Pabstat Posted July 11, 2019 Hi there. Since my boy just turned 2, i thought it's the right time to check what ist left from my stuff for him. And a good way to convince the first Lady that it is necessary to deal with Lego again ;-). As a good Daddy, i already purchased some Technic sets for future use, but now, i crawled into the dark corners of my parents house attic on the hunt for my old lego parts. And thanks to the lego god, we kept everything. One thing what surprised me though, is that i played with lego much shorter than i thought. By the Sets i identified so far, it stopped around 1991 and started around 1985. So my dark ages ended after more or less 28 years.... Anyway, I am glad that I am back into the lego universe. And it' s just amazing what ist possible today with all the great sources Like bricklink, brickset and of course such a great forum. https://ibb.co/x7Pfsz6 https://ibb.co/b7D6cjY https://ibb.co/W5LXrxs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tezclatipoca Posted July 12, 2019 Welcome aboard ! You seem to have great old sets from the best LEGO era ever ! (in particular the great beginning of the Pirates theme ! ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pabstat Posted July 12, 2019 Thx Guys. Yeah, i really liked that pirate theme. A pity that i was Not interested in the Clipper for some reason. I think all other pirate sets from 89 are there. I am now sorting all the bricks....quite a task. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Littleworlds Posted July 12, 2019 Welcome back to Lego! It seems we were into it at the same time. Those are some lovely sets you got. Quite simple by todays standards, but still looking really good. And the Black Seas Barracuda, well the whole pirate-theme really, was a game-changer. I have very fond memories of it. And still hopes to get a pirate display together one day myself. See you around and have fun with your new old hobby! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leverandon Posted July 28, 2019 Welcome! I'm fairly new to these forums as well. I'm a fellow father of a two year old. He's been playing with Duplo for about a year and a I recently got all of my LEGO out of storage and we've been dabbling with that as well. I'm glad to see that he seems to like both Duplo and LEGO equally right now. 1985 - 1991 LEGO is really a golden age. I love your collection of 1989 Pirate. I have a lot of those as well. Enjoy buildign those with your child over the next few years. -Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
