61. Re: LEGO sets to buy

    

    Comment by MaffyD · October 2019 · Home› Buying & Selling Topics

    So, to update the post I made back in July, now it's after my birthday... Un-Unbought: #21044 Paris Architecture - Skylines (I thought I had bought this, but then I couldn't find it, so I thought I imagined getting it. After looking for something else, I found it again! So I did buy it after all - I would've felt stupid…

    Maersk sets have been popular ever since the 1650 Maersk Line Container Set came out as a promotional set back in 1974. In 2004 the 10152 Maersk Sealand was introduced as a popular set, which contained for the first time Maersk blue 2x4 bricks (only 4). In 2005 an additional 10152 set version was introduced, and in 2006…

I must have missed your comments about those... I too love the 1970-74 granulated bushes and trees. They look much realer than the fruit and pine trees of today (although the taller custom made trees from individual branches are awesome). But for smaller shrubbery or trees, those granulated do look so real, also make…

    OK.... now for something a bit more challenging... time to play LEGO Sherlock Holmes! :) One of the regular USA/Canada Samsonite LEGO sets was called the #004 Master Builder Set. This set was sold in all toy stores in USA and Canada, even in Sears, Eaton's and FAO Schwarz. It was a 671 piece set that was just a large…

    Comment by Istokg · November 2018 · Home› Collecting

    From a historical perspective TLG has always mixed parts from different molds in the same sets. Just like the old light gray parts, replaced by new light bluish-gray in 2003 have been mixed together in the same sets (for years thereafter... as late as 2009 for some sets), so too have different minor mold variations been…

    Comment by davee123 · April 2013 · Home› Everything else LEGO

    I'd have to agree with @Pocketmego-- LEGO has undergone a plethora of changes in product offering since their inception, so you're likely never to see a reversion to their previous style, short of individual exceptions that may come up here and there. 1949 - 1954 - AFAIK, the Automatic Binding Brick product was pretty much…

    Most LEGO sets with parts in different colors (besides red, white, blue, yellow, black, trans-clear) were introduced after the new millennium in decent quantities. Gray bricks were first introduced 1953-56 in Denmark and Norway only in 2x2 and 2x4 sizes as early (LEGO Mursten) slotted bricks... Then they were discontinued…

    Comment by Istokg · September 2020 · Home› Everything else LEGO

    If you are looking for any logic to set numbers, I can tell you from years of experience that there is none. If there are ranges of sequential numbers... then TLG will follow a logical sequence much of the time... other times the numbers bounce around. When LEGO brick sets first started in 1949 all sets started with a…
