My connection with Lego
I have been playing with Lego as long as I can remember, and as a child I dreamed of becoming a “Lego engineer”. I also spent many long hours looking through Lego catalogs and I still enjoy them immensely.My favorite time period for Lego ranges from the Plan Packs of the mid 1960’s through the Town sets of the mid 1980’s. I still buy new sets occasionally, but most of the time I find myself playing with the old Lego, especially from the 1970’s.
Parts I am looking for
I buy mostly used parts but will also buy brand new parts in cases where there have been no major mold variations. One newer variation I have not been able to get used to are the hollow pins found underneath 1-wide bricks, and unfortunately some other parts too:
I am always looking for stores that make a distinction in their listings. Since there are a variety of terms used for the “pin” (peg, tube, post, bar, rod, support, inner stud), I search sellers’ comments for the single keyword “solid”. I also use Goatleg.com to conduct more specific solid-pin searches.
My preferences as a buyer
If you don’t have an item on hand,Also, please set the Order Status to “Shipped” when you have sent the order. This way, I can “Complete” the order and file it once it has arrived.
