Just joined - just ordered a couple of Lego advent calendars from Amazon and my interest in Lego was piqued again.

 

I have several models in the attic from the late 60's (unboxed - mum made me throw the boxes away !!) complete with instructions etc

 

 

Loved putting them together back in the day and I always looked forwards to my Granddad going on holiday as I always got a Lego model when he returned.

 

My son wasn't really all that interested in Lego (he's 15 now) so I never really bothered with it either.  However, we got him a Lego advent calendar last year and he loved it.  Therefore, just ordered one each for my wife and I

Welcome to Brickpicker.

Welcome! Beautiful Lego from the 60's, I'd never seen anyone face to face...

 

Just like you, my mom threw the boxes away! If only I had a time machine......

Welcome, fellow Brit.  I had the exact same set with low loader and crane.  Ah... the good old days of "proper" Lego!

Welcome! :-)

Thanks to everyone for the welcome(s) - I'll have to get the sets down from the attic, make them up and take pictures.  I have other sets up there as well - a black cab, a police station and loads of others.  Should be interesting reliving the memories

Welcome to the site, TravellingMan.

Nice sets.  Welcome.

Welcome!!

Hi TravellingMan! Enjoy the site!

Welcome to BrickPicker. Nice collection!

Hi again - just got my sets down from the attic and have realised that a lot of them are boxed !!  Woop !!  I've also come across a set which I can't add to my Brickfolio - set 315 - European Taxi 

 

 

I've also, sadly, realised that some sets have one or 2 pieces missing :-(

Hi,

I am not from Britain, but I live here

If you have bits missing from those sets, you should be able to source them relatively easily as most parts back then were pretty standard.

Hi CNH1974 - Yes - I didn't realise that you could purchase individual brick packs until yesterday.  I'll have to go through the sets and make a note of what's missing.  I don't think I have any  past 1974 and this was waaaayy before Lego got complicated !!

 

Thanks for your reply

No problem. I buy bulk lots and sell the sets off separately. It's. been reasonably profitable. But I have ended up with about 9kg of spare bricks, new and old in varying condition. So I might have what you need, send me a message with your requirements.

I sold about 250g of vintage wheels last week, for a whole 99p . Someone got a bargain.

Welcome!
