eliminator Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) Hi All, I'm just getting back into lego as a pastime since a long absence from my childhood. Most of my sets are from the mid-90s, with a few sets added within the last couple of years. I just ordered the new Passenger Train and Train Station and finally want to start building a Lego city. Unfortunatley, alot of the lego from my childhood was Spyrius and Aquazone, so not the best sets for a starter city. Surprisingly, I still have most of the original boxes, instructions, and complete sets that were buried in my parents basement. I'm looking forward to browsing the forums and getting some ideas for my city layout. I just loaded all my sets on Peeron, here's my collection if anyone is interested. Also, are there any good lego type stores in Ontario, Canada? Ottawa or Toronto area? I'm looking for old sets and baseplates. 1954 Surveillance Scooter 30023 Lighthouse 6115 Shark Scout 6125 Aquanaut Octopod 6516 Moon Walker 1887 unnamed 6518 Baja Buggy 6835 Saucer Scout 8746 Keelerak 7279 Police Minifigure Collection 6742 Mini Off-Roader 6679 Dark Shark 7595 Army Men on Patrol 6341 Gas N' Go Flyer 6265 Sabre Island 6155 Aquashark Barracuda 6889 Recon Robot 6193 Castle Building Set 6331 Patriot Jet 6175 Crystal Explorer Sub 7639 Camper 6336 Launch Response Unit 4022 C26 Sea Cutter 6939 Saucer Centurion 6544 Shuttle Transcon 2 6949 Robo-Guardian 7937 Train Station 6274 Caribbean Clipper 6541 Intercoastal Seaport 6339 Shuttle Launch Pad 7938 Passenger Train 10040 Black Seas Barracuda 4997 Transport Ferry 10214 Tower Bridge Edited October 19, 2011 by eliminator Quote
tedbeard Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Hi from the Left Coast (Victoria, BC)! There are two LEGO stores now in your neck of the woods but if it is older stuff you want you need to go to BrickLink, Value Village and Salvation Army. A note on Bricklink - I recommend only dealing with US sellers as the shipping charges on BL are the killer and I can get something from Florida (opposite end of the continent) cheaper and sometimes faster than from Alberta (next door province). I would not bother with garage sales unless you or someone you know goes regularly. Around here professional "early-birds" generally scoop up all LEGO and other collectible toys. Here in Victoria we have a website called UsedVictoria.com which is useful and I believe has counterparts elsewhere. Good luck! Ted, VicLUG.ca p.s. Around the LEGO community your non-LEGO years are called your "dark ages". :) Quote
