Eeko Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Can you remember the first LEGO set you ever got?The earliest set I can remember was the Championship Challenge PN# 3409It was a soccer game with the minifigs on pegs that you could flick to kick ball. Quote
Meiko Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Let me think... Something in Jack Stone or maybe Town.

Sumiki Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Something Duplo. My parents got me addicted early. Quote avatar by Lady Kopaka
Meiko Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Oh yeah, I forgot: I got a ton of DUPLO sets. I wasn't thinking of that before―I was thinking of actual SYSTEM sets.

emily Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 My first actual set was 5975 T-Rex Transport. I can still remember playing with it all the time, for days on end. Quote believe victims. its actually not that hard, and youd look kind of bad if you were to, say, side with an abuser because theyre your friend
-Blank- Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Lego Star Wars Tie Fighter and Y-Wing I believe. I got it sometime around 2000-2001 I think. Quote
Johnuva Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) The set that I can remember specifically as being my first was the original Droid Escape. Ah, the nostalgia... Edited October 16, 2011 by Johnuva Quote
Ballom Nom Nom Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 I was a wee child, and thus have absolutely no idea. ~B~ Quote
Overlord Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Lego Star Wars Tie Fighter and Y-Wing I believe. I got it sometime around 2000-2001 I think.Same here! O~o Interesting.Though I do have to note that I got a gigantic DUPLO fire engine set shortly around the same time, maybe a fair bit before.~~ Quote "YOU'D THINK, FOR BEING A DEAD MAN, I'D BE MORE TRIUMPHANT THAN I AM."
vulpelibrorum Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Not totally sure for system sets, but I think it might have been either a Jack Stone biplane, the Extreme Sports Skate Park (not sure that's the name) or one of those little 2001 Racers that came in those right triangle shaped garages. I think that the garage somehow doubled as a launcher of some sort, but it's been waaaaayyy too long. Quote
Phauxx Lightning Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 The X-wing from Star Wars. Can't remember which version though. Quote
VBBN Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Some duplo set but in terms of actual system I think the Johnny Thunder set with the trailer car, had two dinosaurs with it. Quote
that guy from that show Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 The 1998 set, 6420 Mail Carrier. Quote That is all
redacted Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Not counting Duplo or a couple of System brick tubs, my first proper set (that I remember) was a fire rescue boat, from the late 90's. I don't remember the exact set name, I would recognize it if I saw a pic... *Too lazy to look at Brickset* Quote
Astrotorical Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 I got one of those 1000 peice boxes. after that was an X-WING!!! i did get duplo, but i dont count that since it wasnt mine Quote axonn, trying to excape my signature
dotcom Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 It was a generic set of bricks in a medium size red container in the 'shape' of a red 4x4 brick.I remember because I still have the container and it is awesome. Quote
son of the shadows Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) Some Duplo boxes I think, though they gave me system at the same time in my early years. Edited October 17, 2011 by son of the shadows Quote
You just lost the game Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 An old LEGO Spider-Man set.Can't remember what it was called though. Quote
WriterofReapers Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 The original Naboo Starfighter. However, I did have Duplos before that... But can you call those sets? Quote ◇ Lacertus ◇
Erebus Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Oh my... this brings back memories.2160 Crystal Scavenger was my first set; bought it way back in 1997. Quote

UltraHau Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 Something Lego City-ish. Motorcycle Bob, I think.

Blendercat Toa of Coldplay Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 First Lego? A giant bin of Duplo. First system? Think it was the spider man set of the Oscorp lab, with the thing that spun around between green goblin and Norman Osborn. First BIONICLE? Kohrak, given to me by my cousin.

Larnuu Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 I got some of the original LEGO moon sets (IDK witch ones) (and note i'm not that old, they were given to me, i forgot who because i was REALY young). Quote Nacuu's Slow Dance!!
ZippyWharrgarbl Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 Um... I can't remember the first one I got. The chunky Duplo sets, I think. And then came the Hewkii from McDonald's, or the Tahnok. I forget which. Quote Memoirs of the Dead entry: The Unknown Turaga, a tale from the late Chronicler Kodan's journal. Strakk's Best Friend, the story of a confusing yet somehow canon friendship.

GeluNumber1 Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 Some Star-Wars set. I was six. Quote Why are orange and black such a good color Combination ? Purple is pretty, and so is blue. Pink hurts your eyes, green is quite mellowing, black is very threatning, red is cool, orange is SO awesome, yellow's hard to read... But you can't see white at all! Oh, wait. I forgot brown. Here's my thoughts: If a person tells the truth and says, " I always lie," Is he lying? Or is he telling the truth? And what has a mouth, but no head, and a body, but no torso? Do caterpillars like to tend to supporting colum of stone's every need? Or is that name misleading by nature? Speaking of nature, why are the children of animals called offspring? don't many young beasts come alive in spring, and thus, should be called onspring? Heeeeeeyy..... I got the first post on a page for the first time. Who knows; it may happen again. What the... It did happen again... and again... YEAH! I'M ENCOUNTERING PROTODERMIS!
Akuna Toa of Sonics Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 A set from the very old "Race" line, or one from the "Dino Island" theme. Quote Does anyone want to play the Master Chief Collection with me? I'm trying to get a team going for ranked. PM for GT.
Bambi Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 That was ages ago. I have absolutely no idea. Quote [my blog] [custom emotes]
that guy Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 1749 Aquanaut Paravane released in 1996. Makes me feel pretty old compared to some of these other ones. Quote
Toa Smoke Monster Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 I believe my first set was from a alien theme Lego had back in the day. It was this big UFO set. Its top could detach and be a smaller UFO. Also, a little vehicle could roll out of its side. I don't remember the name of this set though. Just thinking about it brings back memories...

Field Marshal Rakmon Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 It was either http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=7103-1, http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=4605-1, or this one green Duplo Bucket I can't find a picture of on Bickset.

Hey, I think you are thinking of 1997's Alien Avenger, a great set that I myself got for my birthday that year. Alien Avenger on Brickset My first set, however, is from 1991. It is 6510 Mud Runner.

Tavakai Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 Lots of Duplos. I remember my grandpa getting me this bus-shaped Duplo thing one time, and that was already after I had Duplo stuff. Quote
Lime Paradox Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 The first set I can remember getting is this Life on Mars set, although I doubt it was actually my first set ever. Quote
christo1096 Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 My first lego set was Kopaka mata, after that my parents bought me some bionicles and space sets Quote Flickr l BShelf l Latest MOC
jamesster Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 The mutant killer whale from Alpha Team: Mission Deep Sea. Before that I had some older sets from the 80s that my older brothers gave me, but that Alpha Team set was the first I actually got myself. Quote
That Matoran with a Vahi Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) Not counting the Duplo I had at a young age, nor the early buckets of assorted LEGO bricks, the first real set I ever got was this one: http://www.1000steine.com/brickset/images/6800-1.jpg Edited October 23, 2011 by Darth Jaller Quote "New legends awake, but old lessons must be remembered.
