I'm working on a classic space micro scale cruiser; I couldn't resist all those classic space pieces. All going to plan I'll post it tomorrow.

If only my mom had saved my childhood collection. I can just imagine how happy I would be to add all those older, rarer, peanut butter smelling (is it just me?) bricks to my collection. Oh the ideas that must be filling your head now. Good times. ~cheers

oh the classic space stuff!

More awesomeness on the way I see.

I love the idea of working from a limited pallete. I have a lot of bricks from my childhood mixed with all the bricks that my son has bought and I like the challenge of building things without buying more when things dont' look exactly like I won't them to. By the way, I'm loving your creations. They're very unique.

Oh yeah wow, cool collection of old stuff! I think i remember a few of those from my own childhood :-D

Happy homecoming, David! As soon as I saw this, I knew it had to be you. That's larger than I was expecting. I recognize those booklets. I had some of those as a kid. I also see that you took much better care of your LEGO pieces as a kid than I did. When I got out my childhood pieces, there were so many that were so damaged that I couldn't use them for anything. Enough with my own nostalgia. I see a lot of really interesting classic space pieces in your collection and can't wait to see what you do with them.

I spent 2 and 1/2 hours sorting and barely scratched the surface. Not only are there so many pieces, they are all old pieces I loved. Our house smells of my childhood now. Understand regarding the rating - it seems weird to me that this has been liked more than some of my MOCs.

You just went up about 1000 parts or so. No rating, since it isn't technically a MOC, but still, good loot.

Classic space man I miss those old sets. and You are so lucky.

Score! Time to get crackin'!

That's a very nice stash you have there;)

Awwwww shoot.

Now I'm sorting it, I'm finding odd bricks of Tente, some Star Wars figures and other refugees from my childhood.

I bet you are beside yourself with excitement. I can imagine how many MOCs you are going to pump out now!

Wow!
