I was born in 1972. Lego is part of my life. It shaped how I structured my brain, developed my skills, learned to be patient in order to solve problems as a young kid. More than playing with it, it was also the emotion of waiting for Christmas or a my birthday, dreaming reading the catalog. Much later, it remained a vector of joy, playing with my kids. My all-time preferred model remains the 856 Bulldozer. A condensate of technical simplicity and playing joy.
Thank you for your extensive response. I agree with you that Lego can be an important part of your development and can also provide particularly valuable memories and moments with your children. For me it is a way to relax and clear your head. Delicious de-stressing. The warmest greetings from the Netherlands
MsLeguman: I'm from 1975 and could tell the same story. Also that specific Bulldozer was a fantastic model. I got it at a Christmas at my grandparents house, and the empty box remained in the guest room untill like 2003 when my Grandfather died, so I saw that box whenever we stayed there over the weekend gor more than 20 years. 😊
Sigh. I had started collecting Technic and Dacta sets back in the late 80's. By the late 90's I had my huge collection stored at my mom's house with some other of my things while I was out of the country. She gave my collection to her friend's kid. When I got back I couldn't believe what she did. She didn't understand what she did until I informed her that she gave away over $7,000 in Lego. The sad part was that she stopped talking to the mother and bratty kid a month after the incident and before I found out. My current Technic/MindStorm collection is no where near as large as my first. :-(
Got my first technic lego set in 1972, 5 years before the official techic lego evolution redesign. Although your story is sad, its not unusual. My collection has grown to include other ppl collections, especially the 60s and 70s classic lego. I have build sets i never had and always wanted, like The Apollo Eagle Lander. With minor mods. Modern lego is cool but expensive. Recently been buying the cheap china copies. As its a personal collection and i like to build as its great stress relief
Some great models in the beginning,but you can see they kinda lost their way and lost sight of covering the wide spectrum of vehicles between the late 90's and early 2000's My last model was back in 1994 the 8880 supercar,the hours I spent willfully staring into Lego Technic catalogues between 88 and 94 wishing I had certain sets and wishing Christmas would come sooner and sooner,the bugatti has gotten my attention again after 24 yrs away
Speaking of catalogue dreaming. I wanted the first helicopter but couldn't afford it and then it hit me that I had all the parts but no instructions. So I found every photo that I could and started to build just by looking at the photos. It all came together and the rotors turned and could change pitch while the tail rotor spun around. What I didn't realise until recently was that I had effectively Reverse Engineered the model by counting holes and knowing the size of various parts. I learnt far more from building the model that way than if I had bought the set.
Late 90's and early 2000's were terrible and the almost went bankrupt. If you want to buy old sets you can look @ www.bricklink.com for new and used sets worldwide. Everything from Lego you can find @ bricklink.
I was sooo happy when I got the Pneumatic Excavator (8851 @ 2:14 ) for Christmas !! That set was 299 Dutch Gulden or about 175 Dollar back in 1984. I was just 9 years old, but playing with Lego as long as I can remember. I'm convinced that Lego gave me a huge head start into construction and engineering !! Good parents give children Lego instead of a "smart" phone !!!
I dislike the studless Technic sets only now days, they allow for greater complexity and overall leaves a more smooth finish, but they are a pain to assemble and take apart let alone experiment with, i think the Technic sets from the mid 90's to early 2000 had the best sets overall, a great combination of both aspects, it's more fun to build with studs and Technic together.
The 1977 Tractor and 1978 Go Kart were the first technic sets given as gifts to my brother and me. Then we got space Lego and the more generic stuff, until I got the 1987 Robot, which was actually a transforming robot/truck (inspired by another very popular toy line). Then there was a big gap until I reinvigorated my interest with the mini Fork Lift in 2003. Since then it's been Star Wars and what Technic I can afford.
I remember my construction toys from the fifties.Meccano and Bayco both made in England.The magic of these sets is that you could make many things,not just one.I bought two Lego sets last Chrismas for the little one ,took 30 mins to assemble,thats it.The box was a reasonable size the building small.I did'nt think it was value for money.I went back to the store to look for a set that would make many things,could'nt find one.
When I gave my Legos to my grandkids the were blown away beacuse I still had that original lego car with the square pistons. God I loved that thing. The wheels were HUGE. Great video.
Still got the 8464 and 8431 lying around in pieces. Cannot believe how archaic they look compared to the models that came just 1-2 years later; they look more like mid-90s sets. Personally I never liked the studless design of the never models, I know that they give you way more flexability in building, but it just doesn't seem like Lego to me. EDIT: I always wanted the 8421 as a kid, seeing how much of an improvement it was compared to the 8431^^
Nice to see this model in one pice... after i got them i need the Parts and now 10 years later i cant build one of them becaus i lost a lot... Thanks for this Video
Start BRICKing that’s really sad! Nothing worse than wanting something and then not getting it. Sorry. It was a brilliant set, I remember getting it for Christmas, I spent Christmas Day night building it. I had such great memories. When I saw a new, sealed set on eBay, I couldn’t resist. Sure, it’s not the set I had originally but to hold the set in my hands once again bought all the memories flooding back! Hopefully one day you’ll get the set to make up for your missing birthday gift!
I remember seeing the 8258 crane truck and my 9-year-old self desperately wanting it. You can imagine my excitement when the supercar was released 2 years later
I remember calculating how many lawns I needed to mow to be able to buy some of these sets in the 90s. Actually looking back I had to come up with a basic concept of Algebra to calculate it lol. I was around 10 yrs.
Wow! I still have 3 out of the first 4 pictures, minus the helicopter, the forklift and tractor are still mostly assembled, car is in a big bucket but have instructions in a drawer somewhere? Also have a few of the bigger ones at the end, last one was the bucket wheel loader.
Start Bricking yes they do , got the forklift for Christmas in Germany, Cousin had the same one, fond memories for sure. I don’t know the model # but I still have the blue LEGO moon lander and moon buggy set from ‘72? Was my first LEGO set ever. I got a model of a mining drill I copied from a trip to the Düsseldorf mining fair in ‘74, even got a picture and article in the Ingersoll Rand company magazine. Thanks for the video👍

