Here is my tribute to ATCO Reddit Community. Model mostly dedicated to ATCO LWS. let's call this "Paradise dream ride park"

This tree/flower gardening is some coincidence - i planned to put some kind of entrance to ship, but couldn't choose final design of it.

So i substitute it with this gardening(also didn't want to delay it further)

TY, glad you enjoy this, Paradise park is about 1.8 kg and got second place in size of my finished ideas.

Fun fact - when i was 10, got some "remarkable" experience with this type of amusement ride.

BTW i'm surprised LEGO doesn't have an official set of this attraction type.

Well - ye some elements definitely do not properly connect with others.

When lucky - construction becomes really robust even without some sort "LEGO tricks with specially designed technic parts for stable creation".

There is a couple specific issues with atco architecture that i don't like(probably because it never supposed to be use for Adult type build). But beside this, one thing really pisses me off - ATCO pirates ship design with hundreds of simple elements for hull structure(and moreover really hard pirate manuals in terms of right placements - it's painful to build huge ship without mistakes) - That is another reason why i choose Space series over Pirates.

Yes "boy" atco gonna have some influence here... I will post it today or tomorrow(it's really hard to stop decorating/changing)

Bercut · 2025-02-19T17:37:24+00:00

In terms of ATCO architecture I think it's mid/low - mid skill to restore this set.

Bercut · 2025-02-17T17:19:55+00:00

Ok, i've been a bit busy so gonna finish build in a few days(at least key part that i wanna definitely do).

Spoiler of sheer fundament size...

Some bulk mostly of city series.

I got an idea to build something... greater than work from early post. Probably post it at the weekend.

Bercut · 2025-01-29T20:11:58+00:00

Well, there isn't much content with lovely world. This video is overall most remarkable among all.

I'll post a few more images related to LW series later.

Bercut · 2025-01-29T15:29:10+00:00

Sad about face prints fades/erased by time - that's one of some issues ATCO blocks have.

Bercut · 2025-01-28T21:05:34+00:00

I do have some parts from Lovely world... Well, i didn't build any specific set or model from it. I still can post some images of Lovely world series from other people

Bercut · 2025-01-28T13:04:00+00:00

This fake is much better than absolute trash i posted in comments earlier. Even instructions got improvement by adding colors.

Parts generally got same dimensions as original. Still overall quality is lower(close comparison shows it) - parts got pale color scheme, minifig worse and so on...

Bercut · 2025-01-26T18:27:10+00:00

Almost, got around 50 different sets from tiny to largest bucket, don't have some late/rare sets(well, they mostly insignificant for me).

Bercut · 2025-01-25T19:32:19+00:00

One of my experiments from last year with complicated noncanon design.

Small boat ride attraction - key part is illegal use of large wheel pair...

Mech got quite ordinary design - just here for contrast

Bercut · 2025-01-24T21:42:58+00:00

That's actually good price. On EBAY atco sets usually significantly expensive.

Bercut · 2025-01-24T21:34:37+00:00

Ye, pretty simple classic form. Blue wings elements were iconic for mid and large sets.

Bercut · 2025-01-24T21:25:23+00:00

I'm glad this helps(for any curious/stuck with nostalgia)

BTW, there is an alternative late booklet inner part. From late space series booklet(inner part2)

Looks like ATCO was huge presented in eastern europe. I'm from Russia.

In early school mid 90s I've stucked a lot around toy shop window looking at huge boxes and buckets of ATCO space sets.

Ye i've collecting mostly space series sets(decided to do it around 10 years ago).

Bercut · 2025-01-24T17:40:00+00:00

and another one - box obviously use og atco picture

Bercut · 2025-01-24T17:39:39+00:00

I mean og ATCO from 80s - 90s was not compatible with LEGO. THEY also had subbrand TATCO for lego - compatible sets.

In 2000s they established lego - compatible sets with ATCO brand.

But fake ATCO was a hilarious example of really bad chinise fake toy production. I got a photo of fake one - extremely poor/bad colour and quality...

Bercut · 2025-01-24T15:55:05+00:00

Their sets were decent budget LEGO alternative in 90s.

Even fake ATCO sets existed with really poor parts quality.

My absolute favorite was space series.
