1984

Mine didn't turn out quite that well, but I needed a place to park the Mystery Machine. I still need to add some tiles to the street in front, but it is a good addition to the scary section of my town. (Used 2 75904 sets)

Well, we got the new catalog this week. My son pointed to this on the cover and said he wants it. He slept outside last night.

Today I finally got around to building some frames to display some of my Minifig collection! Happy with the outcome, should look sweet on the wall!!

Latest bit of info from the usual suspects is it is all OT based, not Rogue One, and will be a play set and is larger than 10188. VIP access will be Sept 2016 apparently, so not long to go now. I already own 10188 so if it is not spectacular I may have to go with Cindy's castle in Sept instead. Other bit of SW UCS news Snowspeeder pushed back to 2017 and the 40th anniversary UCS set for next year may just be the ISD which would be very fitting.

Amazon 60073 - City: Demolition Service Truck - $14.11 (44% off)

I was wondering what was the first set you gals and guys owned? When did it start? For me, as far as I can remember, it was 6363 Auto Repair Shop, set made in 1980. I was 3 that year plus I wouldn't remember anything so it had to be couple years later. no, no helicopter, but yes, stickers Plus I bought it again few years ago On eBay, but later again, I sold it lol

6929 Starfleet Voyager In case anyone wonders why I like outrageously big guns from Chima, this was the reason

I think nobody cares about that logo besides some weirdos and hippies. Especially now that Disney has proven they respect SW by not botching EPVII.

I just repurchased and built the very first Lego set I ever received. I got this set from Santa many years ago I just got one like it on Craigslist.

Nicest display I've seen thus far. http://m.blog.naver.com/mazingaf/220725132714 use Google chrome to translate

Here's the image:

I think it was this one that I got for Christmas but I'm not sure. I also got some space sets early on but I don't recall which ones.

Last Friends Stable 3189 FBA : $169

Great thread. I can hardly remember last week, let alone 35 years ago, but I think it was this: Another in the running would be this: followed shortly thereafter by 6390 and 6383. I remember staring in fascination at the back of the instructions for 7720.

And weed out all the investors whose interest in Lego started with 76023 Tumbler!

My first set I remember playing with was 392. I was 3 and zooming this around my grandparents house. Although what I consider my first big kid LEGO set and the one that got me hooked was 6270. I got this for Christmas 1990, I was 6. Classic Pirate sets will also be my favorite theme.

Unless Lego comes up with a Bonnaroo themed set, this may be our last opportunity to grab some port-o-potties.

It depends on the job site.

Hmmm.... how much do port-o-potties part out for?

Very happy with this purchase. Still can't believe my luck. In great condition. Only missing a few pieces which I have already ordered from bricklink. Super Star Destroyer next!

Funny, I see many of the sets posted in the thread and I owned them as well. Here is mine...

BeanieBabyPicker.com

Is this a thread to expose everyone's age?

What about doing the same in the summer heat of Iraq and Afghanistan, where the locals have left foot prints on the toilet seat from their alternative method of using a toilet?

Di ney

$75.97(+tax), in case anyone looking to spend as little as possible to get the fountain set

Love this Set! Step 4 / 8.

60097 LEGO City Town City Square is down to $113.55 @ WM in case anyone missed it on Amazon. http://www.walmart.com/ip/LEGO-City-Town-City-Square-60097/45059364

Well, I wouldn't be heartbroken if it's a bigger, better version, and I would probably still buy it. Compared to models released in the last couple of years, 10188 is kind of starting to show its age. With regards to the UCS next year.... FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS GOOD, PLEASE BE TRUE!!!!!!! I would probably pee my pants if that was the case. Of all the sets I had, 10030 is the one I truly miss the most. I need it in my collection, but not at the current prices, that's for sure.

That would be : 6235: Buried Treasure

It's been far too long since I received my first LEGO set. So while I can't say this was my true "first set", were close enough to being my first for me to call them out. Space: Set 924 - Space Transporter

I have one left, you're tempting me.

Penny is the Deadpool of IDEAS sets.

My son little Timmy really wanted this. SHAME ON YOU TRU for false selling.

Maybe a fellow brickpicker? What are the chances someone has a son that happens to be named little Timmy and he is sad b/c he didn't get his Brick Bounty?!!

My son's B-day Party + Three-Day weekend = Lots of swimming, putt-putting, eating, and Lego building. We finished the three smaller sets from his birthday party haul. Next up: The Phantom, Poe's X-Wing, and Kylo's Shuttle

This was one of my first sets: http://brickset.com/sets/480-1 I had forgotten all about it until I recently found one of the doors in a the lego stash at my folks house. Great set for the time.

I think I'd risk my bladder exploding before venturing into one of the Bonaroo potties.

Ordered! I'll eventually use the truck's pieces for something else, but oh, how I will keep the kaka palace!

Red Card wants dealt in.

Of the new sets I've seen at multiple TRUs, this set (that was on the shelf a week ago) has an empty spot already. This one appears to be a winner.

Pretty sure i had a bunch of generic LEGO "bins" or creative boxes, but the first actual set i remember fondly is 6581 Dig n Dump, loved that set.

I don't think they factor in the aftermarket when applying price points to new releases. Just a statement, based on ill-witted logic.

Facts are irrelevant if you think the sets are ugly. Accuracy to the source material or not, they just look bleh. Sometimes those 2D shots don't do those small sets justice and you need to see them in person.

Mine was 147 - Refrigerated Wagon from 1976. Got it as a present from my dad when he returned from a business trip. As I was 3yrs old at the time I got it, I didn't properly build it until a few years later. Still remember that I got it - room I was in, how I sat down with my dad who tried to explain it to me. Great memory

The first and only set I needed (lego was different back then) until I bought the United Nations over 40 years later. My grandparents ordered it from the JC Penny catalogue and it was delivered wrapped in butcher paper, I still remember the day it arrived. It had the removable white plastic sorting trays and you could build anything you wanted to.
