I had all those blue & Grey Space sets!!!! - Tottaly Cool!

YEAH! The old space sets were the BOMB!

I remember buying it way back when and it was like $49 or something and I remember thinking that was a FORTUNE!

Hell I can't buy dinner for that much in Boston these days.

Holy crap those old space sets were my life when I was 7. I would spend hours playing with them. When he says in the video I am getting emotional now, I got chills looking at that box. I am emotional now, too.

This makes me happy.

Ahhh... from back when you could build whatever you wanted with the bricks they gave you. Those space ones must've been just before my time. I was into the trains.

Is it weird that I want to destroy all those with my lego lightsaber?

I've been playing Lego Star Wars too much!

But seriously, I could lose myself in that place!

OMG they showed the Galaxy Explorer at 00:45. I stared at the picture of it in my LEGO catalog for months and then got it for Christmas of '87 I think. Nostalgia trip!

oh, man those eighties sets were the best
that pirate ship was the first shitty one and it started the trend of specialized parts that were completely useless for anything but the model on the box
the primary models always existed in my use the whole of three days until i smashed it to pieces for something cooler i came up with

brings back memories, up vote for the song as well,

Oop's forgot to vote... Good thing I came back

If I was a burglar, and they cleared out that room, and placed a pallet of gold bars instead... I would keep looking.

I wonder if those Lego sets are worth their weight in gold. If you actually replaced that VOLUME with gold bars, then of course the gold would be stupidly more valuable. But since the sets are pretty lightweight, hmm...

You're stupid, I'd take the gold bars

Lego *is* god damned expensive, but the gold would probably be easier to get rid of on the black market than 19.32 tons of Lego

My favorite was mixing the space and pirate sets!

I remember wanting that space monorail set sooo much!

Thank you for your kind words, Cpt. Obvious!

I still have the pirate ship shown in this video!!! YES!

I have the space ship and Black Falcon's Fortress sets. It was alot of fun. My friends and I, when we were young, created a little game and laid seige to each other's castles. We had moats, dragons, jousting, the works. Yeah, we were a pretty creatibe bunch back then.

The thing I don't like about Legos is that they hurt when you stick them in your ass.

I had several of the 80's stuff. I had the moonbuggy and the space shuttle. I also had a castle set I remember but I'm not sure if it was the ones in the video.

Upvote for tantrum reference.

Also I had like all the medieval lego's *sigh* this makes me miss being a kid.

Seriously? This isn't on here already... colour me dumbfounded.

Anyway, what an amazing treasure trove.

And for my bit of Lego trivia... well, my mum is a bit of a hoarder, and it was my son's 5th birthday last year, and for that she gave him a lego set... a 35 year old lego set, mint in box, never opened!

Sure... we could have kept it in the box, and sold it or something, but dang it, it's a toy and is meant to be played with, so he does. We've kept the box and instructions stored away... but man.

Oh... and she has more stashed away

And Micro Machines from 20 years ago

And original release star wars figures

I was expecting a little world full of Lego men come to life, quietly going about their business constructing every set in history.

I'm slightly disappointed.

Wow, just wow, spoco - my first Lego possession was that exact same set And yeah, completely agree with all of the above, what a nostalgia trip
