Classic Lego Sets

[Sizzle]

Anyone else into Legos as a kid? Some conversations with some friends made me nostalgic for some of my favorite lego sets I had as a kid, including:

El Dorado Fortress:


Space Monorail:


And I don't know what this one was called, but I liked it (found it searching for a photo of the Monorail):


Anybody else a fan of the old classic lego sets? Any favorites?

You going to send your kids to those lego camps? I hear they're pretty fun.

I wasn't a fan of the Lego sets when they came out. I may sound like I'm a hundred years old here but we didn't have sets growing up and I loved using my imagination for building space ships and forts, they were very basic but I loved playing with them.

I had all three of those.

Also had one of these super modern airports:

Yeah I was looking for a space-themed set to gift and the one I wanted was like $600 or something crazy like that.

The sets usually got built once, then destroyed and sent into a bucket and built into whatever you felt like that day. That was always the biggest appeal to me with Lego.
