I'm sure I've seen that in some comics from around 1999, mate. Buggered if I can remember which ones thout and I have 1000s..... sorry :/

Had a touch at the car boot this morning. In addition to a Palitoy-A baggied R5-D4 (in LA thread) I picked up a couple of kilos of vintage Lego. All clearly Space and early fire brigade stuff. In addition to half a dozen complete spacemen I also was (nearly) about to complete these classic set! Only some very basic pieces and one large grey board. Nothing that's hard to find, that's for sure, maybe 6 pieces in total missing. I love it! Lego 924 Space Transporter:

That's a great car boot vintage lego find and there must be something in the air today for lego as I managed to pick up some bits from a garage sale this morning in the states.

Picked up this one that was complete with box and manuals - http://brickset.com/sets/4993-1/Cool-Convertible

This one had no box but is near complete (just a few small bits missing), and has the manuals - http://brickset.com/sets/8448-1

This lot came with a big bag of random lego bricks and bases that were brand new and cost me $30 for the lot, it's been a good morning for lego :D

Wow, superb find, Ian. Not even seen that Corbette set before! Like you say, it's been a Lego tastic day on both sides of the pond :)

Congrats Gary on completing your lego run, I can imagine that it's going to take up a fair amount of space to display them all at once but it would certainly look impressive. :D

Nice one,

Ian

Through in the Ghost Busters HQ and it's going to need some serious space.

And hopefully they'll bring out another modular soon!

Went round to Dad's the other week and he'd built up his modulars to ensure completeness as he was toying with the idea of selling, (I've now managed to convince him otherwise 'cos I want them)!

He hasn't got as many as you and it's still a tables worth - I've got a couple of others (duplicates by the looks of it) and the Ghostbusters HQ so a nice set between us...

Now that is one hell of a modular collection... super nice.. :shock: 8)

Picked up the new Ghostbusters Ecto 1 & Ecto 2 set the other day... was a few £'s cheaper in Argos, so added to the collection.

I felt a great disturbance in the LEGO reseller community, as if millions of resellers suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced....

Yep, there's going to be a lot of resellers sat on thousands of pounds worth of 5 year old boxed sets that are worth what they paid for them :lol:

And as for that set, all I'll say is what a lazy bunch of gits. Why even retire the previous one?? Maybe a little marketing ploy to get people to buy another few set before simply re-releasing it. Regardless, trick well and truly missed!

Holy crap, Martin, that set-up looks cool! As you say, with the other sets it take on epic proportions! What's really cool is that these modulars are pretty much to scale with the train, OK, not to scale but close enough. I see a large room, a town, a serious train set up.....and I see it taking up Gary's new extension! Glad you got the last piece of the puzzle, Gary. Good job you teach as you'll need all your holidays for building. You are going to have some sore fingers when you finish! The standout set of the modular series, for me, is the Cinema. I love it. I'm going to be selling off all my collection between now and Christmas (got a SW habit to fund) but that set I will not sell. Ever.

Bit of a random post but I am selling a pretty decent 1989 Pirate Lego collection right now, photos are on brickset (on iPad so can't load up here due to the size thing).

If people are interested that is :)
