as I've learned while doing this,…

Yes, I've posted many anecdotes (that was up until now, totally 'secret') over the last few years. I go by the moniker "1974" here and on EB/BL. I could tell a LOT more but I/my sources might get into trouble, so .. hmm .. But as my info is mostly quite old I have so far have not felt the mighty TLG hammer. Might be…

47. Re: Is this Lego?

    

    Comment by Istokg · May 2016 · Home› Building and Techniques

    This part was a ships keel that was first introduced in 1973 in LEGO boats 310, 311, 312, as well as LEGO Minitalia boat sets 30, 31 and 32. It was used again in 1974 in the ultra rare 1650 Maersk Like Container Ship... before being redesigned a bit with the extension on the bottom (as seen here)... and used in 7 further…

48. Re: I analyzed 67 years of LEGO data

    

    Comment by Istokg · July 2016 · Home› Everything else LEGO

    I have to second what @LusiferSam said.... the input data to this very interesting research for sets prior to 1972 is incomplete. From 1954-72 the majority of sets had parts in white and red... pretty equally divided. No idea why there was a spike for 1960... maybe because only a few sets were introduced that year. 1964…

    Hm. http://www.brickpicker.com/bpms/set.cfm?set=6016-1 http://www.brickpicker.com/bpms/set.cfm?set=1974-3 I am not sure what I am missing, or what you are. I just entered the set numbers in the search box and there they were, market value and all. On a more general note, you can always send them a message and ask what…

50. Re: Worst designed LEGO part ever?

    

    Comment by Istokg · July 2012 · Home› Building and Techniques

    Historically one of the worst designs was also one of the most beautiful. The old 1970-74 granulated trees and bushes (Pine, Fruit, and 2 or 3 branch bushes) are probably the most realistic individual piece plants TLG ever made. But having all those granules was the problem. Young children could easily chew off individual…
