A look through a LEGO 1982 mini-catalog!

[@KFXG]

Seeing stuff like this is pretty interesting. I always enjoy looking back at old advertisements and catalogs. It can be very nostalgic.

[@xfilethe]

I began collecting the free lego catalogs they put out 2ce a year when i was 10 to 15. Proud to say i have most of them and they are in plastic folders. Although I'm missing some and some also have been written in. That was in the old days when i still got one lol. Now i generally get 5 which 1 will never be used. And yes when you look back and see the now somewhat 15 years that have passed its funny to see what rocked our tiny worlds as kids lol.

[@BrickTsar]

It's like taking a walk through my basement. Back then I thought Susan Williams was a real person.

[@Yorah95]

very interesting. this gives a good perspective of what lego used to be and how it has grown over the decades.

[@JayByrd2011]

I had that helicopter on the second page. This brings back some great memories! Thanks Jang.

[@Jimfoxyboy]

I still have quite a few of these mini-catalogs, some in Danish even. As well as a few others from various years. I also miss the road plates too. They did make a newer version in which the road was wider so as to fit the bigger bodied models that were coming out.

[@DynamiteNarwhal]

I love how all the sets include huge baseplates! Today none of the city sets have any extra walking area or baseplates just for playing with.

[@Abadox20]

I actually had the 6382 fire station, really loved that set and used to build several versions of that station as it had lots of bricks for that time!

[@rikhorror]

A dive in the old days. Thank you JANGBRiCKS !

[@kyleknight9686]

I'm fairly certain I have this catalog still! Cool to see it here!

[@Kastrenzo74]

I remember when almost all sets came with a catalogue I'm not too crazy over the 80s vehicles, but I like the 80s buildings.

[@jaydaace101]

My brother was 10 years older than me and I remember when I was little in the 90s I saw all of those old catalogs and wondered why I couldn't get that cool stuff!!

[@gumbygreen14]

This is an awesome idea for a video, I hope to see more like this that focus on the history of lego product waves.

[@recordplayer45rpm]

I have many of these set complete and still love them. The cowboy minifigure from Main Street will not stand up because of heavy use of in and out of the car.

[@BeardedNerdSE]

Awesome video! I had loads of those among my first Lego of my own (I got a bunch of used 70's sets to start off). I had the Auto Repair Shop, the Fire Copter, the Ambulance and the Mobile Rocket Transport. It's interesting to note how there are only yellow, white and red space guys by this point. No Benny.

[@SunbeamsSting]

Wow nice! 555 Taylor Road Enfield, CT is still LEGO USA.

That Classic Space spread was a major flashback for me. I had (ok, have) #6880, #462, #6929, two #6842 and a #6870. Good thing I also have a five-year-old...

[@Copernicus27]

Awesome review Jang. If you've got some more old Lego catalogs laying around, I'd love to see "look-throughs" on those too.

[@nicholaslapointe1776]

I have all the legos my dad had as a kid I have the tug boat, fireboat, as well as many town and space sets

[@kikivoorburg]

wow... this comes out the day after my friend gives me a 1980 catalog in perfect condition! it doesn't even have a fold through the centre!!

[@benskelly1217]

That's cool, it's nice to see vintage LEGO merchandise! Keep making videos! You are one of my most favorite channels! :-D

[@Andy85uk]

I used to love looking at those moc pages with all the sets from a theme in one picture, picking out all those tiny details in the background. Also I think we can safely blame Americans for the whole "Legos" thing, I never hear people from Europe say that.

[@NickonPlanetRipple]

Oh my gosh, I actually used to have one of these.

[@TrainzXtreme]

NO LEGOS! Love it! :)

[@LM-1378]

I really wonder what the retail price on these would be nowadays with inflation

[@Wonderfulbricks]

Cool sets at 4:24!

[@DoraKage]

erhmagerd!!!! nostalgia overload! XD

[@fminyoutube]

Thank you for this Jang!!!!!

[@zekb6382]

Awesome do more old school catalog reviews jang

[@tubejorrit]

Wow I had the firestation (2:22) and some other small sets. And I was born in 86 :P

[@andybricks576]

thank you so much Jang, It was neat see the things I remember from back then like the sets I had, 6690 and the set I wanted from LEGOLAND town like 6363, but my main interest was space lego, not legos,

[@DarkOmega150]

In the UK no one calls it LEGOS.

