What's your oldest set?

[Sparkesy43]

Going through my recently reclaimed childhood collection, I was interested to find out my oldest set. I've only sorted the tattered instructions so far, but I have a 6609 from 1980, as well as several from other years in the 80s

Here it is

What do you have?

Just a couple of 1999 sets, T-16 & Naboo star fighter.

Lego Space 918 One Man Space Ship (1979).

I loved this set, as a kid.

From my childhood I have a lot of space sets like 918 and others also some castle sets.

Oldest set I have is 375 Yellow Castle set I think.

There's something familiar about that wide blue piece with the space logo on it. I don't have instructions for it, but I may have that in the bulk lot somewhere. There's plenty of familiar sets on Brickset that I don't have instructions for but are pretty certain I have.

483 Alpha Rocket Base (although the one I've got might be 920 Rocket Launch Pad - not sure as I don't have the instructions any more). Super fun set, though my favorites from the classic space are 6980 Galaxy Commander and 6930 Space Supply Station.

I will be sorting through my childhood collection over the next week or so.  I think I started collecting Lego in the late 80s.  I guess we will see what all I have in those boxes

No idea where most of the bits are so I bought another one from ebay

 

A lot of the sets people mentioned above I have now built from buying bulk lots.

Man its incredible to look at those and see how far Lego has come.

Got this for my 9th birthday. Must have built it a hundred times. It's the oldest thing I own from my childhood.

6929 StarFleet Voyager. A starship capable of transporting its own cargo? What a novel idea !!!! The alternate builds at the back of the box were some of the best alternate builds of any space set.

Oldest set I have is 375 Yellow Castle set I think.

That is my oldest Lego set too and the first one I built when my sister's collection was handed over to me as I became old enough. I still have a few Fabuland characters somewhere but I have no idea about those sets though.

Used to play with this in the bathtub started my obsession with boats and lego's
