Weird - my recurring LEGO dream is very similar. I am in a Toys R Us • (old-style
with long aisles), and I find a bunch of 80s-era sets (in the yellow • boxes) that
never existed.

Exactly!  That's what I meant by "Golden Age" box art.  That big yellow box
with the simple but always beautifully uncluttered photograph of the set.

A few years ago I was lucky enough to come across a near mint condition box
(with the set of course) for #1682 Space Shuttle.  I've had the box
displayed on my shelf ever since.  I think it's fantastic that the Designer
sets have been packaged in this way.  There's an immediate, totally warm and
fuzzy feeling of nostalgia I get when I see those big yellow boxes.
Sometimes when I see them I feel like I'm only fwee and a haff yeaws owd!

*sniff*   Memmmoriesssss!

Large Forestmen and Black Falcons sets are the most common "finds". (...) (20 years ago, 11-Nov-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)
