I'm not sure there was a kid back in the 70s or 80s that never played with legos. Most of the big lego boxes used to haunt my dreams after a visit to the local toy shop when I was little.. So, it was nice to find this amazing video of a secret stash where all lego productions ever made can be found in their boxes!!

Amazing! Although, I would expect nothing less. I expect that N have a similar room of all their games, somewhere. Lego is still big business amongst collectors. I remember finding a site that holds scans of all, or most, of the instruction manuals, so you can re-build those old models of your childhood, as long as your kids have the right bricks! I forget the site but I have it bookmarked somewhere. If you don't have the right bricks, you can even buy single bricks on the net. Brick LinkAndy Andy

I know which site you mean Andy but I can't find it now. Lego offers a similar service in their site here: us.service.lego.com/en-US/BuildingInstructions/default.aspx .You can even buy bricks from them although I guess they won't come cheap!! Ebay is a better bet in terms of prices. They have released some great stuff lately and I've bought a couple boxes (haven't gotten around to build them yet though): These are the ones I'm after now: Michael

Yes, it's amazing (and very expensive!!). It was a limited release and you could only order it from Lego directly. Thankfully there are still a few of them in Ebay, shame that most sellers are located in the US and most of the european ones won't ship outside their country!! More about it here: shop.lego.com/product/?p=10188&LangId=2057&ShipTo=USAnd how about the millenium falcon? Michael

Those 2 photos of the MF are not the same model, surely. Look at the detail on the front of the model, compared to the box. The bottom one is obviously the one aimed at adults Andy

Ah yes Andy, you're right.. they seem slightly different. I've searched around a bit and found this box: I think adults can appreciate toys better! lol! ;D Michael

Well, I don't think anyone can rightly describe these as a toy. They are model kits. They just happen to share the same components as some 'kits' which are aimed at children and sold in toy shops Lego has got to be the best 'toy' ever invented. Anyone from 6 months old to 100 years can, and do, enjoy building with it. Don't become a Lego collector, eh? How many kits are there to collect?! Andy

Erm, I don't know yet, I think I'll build the airport since it's related to my work but I have to find the space, these airplanes are huuuge!! Collecting the boxes eh? Hmm.. First you'll need a warehouse (lol). Then you'll need a million euros and eternal patience to find the rarest ones! ;D There are nearly 9000 different boxes!!! Michael

I already deleted a post from that guy which was obviously spam. This one looked like it fitted the thread better, at least he put in some effort, so I thought I'd leave it up to Mike's discretion. I still think he's a spammer.
edit: I just googled the link and he's spamming forums all over the place. I've removed the link so he can't use us for such purposes. Up to you if you want to leave the post, Mike.
Andy.
