Whats the rarest/oldest piece of Lego you have in your collections?

Recommended Posts

I have lots of misprinted pieces, but by far my favorite is really rare (I haven't seen one like it before) and extremely useful. I have an angry-face Buzz with no dirt printing.

For my rarest non-misprint pieces, well... I do own a Mr. Gold. So all of his pieces. :grin:

light flesh 2x4 bricks.

I got them from a friend of mine who told me he got them from a PaB wall years ago.

I believe they were only produced for the big Basketball player sculptures at Legoworld.

For my oldest I think Supplemental 224 I have boxed with trans-clear curved pieces fits the bill. Rarest piece - I don't really know until I finish looking through everything! I am pleased to have the two grey antennas for my space Command Centre 926 that I have rebuilt from all the old parts I had. For value versus size probably the trans clear old shields I have as radar pieces on my 894 Mobile Tracking Station.

Probably some of my really old town printed or sticker pieces are quite rare but I don't have the time to really check!

My oldest pieces are probably some tubeless 2x4 bricks from the late 50s. Kids, if you don't own any bricks older than your parents, you're not collecting rare parts correctly.

I've collected a variety of Q elements over the years, but most of those are easy to find among rare elements. My rarest is probably my brand ribbon display stand: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dp3/9644163358/in/album-72157635320379651/ 9644163358_abdea5a079_m.jpg

My rarest, oldest Lego piece is a light stone grey spring off of the old Lego Technic monster truck.

Wow so the long whip antenna DOES technically exist in transparent yellow. Wish I had some, I have a number of Blacktron 1-type MOC ideas where they would fit perfectly...

Also please visit my instagrams Rarelego page if you're interested. a collaboration with some big collectors as walter whiteside, sascha rücker (magicbricks), derjoe (joachim klang, and few others.

I post all prototypes there only once so it's not chaotic, with info so far known on other colors/partnumbers, shortshots on protos, marbled pieces and even misprints. https://www.instagram.com/rarelego/?hl=nl  :blush: Still long work in progress but already gives an idea what's out there in the dark world of lego...
