February 9, 201312 yr With all the what you bought, built or sold today threads, I thought it might be a fun idea to start a new thread about which set you prize the most in your collection? I'm not talking about the one that has the most monetary value, but the one set that you wouldn't part from even if you had to choose between it and your own arm!It can be any set of any theme, regardless of size or price.To make it a tad more difficult, try to keep it one and single only set.For me, even though I don't own that many sets, I'm very proud to currently own an unopened UCS Batmobile 7784 that I managed to get a few months back for a very decent price. Haven't gotten around to build it yet but I love the way that thing looks!
February 9, 201312 yr 10039 Black Falcon's Fortress. So happy they reissued it. The old lego castle were the best. if only i was born in the 70s or 80s...
February 9, 201312 yr I don't have a lot of older sets but so far it has to be Destiny's Bounty at $35.00. I have a ton I like for the future but since we are only allowed to name one...:)
February 9, 201312 yr That one is easy. Every set I kept as a kid. With special consideration going to my 6285 Black Seas Barracuda.
February 9, 201312 yr This is going to sound really lame, but I like the stuff my son makes over any set I have displayed or in a box. As a kid, I would have to say my King's Castle was my favorite.
February 9, 201312 yr Author That one is easy. Every set I kept as a kid. With special consideration going to my 6285 Black Seas Barracuda. Wow that's gotta be a huge collection!
February 9, 201312 yr My favorite is the Taj Mahal. My son built it when he was 6 1/2. It took him 2 months and two days. I just sorted the pieces for him. It is now a part of our living room.
February 9, 201312 yr Dang, that's a toughie. I've kept every set in my entire life. From a monetary standpoint, all the NINJAGO I have but not built yet are pretty high, like "Garmadons Dark Fortress" and "Ice Dragon Attack". For sake of nostaglia, "Galactic Chief" from the second series of SPACE POLICE was one that I 'swooshed' the bejeezus out of. Heh heh. I love all my LEGO and those were my best memories as a child, kinda difficult to just pick one.
February 9, 201312 yr My pride is the original Death Star but a special shout out for my entire western theme with fort legoredo and the original batman theme sets.
February 9, 201312 yr My pride is the original Death Star but a special shout out for my entire western theme with fort legoredo and the original batman theme sets. I loved the entire western theme from the mid 90s. I wish I could find my old western sets!!
February 10, 201312 yr My original Galaxy Explorer. I have all the pieces, moon base plate and instruction manual. Sadly, no box. This was one of the first sets I ever received as a kid and was the set that caused me to fall in love with lego. Awesome memories. http://www.brickset.com/detail/?set=497-1
February 11, 201312 yr I would say all my classic space sets are special, but if I had to pick the one I played with the most as a kid, that would be the Galaxy Commander. Ahead of its time I think...
February 14, 201312 yr 6081 Kings Mountain Fortress. The pride of my collection when I was a kid and after my wife, kids and photos the next thing I would rescue from my burning house ;-)
March 16, 201312 yr 6081 Kings Mountain Fortress. The pride of my collection when I was a kid and after my wife, kids and photos the next thing I would rescue from my burning house ;-) That's a pretty sweet set. I would say it's my 7140 X-Wing. I got this set before the prequels were released. Such an awesome ship at the time. Still have it in my collection today in complete condition out of the box for display
March 19, 201312 yr It's a tie between my Taj Mahal, Eiffel Tower, and Statue Of LibertyThat's quite an impressive collection you have there, legopocalypse! I am extremely envious!
