#ThrowbackThursday – LEGO Football Championship Challenge
We got back to 2000 this week in our regular #throwbackthursday column. The arrival of the German football team series isn’t the first time football (soccer to the uneducated) and LEGO have mixed. There was a short lived theme back at the turn of the century, LEGO teamed up with big brands like Adidas and…
#ThrowbackThursday – Ricky Racoon
I think we do a good job here of getting a look at the history of LEGO sets through our section #ThrowbackThursday. More for the models than the literature which I am documenting via our Memory Lane section. In 1979, LEGO came up with a character series called Fabuland. Basically this was a fantasy world…
#ThrowbackThursday – Classic large town sets
Last weeks article was very popular and I’ve decided to focus on something similar this week. I’ve gone back in time and picked 5 classic LEGO Town sets that still put recent City sets to shame. I still think the town theme was ace and the current City theme is weak in comparison. Maybe it’s…
#ThrowbackThursday – Gas Stations
This week we are looking at more than just one set as this summer will see the arrival of a brand new City set – 60132: Service Station. This is the first gas/petrol/service station we have seen for a few years but I noticed one thing it’s missing unlike the classic sets of the past…
#ThrowbackThursday – 6273 Rock Island Refuge
We go back to 1991 for this week’s #throwbackthursday as I look at another set from my childhood. This was the other set I owned that had the ramp and pit baseplate and was the largest Pirate-themed island base from the entire Pirates theme. It was also called Port Jamaica in some areas but for me…
#ThrowbackThursday – 6267 Eldorado Fortress
Morning fellow Brick Fanatics, it’s Thursday and time to look back at passed LEGO sets. It’s nice to see our #ThrowbackThursday feature that we have been doing since 2014 getting picked up by other sites. It’s great to read others sharing their thoughts on past sets. Keith will be back again soon with more trips down…
#ThrowbackThursday – 6082 Fire Breathing Fortress
We here are Brick Fanatics HQ are embracing the new big bang theme Nexo Knights. It is slowly winning over even me who these days find it hard to part with money on standard LEGO sets, but there is something about this new theme that just appeals to my inner child. So, with that in…
#ThrowbackThursday – 605 Taxi
You could say that the piece count on some LEGO sets is bordering on the ridiculous. Take the AROCS Technic truck – 2700+ elements to build the bugger. Massive. And the build takes forever with that volume of parts to put together. But it was never like that 40 years ago. And this is why…
#ThrowbackThursday Mobile Crane from 1978
Ah, yes, this is more like it. If someone gave me the choice between the new Ghostbusters Fire House or set 670: Mobile Crane in MIB condition, there would be no contest. Mobile Crane would win hands down. 1978 saw the introduction of the LEGO Minifigure and with that a gradual change to way that…
