h311m4n Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 With all the what you bought, built or sold today threads, I thought it might be a fun idea to start a new thread about which set you prize the most in your collection? I'm not talking about the one that has the most monetary value, but the one set that you wouldn't part from even if you had to choose between it and your own arm!It can be any set of any theme, regardless of size or price.To make it a tad more difficult, try to keep it one and single only set.For me, even though I don't own that many sets, I'm very proud to currently own an unopened UCS Batmobile 7784 that I managed to get a few months back for a very decent price. Haven't gotten around to build it yet but I love the way that thing looks! Quote
eklein03 Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 10039 Black Falcon's Fortress. So happy they reissued it. The old lego castle were the best. if only i was born in the 70s or 80s... Quote
pickleboy Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 I don't have a lot of older sets but so far it has to be Destiny's Bounty at $35.00. I have a ton I like for the future but since we are only allowed to name one...:) Quote

derickb81 Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 sense i'm just starting investing i'd say oliviashouse for now Quote
vr4kevykev Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 That one is easy. Every set I kept as a kid. With special consideration going to my 6285 Black Seas Barracuda. Quote
Huskers1236 Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 This is going to sound really lame, but I like the stuff my son makes over any set I have displayed or in a box. As a kid, I would have to say my King's Castle was my favorite. Quote
h311m4n Posted February 9, 2013 Author Posted February 9, 2013 That one is easy. Every set I kept as a kid. With special consideration going to my 6285 Black Seas Barracuda. Wow that's gotta be a huge collection! Quote
kmanalo Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 My favorite is the Taj Mahal. My son built it when he was 6 1/2. It took him 2 months and two days. I just sorted the pieces for him. It is now a part of our living room. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Dang, that's a toughie. I've kept every set in my entire life. From a monetary standpoint, all the NINJAGO I have but not built yet are pretty high, like "Garmadons Dark Fortress" and "Ice Dragon Attack". For sake of nostaglia, "Galactic Chief" from the second series of SPACE POLICE was one that I 'swooshed' the bejeezus out of. Heh heh. I love all my LEGO and those were my best memories as a child, kinda difficult to just pick one. Quote
Corythejedi Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 My pride is the original Death Star but a special shout out for my entire western theme with fort legoredo and the original batman theme sets. Quote
Rich B Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 My pride is the original Death Star but a special shout out for my entire western theme with fort legoredo and the original batman theme sets. I loved the entire western theme from the mid 90s. I wish I could find my old western sets!! Quote
CrazyIvan Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 My original Galaxy Explorer. I have all the pieces, moon base plate and instruction manual. Sadly, no box. This was one of the first sets I ever received as a kid and was the set that caused me to fall in love with lego. Awesome memories. http://www.brickset.com/detail/?set=497-1 Quote
Studebricker Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 I would say all my classic space sets are special, but if I had to pick the one I played with the most as a kid, that would be the Galaxy Commander. Ahead of its time I think... Quote
slobey Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 6081 Kings Mountain Fortress. The pride of my collection when I was a kid and after my wife, kids and photos the next thing I would rescue from my burning house ;-) Quote
ApesInCapes Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 6081 Kings Mountain Fortress. The pride of my collection when I was a kid and after my wife, kids and photos the next thing I would rescue from my burning house ;-) That's a pretty sweet set. I would say it's my 7140 X-Wing. I got this set before the prequels were released. Such an awesome ship at the time. Still have it in my collection today in complete condition out of the box for display Quote
legopocalypse Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 It's a tie between my Taj Mahal, Eiffel Tower, and Statue Of Liberty Quote
comicblast Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 It's a tie between my Taj Mahal, Eiffel Tower, and Statue Of LibertyThat's quite an impressive collection you have there, legopocalypse! I am extremely envious! Quote
