I got it half year ago for €230 because I always wanted it. Unfortunately I can’t build it,because I don’t have a place for it. Should I better keep it or sell it ?

First photo is a lot of the Insectoids, but the second is all the sets I have. I only have a few small more sets to get before I master the theme. Then it’s onto finishing the UFO theme.

Hi!! Just wanted to share a MOC made base on set 6259. Added the island baseplate, a palm tree and and other things haha.

The sets with boxes came from my uncle, although I basically just got the box/instructions and spent a couple years sourcing parts. The others are sets Ive gotten in bulk lots and then pieced back together.

Does anybody have some of these? I got them from my dad in a really good condition. Bricks are old and many of them aren't stackable anymore bit I love their design.

Set 145 is from 1974, 455 is from 1975, and 722 is from 1980.

I noticed this railway figure from a recent post- the worker seems to have a white shirt with safety vest.
However according to Bricklink there were only ever blue shirted railway workers.

Any idea if this is a real figure?

(Note- it could be a reflection making the shirt look white)

Got this one in a big lot recently. I’m still on the hunt for the Air Canada Jet Plane and so far I’ve gotten a few bits and pieces from another lot.

For this project, I used two large, rare, out of print original LEGO baseplates from the early days, along with vintage parts, to expand and heavily customize the set; . As always, I adapted, filled, and upgraded the interior environment in my own personal style; . I continued to focus on (adjusting contrasting colors, modifying, and adding small elements) . to highlight the interconnectedness of each set in my moc and capture the charming fairy tale aesthetic of the last century as much as possible; . to use the basic 8-color palette as much as possible to enhance the vintage, nostalgic feel; . to recreate the style of LEGO from the 1980s to the 1990s;

A must stop at “It’s a Block Party”. I was able to get parts to complete my Star Wars mini figs without worrying about eBay or bricklink. They were super helpful and have an amazing collection. It’s amuseum. Honestly I love help small businesses and this one is a gem. Trust in the Lego collecting world is priceless.
