...and it got me wondering. Does anyone know if someone has made a big Lego city
without using parts introduced after 1980ish? That would be fun to see,

Janey Red Brick and friends built every scene/every page of the 6000 book not
too many years ago. I believe they used only parts featured in the book, so
all 1980ish.

Sorry, I dunno if photos exist.

I built all the idea book and displayed it in part in 2012 and complete 2013
and 2014. Missing from the pictures are the antenna which were left at home...

https://www.flickr.com/photos/asbpics/albums/72157645805524096

the hardest - but not most expensive was the large 10 x 20 bricks 700

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=700eD#T=C

that were no widely available in the US and used multiple times (I think 7 or
8)


I also created scenes from the catalog the following year

https://www.flickr.com/photos/asbpics/albums/72157690162303892/with/40069243092/

And perhaps the same year and/or year after every city set from the 80s. There
is a video somewhere but the pictures are lacking.

It was fun. The set up was time consuming. I still have all the 6000 items, but
have sold most of the 80s sets.
