A look through a LEGO 1984 mini-catalog!

[@craigshillabeer3155]

I remember having 355 and the Siege Tower. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

[@Abadox20]

Good memories... I actually had the police and fire station from this catalogue. Sure went crazy with hundred of alternate builds!

[@KinaQuinquina]

This is real nostalgia for me. Me and my brother had most sets from the 80. The most from this year. The backhoe and truck were our favorites. Still have a soft spot for the LEGO city theme.

[@Wolfpack102]

Really great to see the 1984 catalogue again (despite the difference between the European and the US version). Hopefully You'll get fire station 6382 (1981), because it's really worth a good review. So glad my parents gave me this one over more than 30 years ago. Keep on going Jang.

[@BricksOfAwesome]

9:20 anyone notice the differential, that`s actually a really good design for one especially back in 1984.

[@FillmFilms]

The great thing about LEGO products is that they never stop improving and that has left a lasting impression on kids and adults alike for more than thirty years. That's what I'm talking 'bout!

[@grotezakhooi]

yo ! ive always collected the catalogs since 1985 or so :) love how the pages show some sort of playable moc with all the sets that came out and at the last pages you could order stuff . cool review ;)

[@ProdcutionsofEthanol]

I really enjoyed this Jang. Don't really have access to something like this myself. (Although I'm sure I could find it if I tried hard enough) but either way, seeing it in video form with your narration is awesome cuz you were alive back then and I wasn't :)

[@BFBeast666]

Wow, that sends me back HARD. I think my brother and I had most of the Castle sets. I definitely remember the King's Castle and it's hinges. You could swing that open wide. Good stuff.

[@subraxas]

I was born back in 1984..... and my first contact with Lego occurred in 1987..... it was a Fabuland set..... loved it. And by the way, the '87 Lego catalogue was much ampler in number and variety of sets than the '84 one, if I remember it right, and as the three years had passed, almost none of the '84 sets survived through to '87. I think that's when the Lego experienced yet another massive growth and development.... the late '80s.

[@maggotsitnspin]

I love vintage sets although I don't have any because they're really expensive! It looks like some of the 80's Town sets are in the LEGO City bonus level of LEGO Star Wars

[@MastorusGamingPlays]

I really like seeing these old stuff by you :) It doesn't really a nostalgia for me becouse I wasn't born in 80s, but we all know that LEGO is a big company. But in that time, they weren't, and they are just like any other toy company. I like that too :)

[@graciethomas5299]

Thanks

[@QueenNoTeetha151]

Wow! I had some of that stuff! I was 9! Thanks so much for showing this!! Memory lane! :D

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

I have learned 1984 was the first year the Universal Building Sets were available here in the US. The small 8020 set was the only truly new addition this year, as sets 8030 and 8050 (the latter with the electric motor included) were actually first sold in Europe two years before we got them. The "Technic" label, although it was first used on the Expert Builder line in Europe since 1982, was not adopted by Lego USA until 1986. One of the Euro market sets that didn't make it here was the very large 8090, although it did make it into Canada (at that time they still had a distribution deal with the Canadian arm of Samsonite, which continued there until 1985, as opposed to 1972 for us). 1985 saw the addition of the 8040 Pneumatic set, and then the same year we got the "Technic" series label for the first time, the original 8030 and 8050 sets were replaced by the 8035 and 8055 sets respectively.

[@Wonderfulbricks]

Cool video, classic space is awesome!

[@riceninja1506]

I wish they still had idea books today. It's always cool to see things that are older than myself.

[@FillmFilms]

Totally agree with you! The book of LEGO ideas that they have now is cool, but it doesn't have what you could do with pieces from specific sets.

[@stevenmanchester2104]

Actually there ARE idea books out there, check Wal-mart in the book section. I saw a hardcover idea book there some time last year (2013)

[@FillmFilms]

Yes I have one of them but it's not that awesome

[@throw1932]

I like how they made custom base plates for different sets such as the Exxon gas station and fire station.

[@debal.incstudios9377]

Can you possibly review the cargo center please?

[@bernatcamps7130]

Jang it would be awesome if you review medern (2013-2014) lego technic sets. Anyways awesome vid dude!

[@AlbertoDsign]

So Robotix took the original design of the Lego 6950 Mobile Rocket Transport (7:20) to design their 1996 Lunar Launcher! Curious!

