My all time favorite LEGO chapter in my CD (Chapter 10)... much expanded in the
LEGO DVD/download.... was the Wooden Box sets chapter (now Chapter 15 in the
DVD/download).
I have pictured about 80 or so wooden box sets... about double what TLG has in
their Billund Archives, and about 10 times what anyone else has in their online
databases. For the DVD/download... I found a lot of new items such as the
largest LEGO box (a USA/Samsonite HUGE institutional wooden box) ever produced
by TLG... with 3,250 pieces... produced from 1963-65 for USA/Canada by
Samsonite. Also found rare Norwegian and Danish PAB boxes from 1950-55.
The wooden box set chapter is my all time favorite chapter... since no one else
comes close to knowing the "whole story" on these 1957-78 unique sets.... ;-)
And the strangest thing about these boxes... they almost never had a set number
on the box... only on a "Contents List" that came with the set... and once those
are lost... you have no idea what you have!
Here's a 17 box "Whitman Sampler" for Chapter 15....

P.S. And here's the oldest LEGO basic sets (1949-53)... don't have this in the
older CDs... but finally got the images from my collector friends...

Thank you.
That download site is amazing, it delivered as fast as my ISP download speed
could take it. I have a nice fast download speed, and the file downloaded in
just 1 minute and 40 seconds.
I have had a quick skim through a couple of sections of the guide, and look
forward to having a proper read later.
Really glad you’ll get the house back!

As I've said, the nice thing about having the new DVD download is that future
updates will be free...
I've been getting some recent LEGO treasure images from TLG Archives and
elsewhere...
For example... the earliest retailer LEGO box is this one that dates to 1954-56
(Denmark only) that was for the earliest Automatic Binding Bricks windows/doors
(1949-56) and the new LEGO Mursten tall classic windows/doors. This retailer
box image (unknown in any private collection) was shared by the LEGO Archives
folks, who had to do some digging to find it when I inquired about how old LEGO
windows/doors were stored. They finally found this LEGO beauty... it would
probably go for 2000-3000 Euros (or more!) if one ever came up for auction...

Or some of the wonderful colors that windows came in back in the mid 1950s (for
30 years afterwards TLG made us choose mainly between red and white!!)...

Or did you ever wonder about LEGO sets of Iceland? It seems that a Tuberculosis
Sanitarium provided labor for putting together sets in that country in the 1950s
and 1960s...
http://www.flickr.com/photos/82930629@N08/8101938526/
And that LEGO sets and spare parts packs had the name of the Sanitarium on the
boxes....

Lots of new items never before seen (some of these items were new to the LEGO
Archives as well!!)... that will be in future updates to the LEGO DVD
download... which will be free to current purchasers... only $29.95 total...
that's 23 Euros... or GBP 18.71... or CAN $29.75... or AUD $29.00.
No additional fees and ZERO customs! (Funny how that works... but the countries
of the world haven't figured out how to apply customs to downloads... maybe if
they did so many IT jobs wouldn't end up in India!)

or
http://www.ebay.com/itm/150915064652?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
Download only takes 2-20 minutes to get all 688MB (about 2/3 of a Gigabyte)...
that's 73 chapters and 4 appendices... with all future updates (about every 6
months) free to current purchasers!
Gary Istok
P.S. No Shipping or Customs Fees! Plus I'm putting together and adding new
chapters... one on the history and evolution of LEGO figures from the 1950s HO
Scale figs to the development of the minifigs!
