LEGO SYSTEM 1807 – Opening Santa Claus and Sleigh polybag (from 1995)

As i build up my LEGO Winter Village for 2024, I found this old, still sealed, Christmas polybag from 1995 with what is probably one of the first minifig santas. He uses a pirate bandana as a hat and wizards beard as santa beard! Fun little build.

LEGO – Modified 675 Snack Bar (1979)

I really like set 675 Snack Bar. It’s a nice modest classic town set with so much storytelling potential. I modified it for my 2023 winter moc by adding additional floors. And when I recreated the set post-christmas, I decided to modify it a little bit but adding a small rooftop terrace.

So… my LEGO Retro Winter MOC is complete! I will add additional elements from the LEGO advent calendar as I open the lips, but here is the LEGO Retro Winter Village as it is. This was super fun project. I’ve used some of the old LEGO sets I’ve spend the year recreating from my siblings […]

Winter MOC V2 using 376: Town House with Garden (1978), 6362: Post Office (1982) and 675: Snack Bar (1979)

As mentioned in my previous winter moc post, I want a Lego winter village, but I don’t want to pay for it. So I am building one using existing retro sets I have from my childhood. However, I did find a cheap set 21058: Great Pyramid of Giza, which I bought to get all the […]

Winter MOC using 376: Town House with Garden (1978)

I like the LEGO Winter range but somehow buying them seems like a waste of money as they would only be on display during Christmas. So instead, I decided to make my own using only bricks I already had. I decided to use half of my 376: Town House with Garden from 1978 and I […]

LEGO – Bought a box of mixed bricks and these are the sets I was able to put together (’71-’85)

So I bought a bag of mixed LEGO as I spotted a few Space Classic bits I needed for a project. When I got the box, it became clear there were more useful bits and the more I sorted the bricks, the more it became clear there were full sets, so I started putting them […]

LEGO – Store finds: 6801: Space Scooter, 6650: Fire and Rescue Van, and 1562: Pepsi Promo

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 […]
