| (...) Ooh thanks for pointing out this gallery, nice. Unfortunately all these were before my time. Now to the point of this post: Is it just me, or do the blues in those renders seem really off? Actually, now that I look closer, a lot of the colors (...) (20 years ago, 16-Dec-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

The first set that I'm positive I personally owned (as opposed to one of my brothers) is this one: (URL) For space, I think I had 3 or 4 of (...) (20 years ago, 16-Dec-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) (URL) Sweet, sweet memories. Actually, looking back, I think I had two. One had the excavator arm broken, I guess that since I liked it so much it was replaced. If I remember rightly, I wasn't actually given actual ownership of it, I was just (...) (20 years ago, 16-Dec-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) I know I (URL) already posted,> but I just wanted to say thanks to Eric and thanks to Koyan. It's great to see those sets so pristine and unchewed. (are there any Ldraw parts with teeth marks?) Anyway, I had an idea: This thread could double (...) (20 years ago, 16-Dec-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Thanks everyone, it was great to read about your memories. When I was younger, my mother and father were seperated. Since I moved to California with my father, my younger brother and I sometimes did not see my mother for long periods of time. (...) (20 years ago, 17-Dec-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Hmmm. My mom says that my first set was either a duplo or a basic bricks pack with the standard red/yellow/blue bricks in it. The first set I DISTINCLTY remember having was one of the briefcase sets. My first space set was probably the spyrius (...) (20 years ago, 17-Dec-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) (URL) This was my first set. I love the rotating control/tracking platform in its elegant simplicity. It totally sucked me in. I bought another one before I bought a different Lego space set.

The brochure that came in the box led to much badgering of my parents, which in turn led to this under the tree, Christmas '79: (...) (20 years ago, 20-Dec-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
