Brickset Bonusball: Mr_Cross wants to hear your White Whale stories - 24/11/2018 draw.
It is my pleasure to host the Bonusball this week. On my occasional lurks elsewhere I've seen folk sharing when they've acquired their White Whale. I obsess about LEGO, I have been very lucky and have obtained many of the sets I have wanted in any prolonged way. You could say I've hunted down a fair few White Whales. My… -
Re: How did you get started with LEGO?
When I was a child in the 50s, Lego was not sold in the US; I had Tinkertoys. My son loved Lego and we bought lots of space sets including #6990 for a special birthday, but I was not invited to play except to apply the stickers! In our later years, my husband and I stopped exchanging gifts (it was like an arms race - LOL)… -
Re: Seatron - A waste of time?
Why would TLG want to invest the cost of at least 5 molds (3 tracks, a chassis, and minimum of 1, probably more, on a motor- and a motor is itself a massive investment) and again try to build a theme around a hugely expensive set that most kids do not understand or want rather then in a new theme that will make money? I… -
Re: What is your fondest LEGO memory?
When I was a kid, my (much) older brother used to make scavenger hunts with encrypted clues that my younger brother and I had to use to find our "big" present each year. Each clue was printed out in code using WingDings or some similar font, with each symbol representing a letter of the alphabet. The first clue had 26… -
Re: SumoLEGO Bonusball Bonanza! (July 27, 2018)
I've invented a time machine, so my favourite memory is from yesterday when I went back in time to 1987, and ransacked the shelves of TRU in Woking (my childhood store), and paid a pittance for some choice Classic Space sets! Most notably #6990. Because this was the 80s they still had a healthy quantity of the previous few… -
Re: Background Imagery - Space Sets
Yep, this is probably correct. Possibly some sort of nylon, sprayed with something to strengthen it, sprayed or painted with something to give it texture, then sprayed for color. It's all Helvetica. The set number, "LEGOLAND", and the age range is bold; everything else is light. I took a stab at creating something… -

Re: Retired modular v Space Slug
This is all in all a fascinating discussion, because it goes beyond the face value of either the Space Slug or the Fire Brigade and moves into the realm of perceived value to both you and potential buyers and sellers. The problem with Lego as collectors items is that it is very much a fiat currency: unbacked, and only… -
Re: LEGO Sets numbering
From 1949-1979, LEGO predominantly used a 3-digit numbering scheme. I'm not sure if there was an organizational structure to it (seems like not much). There were a few 4-digit sets here and there, but almost all the 4-digit sets that existed started with "1" (#1000-#1999). From 1980 to maybe 1996? LEGO had a pretty nicely… -
Re: TRADE: Wantlist and items to trade
Updated list and forgot to add that the items on my wantlist are for my personal build collection so opened (complete/working) sets/items are more than welcome. Also, I am located in the US but would consider trades worldwide on the larger items. WANTLIST: #10196 Grand Carousel #10224 Town Hall #10228 Haunted House…
