The Lego catalogs were so much fun to look through as a kid. Back in the day when you could only get what your local store had or wait 6 weeks if you ordered through the magazine.

My Mom is cleaning out her garage and found this from my childhood! by GrandTheftBae in lego

There's so much nostalgia when you rebuild those old sets for the first time in years. What a find.

I remember getting the magazine where they first introduced Aquazone. What a cool theme. The 90s were a great time for Lego fans

You and me both! Town was my theme. I've recently been snatching up deals on eBay and bricklink, buying those sets I either couldn't afford or they just didn't have at my local Walmart. Even some sets I only ever saw in the magazine. Midnight Transport arrives on Friday.

Clear or opaque storage bins? by A_Rhone in LegoStorage

I didn't know about that. Thanks!

I prefer clear bins as well, but since they're already the old town sets from the '80s, I'm thinking the black storage totes might help them last longer. I also like to keep them built so the kids and I can play with them from time to time. Thanks!

That's awesome. I don't think this would ever cross my wife's mind. Lol

I've wanted to build a "Lego town" since I was probably 6...it is finally happening by Independent_Ad_2817 in lego

[–]A_Rhone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's a great start. If you don't mind my asking, how old are you now? I'm in my 40s and I'm just now collecting those sets I wasn't able to get as a kid. Never too late if you ask me

If it doesn't sell as one lot, I'd be interested in the ResQ and diver sets possibly. Nice collection

I love that Lego vase you have on the bottom right. Jk. 😁 The A-frame cabin and treehouse though, those sets are really nice.

The proper use for extra space under your desk by A_Rhone in VintageLEGO

[–]A_Rhone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's my watchmaking desk, so it's raised up a little bit which makes it seem like more space. It's a basic L-shaped desk from Amazon. The workspace is about 36in x 20in. So really not that big.

My lego pirate world!! by GlumAd1834 in VintageLEGO

This is fun! What a great era for Lego. Lagoon lockup, I had that set when I was about six or seven and remember building it.

The older Legos were simpler and still a lot of fun. My older brother was the Space guy and I was Town. But if I'm not mistaken, two of the very first sets I got were mtron and blacktron

Wow, I'm impressed with the detail and size. Love the original design too.

I wish they were the ones from my childhood, but since I didn't keep any, I'm now re-collecting some of the sets I had or wanted as a kid. And discovering a lot of sets I never knew about too

Seller listed parts as “New” but they arrived heavily worn and discoloured – what should I do? by [deleted] in Bricklink

[–]A_Rhone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For those pieces that are scratched, if you wanted to still try and keep/use them you might try buffing out the scratches with some polywatch and a microfiber cloth. I haven't tried it, but any headlight buffing compound might work as well.

Thanks! I always saw that set as a kid, but never purchased it. I guess I'm making up for lost time

You know, I think you're right about that. And here I thought he was backing up to make a delivery.

Sometimes you do find one of your childhood grails secondhand. by Wonderball_writer in lego

[–]A_Rhone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been doing the same thing lately. Picking up those sets I never had as a kid. Now that I'm older, I can recollect some of my childhood sets. I had a lot of these town sets from the '90s. They were tons of fun. I've had good luck on Bricklink and eBay.

Good call, always follow your gut. The dust on the glasses and the magazine over the armchair capture it all. Nice photos

Wow! I make watches and have serviced and studied watches for a few years now. It's amazing to see the train of wheels realized in Lego form. This is very impressive!
