   I have been working on finishing my Unofficial LEGO Sets/Parts Collectors Guide expansion (2800 pages to over 4000), and while I am currently working on the 2011-2020 sets, I keep getting side tracked with older set important information.

   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…

   Hi Andrew, Believe it or not, I only started collecting in 2011 (the Tower Bridge kicked me out of my dark ages), and then I came to my senses in 2015 and started selling everything off. As everyone on this forum knows, this hobby is expensive as all hell -- my wife often joked that it would be cheaper if I got into meth…

   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…
