Hello everyone,

Alright, all you out there that know your 80s sets, help me! In my leftover
brick box, I have lots of bricks that seem like they should be in a special
set (ie NOT a basic set)... Some are rare/unique pieces, while other times
it's just a normal piece that I have in an unusual quantity. For crazy
pieces, there are links to pictures of them for reference.  I have looked at
Pause at pretty much everything, but I still have stuff that's unidentified.
(I did however, recently find out I own a Yellow Castle, Shuttlecraft, and
Walking Astro Grappler)  Many of the pieces are obviously Classic Space
stuff, but I can't seem to find which sets they are probably from.  I
suspect I have some sort of hospital set, but I looked through all the ones
on pause and none seemed to match..

Thanks a LOT for even getting this far... If you have any guidance as to
what sets to get instructions for and try to build, email me

P.S.  I have TONS of every colour plate/brick/other fairly common pieces, so
there's likely to be remnants of many sets there.

Eric, It looks like you have some Lego that goes as far back as the 1960's. The 4x4 yellow corner brick was an 1960's item that has been discontinued for over 30 years. The 1x6 & 1x8 white signs are probably from a European parts pack (it may be (...) (25 years ago, 2-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)
