I'm sure I received a few $5 to $10 Castle/Town sets for my birthday in 1991
or 1992, but the first set I have a memory of receiving and building was in 1993:
It's still one of the most nostalgic sets for me, despite how flimsy the
build is. Also one of the greatest names for a Lego set!

‘93 was such a good year for Castle. Fire Breathing Fortress is still one of
my favorite ‘90s sets of all time!

I have that set from when I was a kid -- yeah not the greatest design, but
a great name for a Lego set.
Nowadays, when I say the words Dragon Wagon, I really mean Draggin' Waggon.
That's what they called Cooter's tow truck on The Dukes of Hazzard.

| I don’t remember having a specific set as a child of the 60’s, only a small
box of odd items presumably something someone else had finished with.
This was mixed with the very poor Airfix Betta Bilda .
Only remember having sets as an adult which I bought for myself or my two daughters.

Weetabix? Was that an exclusive set based on Weetabix? Looks great (including,

I am guessing the illegal techniques are the 1x2 for the horse ears. The sets
were a weetabix promotion, just search weetabix they all come up including the
back of the promo cerial packet for the full set

I remember having some of the older Legoland minifigures, e.g.
and I think they came with a fire truck set (it was a long time ago!), but the
first set I remember receiving was either
or
I had both (as well as other Space sets) but I don't remember which came
first - pretty sure these were 1-2 though. Maybe 462 for my birthday and 483
for Christmas.

I could guess but probably never be certain. I can say that I 100% remember
getting this set:
I was completely blown away by how huge and amazing it was, that was a special
Christmas. Honestly makes me wonder if I am spoiling my kids now.
I dug out all the parts about 10 years ago and put it together again, I kind
of want to do a search for it again. Its one of those sets (along with the forestmen
ones) that really just bring me back.

Eldorado Fortress was such a great set. I know I’m biased because I’m a huge
fan of raised plates in general but the crane and rest of the build just make
this set so special. Someday I’ll have to get around to buying it. It’s very
expensive on the aftermarket though!

Long time ago, but I believe my first set was the LEGO® City Fire Truck from
2004:
Lots of great features: minifig firefighters, trailer, boat, collapsible ladder,

Before I was old enough to really play with LEGO, my older brothers got these
sets from Santa Claus. Today, I have them.
Some of the first sets that were truly mine were these, and I still have them.
Since then, it has been all chaos and now I own about 3,000 Lego sets and about
400 Green Baseplates. LEGO has kept me out of trouble for almost 50 years.

There is a big difference in my first memory getting a new set, the
and my memory of the sets I had in my childhood. My parents and I were having
a weekend camping in a caravan my uncle had. My sister was yet to be born, but
my neighbor friend aged 4 came along. I was a little over 3 years old at the
time. We visited the fairy tale forest in the Efteling - which I mostly remember
through the pictures of me and my friend holding our ears against the giant mushrooms
in the park. These mushrooms played soft music and fairy tale stories. A lovely
amusement park. It still is, but I digress.
My parents were to give me the LEGO set but would not want to create havoc between
us boys, so creatively my father gave himself the present of the harbor. Of course
when arriving at home, the set was joined with the rest of the LEGO I had. And
my father never got any more LEGO but he was allowed to help me play with mine.
There must have been quite some LEGO and Duplo around at the time I got the harbor
scene. Most of it I remember having (as I still have it) but hardly any I remember
getting. Vague memories of family Sinterklaas festivities and birthday parties.
Those early childhood memories are mostly strengthened by moments you happen
to have photos of. (photo: me at age 2,5)

own my Luke Skywalker and Boba Fett from that set. Sadly the rest has went to
the bin which I sold a few years ago. ( I remember having a 2014 Grand Inquisitor

The London Bus (760.) When I sold my collection I did keep this one along with
a glued McDonalds give-away.
Now I am building a London Bus from Agora Models.

Had a look, and don't get how their plans work, but that seems very expensive
(first glance) like 1000$+ total for a model?
That sure seems very nice apart this!

A bit more, but these are expensive builds but on a subscription basis so I can
get them without my wife knowing and objection too much.
I did order a 1961 Jaguar complete and unfortunately that I cannot hide when
it arrives.

I understand, and those are really nice models.
But be cautious, a new wife would cost you FAR much more

I really dig that type of model. Very cool!
Is it the 1:12 scale model? This one:
London Transport Routemaster Bus RM857 112 Scale

Yes. That is the World of Wayne who I have learned almost all I know about building
these things. Great videos to help people learn and point out mistakes in the
instructions.
These building models is probably replacing my old joy of building Lego.

| The first one I remember is the Saucer Scout 6835. It was such a special set
to me because my grandma took me shopping for my birthday and I got to pick it
out myself. We couldn't usually afford Lego so I didn't have much growing

These are all good replies! I think my favorite mentioned in this thread has
to be the OG Republic Gunship from 2002. I honestly need to pick one up, but
the figures alone cost a small fortune. Even the 2 Supers are at least $70 each
last I checked. The fact that Jedi Bob is over $100 is just insane!

Yeah, prices are "insane" I remember when I could hardly giveaway the Jedi Knights
from that that set, had loads of them too. Ended up parting them out for chump-change.
Never understood back then why some figures were for years, undesired. I wrote
it off as folks just wanting the popular villain/hero characters, the more black
n'white roles in the movies. Guess I really don't know the consumer mindset.
My son still recalls the set too. "Hey dad, you remember that gunship set?" kind
of thing. It was his first set, but never really got a lot of Lego sets after
his seventh birthday, some here and there. He enjoyed other things more, like
his KTM at eight years-old when we moved to California living in the desert.
After that, it was all about the outdoors and dirt bikes, backcountry trekking,
shooting, etc. I 'americanized' him, the western style
Thanks for the great thread. Some fantastic reading from others.

My pleasure Popsicle! I love the more interactive threads like these but don’t
see them very often on the forum, so I decided to try my luck! Happy BrickLinking
everybody!

| The first set I 100% remember having was Coast Guard Station 575. I still have
some of the pieces.
After that my childhood attention was almost entirely focused on Classic Space,
with a couple Expert Builder sets here and there.
Thank you
