   If misprints are rare and valuable, the bricklink seller with these must be a millionaire ... They are really rare, he only has 842 of them. 200 of these, and so on ...

   Noticing Battle of Endor is consistently around $160+ nowadays. I personally don't think the Hoth base will be as good (fewer figs and such), but I imagine that could be done here soon. Maybe in Dec? The one thing that kills me on Endor is that for a base, the set has exactly 20 basic bricks on a 842-pc set. C'mon man!…

   One of the rarest of all LEGO sets was the 1969 introduced Sears Mail Order Catalog #842 Town Plan set. This set, which came with a tri-fold unique Town Plan board, also came with 3 of the LEGO 1:87 cars in garages. In this 1969 Sears catalog image we see the built town with 3 cars, and can see one of the garages built…

   Ironically in 1965 the 261-268 garage sets were replaced by 661-668 cardboard box sets... which were not quite as cool... Ironically the last of the garages in continental Europe were used up in 1966-67 6 Auto Multi-packs (695/696).... but in the USA these garages lingered for a few more years, finally disappearing in the…

   Surprisingly there were only 2 LEGO sets that used that garage as part of a built LEGO model. The 536 set that LusiferSam mentioned was one... the other was the 1969 era #842 Sears Town Plan set, which was a mail order only item sold in a brown box. The set came with 3 1:87 cars in garages... and the garages were part of…

   For the equivalent of USD $140, I picked up two large bins and four smaller bins of used Lego in a bulk sale. I could tell the Lego was clean but missing most of the figs. The other issue was that literally every part was separated so figuring out what sets were included would take a while. I'm almost finished the sorting…

Ok, you've got me stumped. The only sets I can think of that come close to matching that description are 310 or one of the early locomotives. There just aren't that many sets under 200 pieces from either year that are electric. Back to the catalogs. The JC Penney's brown box is mine. It's a photo I took for Istokg, so…

   Thanks Huw.... when it comes to the USA Samsonite LEGO that was used by Mail-Order Catalogs and also by promotional mail-in sets, it gets very problematic. From 1961-65 Mail-Order catalogs of department stores mainly had Samsonite LEGO sets that any toy store could buy. But from 1965-72 things got really crazy.... some…
