Memory Lane – The LEGO UK Club Sew on patch
My final musings on The LEGO Club pack centre around the one thing that may have been forgotten by many – that being the LEGO Club sew on patch. Today, I really cannot see where a sew on patch would be relevant to a child, especially where we see more and children wanting non-permanent tattoos…
Memory Lane: The LEGO Club UK Sticker sheet
Who doesn’t like stickers? I know that my wee one cannot get enough of them and likes to stick them everywhere. On random stuff, not where they are meant to be stuck. It is a kind of addictive thing that children love. And what better thing to receive within your LEGO Club membership than LEGO…
Memory Lane: The LEGO Club badge
I hope that readers have been enjoying my look back through the archives here on BF. It has really made me look through all the stuff I have collected over the last few years and marvel at what LEGO was 20-30 years ago. Being the retro man that I am I have to say that…
Memory Lane: The LEGO Club ‘Welcome Letter’
The personal touch is always nice to have. And with membership from The LEGO Club welcome pack enclosed was this letter from the LEGO Club President Clive Nicholls.

Memory Lane : Spare a thought
Through the explosion of the internet, it has never been so easy to obtain parts and pieces from LEGO. Bricklink serves to be one of the most popular methods as well as realms of ebay and even Farcebook – yes, social media plays a big role. However, back in 1980, things were a tad different.…
Memory Lane: Joining the LEGO Builders Club
The LEGO Club. Today a freebie magazine that highlights certain themes such as Chima and City in a comic style, much like the magazines that you get on the newsagent shelves. Rewind to 1980 as I continue my review through Memory Lane and the LEGO publication archives. This was on the back of one of most treasured…
Memory Lane: 1970 LEGO Catalogue, Switzerland
Continuing my look back through the archives, we have a piece of LEGO literature that is 45 years old. It is remarkable that this was given away in my street find a few months ago and is in very good nick. This is the Swiss version of the product range that was available at the time.…
