Hmmm... Here is the list of MOL (my own legends):

856, 8855, 8859, 8860, 8862, 8868, 8880, 8448, 8460, and 8480

and honorable mentions:

855, 8856, 8422, 8459, 8479

But 8422, 8448, 8459, 8460, 8479 and 8480 are quite new to became a
legend, so we can eliminate them. We can also eliminate the honorable
mentions to reduce the pool, so the left are:

856, 8855, 8859, 8860, 8862, 8868, 8880

I already own 8860, 8862, and 8880, so my personal choice of candidates
are :

856, 8855, 8859, 8868

8855 has a unique propellor, 8868 has an older type 9V motor, 8859 has
older engine cylinders (or engine squares..:-) which probably hard to
manufacture again. So my personal choice and bet of a Lego Legend is:

856

Am I boring or what?..:)

Selçuk

PS. If they manage to manufacture either old 9V motor or the 8855
propellor, I of course prefer both 8855 and 8868 over 856.

All these numbers are very confusing, apart from 8462 I don't know the
numbers of any sets and can't be arsed to look them up. Can't people use the
proper names?

Steve

At least for me the numbers are easier. First of all that's the way I think
about a set: I think: 853,8860,8865,8880,8448 and not: PKW, Auto Chassis, Test
Car, Super Car, Super Car Mk II.

The name could be very confusing - what's the difference between
Crane Truck (<set:8446>), Mobile Crane (<set:8460>), Mobile Crane (<set:955>)
and Power Crane (<set:8854>),  and that's not even counting the non Technic
sets.

Also, given the set number it's a lot easier to search for the set than with
the name.

The best way of course is to use the syntax: <set:xxxx> or even <set:xxxx name
of set>  (I used two lines so that the syntax will appear in full and not like
that: name of set )
