Hello Lego friend, did you know that Lego pieces from the 80s can contain toxic substances cadmium?

I was lucky to be given this set as a child. Like all my old Lego, I still have the pieces. I think it seemed quite advanced to me at the time!

I have a personal anecdote about the garage set! I was given one as a Christmas (?) present. We were staying at my grandparents' house in a small village. The house was very old, and the little guest bedroom I slept in could only be accessed through another bedroom. Anyway, to keep me quiet when I woke up on the big day, I was allowed to have one or two small presents in the room, for me to open when I woke up without disturbing any of the adults. Either there was no electric light in the room, or I wasn't tall enough to reach the switch, so I put the set together in near darkness, with just the early morning light coming through a small window. Because of the dim light, I actually thought the garage was blue until I got to see the completed set in proper light later in the morning. I was so confused! 🤣 As well as allowing for more creativity, I think there would have been a simple commercial reason for the garage having two rectangular baseplates: it meant the set could be sold in a smaller box. Retailers wouldn't be happy with a small set that required a larger box. I also had the snack bar set. I think the sign got snapped at some point, a problem with those signs and presumably the reason they stopped using them. There was also a set of assorted road signs that I had, and I think one or two of those also got broken over time. I was fairly careful with my Lego, but I was lucky to have a lot of it, and when you're really playing with it all it only takes one step for an easily breakable piece to get stepped on...

By coincidence, I was starting to write my comment when you showed the Snack Bar, which I was going to mention. I think this set was intended as an updated replacement for that earlier set. By the way, in (British) English, that type of tape is called parcel tape. Duct (or gaffer) tape is something else. Thank you for showing this nice little set. Although it's a shame the box wasn't in the best condition, having it at all is really a bonus. I can't have been unusual in getting rid of the boxes for my small sets when I was a child back then! Sadly, although I kept all my instruction leaflets and booklets, I had to throw them away several years ago, as mould had got in to where they were stored.

Thanks for all the job we like Lego especially the classic one

That 6358 fire truck box is simply timeless. I bought this year's 60409 Crane simply because it reminded me of something, but I wasn't sure what. Now I know.

what the f...ortune! Wonderful haul! So, you found all those sets in flea markets? In Italy in flea markets... I can't found neither fleas! xD xD xD

Exploriens Starship 6982 is my biggest dream of all Lego sets since childhood. I managed to fulfill my dream some time ago and got myself an MISB with perfect box. This is my treasure :D

Nice retro LEGO collection!😁

I wish I could subscribe twice! ;) Groetjes Jur!

Wowww exciting! You have the best Lego channel out there, and your collection is unbelieveable

Ah yes, the golden age of lego....

Also where do you mostly find these sets

Some sets have a much better alternative build on the back of the box than the official one. For example, the Taxi garage.

Fun fact! That minifigure in that mazerk truck, the minifigure costs over 120$ because the hat is in a rare color.

Just leave the tape on it, its giving some charm to it

Vary cool! This is a awesome find

Very nice set, and review. Thanks too your videos i bought that burger stand you showed last time from 1983 :D

There is small building mistake you made in the roof, step 9, where you place the 1x6 bricks next to the the other row of bricks and not leave a gap. That is why they don't support the 2x3 slopes and the roof tries to collapse when you place the top row of slopes. But great video and shows how sellers are trying to scam buyers with sets missing parts and wrong parts.

Very nice set

There something in this set that I love and it's still on my wishlist. The exterior is so great that I want to build a little towm made only of those types of houses, some kind of suburban area. Minus of it is this set interior is very very poor :/

Thanks Henry, growing up i had 6349 but apart from the base plate its gone. I got this one recently but without box etc and think i prefer it- the small windows rhe shutters and the proper car...im interested to hear yout opinion in your video of 6349 anyway thanks again

For some reason I loved the look of this set when I was a kid, although I never owned it. I still think it looks good today; the only way it could be improved is to change or hide the stepped underhang of the roof. Thanks for the video!

beautiful retro review! I love the parkdrive, where you can build the side buildings without let them on the table... do you understand, today sets? 🙄 I've got the second villa, but this is impressive, too! It's hardly to believe, but... those are the only big houses to live in town! The other ones are smaller or just holiday houses... PS: I've just bought "6372 - Town House" with box for a very very very small price... I can't believe it! 🤑🤑🤑

Nice retro LEGO video!

I had this, and it was my favorite!! Sooo many hours I played with it!!!

Also I think this is the first time I've seen a lego bed like this in an official set:D

Thank you again for your lovly videos Henry! I missed them :) and exciting to see a glimpse of what's coming up! What do you think the red tile in the kitchen represents?

How can I get one like this? it's a dream I like the Lego vintage

Thanks for this. I just found mine in the loft and am going to "try" and build it!

It is a nice castle anyway. Your review is magnificent. You tell de measurements so that it gives an idea about the size of the castle. Greetings from Limburg, Belgium.

The stickers on the flags are upside down. :-( Still a very nice haul!

I like this set, have this as well. Paid a bit more for a set that was in worse condition than advertised (got a partial refund) and no box 😅 For 5€ with a OK box it's a steal.

I had the two last ones, and I played sooo much whit them!! BTW: you put the arm for the excavator upside down, you would be able to 'operate' it up and down with a finger or two from upside.

Box is a massacre to my eyes and me Lego soul, but thanks for showing this wonderful little set :)

Henry thanks for another great video. I was meaning to ask you about your lego collection period - from the playlist is it 70-96? how come you stop at 96 when I think town continued till 99 or were there v few sets then? my favourite period is 78-84 but I like a few things in the late 80s and the harbour stuff from 91

Cool retro lego preview!😊

A better solution is to build a time machine, go back to before the person puts the tape on the box. Intervene and become a hero! You're welcome :)

One of the best toys ever! I spent many, many hours building and rebuilding this one. An iconic Lego set.

Lego was fun back then. Mostly simple, blocky parts simply stacked on one another--and a whole lot of imagination. Now, Lego sets are more like model kits for people who don't want to build actual model kits. Nice to see this old gem!

Small set, and still better then all of today's sets...

i've got this set ! :D

What a surprise. This was my first Lego set that my mom bought me 1985 or. 1986. :). Good old memories.

wow,nice set

6235 was my 1st pirate set as a kid. I think I got it 1990.

Nice set, and nice review ! When I buy a used set, I wash the pieces to remove dust. You should do the same...

This is so cool that it is sealed from 1993 and I got theses 4 sealed old Lego 3 of them where from 1999 and one was from 2000 the 1999 ones where car micanic one the one from 2000 and it's a bulldozer

You are doin the right thing, LEGO (and other things) are worthless if just boxed up. Thanks for sharing the experience. I have fond memories opening those bags as a child.

💚💚💯🥰☺👍👏,from Portugal !!!!

Love videos of opening old MISB boxes. Thank you for sacrificing profit/investment value for our viewing pleasure 😃
