   Definitely in 662 Dump Truck from 1976. Don't know if they appeared anywhere else though.

3. What childhood favorite sets are underwhelming in hindsight?

   

   Discussion by Aanchir · July 2014 · Home› Collecting

   I was just reflecting on some of my childhood favorite themes in response to a blog comment on another site, and I realized just how horrible some of them were in hindsight. Some of my favorite themes as a kid were Launch Command, Aquazone, Wild West, and Exploriens (I still have a pillowcase in my bedroom with #6195 on…

   Bottom picture: Police 2x3 was used in #611 among other sets. 2 x 4 with red stipe and windows from #687 Blue tipper bucket from #612 Yellow piece from #662 Those may also have been in other sets but the ones I mention are ones I still own. The blue cog was in several sets with gears in the pre-technic days.

   Actually, real prices of LEGO has dropped over time. Prices keep rising because of inflation. Let's say you want a fire station. In 1981 that would be #6382 for $25. But in 2012 dollars that is really $63.64 for 390 pieces, or 16.318 cents per piece. In 1990 you'd get #6389 for $52. But in 2012 dollars that is really…

   Perhaps, but really things aren't much different today. Actually, the largest most expensive sets sill can have about 4 figures but now contain more bricks. You often get more pieces per fig. For example, a fire station: in 1981 you got #6382 with 4 figs and 390 pieces while in 2010 you got #7208 with 4 figs and 662…

   @mathew They made the bricks go further because they had less bricks to work with at a given price-point. You make the argument, which if I am understanding you correctly is a criticism, that today's sets are brick-heavy in relation to past sets. Your example with the UCS set is disingenuous because that kind of product…
