this is really my first attempt at building something custom for the Space Baby. It’s basically a space ship with a “side car” for the baby, that can detach and fly off on its own.

The two sets I remember the most from when I was a kid was 6970: Beta I Command Base and 487: Space Cruiser. And I also remember really wanting the 497: Galaxy Explorer, but it was too expensive so I got the 487, which I really liked too. But what I don’t remember is that […]
This set was one of the first LEGO set with new faces rather than the standard face, might even have been the first one. Not sure what to do with these as it’s mainly classic space and classic castle I’m putting together, but they are fun to have. They are missing a few things most […]
Following the LEGO family set, I’ve been able to put together some more maxi figure sets from the 70s. Not sure what to do with these as they have no emotional value for me, but they were a fun LEGO archeological project. 213: Airplane Ride 276-1: Doctor’s Office This one is missing a 2×1 white […]
When I started digging through my old LEGO, I had hoped to be able to build the two sets I remember the most: The 924 Space Cruiser and 6970 Beta-1 Command Base. Unfortunately, it quickly became clear I was missing too many pieces and I gave up on the space LEGO in the first instance […]
For some reason, of the LEGO Space I had as a kid, this one is the one I remember the most.

LEGO – 200-1: LEGO Family (1974)
Going through my old LEGO, I found bits for LEGO figures I didn’t recognise, so I did some Googling and found out this is a set from 1974, the year I was born! Where they come from, I have no idea, could be from one of my older half-sisters, but these are cool so they […]
These LEGO sets are not from my old pile of LEGO, but since they are old sets, I’ve included them anyway. 6801: Space Scooter (1981) I found this last year (2022) in a second-hand store. This was before I started my project with reassembling my old LEGO, but I had this Space Scooter as a […]
This was a fun build and I really like this little inn. It is missing a few things here and there, most notably the grey 2x1x3 angular part that makes up the chimney. I’ve used a black one I had instead, but will order a replacement. I only had one Crusader torso left, so I […]
This is the biggest retro LEGO set I have completed to date. I am sure this was my brothers originally. Even more troops Before the set was washed Combining Black Falcon’s Fortress with the Guarded Inn and with Black Monarch’s Ghost The Castle sets came with studs so they were meant to be linked together in […]
I think this one was my brother’s as I was more into the space sets. He would have been 6 (and I 10) so I am not 100% sure. This one is missing a few bits, most notably the round, grey shield. It is also missing a black battleaxe and his pants are missing the […]
Going through my old LEGO, I was able to build the Knight’s Procession from 1979. This might actually have been my only castle set as I preferred the space sets. I was surprised that I had all the parts except for one sword in the light grey colour. So one guard has a darker sword […]