[@haxpet]

So much nostalgia, I can remember that I had set 6030, 6382, 6373, 6971, 6930, 4005, 8020 and 8845. Many of them where so nice. But today sadly all of them are just in pieces and I don't think I can rebuild even one of them as there will be parts missing or even broken.

[@privateagent]

Do it, it will be worth it

[@bricktoons7080]

I have ALOT and I mean ALOT of classic space sets and I have like a million moon crater platforms :)

[@zekb6382]

Awesome review love the flash backs

[@TheCraigster101]

Jang were you born in 1976 or 1977? I love this video, I had the technic 8860 car and it was awesome. Thanks for the great blast of the past!

[@privateagent]

The 80's were my gold age of Lego. Didn't have many, few survived, but the classic smile of the minifigs gets me every time

[@HornyDude83]

hmmm that catalog is unusually pristine considering its over 30 years old!

[@creamysmooth79]

Amazing. Watching that video just hit me hard with nostalgia and turned me into a 5 year old for the duration of the vid :-)Thanks Jang.

[@SunbeamsSting]

Awesome catalog!

[@LM-1378]

Very neat!

[@walter0bz]

fast forward .. 6:08 thats' more like it. SPACESHIP!!

[@AI-nv6rg]

I' ve got half of these space set when I was child but I'm still waiting fot the other half:) let me push my parents for Christmas gifts

[@frederikvandaele6374]

Great these flashbacks, my nephew had all the early technic sets, I wasn't allowed to even come near to it(was 5 at the time), BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[@legoreviewertv]

Will you do more catalogs? Like 2002 2003 etc

[@farukon986]

Those spaceships on the cover appear to be in a dogfight!

[@nbcombat8176]

If you saw the recent elite police battle pack with a metal detector the space set 6701 had the metal detector . It is a long lost piece! !!!!!!!!!!!

[@lucythe2cv]

Why did Cypress trees become so sought after? Is it simply because they were only in a few sets? Lego promotional photos always show dozens of them in the background.

[@privateagent]

I don't know, but I am a fan of those.

[@HornyDude83]

I had Castle Lion :)

[@throw1932]

I have the battery box set somewhere.

[@audiotron1003]

shame you are not in the UK as our family has some of those trees. and they wouldn't cost 25 dollars!!

[@TheTreyBlue]

can you make a mok-up with your lego space

[@RC_GAMING9]

The kid in the yellow jumper is the kid from chucky lol

[@nbcombat8176]

I hope you read my comments about the metal detector

[@Thomasproano1]

Hey er jang...this probably sounds really stupid but here it goes...err..can the music throughout the video be..a little more...Jazzy, happy, uplifting, you know what i mean...oh gosh that sounds so dumb...hehe

[@morelenmir]

It is strange this information that Technic was not labelled as such before 1984 - I clearly recall getting 894 new in autumn/early winter 1979 and it being called 'Technic' by the person selling it. VERY weird indeed!!! Maybe it was a regional thing or just an informal label before the term stuck officially... I don't know but it is interesting to learn. Maybe its a false memory!

[@JANGBRiCKS]

Most references I can find indicate that the Technic brand was introduced during calendar year 1984. Box art photos from sets of the time show some with the Technic label on them, some without, so that seems to have been the transitional year.

[@morelenmir]

I believe you Jang! Its just... odd! I clearly recall it being called Technic by my parents, who were worried it would be too complicated for me. SO strange. As I say it could well be a false memory.

[@nbcombat8176]

Did you do reviews on the Ferrari lego sets if you didn t then you should

[@verrucktmonkey9558]

I had the king's Castile

[@jacobswofford8887]

I have some legoland catalogs

[@Glibzer]

[@bernatcamps7130]

Oh, come on, dude! Video ends at 10:51. Anyways is mamba (not mwmbua) moster 220 kw motor. You shoud improve your calygraphy.

[@Glibzer]

if you were on ultimaterc.com you would understand the joke

[@BricksOfAwesome]

Wow even an American calls themselves 'Yanks' I thought if you called a Texan a Yank you`ed get punched in the face or something. If they were a mean Texan but, you get the idea.

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

It's a colloquial term.

[@mrkhizo2451]

Ahhhhhh

[@jesssse3345]

I THINK you are 37

[@SC-hb2gv]

Gyyrr
