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.
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. 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 the same way […]
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 […]
All the LEGO from my siblings and I have been stored in one big pile, but as the kids of the family are getting too old for LEGO, the pile has landed in my lap. This weekend I started sorting them with the aim to see what I can build out of what is left. […]
