The One Set I Always Wanted (But Never Got)

I always wanted the set below, but I never asked for it as I figured it would have just cost to much (hey I was a considerate kid). I've since seen it on Ebay and specialist Lego sites, so maybe someday I'll have it!

The Medieval Castle with Robin Hood and his friends. Wanted it so badly so as i could play Narnia (it was around the time of the BBC series Lion Witch and Wardrobe).

Ahh I remember that, it was fantastic. I always prefered the other truck from the Model Team range, the helicopter transporter. But hey, I wouldn't have said no if I had been offered yours back in the day Sleepy.

Been drooling over that ever since the creation of this forum sparked a huge interest in Lego in my office last week!

Seen that in a friends house about a week ago. Also a rather incredible opening millennium falcon.

I'm now officially jealous of his little brother.

I always wanted train lego!! I loved it so much and I used to get those catalogues that they had for free in Roches Stores on Henry street around Christmas time every year.

Neighbours of mine had this one

I always always wanted it but it was about 90quid at the time! I also wanted the automatic train crossing with the flashing lights

So simple but just legend!!
These things are going for mad prices on the web these days!!

And all the space lego!! Ah legend!!

Myself and my cousin when we were younger had a small race car set up and we made a small track out of the road bits.
VHS video camera in hand we made a stop-go animation movie of a race!!
We even managed to incorporate some stunt jumps utilising string so in the video you would have stop-go animaiton and all of a sudden we would have a normal speed jump!! Classic stuff!

Also built an obstacle course for small turtles we kept as pets. Ah quality!!

Brings a tear to my eye just thinking about the good times with lego. Its in the attic in 'rents house now!

I had the little brother of that one: http://www.brickset.com/search.aspx?Set=487-1 but it wasn't the same. And the guy up the road used to Lord it over me because his Lego was bigger than my Lego.
