Hi Kerry,

Like most lego sets the early technic sets contained rare if not unique pieces.
Even if you had spares of these pieces, the sets are worth far more with
original instructions than with scans. These sets are collector items,
originality is most important. In some cases the original instructions are as
valuable as the pieces.

First generation technics (particularly the 3-digit kind) are worth big
bucks, whatever their size.

I've noticed this but find it curious because a lot of those earlier sets:

1. don't seem to require a lot of really specialised Technics parts
2. have instructions on-line on brickshelf

I've never actively pursued any of these sets because of this. I figure I
could build them from my parts collection and the brickbay instructions.
However, I've never actually got around to actually doing this, so maybe I'm
mistaken.

Comments?

Kerry
