legodelorean Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Wow, I have a bunch of those grey road baseplates too. I wonder if those are worth anything since they're vintage. I have two old moon crater base plates from the 80's too. Awesome!! Quote

Old baseplates don't tend to be worth too much unless they are in very good condition and even then, if you build at all, they are worth keeping IMO. http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?itemID=54&colorID=9 The moon plates are worth more.. http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?itemID=2485&colorID=9 Quote
TWO2SEVEN Posted August 13, 2014 Author Posted August 13, 2014 I noticed that some of the Wild West sets have "dirt road" baseplates. I also have an island baseplate with one of the Pirate sets. Quote
TWO2SEVEN Posted August 21, 2014 Author Posted August 21, 2014 Tonight I started the rebuilding of my childhood collection. 6571 released in 1994. The vehicles and figures have already been posted, I just have to get them out of another box.

TWO2SEVEN Posted August 23, 2014 Author Posted August 23, 2014 Color sorted two of the bigger bins tonight. Quote
Huskers1236 Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 This is all really cool. My parents kept all my Lego for me, but unfortunately it was discolored pretty badly since I kept a lot of sets in front of a window. It's really cool to see all the printed parts and baseplates, along with the fancy boxes, but ultimately it's what got Lego into trouble financially. Quote

I put all of these away in boxes in a closet. I have seen a few yellowed white bricks, but for the most part they are in good shape. I also found a few random things in the boxes. The best one so far has been a Micro Machine haha. 1 Quote
TWO2SEVEN Posted August 28, 2014 Author Posted August 28, 2014 Started building Fort Legoredo last night 3 Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 For some reason reminds me of Lincoln logs. I loved those. Quote
TWO2SEVEN Posted August 30, 2014 Author Posted August 30, 2014 Fort Legoredo is reborn! My plan for this weekend is to get all of the Western sets built and take some pictures before I pack them away. 2 Quote
Victorymike18 Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Very cool! You and I apparently had similar taste in Lego as kids. I'm envious of that Model Team set though! I personally like sorting bins of pieces, it's like a treasure hunt. Quote
