What was your first set?

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.....

I am not sure if these were my first sets, but I was 5 in 1986, so near enough.

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 know what you mean, it is damn handy. I've been spending way too much time there.

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 · 17-07-2006 05:23PM

That's the one!

Funny, I typed "fire station" into that search and it didn't come up.

irlrobins · 17-07-2006 05:24PM

odd... that's how I found it....

Ah the memories, that was my first ever proper set. I could never figure out what LL-BELL meant though

Probably gives my age away a bit though!

irlrobins · 19-07-2006 12:48PM

hehe, had that set too. Used to time myself as to how quick I could make it with my eyes closed.

kc66 · 19-07-2006 12:58PM

I think this was my first:

herbieflowers · 19-07-2006 01:04PM

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
