BearCrash Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I wonder who got the license plate number #00666? They probably were not happy. Why would they not be happy? I'd pay extra to get the Number Of The Beast on my license plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich B Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 I would love to see #00001 or 00002 discovered, or any low plate for that matter. Unfortunately it might be years before we ever see these, if ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinP Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Why would they not be happy? I'd pay extra to get the Number Of The Beast on my license plate. That would be awesome. Then I would change the color of the Crawler to a bright red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did pick up the first off the assembly line way I heard. Not like that promises anything though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumor has it the sets with 10 smallest plates went to the contest winner and TLG's vault. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 From what I have heard, Lego has taken all the rare numbers out of circulation. Like 00001, 00002, 19999, 20000 etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOrcKing Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Wait. . . what vault? TLG has a vault!? What are they trying to do?Yes, Lego has had a vault forever now. They keep at least one of every set they manufacture sealed and in mint condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Yes, Lego has had a vault forever now. They keep at least one of every set they manufacture sealed and in mint condition.

TheOrcKing Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 So they are resellers theirselves?!?!? Mutany!!!It's basically cataloguing all their work same as a museum. Although from what little I have heard there are some gaps for anything before 1970 but everything afterwards is there. I remember seeing a little tour video into Lego's secret vault but I can't find it right now. :frantics: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TabbyBoy Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 This one? http://lego.gizmodo.com/5018990/lego-secret-vault-contains-all-sets-in-history Wow, that video really tugged at my heart strings as I didn't realise I was that old! My fondest childhood memory is splitting open the 45deg perforations along the box and the smell of "newness" from the bricks inside. It just doesn't smell the same now, does it?

gregpj Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Yeah, that's the one except I remember watching it on youtube I think. Thank you for finding that. After finding it again, I looked on YouTube so I could embed it in the post, but it didn't seem to be there. Here is the URL directly to the video, I wonder if it could be embedded? http://www.viddler.com/embed/aec03d35/?f=1&autoplay=false&player=mini&disablebranding=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
