Very cool topic dude!
Well my focus is mainly on technic but I also like pirates and modle team. It's
really hard for me to pick a year. In 1988 there was the 8865 (test car) which
was great. In 1993 the skulls eye scooner (is that even spelled right?) and
awsome 8868 (air tech claw rig) was about. In 1994 there was outstanding 8880
(supercar) and a nice selection of town and model team sets were still about.
And in 1996 there was the amazing 8480 (space shuttle) and modle team black cat.

After browsing the Brickshelf catalogs, I'd have to say 1980. Second batch of models for Technic (...) (21 years ago, 25-Feb-03, to lugnet.general) !
