Everyone has a first LEGO set. weather it is a DUPLO train or a handmedown from
your older brother, every one has a memory of his or her first set. First LEGO
set was the 30013-1 Police Quad as a birthday present. I loved taking it apart
and putting it back together again and chasing invisible villains and bringing
them to justice! Then one day our dog got a hold of the police man and chewed
his head off.... Post your first LEGO set below!

Actually my first construction toy set was some random mega blok box of random
part we got second hand.

But my first set was,

*

256 Parts, 2013

And I was blown away with the parts used and the quality!

487-1 (Inv) Space Cruiser
158 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 1979

Recently i purchased my nephews collective lego collection, there is 3 brothers
and there not interested in it anymore. I was unaware that a small box of Lego
that was mine as a child was mixed in with it.

So i ended up finding numerous old space pieces in there, including many decorated
parts in great condition from this original set, more than 40 years later!!

I bought it for myself in the fall of 1998 when I was 23 years old.

I never had a single LEGO set growing up. But don't feel bad for me. The
toys I grew up with were Transformers (had almost every single character), He-Man
and the Masters of the Universe (had almost every single character), Hasbro Star
Wars (had almost all of the original figures, vehicles, and play sets), Micro
Machines, and yes... GoBots.

My very first set was 6644 Road Rebel and I had to share it with my sister.
With that first set we were both addicted! Every Christmas and Birthday all
we wanted was LEGO!

First one I actually had to myself was

 
Set No: 4995  Name: Cargo Copter
* 
4995-1 (Inv) Cargo Copter
272 Parts, 2008
Sets: Creator: Model: Airport

I wasn't allowed new LEGO sets growing up before then because my siblings
and I didn't get along and would hoard certain parts from a bucket of late
90's sets that was donated to us. Parents responded by throwing the hoarded
parts away.

I don't think I had one. My childhood LEGO was second hand, we had a bucket
full of it. But no sets, instructions, or boxes. Maybe that is why I have always
enjoyed building MOCs.

Not sure which sets were the first that I got. Looking through the catalog there
are some sets I owned that were released in the year I was born. I guess those
were still for sale when my parents decided that I was old enough to play with
Lego. Some of my earliest memories of Lego involve sets
 
Set No: 361  Name: Tea Garden Cafe with Baker's Van
* 
361-1 (Inv) Tea Garden Cafe with Baker's Van
211 Parts, 1974

I never had LEGO as a kid. The first set I ever worked on was
 
Set No: 7153  Name: Jango Fett's Slave I
* 
7153-1 (Inv) Jango Fett's Slave I
352 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 2002
Sets: Star Wars: Star Wars Episode 2

when I found it mostly built in a bin of loose LEGO from a rummage sale. I was
buying it for my son, but it led me to BrickLink.

The first set I bought just for myself was probably:
 
Set No: 10211  Name: Grand Emporium
* 
10211-1 (Inv) Grand Emporium
2154 Parts, 7 Minifigures, 2010
Sets: Creator: Creator Expert: Modular Buildings Collection

When I was a kid I played with Lego but that was back in the late 60's
early 70's when themes were not that prevalent and there wasn't much
of a variety of pieces so I just remember having Lego bricks in general and after
many years of not playing with them they just stayed in the past. Then about
15 years ago I had a friend that while being in his late 20's still loved
Lego. His appreciation of Lego would cause me to every once
in a while to stroll down the Lego isle at the local Walmart store and I eventually
decided to give Lego a try and bought this set:

 
Set No: 8098  Name: Clone Turbo Tank
* 
8098-1 (Inv) Clone Turbo Tank
1121 Parts, 6 Minifigures, 2010
Sets: Star Wars: Star Wars The Clone Wars

I was surprised at the tolerances used in the making of the pieces, the way doors
would pass by other pieces soo smoothly without catching on other pieces. Unlike
almost all other plastic toys, Lego seemed to care about quality. Another thing
that I really appreciated was how relaxing I found it to be to just sit down
after work and build part of a set while listening to music or watching a video.
I really enjoyed that.

First set I remember that was bought to me new was 6601-1, a small ice cream
cart. I had some second hand Legos before, but that was first that I got to choose
from a toy store.

Mine are 4 duplo buckets, don't know which one I got first:

 
Set No: 2245  Name: Farmhouse Bucket
* 
2245-1 (Inv) Farmhouse Bucket
46 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 1997
Sets: DUPLO: Basic Set

 
Set No: 2268  Name: Medium Bucket
* 
2268-1 (Inv) Medium Bucket
49 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 1998
Sets: DUPLO: Basic Set

Strange is that this one mine is in a yellow bucket:

 
Set No: 3036  Name: Large Bucket
* 
3036-1 (Inv) Large Bucket
69 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 1999
Sets: DUPLO: Basic Set

The fourth one lost all their side stickers, but was a yellow cube too.

I think the first lego item I was given was 6007
 
Set No: 6007  Name: Bat Lord
* 
6007-1 (Inv) Bat Lord
11 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 1997
Sets: Castle: Fright Knights
but the real building set was 6918
 
Set No: 6198  Name: Stingray Stormer
* 
6198-1 (Inv) Stingray Stormer
384 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 1998
Sets: Aquazone: Stingrays

My grandma gave it to me for Christmas, no idea how she decided on that specific
set, but I'm sure glad she did!

Made it through my set selloff and dark ages. Pulled it out and built it again
a couple years ago, still in great shape.
