  What's your: Desert Island Set?
 
If you were stranded on a desert island, and could only take one set with you, which set would it be and why? Mine might have to be 6420 - Mail Carrier, I'd always have mail, and a bicycle. :) Jennifer (21 years ago, 11-Feb-03, to lugnet.general) ! 
 
  Re: What's your: Desert Island Set?
 
(...) Great topic! I think I would take 6387 Coastal Rescue Base or 6342 Beach Rescue Chopper -- so I could get off the desert island. :) -Kevin (21 years ago, 11-Feb-03, to lugnet.general)

  Re: What's your: Desert Island Set?
 
(...) No brainer here! I'd have to have set 6286 "Skulls Eye Schooner"! Then the island would be either a base for my pirating operations or a place to bury the booty (oops, that would be a secret)! ARRGGHH! ahoy mates, Tom (21 years ago, 11-Feb-03, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: What's your: Desert Island Set?
 
(...) Assuming the island would be in the tropics, the set I'd choose would be #6595 Surf Shack (for obvious reasons). BUT if it were an island in a more "harsh" environment, perhaps it might be nice to take a LEGO house with me - I'm thinking #6372 (...) (21 years ago, 11-Feb-03, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: What's your: Desert Island Set?
 
(...) Any set that included a catalogue that would allow me to order more Lego! (I imagine those planes flying by dropping old wooden crates with the Lego Logo stamped on them.) :) Good thread, and some very great responses so far! Cheers, -Hendo (21 years ago, 11-Feb-03, to lugnet.general)

Perhaps: (URL) has a good selection of parts, (...) (21 years ago, 11-Feb-03, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: What's your: Desert Island Set?
 
I'd go with 5590 or 5591 - I could get home or get around the island, whichever one I liked. PS - I'd prefer an Arctic desert island.... Paul Sinasohn LUGNET #115 BAYLUG (21 years ago, 11-Feb-03, to lugnet.general)
