Took a quick picture from the back and flap Good luck :)

I must have overlooked them, thanks for bringing it up!

That looks great! Thanks for sharing this. Unfortunatly i don't see the bricks for either the GT3 nor the Chrion, but i can contact and ask regarding the possibilities for specific sets. The upcomming 42096 would be a perfect example for printing :D

This sounds interesting, do you have a shop name?

I only can agree with the comments above, what an amazing build!

Thanks for sharing the instructions, just bought myself 2 42001 aswell to see if i can get that nice FJ!

Great entries! My votes: 1 : 5 19: 3 26 : 2 31 : 3 52 : 7

Thanks for that, hard to imagine nowadays with that wide variety of colors that they have now :)

Today i had a lucky find and came home with a retail illuminated sign. Needless to say that i am very happy with this decoration piece for my Lego room, but i am wondering if anyone can identify its age. Based on the logo with the stripes i think it is from the 70's, but the Duplo clock is from the 80's i guess (as they started with the rabbit in 1979?) and since they came from the same store ... And what is the story behind those stripes?

Nice pictures added. And indeed, 42000 mounted on the wall looks really cool, i'll keep that in mind

So true I'm also not fond of the Star Wars sets, they just don't look right. Luckely Brickset doesn't list them as Technic either so i don't have to buy them

My all time favorite is the 8868, mainly because that is the one from my childhood (and the pneumatic with the compressor is just cool :)). Furthermore i really enjoyed building 8043 which is the favorit from the non-studded set, altough i didn't build 8110 yet.

Thanks :) That SNES stuff are the left overs of a past collection spree, it is the last gap of the closet that has not been overtaken by Lego

Some real nice collections here, i enjoy browsing through this thread! And indeed, that Lego lamp is just I really like those old store displays and signs. During this holiday i found some time to finally re-arange my Lego room and i took the opportunity to take some pictures and share them here. My ultimate goal is to own every Technic set ever made complete with box and manual. Now i am roughly at 2/3 The real nasty ones i still need are some of the american sets which are far more difficult since i life in europe ... hopefully i find them someday Most of the small boxes i put in transparant IKEA boxes so i can stack them better without crushing them. Maybe not the most spectacular sets in the showcase, but for me as a set collector these are among the ones i like the most. And in my working room i have a few of the big ones build and the classics of my childhood, still have to change 8275 with the 8110 ... next holiday

Those are really nice setup with all those white plates, it adds a lot of Lego look and feel :D I put my sets on a white plate as wide as a standard IKEA closet, but it gets a little crowded with the Winter Market. For this year i want to expand with the same width so that i can also let the Holiday Train running and have some room for the (hopefully) comming Winter Village set, like the layout of Fred.

I still need a lot of sets and i want them all , but the ones i want the most are the Expert Builder sets 858 and 8858 motorset 951 952 954

Hi, i'm Rob, a Lego collector from the Netherlands. After buying set 8043 to see if Lego was still as much fun as when i bought my last set (8868) long time ago i became totally hooked to Lego again and left my dark ages. Due to my lack of skills i don't MOC, but i primarily collect Lego Technic now. My goal is to get a complete collection once. Meanwhile i enjoy reading stuff about my hobby on Eurobricks from now on

It is also what you define as rare, is it just the Lego or a complete set with box and manual. For the last i can add the following as rare - Supplemental sets 877, 878, 879. The pieces are very common, but the box of those sets i have only seen once or twice (in case of 878). I think they didn't sell much and the box is useless to store parts so most people threw it away. - 880001, the both sets included are very common, but the package including the stopwatch i've never seen again after i bought mine. - 1924 as mentioned (US exclusive) is quite hard to find - 858 (motor set) this is the one i'm missing, only saw it once in an auction after it ended ... still hoping to find one to complete my collection. - The Kabaya sets from Japan. There european countersets are common as you can get, but the Japanse versions are another story - 1268, US version of the common 1259 - 8858 (motor set) is not that rare as there are several on Bricklink (most of the above are not there in complete condition) but is still hard to find - Other US 'exclusives' are also more difficult to find. - 1237, Japanse exclusive altough there are several on BL now. 41999 is not rare, it is just expensive None of the Model Team sets is rare in my opinion, you only have to pay the premium most of the time for 5571 and 5563 because of the damn wheels ...
