   Hi guys, I'm 45, my first set was #483, wow, Lego has come a long way ! After helping my kids with some sets (latest was #7965) I thought I want one for my birthday. I like the buildings, but not much the modular (loved my daughter #31026, but I want something bigger). I would prefer something you can open, like the #10229…

   My favorite is my first set 483 Alpha Rocket Base. A close second would be 6950 Mobile Rocket Transport

   I'm building #483 Alpha-1 Rocket Base ( #920 in Europe). I decided to listen to The Police for the song "Walking on the Moon". The song is ©1979! Perfect!

   Yes.... 1966 British LEGO Ltd. continued production of the 480-481-482-483 (Building Toy labeled) sloped bricks that matched the earlier 280-281-282-283 bricks. But in continental Europe they merged the 280-281-282-283 sets into two sets... 480 and 481 (LEGO System labeled)... and later in the 1960s the EU 480 and 481…

   @jpeg07 looking at my sets, my earlier solid stud heads (from Alpha-1 Rocket Base, set 483) are squarer. Although it might be the case that some moulds are used for some types of figures - e.g. perhaps all red and white spacemen have squarer heads.

   @EGRoberts the computer screens on blue inverted slopes are legitimate! Part 3660p01. I have them in #483 Alpha-1 Rocket Base and #493 Space Command Center. They also exist in white, which I had forgotten about. The motorbike seems familiar. That's a great score! Have fun!

   LEGO doesn't promote this as a serious model train, but they should for the prices being charged... Pair of HE - $260 PF for 2x HE - $223 Total price - $483 That is nearly $500 for a train. For that much money, it should have power linkages to connect the two, it should also be RF for that much money, rather than IR.

    Thank you! At least I can stop doubting my own memories now. I'll be checking copyright dates on boxes on my sets when I finally get around to doing a full inventory. (Sadly, this isn't a box that was kept. We didn't start saving boxes until I got #483 Alpha-1 Rocket Base later on...)
