What was your first set?

Kintarō Hattori

With all the talk of Lego recently I'd been trying to rack my mind and remember what my first set was. Thanks to Brickset after a little browsing around I found my first ever Lego set. Sniff.....

Mine was the lego police station. it was so class. It was around the time of chips on telly and one of the little guys even had a motorbike. it was the best enjoyment ever for a 5 yr old!

Ah, the memories!

Looking at the favourite set thread, I now recall I had some of the 1985 sets - the airport, a jet, a fire station and a two truck.

The first sets I had were just boxes of Basic but the very first lego sets I can remember having were these two which I got for Christmas 1984:

I can't remember exactly what my first Lego set was I reckon it was one of the helicopter sets which you could put a lego man in.

Brickset doesn't seem to have my first set. It was big red FireStation with these rollable garage doors that seemed out of this world at the time

I remember this being my pride and joy tho.

You mean this one?

Pigman II

That's the one! Funny, I typed "fire station" into that search and it didn't come up.

I used to get all the small sets, I think there was a "glacier" type series with cool ass gacier-mobiles and stuff. My first big set was a castle with a glow in the dark ghost AND a trap door! http://www.brickset.com/search.aspx?Set=6086-1
