So, I haven't been very active on Eurobricks for a while (work, school, marriage, etc.), but I figured I'd make my partial comeback in a big way. Earlier this year, my wife's stepmother's mother sent me a bucket of old LEGO from when her children were young--she said she began buying LEGO for her kids in 1971, but there are pieces here from the late sixties, as well. This blurry picture (better ones later) shows the amount of elements there were (as well as how excited I was!): I did an inventory today, and there were around 1070 pieces in there! Most of them were in excellent condition. If anyone wants a complete inventory, I can oblige, but for now, I thought I'd share some of the more interesting parts. I'll start off with a 1x1 plate. Not really rare, but there was only one, and it was cool to see it with the old logo. Next up is the underside of the old-style 1x2 plates. And the underside of the old-style 2x8 plates. A printed 1x2 brick. Printed 2x3 bricks. Both these and the previous printed brick have a sort of embossed feel. Trans-clear 2x2 and 2x4 bricks. A tv aerial and an old pine tree. Some cool old swivel pieces. An old propeller. Old windows and doors. Some old wheels. I have no idea what this part is. Does anyone know? Here are some old catalog images. There were also enough pieces (and the instructions for) a (nearly) complete set. While I'll be posting a review of that in the Town forum within the next few days, here is a picture to give you a hint. (If this is the wrong forum, I do apologize)
