Man, I had some pieces from this series. Fucking rad. Would love to buy some old collections,but they are damn expensive.

>>18568175
The old System sets were so comfy to build and play with.

>>18568214
Oh fuck I remember this one. Cool AF and always wanted

>>18568073

>>18568073
I got this fucking set from Hamleighs in London on holiday. Holy shit that is a brutal hit of nostalgia.

>>18568300
I loved the chrome silver crystals and knives that came with the underwater sets. But the worst part is that the chrome foil would flake and peel off if you handled them too much.

Before my parents made a lot of money this was all they could afford to get me. Played with it for many hours.

The Adventurers sets were also great. There were also dinosaur and Mayan themed sets that I missed out on as a kid.
Perhaps I'll buy a couple with my crypto gains.

I have amazing memories of FAO Schwartz. I’m glad I got to bring my daughter there once before it closed forever. When you’re a kid nothing more magical than a special toy store.

UFO; one of my favorite sets. It had the best helmet and shoulder accessories.

>>18571063
Insectoids also had some neat sets. I love the blue and gray color scheme.

>>18571109
Where UFO sets were mostly spaceships, Insectoids was focused more on ground vehicles.
I think the two compliment each other nicely.

>>18571063

this stuff is way better than the branded shit like starwars and Harry Potter.

do you remember the Ninja sets too?

LEGO GHOST IS BEST

>>18570938

>>18571063
Best set

This one is probably one of the earliest sets I own.
Got it as a birthday gift from my grandparents. My guess is that they thought getting a set featuring two planes instead of just one was good value.

Sadly, I didn't own that many pirate-themed sets growing up. I think I was a generation too late for those.
I do fondly remember owning this one however. It featured a treasure chest with gold coins, and a sliding rock face revealing a spooky scary skeleton hiding inside.

I know that Ice Planet is a well-liked series among enthusiasts and nostalgiafags. The sets have an incredible blue and white color scheme contrasted by the bright orange clear panels.
This is one of the sets that I owned. Of course it came with the orange transparent chainsaw piece.

>>18573599
And this is the other set in this series I owned.
I remember combining the two at one stage. I don't think the newer sets encourage rebuilding and designing your own creations as much.

I never owned any of the Stingray sets, even though they look cool as hell. Maybe one day I might get one.

>>18568073

great set - also featured in lego racers

>>18571109

i had this, incredible

>LEGO will never make comfy and based original sets ever again
>Only bullshit licensed garbage like nu-Star Wars and fucking capeshit.

I haven’t bought any bitcoin yet but I just saw it plummeted on Robinhood, is now the time to buy?

>>18568412
God Bless anon. we were also poor and my brother and i also got the small ones. looking back and even today it's expensive af and i get sad and emotional thinking about how we were still loved even when our worlds were falling apart

This aint a lego board, lets get back to OP's question

>>18576505
No, there is too much volatility.
It’s not a bad time to get in if you’re going to hold it for a while.
That’s contingent on you WANTING to have your money held up in bitcoin, it could go down to 3,000 or up to 15,000. You gotta be in it for the long haul.

>>18570883
I had the Playmobil ghost.
Thanks for reminding me, so nostalgic

>>18568073
This was my all-time favorite lego set.

Nothing. Already priced in, mate.

>>18568073
I had this set it was so good!!! It had so many different hidden bits

damn, yesterday my mom gave me the pics of me as a kid playing with legos, and now this thread

>>18570883
Wolfpack lads were cool, the heraldry and art of Lego castle sets has always been some of Legos best, even the 2013 sets were bretty good

>>18568472
What's that guy gonna do with a 2nd knife fixed behind him? Wouldn't that be a tangle hazard? Fucking Lego get your shit together

It is what is is friend. It is what it is.

>>18579953
>>18580077
The old Lego sets had so much more going on in them.

>>18568073 came with a small campsite complete with a canvas tent, which I found really cool, and it wasn't even the main focus of the set.
When I played with it as a kid, I would pretend that all the characters were on a comfy camping trip, including all the villains.

>>18568073
I had this set.

Pic related, the GOAT

>>18582209
The toy only Chads played with.

On a /biz/ related note, buying and holding Lego sets with rare/unique elements can be pretty lucrative. But it can be painful to sell them lol I’m going to build the new raider AT ST soon, looking at these classics was overwhelming .

Had this time machine, as well as the huge robot with the green cockpit and wheel feet. Rebuilt them into a bohemian grove moloch statue.

Idk what bitcoins gonna do i wanna spend my trumpbux on the bottem

>>18568073
I fucking loved that one.

>>18570742
>I love how the rich bastard is always walking around with a pistol lol
lmao

Price won’t jump up immediately, but BTC will gradually go up and up and in 2020 expect YUGE price movement.

>>18568175
mfw I have this set but scattere and incomplete.

