I can't remember the name, but it was a starter set with jack stone type minifigs. The first set that actually got me into LEGO was Hewkii mahri though.

I remember me and my sister both had two little boats. My sister had a viking in a rowing boat, I had a speed boat with a minifigure in sun glasses. Funny how I seemed to make endless creations then, always had enough pieces. Now I never have enough.

[Eragon3443]

I take the creator box back. Ny first set was a Jack Stone set.

[Reya]

I was a wee child, and thus have absolutely no idea.

~B~

I'm in the same boat. My older brother and sister owned Lego sets so naturally, I inherited them and cannot remember what I got. Nor do I remember the first set that was bought for me.

[xccj]

I had a fair share of Duplos (including a couple of mid 90s animals) as well as a few impulse city sets. However, the first large set that I remember getting was the Aquanaut Crystal Explorer sub.

[animemany2k]

this is one of the earliest sets I can rember having. before loosing half the parts under the carpet or furniture that is.

[Indigo Individual]

My first set was a number of Johnny Thunder sets, bundled together.

My first BIONICLE set, however, was Nuhvok.

[Damaracx 7.0]

I got my first LEGO set when I was born so I have no idea it maybe quatro or duplo.

[Adventurer]

I had a Duplo jigsaw set given to me as like a birth present apparently?

If that doesn't count I think it'd a red race car... Can't remember much about it though except I insisted the instriction were wrong and that the streering wheel should face the front where people could see it.

[Toa of Gallifrey]

My first set was The Lego Discovery set Saturn V Moon Mission (7468). Ah the memories that come with it, the many MOCs and lost pieces among this set. I still keep what can be preserved of the original models on display in my house.

[Applejack]

I don't remember what it was called, but I remember it had pirates.

[Astrotorical]

I just remembered some personal trivia, to do with the first time i got Lewa. Went to new zealand for a holiday, took him with me. Lost one of his Katana
Later on in the story some Piraka broke his Katana in half.
Hows that for a bit of coincidence?

Ahh... good times... whatever happened to the moving gear Toa?

[Onewa7]

My first ever LEGO set was the Mobile Outpost, an Arctic set. I lost all of it except the pieces now. I like this polar bear so much...

[Jinklemeister]

Earliest set I can remember was the very original TIE fighter. I do think it was my very first set.

[Cederak]

I recall having Duplos when I was really little, but my first real Lego set that I can recall was the Aquazone Solo Sub.

[Kopekemaster]

Mmmmm, lemme think.....

I think it was the police guy on the 3-wheeler.

Either that or some little spaceship thing.

I think it was from a gas station, though (musta been a pretty nice gas station to have REAL Lego Bricks.....)

[Akano Toa of Electricity]

My first set was (I think) the 6099 Traitor Transport from the Fright Knights theme (with cave, which I believe is floating around my house somewhere...).

[Keizah the Kaleidoscope]

Can you remember the first LEGO set you ever got?
The earliest set I can remember was the Championship Challenge PN# 3409
It was a soccer game with the minifigs on pegs that you could flick to kick ball.

Wow...that was my first set too. My brother always got mad when my goalie would kick the ball into the other side's goal (because it wasn't "technically possible").

[Parazan]

My first BIONICLE set,however,was Kohrak.

[Electric Turahk]

Probably this DUPLO table that had studs on it so you could build on it. They could also be flipped over to be used as an actual table. Was a great convenience as a kid.

For normal LEGO, I do believe it was a red bucket of parts. I can't seem to find a picture of the exact one online, but I still have it so know it exists.

~|ET|~

[Tenebrae Invictus]

I'm inclined to believe my first LEGO set is the same as my first Bionicle set - Gali. I don't recall having Lego Bricks before that.

[Corvus]

Gosh, it's been so long ago. I think the first product was one of those tubs of Lego Bricks.

But the first actual set....

Was Union vs. Confederacy AKA American Civil War a thing? If not, it was a Legorado set. But I do know it had a dude with a Confederate uniform and a horse, and possibly some dynamite. I think my grandmother from Down South gave it to me. She's from one of those towns where they think the Civil War is still going on.

[Takanuinuva]

My very first legit lego set was a johnny thunder jeep set from the desert adventurers theme. I had some duplo and a megabloks tub and two dollar store knockoff lego sets but I don't count those

[Ta-metru_defender]

Does Duplo count? If so, I can't remember.

If not, then I'm pretty sure it was the Sea Sprint 9, though I could be wrong, haha, it's been so long.

[Gatanui]

Not the least idea, although it must have been Duplo set. The earliest sets I remember having are 1183 Mummy and Cart, 6436 Go-Kart, 6437 Beach Buggy and 6457 Astronaut Figure, though. I also remember some old LEGO Space sets from my mother and dismantled Ice Planet 2000, M-Tron and Blacktron sets from a cousin, if inherited sets count.

[Great Mask Of Armor]

Aside from various Duplo things, Lightsaber Duel. Even though I remember having a minifig motorcycle helmet prior to that. Meh.

[Dralcax]

My first BIONICLE set,however,was Kohrak.

That's a paradox, because Kohrak is technically a Lego set, and was released before that (I think.)

[Parazan]

Technically, BIONICLE is a theme that stands out by itself. But yes, it is a Paradox.

[Dralcax]

So?

[Rama~Swarm]

It was a little vehicle, with a trailor and a speedboat. Probably cost about $10. That's about all I remember.

[Randy Disher]

I think it was one of those tubs of bricks.

[Shinken Green]

A Lego Freestyle bucket way back in the mid '90s. It was red, the lid was like a 4-studded brick, and it came with two minifigs and a few hundred bricks.

^ To quote Charlie Sheen "WINNING!!!" That would keep any youngster entertained for weeks. On subject though, I think my first lego set was duplo or something like that.

[The Dark Chronicler]

The 6198 Stingray Stormer. Which I got almost a year after it was released. Being four at the time I got it, it seemed like the coolest thing in the world. Now I look back on it only with regret that I was ever foolish enough to take it apart. Now, some of the pieces have broken from accidental stepping upon them and the rubber tubing has become torn at the ends. Oh how I miss this thing.

Set 2010, LEGO Primo Baby Walker.

A set so well-loved it not only started a life-long adoration for LEGO, but also managed to be played with nearly a decade after it was bought. =)

Gosh, I wish I hadn't given it away.

[Axilus Prime]

Jaller Inika. No, seriously. Bionicle is the reason I got into Lego in general.

[-{Lion Heart}-]

The old Star Wars A-Wing set. (http://www.1000stein...ages/7134-1.jpg)
Ahhh...the memories.

~LH

[Tomaku]

I think it was some set with Homemaker figures but I am not sure which.

[The Iron Toa]

I don't remember exactly what Duplo sets I had. I remember I had some Duplo train car pieces when I was a baby. The first set I distinctly remember getting -- a System set -- was a dune buggy. I guess must have been this one: I was three or four at the time.

[The Renegade Emperor]

I dunno. I can only remember I've always had a huge amount of old LEGO sets, which I shared with my brothers, given to us by a friend of my parents. However, if it's being asked "your very own and very first LEGO set", I'd say a Star Wars set with C3-PO in it and two robot thingies, but I can't remember how it was called nor why did I buy it: I've never been so much interested in Star Wars, and never seen one of the movies. But, yeah, I think that's it. Or maybe Pohatu Mata?
