I spent some time looking through Brickipedia last night at old space and castle sets. I had so many of the little space sets that were under $5.00. Just a tiny weird spaceship or rover thing and a spaceman. But I think this might be the only original spaceman that made it back to me.
The good news was that I think ALL my castle Legos and knights survived their 25 years in a box at the bottom of a closet.
One of my biggest regrets is that I didn't take my whole rubbermaid bin of old Legos with me when I moved out of my parents' house before getting married.
I honestly have no idea. It probably got trashed, but I don't know. And it's not like I can just call 'em up and ask about it.... I've kind of been disowned. :/ (Long story, don't ask.)
Brian Takle I shouldn't have been surprised, but I still was when I discovered you can find the instructions for just about any old set online. I could build all my old castles.
Where did it all go wrong, Casey? I can’t pinpoint it, but it was already too late when they remade 3:10 to Yuma and took a movie that was mostly two men talking about morality in a hotel room and put in a Gatling gun.
This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
I used to have a few of these guys. wistful sigh
ReplyDeleteOh man, I had so many of these guys. I miss my old Lego.

ReplyDeleteDid it go in a garage sale? Or worse?