>>18568214
Designwise mid 90s is where lego sets peaked, then they somehow turned to shit almost instantly when all the old designers retired. The company almost went out of business and only managed to survive because of Bionicle and Star Wars licensing. But man everything from this era was a classic basically.

>>18569688
>>18568412
Same

>>18573319
This was one of my first Lego, thank you anon

>>18584522
One of the earliest sets I remember having was this one. I fucking loved those motorbikes, but eventually ended up breaking the handlebars on them.

>>18568073
I always wanted this one

>>18568073
This was my first <3 thanks for good memories anon, now I'm finnaly ready to end it :)

>>18568073
>>18568214
Comfy as fuck.

If we all want to go back, why can't we?

One of the most amazing gifts I've ever gotten was the animatronic motorized lego technic set from my dad one Christmas. I spend so many hours building stuff with the parts, and it sparked in me my first interest for engineering.

I can't even imagine how expensive this must have been holy shit

>>18584640
I still do have my lego in the attic, but it lost it's magic for me. Few years back I tried to take it out and play with it but it wasn't the same, didn't feel anything

>>18568432
I remember having a black and red spaceship type one, my dad helped me build it when I was tiny

Comfies thread YTD

>>18575411

Omg this whole thread is about LEGO’s and they asked about btc. I love you /biz/ you help with my depression so much

>>18569887

I don't want to go back because I wouldn't be able to bear losing it again, but I don't want to ever forget it. I still have every piece saved in a tub that won't be sold but maybe won't be opened either.

Now I'm here thinking if the drop in oil can cause ripples on the plastic production and toymaking companies.

>>18571063
always loved that neon green plastic they used

>>18568214
>>18568073

Holy crap my childhood favorite

>>18568214
I had this set. Fucking awesome.

>>18568432
Super old school , awesome. Is this lego shit today a psyop to distract 30 something year olds from the total collapse of society?

Jail break western one? Loved it

make way for the GOAT. I made so many friends jealous by owning this

>>18580089

Nintendo and PS1 era playing spyro Crash, playing with lego, watching cow and chicken, ren & stimpy ed edd and eddy.

Is there any chance this global crisis makes Lego prices nosedive? I need my fix of plastic crack but I cant justify spending the money

Anyone remember the Rockraiders PC game?

>>18569808
Bionicle was the shit

>>18587600
I have a patched version for Windows

>>18587738
Where?

>>18587762
Can't remember, got it from some forum several years back

>>18568073
I remember getting this exact lego set for my 9th birthday. I miss those days...

>>18587600

Still have the disc and manual

>>18568432
My brother worked a paper route so he could save up for this. Sent in his order form from the catalog in the mail. It was a cool set. The main body splits into two modules and there's a missile in one of them. They don't make sets like they used to, man.

>>18587712
Bionicles was kind of a scam. They were extremely expensive collectible figures, not even in the spirit of LEGO. There was minimal creativity and building freedom involved, and very few pieces that didn't really fit together with much else.

>>18587333
Yo this looks fucking sick.

>>18587213
Had this one. One of my favorites.

>>18583079
Weirdly remember having this one? Like a ghostly memory.

>>18571109
Always wanted this one. It rocked so fucking hard.

>>18568214
Friend of mine had this one. I was super jealous.

>>18571148
This one and the flying insectoid are sitting in my garage right now.

This thread is too comfy. Thank anons.

>>18570938
Still have this one laying around, it was my fav alongside the fat pirates ship.

I WANT TO GO BACK IN TIME REEEEEEEEE

>>18588514
Think of them more like legoified action figures. So they were more creative than the action figure alternative.

>>18587712
>the point and click adventure flash game
What a magical time it was.

>>18568073
Can we talk about the original thread subject?

>>18588514
As sets? Yeah. But just like the technic sets, I always thought the creations you made with the set(s) were more complex. It was good fun.
Once upon a time I used the Skopio set to make an exosuit for the yellow guy piloting it. It was awesome. So is that guy

>>18588608
The movies were good-ish. They're something of a meme when me and my siblings discuss them.

>>18589376
Although this was the set I had to buy because I was poor and wanted the figures

>>18589329
>>18589376
I didn't own any of those, but they definitely look better than the Ninjago stuff that nu-Lego is pushing.

>>18589013
AESTHETIC AS FUCK

I do like the fish decorations and the helmets onto which you can attach another accessory.

>>18589397
I just looked the Ninjago stuff up. Wtf is LEGO doing making this trash?

>>18589451
It's all about sensationalism nowadays

>>18585275
The video game was amazing. Except for the level where you were running out of air. Fuck that, god damn terrifying.

>>18585275
I did own this set at one stage. I think ended up using the drill bit as a weapon for a Bionicle later on.

