Buttons Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 When I introduced myself to eurobricks I noted that I collected vintage/classic lego form the 1950's/1960's and I was told that there was not a specific area to talk about it. So I thought for my first reveiw I would reveiw one of my classic sets. Sp here it goes! Name: 5 cyclists/motorcyclists Number of pieces: 5 Year released: 1958 Original price: Between 2 and 3 pence Continents released in: EU I purchesed this set quite recently as it was missing from my collection. This set was from the era when TLC were producing the old plastic HO and OO scale vehicles. The set has survived exactly 50 years to be here today and this particular set is in near mint condition. And now on to the reveiw... This is the outer sleve of the box and features a very colourfull design of a family building a plane (A very nice touch) On the reverse side is a picture of specialist parts you could buy at the time of release. And this is the inner sleve of the box which slides inside the outer sleve. On the thop and bottom ends of the box there is a picture of 4 of the bikes includes in the set all in full colour. And here is what you have been all waiting for...The contents. The list of the contents is as follows: There are 2 cyclists, 1 motorcyclist, 1 scooter and last but certainly not least 1 motorbike and sidecar. You can not really see it from any photo I could have taken but the detail really is amazing and well deserves it's mention in the reveiw. Scoring: Age:10/10 Detail:10/10 Playability:1/10 Piece count:2/10 Total:23/40 It may not score so well but I think it was a and still is an excelent set for it's time... Thanks... Buttons... Quote
Guss Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 I didn't know that TLG produced this kind of set Oo that's nice ^^ Quote
Wout Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 That's a nice old set in a good condition. What could it be nice if lego makes a set like these with minifigs for modern city, something a mix of the indiana Jones set with his father and a german soldier on a motorbike and a motorbike with sidecar and the new city civilians battlepack, a sort of Bikers battlepack.

I own (parts) of this set as well, and I have stored them away somewhere safe ! People can barely believe that our parents used to play with these...but they DID ! At least my parents have. Thanks for the pics and reminding me I have some of them also by showing them... for Buttons ! Quote
Shoc Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 Wow, interesting looking. I think my dad has some of these - they're a big contrast to the minifigures of today! :skull: Quote
