I'm now selling my UNOFFICIAL LEGO SETS/PARTS COLLECTORS GUIDE (1949-1990s) as a 2,800 page downloadable file (only takes 6-10 minutes to download the vast 688MB of data to your PC Desktop).  Over 6,000 images that include several hundred sets/items not found in any online LEGO database...

... and two 400 page PRICE GUIDE for sets not often found for sale in any auction or on Bricklink (10,156 prices in dollars on the USA price guide, and 10,156 prices in EUROs on the European price guide).  The price guides use the 4 standard collectible conditions.... Very Good, Excellent, Mint in Box, and MISB.

See here in my EBAY store for details on all the chapters, some images, and free downloadable chapters...

If you don't have a Bricklink or EBAY account, you can always order directly from me thru Paypal... my id is: istokg@earthlink.net

I have collected LEGO since 1960, and spend years researching the history of LEGO sets, parts and products.  I've had help from collectors around the world, as well as the TLG Archives, Vault and Collections in Billund Denmark.

When the folks at TLG get questions from others that they cannot answer... sometimes they refer the questions to me!     Reason is... the Archives at TLG are somewhat sparse prior to 1970.


I also contributed to the Fantasia book on collecting (the one with the 1-6 bricks for set rarity).

Still offering discount DOWNLOADS of the LEGO DVD (download of 688 MB takes only 6-10 minutes to get to your computer desktop)...

Plus... if you would like a LEGO USA/Canada only LEGO Classic... the 1975-77 #455 Lear Jet (never sold outside of North America)... I'm offering 5 of them to Eurobrick folks (no box, no instructions) but with unused stickers and all the original parts in mint condition...  for only $5... in addition to the LEGO DVD download order...

With shipping, the price for the LEAR JET would total....$7 for USA, $7.50 Canada, $8.00 Elsewhere....  billed as a shipping cost...  (so you just buy the discount DVD as download... and add either $7, $7.50 or $8) to get the "original new parts #455 LEAR JET)... although I may have to possibly invoice the shipping.

Here's their selling prices on Bricklink....

http://www.bricklink...asp?itemID=7260

These Lear Jets averaging $14 (for used parts only) up to $60 (for MISB).  Get all the new parts for $5, and add your own stickers....  7 of the 46 parts have been discontinued for some time... (5 of them aren't even available in NEW on Bricklink!).

NEVER SOLD IN EUROPE, BRITAIN, AUSTRALIA!

If you don't have a Bricklink account, or don't want to deal with Bricklink... the LEGO DVD or download is now available online....  don't have to be a Bricklink or Paypal member, and can pay with credit cards if you wish (although all transactions go thru Paypal)... although people without a Paypal account can still buy...

Still have 5 LEAR JET freebies for the first 5 orders.....