>>18569887
yeah it was no black monarchs castle but its the most expensive one I got

>>18588514
There was a lot of customization, and there still is. You could get a new dude by mixing and matching any legs, arms, heads and weapons. The pieces were large but with a lot of holes for pins and axles, so you could add technic parts and keep expanding.
The hero factory system was the true scam, called CCBS. Instead of nice parts with customization, everything is short pieces with balls and clips, no technic holes. All you can do is different sizes of skeletons and add clip-on bland armor. They use it for everything constraction, including a poor bionicle reboot and star wars action figures.

>>18589811
That system was utter shit, even more shit than the ball and clip of post-metru nui era, the one that always broke.

remember the lego catalog, at the last page they had the most epic amatuer creations, huge fucking castles

>>18587213
That was the first set I ever received. I built it and tore it down to build it again three separate times. Loved that set. I still have most of the pieces, mixed in with my ~10,000 piece collection.

This thread is making me depressed. I never had any of these Lego sets. We had some random legos laying around but I was the youngest of 4 kids and just got all the hand me down shit. Shitty childhood now I’m even more depressed

>>18589013
This was the dark souls of Lego. I was like 5yo and couldn't finish it. Too many stupid parts everywhere and it was too big to play with it.

>>18575411
>he doesn't know

>>18589451
It's the moneymaker, the same retold tale of elemental warriors in a variety of scenarios with the main enemy wearing all black. It's not the pure ninja and samurai of old, it's power rangers in China. It started in 2011 as beyblades but now it's a flagship theme with a big production movie, tv series, and some of the largest and most detailed sets that aren't licensed. It's their excuse to release mechs and dragons and castles.

>current lego designers grew up with the same lego sets and videogames
>they constantly slip references to those in new sets
And at the same time disney strenghtens its grip on the company, with more expensive disney paraphernalia and starwars out the ass. But then there's lego angry birds, and lego minions, and lego mario, and the lego take at funko pops.

>>18587333
I HAVE THIS

I remember going into my old comic/LGS and seeing ZNAP sets on clearance for a few bucks each. Snagged up a couple just for the motors. The sets themselves weren't that bad(see pic), but still confusing why they'd try to take a bite out of knex of all things.

Unironically invest in this LEGO set when it comes out and hold onto them for a few years. There are retarded Star Warsfags keep buying LEGO Star Wars sets with exclusive minfigures in bulk to make massive battlefield MOCs, consequently driving up the prices.
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?id=120621#T=S&O={%22iconly%22:0}
The 501st Legion Clone Troopers set was the result of an online rally to get LEGO to make one, so imagine how valuable it will become in a few years.

>>18592118
hey, it is a good movie

>>18568214

Oh man I got this for christmas that year and I had dozens of hours of fun with it. I still have it.

Loved this one too.

>>18568412
I remember vividly wanting this set >>18568214 really fucking bad and I BEGGED my mom one time at a toy store to get me one. I was bawling and kicking like a child.

My mom was doing the usual chiding thing until she just sighed, her face crumbled as she said "I'm so sorry Anon, mommy should've gotten a better job but this other tiny set is all I can afford right now."

To this day, whenever I'm at Target or whatever and walking past a young mom looking at the Lego aisle with a kid in tow, I can't look. I keep remembering my mom's absolutely dejected face at the thought of not being able to buy her kid his favorite toy while trying to raise him in a shitty studio apartment. I fucking hate myself for making her feel that way.

>>18592629
It’s ok anon, you were a child. Tell your mommy that you love her once in a while.

>>18592629
Call your mom and tell her this story and how it makes you feel.

I'm sure she will appreciated hearing it.

>>18592530
>TFW based af sheriff dual wielding a rifle and revolver

>>18582209
They had that at my kindergarten I always wanted to play with it. Only got to play once before we moved to a different city.

All things considered, some modern sets aren't all that bad. As a child I would have had the time of my life with something like this.

>>18592629

Ninjago and Friends are both top 5 and have been since inception.

>>18587310
As much as I love this, I hate that it reminds me that I am not a kid anymore.

>>18589124
Whoa, bretty gud anon

I remember begging my dad for this. He didn't have enough cash on him (pre credit cards being widespread) and literally also ran into my grandma at the store who offered to buy it for me. Dad said no because I had enough Legos.

But there is no such thing when you're 8.

>>18580412
I got this for christmas and my dad helped me assemble it
comfy times

>>18591548
oh God I had that one too
I think Im gonna tear up, all those feels...

another one for my fellow legofags
a friend of mine had a giant massive collection we would go to his house and build huge space stations and shit
oh God these feels are too much Im gonna crai

>>18595807
Forestmens Hideout or something right? My cousin had that one.

Anyone else play with their underwater sets in the bath?

>>18582209
BASED this is what I had, fucking memories

>>18595915
Yeah. Just seemed natural.

Just found and old picture of me in some Christmas.

