 | | Canada's Largest LEGO Sets
|
| OK, I'm not referring to the mega-sets of the last dozen years, such as the Taj Mahal or the Death Star... but to 20th Century Sets. These sets are so rare, that they are likely unknown to all Canadian (and American) LEGO collectors. The sets are (...) (12 years ago, 30-Nov-12, to lugnet.loc.ca)

| | Re: Canada's Largest LEGO Sets
|
| One of the Canadian posters over on Eurobricks (where I posted this as well)... questioned me about a 7100 Educational set in Canada in the late 1970s. In the 1960s and 1970s TLG often reused the set numbers... sometimes 3 times. And from circa (...) (12 years ago, 3-Dec-12, to lugnet.loc.ca)

| | The oldest known LEGO bricks set of 1949??
|
| I had always been looking for the very first 1949 LEGO sets with plastic bricks, but the closest I ever got to was circa 1950... a year after the 1949 introduction of the LEGO brick (known as Automatic Binding Bricks until 1953). My German collector (...) (12 years ago, 26-Dec-12, to lugnet.general)
