Around 7:52, the crane part uses a 2x2x9 2/3 boat mast and 12L hinge bar in blue, which are exclusive to this set. This was also among the first sets to use the propeller element in Mata red and also marked the debut of the 32x32 baseplate in tan.

I had a lot of the Lego 90s sets. Of course the ones the came with treasure like gold coins and jewels i bought just to get those. My Lego treasure hairs was huge. I miss the 90s 😢😢😢😢

I have an all gray version of that forklift piece that I've had since I was a kid. I can't remember what set it originally came with.

wow, you always get good sets.I would recommend to get set 6398 central police precept HQ since you want every vintage lego police station.A lot of basic bricks in it.Also I would love to get my own divers set!

What a lovely video, fun to watch your story and build I really like that this set is brick built. I did have the 1st grey castle in my childhood and I have that one and this set on my wish-list.

You make a good point about how this set seems cramped. The lack of a bedroom also seems odd! I wonder if they were trying to cut costs, or if they were simply trying a different combination of components so that it felt different to the earlier holiday home? I have to admit, though, I do like this set! It has a basic charm to it. 😀

This would've seemed an amazing set for any kid who got it at the time, I'm sure! I think they'd only just started doing airplanes for minifigs? And all those baseplates would've taken up a huge amount of space: I'm sure that most children lucky enough to have this set weren't able to leave the full set standing. 😀

I had a number of Castle sets of this era, but not this one. I think I felt at the time that I could save my pocket money by building it with the pieces I already had... although I'm not sure I ever tried building it in the end! 🤣 Interesting that it wasn't on a baseplate, I don't think I was aware of any sets at the time like that.

That set is one of my favorites as well, as it is fun playing around with the whale skeleton's mouth, trying to get the scuba divers to retreive the priceless treasure chest from the skeleton's jaws with out getting trapped. I also like how the boat design is different, being a catamaran in this set, which has an X-ray machine, tools, a shark cage and an ocean floor map on board. I also like the small submarine that comes with it, which is equipped with two cameras. There's also plenty of marine life, including a shark, sawfish and a stingray.

Wow nice video to start my monday! 😊😊😊

Thanks for another great video Henry. I am thinking about getting the Lego 6086 Black Knight Fortress set from 1992 which I will cover around the end of the year because the prices are anything from £225 to £350. All the best, Peter.

Although I always preferred Castle and Space LEGO sets much more and also this set comes from period when I already lost interest in LEGO that time - it is nicely designed with lots of playability!

Not only did the panels get open studs they also got reinforced on the sides, so you can't build a smooth inside wall if wanted. (edit) Oh, I'm not quite right there was hollow stud without reinforcements on the sides as well 😅 I just did not have that in my collection...

Ordered this from a BL seller with box a few days ago, looks good from the pictures should have it in hand early next week

I need my daily Hnery's vintage fix. I love these sets that you show. We can live vicariously since you give great detail to each piece so it feels like we are also building it. thanks.

Nice find, looks good too. I have my "cut-off" at '91 (sans trains) as I just had to have the harbor sets

This set deserves a modern remake especially the skeleton. Excellent review!

I love this!

This is a really nice set great find

An interesting set. For me this era was when Lego had lost its way, although this set is better than I was expecting. Those big single-piece rocks are inexcusable, though. What were Lego thinking?!

I like the seaweed and the animals, but the skeleton is the best part.

Skeleton is still impressive up to this day!

Do you care if the stickersheets are original or Remakes?

Good

I got this set when I was 9, I still have it. I remember playing with it for years.

woahhhh! some great classic sets!!! I can't wait!

This one I had :) Amazing set.

This was my dream set when Lego got their first official retailer in Estonia. Never got it :( Post Ruble currency supported by Swedish bank made Lego super expensive.

Looking forward to some interesting and entertaining reviews, especially 70s and 80s sets! Sweet memories come to life again! ☺

Looks like some cool things to look forward to for reviews, in particular the electronics and the food promotional sets.😁 That is interesting what you said about box art style changing, some people like models and others like toys heh. Same for me, Star Wars sets about the original trilogy interests me. I watched a video about the Clone Trooper era, still very active but not for me.

yellow castle, so simple, so beautiful

I am so glad to algorithm suggested this channel to me. This content is absolutely class and I can't wait to see how your future projects go.

I found and built the chocomel factory from my uncles old lego recently. Along with other 70's set I still need to inventory. I have been thinking about having them displayed at a local toystore for a while.

Those early starwars sets from 1999-2006 have such great charm to them! I’ve been trying to collect those for awhile now

One of my all time favorites. I have it built right now.

4:38 i wouldn't call this rare, but rather annoying to get in good condition, which seems to be a common theme for any classic Lego sails i noticed, i still have mine from set 6057, but it's sadly in quite used condition, holes are intact and no discoloring, but has some folds.

You skipped the castle!

where are these magical flea markets where people offer old Lego from the 70s to the 90s? let alone WITH box/manuals, also, how do you get into people's attics? do you have contact ads for people to call you and be like "yo... i got some Lego's, come search through my attic" and you're like "okay..." like how does that work?

What a coincidence: I myself was also released in a limited edition in the Netherlands in 1978. 😅

Wow very, very nice vintage Lego finds! 😊😊😊 Here in my place, most used Legos youll find are modern ones...

Fantastic stuff Henry, looking forward to the videos for them all except that fire station 6554 ugh the plague of the juniorised stuff haha

Weetabix! I've always had a vague idea I have a promotional set mixed in with my collection, and Weetabix seems to ring a bell. Perhaps they also did a small set I saved up for? That town square set certainly looks familiar as well, but I'm sure that wasn't the set I had; I must've seen it a lot in promotional photos, though.

Cool update!

Exciting!

This is the best Airport.

I recently purchased a used boxed copy of this set for a very good price. I had both minifigures in my collection prior to this purchase because of bulk lot buys but the two I have now are in pristine condition. I was already in my Dark Age when this theme was released back in 1996. Lego found a clever way to connect all concurrent System themes of the era with this theme. One could also extend the time / dimension travelling aspect to other non Systems themes such as Duplo, Freestyle or Technic for Dr. Cyber, Timmy and Ali to visit! The stories one could come up with truly is endless! That being said, I loved building this set. The finished model is begging for customization. Having a bigger deck or cabin would go a long way to house Timmy and Ali (the monkey) during travel. Improving the crow's nest or maybe adding a few more lasers to the hull for some kind of defence. It's a good set and I'm glad you were able to review it here as well. I'm really liking what you're doing with vintage Lego set reviews.

I think the term front-end loader would be a better description for the set 6658.

if a Lego set has 2 numbers (which i first noticed with set 375) it was released in Europe first? and THEN later in the USA with a 2nd number added? why? why not just keep the same number with the USA release? also, i'd opt for replacing the entire flags, instead of trying to painstakingly peel them off.

great set, I still have my childhood copy, just missing a few pieces, mainly the figures itself need to be replaced, and for some reason i don't have the islander sail anymore, I do however still have the black and white sails, also missing the bow of the female islander.
