zoo Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 Just now, TeriXeri said: I made the 850 set a few years ago when I found the instruction sheet, 1977 is as classic as it's gets, older then myself. Sweet! :) Instructions for some of the older sets are available on the LEGO website. The 8480 Space Shuttle and 8880 Supercar for example. Quote

I got that. No instructions for sets from the 80's and earlier are available through www.lego.com. Just thought what I wrote might be helpful to someone. :) Edited January 16, 2019 by zoo Quote

Also there are great resources online to identify parts/sets. Edited January 16, 2019 by TeriXeri Quote
shadow_elenter Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 I think of it as a retro thing. Back then studded LEGO was the best and now we have something I personally find better but I'll occasionally revisit the old style. Back then the first mario was the best game and now we have games I personally find better but I'll occasionally revisit the old ones. Back then vinyl records were the best and now we have something I personally find better but I'll occasionally I listen to an old record. There will always be a love for retro because many people are nostalgic, and I think that is the place studded LEGO resides. Quote
leafan Posted January 17, 2019 Author Posted January 17, 2019 I have tons of old Technic sets from the early 80s through to the 90s but they're hard to identify due to the shared element assortment and rather open ended builds. I do have the 1985 Go Kart to repair so that might be to tonights job. Quote