I think you're forgetting about the late 60's early 70's Samsonite gear system set that where the precursor to the Technic line of sets. Also there were some electric motor sets that came out around the time of the Samsonite gears that also evolved into the Technic sets.
I was lucky enough to find the space shuttle #8480 in an antique store still boxed with all the parts in bags. I'm in the process of building it now. It's wild to see how far Lego has come with their building techniques and instruction books. Oh, and I only paid $35 for the kit :)
Wow, nice list! My second to last Technic set i got was the 8854 @ 3:17 Today i bought my first Technic set in thirty years! It's the 42082 @ 17:09 Funny how this one and the one thirty years before that both are cranes ^^
WoW.... you had a long period of "Dark ages". Cool that you found Lego again. I wish you a lot of fun building it and also best wishes for 2020! Thanks for sharing.
Modern bricks are more customized to whatever you are building. The old bricks, where were only so many, and you had to be really creative to get the look.
My son and I now have sets from the early years and the last couple of years. We play with LEGO Technic very differently, he will build the sets as per the instructions and then display the models. I would build the models to plan and then all the parts would go in the LEGO Van I made in wood work class Year 9 I think. From all the parts other things could be created. This skill comes in handy with my job at a school repairing things or making new things from available parts or even just simply assembling kit furniture or equipment like mobile cricket nets shipped all the way out from England.
Awesome. Lego is a great toy to boost creativity and you can use it in many different ways! Sounds like you have a great jobBest regards from the Netherlands and thanks for your reply.
I played with Legos so much in the very early 80s. No sets just a huge bag of bricks. Favorite thing to do was engineer cars for me and my brother to smash together and see which one exploded less. Re-design, rebuild, repeat. I didn't even know Technic existed until abot a year ago. Is that weird or what
Sure brings back some memories I had the very first forklift 850 and the tractor 851 for Christmas 1977 and the car 853 in January 1978, don't know how many times I built and disassembled those three sets I spent hours with them and, I still have them to this day, it's still the best toy ever invented (in my humble opinion) Thanks for posting the video
David Musgrave And that is the way that it should be used, to inspire creativity but too many people only build the main model, including my 13 year old son.
Missed out the 1975 released set 392 of a Ford-Tyrell F1 car. It uses the forefather of technic Lego Actually its the most realistic Lego model ever predating everything after by several decades

I had more than I can count. The only one’s I’ve got atm is the (merc crab lorry/tipper truck) and 2 -3 other models that are in a box with no instructions, which isn’t like me. If I knew then I’d of kept all the boxes/models/instructions as ones they’d be worth a fortune and 2 I’d have a massive collection 😊 Wish I still had 8880 😪
I start in the early 80s with lego and became a fine mechanic now (adapt and repair electronic wheelchairs) every day when we finish de day we refuse to go home and keep playing with the parts and to try new things. Our job is one big lego-box. Doing good things for people.. It all start with lego.. But you see between 1995 and 2001 the lego employees where idiots and develop silly things. The early 80s where the best... Good video 👍
Thanks Roy, that's why Lego went almost bankrupt in 2001 :O...... But now they make great play sets. I agree the early eighties where the best. Cool your work give you so much joy. Happy for you. Not every one can say that of it's job.

I had more than I can count. The only one’s I’ve got atm is the (merc crab lorry/tipper truck) and 2 -3 other models that are in a box with no instructions, which isn’t like me. If I knew then I’d of kept all the boxes/models/instructions as ones they’d be worth a fortune and 2 I’d have a massive collection 😊
Wish I still had 8880 😪
Thanks for your reply. I don’t know which set you mean. Did you look @ model team?

I start in the early 80s with lego and became a fine mechanic now (adapt and repair electronic wheelchairs) every day when we finish de day we refuse to go home and keep playing with the parts and to try new things. Our job is one big lego-box. Doing good things for people.. It all start with lego.. But you see between 1995 and 2001 the lego employees where idiots and develop silly things. The early 80s where the best... Good video 👍
Thanks Roy, that's why Lego went almost bankrupt in 2001 :O...... But now they make great play sets. I agree the early eighties where the best. Cool your work give you so much joy. Happy for you. Not every one can say that of it's job.
