July 22, 200915 yr These are my all time favorite sets, and a brief explanation why. A few are from my childhood, and although relatively simplistic by today's standards, will always and forever be my favorites--I still get them out for swoosh sessions today! Favorites: 487 Space Cruiser: The main event of my childhood (sadly, 497 Galaxy Explorer was beyond available means of the era). 951 Bulldozer: I prized this so much as a kid, I was actually hesitant to play with it! 565 Moon Landing: The first set I ever purchased with my own money (age 8). 712 Sea Plane: Doesn't seem like much now, but I took it to bed with me every night when I was a kid. 5542 Black Thunder: The nail in the coffin of my dark ages. 6984 Galactic Mediator: Perfect combination of swoosh, size, and playability. 7191 X-Wing: The start of a whole genre, in my mind marking the beginning of true adult targeted sets. 1001 Metroliner (with 1002 Club Car): No explanation necessary. 10024 Red Barron: Holds up to swoosh better than the Sopwith Camel. 10027 Train Engine Shed: The realism and detail was a stepping stone to the modular Cafe Corner style I'm totally in love with today. Runners-up 6243 Brickbeard's Bounty: Makes me wish I did not miss classic Pirates (dark ages). 10133 BNSF GP-38 Loco 10128 Train Level Crossing 10039 Black Falcon's Fortress: Makes me wish I did not miss classic Castle (dark ages). 10159 Lego City Airport: Almost made the list above. 10182 Cafe Corner vs Green Grocer: (a tie perhaps?) By the way, I'm lucky enough to still own all the original oldies (and the newer sets too)! Edited July 22, 200915 yr by no_skill
July 22, 200915 yr My first ten: 1. Cafe Corner!!! 2. Green Grocer 3. Market Street 4. Pharaoh's Forbidden Ruins (it place will get 10197 Fire Brigade, but I don't have it yet ) 5. Sphinx Secret Suprise 6. Dragon Fortress ex aequo Scorpion Palace 7. King's Castle Siege (master Yoda says "Good source of light bluish grey bricks, it is" ) 8. BBQ Stand (really good set! ) 9. Hidden Treasure 10. Mos Espa Podrace (useful smallwares ). Edited July 22, 200915 yr by Dr Kilroy
