Good News!
LEGO CD's are going out starting today!!
The CD is PC and MAC compatible, and chapters can be printed in either USA or
European paper formats.
Well sorry for the many delays, but the delays meant that the 47 chapters
promised Unofficial LEGO Sets/Parts Collectors Guide (1949-1980's) will now
contain 51 chapters. And eveyone who ordered one will get both the Dollar AND
Euro Insurance Price Guides (400 pages each, no separate editions).
Here's just the new additions from Version 1 (45 chapters) of the CD. The 6
extra chapters include....
A freebie appendix included in the new updated Version 2 CD shows the building
instructions and history for the largest LEGO house ever designed for sale, but
never put into production #717 Junior Constructor (1961):
http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=istokg&itemID=11565145
So you get this extra $4.95 value as a freebie.
One new LEGO CD chapter is devoted to the history of LEGO instructions
(1950-80's).
Another new chapter is devoted to the evolution of LEGO box designs, as well
as all the known LEGO boxes with Christiansen family members on the box tops.
Another new chapter has an image of yearly catalogs starting from 1950-65 (most
since 1965 can be found on Peeron). Most of these catalogs have never been seen
by most AFOLs.
Another new catalog is especially of interest to folks interested in rare LEGO
parts. That is a list (and images) of old LEGO parts that are country(s)
specific. This is broken down into LEGO elements only found in...
Denmark only.
Denmark, Norway, Sweden only.
Sweden only.
Norway only.
Denmark/Netherlands only.
Germany only.
Continental European only.
Continental European/Britain/Australia only.
Britain/Australia only.
Continental European/Britian/Australia/Canada only.
USA/Canada only.
USA only
Canada only.
Another chapter shows picture diagrams of all the LEGO parts sold each year from
1950-66.
Another chapter gives a country by country history of LEGO sales and sales
offices for each country.
And existing Chapter 2 has tripled in size with the addition of pictures and
information about LEGO model shops and toy fairs.
There are also over a hundred new pics of very rare LEGO items that most AFOLs
have never seen before. Some are valued into the thousands of dollars.
If you own Version 1 of my CD, and want to get the expanded and updated version
2... check it out here...
http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=istokg&itemID=10286301
If you are a new CD owner, please check it out here:

(Note: due to an upgrade to Windows 2006, the BUY IT NOW button may not work.
If not, contact me via the EMAIL button at the bottom of the site.)
And if you want to download some free sample chapters of the LEGO CD (with lots
of historic and rare photos), please check it out at this same website.
The difference between my CD and the new 800 page "official collectors guide"
book, is that I give over 1/4 million words of text descriptions of sets and
set variations, and parts and part variations information about LEGO.
If you are a current LEGO CD owner, go check out the updated chapters 2 and 32
to see how many new items have been included in the larger updated CD.
Cheers,
Gary Istok