Good times. I can't remember the last time I smiled

>>18596008
You should smile because we love you fren

>>18595915
>play
surely you means played right haha

>>18596008
I vaguely remember owning this small set from that series.

>>18592953
This has the old-school vibe. Very kino.

So happy I have a son who will soon be able to play with this stuff and I can live vicariously through him.

>>18596066

They probably won’t like this stuff. They’ll watch YouTube celebrities play with toys instead

pic related was the most underrated series

>>18575411
>not being a Cobi Chad
lmaoing @ Legocucks

>>18589680
Oh fuck yeah this set is based

Can confirm. My son has like no interest in Legos. The little faggot likes sports and his tablet and shit instead.

ty for the memory frens - i too had these

>>18573688
Loved this one because it had a magnetic arm for the rocket. Pic related was my favorite set growing up

>>18568562
My dad got me this when I was 8a. I remember it was a friday evening and finished it that night. He came up to say goodnight and was so impressed with me for getting it done. "Wow you'd be a great architect anon!"

He died of sudden cardiac death out of the blue back near christmas. This thread has brought me all sorts of feelings i dont wanna feel. Fucksake.

I want my claws back, Jason

>>18591323
I have some remnants of this series, a little mobile sub that my nephew still plays with.

>>18602753
Stealing is not nice, anon.
Make sure to call your friend and tell him you're sorry.

All I have learned from this thread is that converting BTC to LEGO (physical) would be a decent long term play

The nostalgia of seeing these boxes brings an instant cure to my depression. Where did my life go so wrong

>>18580412
I got this from the fucking tooth fairy, when I lost my first tooth. Shit was fucking magical back then.

Knights Kingdom fucking sucks you nigger

>>18571109
This one is incredible

>>18580412
Unbelievably based

>>18592118
that's my favorite set by far.
also post your own creations. I've made a little DIY space setting with two factions some weeks ago... will deliver pics tomorrow morning if this thread is still up. rn the whole thing is in the kid's room and my daughter is asleep.

>>18568073
That was a great set

I should go upstairs and get out the Mummy and the truck I think I have them under the Bionicle

>>18587600
one of the best RTS of all time.

The only Harry Potter set ever I owned was the original Hagrid's Hut.
The roof was made of paper and didn't last very long, but I still liked the overall design of it. Also included was a rare baby dragon piece.

>>18605874
The hut folds open to reveal a modestly detailed interior.

>>18570938
I loved building this one. The arches were peak aesthetic

>>18589537
I could never beat the slimy slug level, they always sapped my energy crystals faster than I could mine them. You needed starcraft levels of apm and strategy to beat that level what were they thinking.

anywhere to buy these old sets?

>>18606006
I had two of those castles for whatever reason. Spent months playing with it

>>18605874
>>18605919
that's pretty neat

>>18580412
my white whale...

god i wanted this one bad

>>18589389
first theme/series in this thread i didn't have at least one set of as a kid.

wasn't allowed a console but at least i was totally set in the lego department

Who here was down on Knex?

>>18607920
i always wondered; did people build something other than alien spaceships/planes with knex? that's how 90% of my builds ended up as a kid

>>18568123
This, whatever you have in your wallet will be divided by 2.

>>18607977
Other vehicles/robots

>>18568214
Oh fuck yes. Who used to pretend the top of the stairs was the surface and used to send the sub under the water exploring (downstairs)?

>>18584708
Man, I wanted the Playmo version of that set. If I'd known there was also a Lego set...

>>18589451
>>18590130
>look up Galidor
>Ninjago set has a minifig that wears a Galidor t-shirt.

>>18591756
the small swiss army knife blade is the best thing to use

>>18609032
The lego movie has one dude with a blacktron shirt. The designers of today are the kids among us that could actually do it big and work at what they liked all their lives.

Too bad this thread was a dumpster fire of nostalgia instead of being about the actual topic OP presented. Its worth discussing.

Usually we see a smal pump prior and dump after, then within months a parabolic rise from looking at past events I guess.

I built a parrot out Legos when I was 7 from a picture on the box and then realized it was gay and asked my parents for a Sega to play Mortal Kombat.

Based anons truly. I owned some of these but mostly I just loved looking in the little catalogue that was usually with the Lego section. Now it's all branded shit. Strange to think that we'll be collecting lego and old video games and pcs just like boomers love their muscle cars and boats

>>18568214

mfw i had both these and the artic base too

damn i had it good..

>>18568073
>Gun in the coffee cup
But why?

>>18585137
I do. I still have a mutation of this thing in my lego chest. Or at least I did before I gave it to my 4 year old cousin.

>>18609238
perfect for a kid playing with lego

this will forever be my favorite lego set even if the life on mars franchise was mid. the pump thing was too much fun.

You ever try to clean sand out of a revolver?

I don't understand why the most common looking ship had the queen. Instead of the spider cricket thing.