[@thefallenbee]

Yeah I've seen it a couple of times but no one really says it.

[@colinhenninger4604]

Spaceship spaceship Benny from the Lego movie lol

[@jacobchapman4405]

Some guy says Legos "whoa! We got a badass over here!"

[@KFXG]

It would be hilarious if someone sent in a mail order in to Lego today, and they sent them their set haha.

[@greedy44]

I'm pretty sure if that you fill in your order properly they'll help you! I had back those days bulldozer tracks (at min 9:11) ordered because those where in stock on the pictures but not available in real Lego sets. Like also the old style lightning, motor and big batterybox. And yes i built motorised battletanks with it! ;)

[@axeonvonshadow539]

I got the storage case in my room, i got it from my brother.

[@bricktacularbrickster7470]

You can buy streets at the Lego store

[@slimeperson6513]

Wow! this very recent!

[@ninjatacoshark]

I don't get why they wouldn't want to people to say lego bricks '"legos" because its cool that a brand is so recognized that people refer to the product as a specific brand

[@LM-1378]

It's normally seen as degrading the brand name. There's a fine line between being affectionate and being insulting.

[@ChikenTerminaror]

I have the old polis station, and jang can you build a mech for Blanko

[@trex0n35]

i found the galaxy explorer at value vilage

[@tateellinwood]

I agree with Susan Williams, I hate when people say LEGOs

[@evanw7032]

You've been playing the knive game (telling by the scab on your left hand) haven't you?

[@luminodrago]

I know someone who has the Exxon Gas Station set

[@zantafiocorp]

Somebody should make a documentary "finding Susan Williams"....

[@shortround551]

STOP WITH 'LEGOS'... Love it xD

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

It's like calling any brand of vacuum cleaner in the UK a Hoover, or any kind of portable circular saw a Skilsaw, or any kind of weed and grass trimmer a Weed Eater.

[@jessieerickson4247]

i wish i got thoes trees for 250 each back then those days were the best!

[@edwinpicado172]

Don't you mean 2.50? I mean,_$250.00 is outrageous!

[@Lucaslegos1]

I still have many fabuland sets

Go back in time to 1982 and buy up the stuff.Trouble is,that in 1982,my wages were £48 a week.Go forward to 2040,wages are £1k a week.A LEGO set will be £999.00.Enjoy what you have,when you have it!

[@ethanfox7851]

Back then they had loads of buildings and now we have none

[@CrystalEN7]

SPACESHIP! SPACESHIP! SPACESHIP!

[@parkercook8326]

I have the fire station base plate

[@jonwhitley8724]

[@DiMoNico1981Swe]

Cool hahaa.. I was 2 years old lol heheh

[@jacobchapman4405]

I have a stack of the those old base plates over a foot tall I measured it because I'm cooler than that "popular" kid :P

[@helenurquhart2375]

hey lego .................................................. lego :D

[@marioabando1663]

It was cool when lego city wasnt lego police and firemans

[@paolosantinocaoile]

I think the old idea of lego giving optional builds from the sets is being carried on by the other fake legos and other brick companies.

[@Squiddlewheel]

No legos!>:(

[@Luvythicus]

Wait, those trees are worth that much? I have some of them!

[@WhosWeaponized]

how many

[@Luvythicus]

I dunno, pro'lly a handful or two!

[@WhosWeaponized]

sell them and keep 1 i had 4 and sold 3 and i made $100

[@Luvythicus]

I'll just sell em all, I don't really do anything with em anyway, I like the newer Lego stuff, haha

[@WhosWeaponized]

fine but I will say put thm on brick link and also put half on ebay or amazon

[@Teridax467]

french is easier, the "s" is silent ^^

[@LM-1378]

But you're still saying "jouer avec des legos"

[@nicholaslapointe1776]

Oops i said legos

[@jessieerickson4247]

It was not long and boring jang

[@TheMasterOfMovie]

What's the problem with saying LEGOs? I don't get it...

[@TheMasterOfMovie]

Ah, okay, thanks for answering!

[@jruonti]

+TheMasterOfMovie Where did the answer go? I am interested too. Sounds weird.

[@TheMasterOfMovie]

It's still there: "If a trademarked word becomes a common enough generic phrase the company could lose its trademark, thus allowing other companies could use it. Aspirin, laundromat, and videotape all used to be trademarks and have become generic."

[@jruonti]

Thanks. KZbin decided not to show it to me.
