Re: What was the FIRST lego set you got?
When I was a kid I was always confused by people who never took there LEGO sets apart.
no kidding! I have never been able to keep an actual set built for more than a week or so...

When I get a new set, I always build it once, and then take it apart immediately to build something on my own with the new parts.
I never can bring myself to pull apart a good set. They generally disintergrate as I use bricks from them.
Thats what happens to half of my sets i usually need pieces for a stop-motion and take them from my city... ![]()

LOL I'm one of those kids. It actually drives me nuts if I keep a set apart.
anyway...
That was my first set. I was 6 at the time, I built it in 10 minutes.
I had a police set
now i took that apart
My first set was a creator sea animals set-i was 4.My second was a ferrarri-when i was 5.
Well, I remember getting a box of lego bricks, and some assorted minifig bits from like 2005. My first set was the bus stop/pizza parlor set for LEGO City. I got that when I was about 8 or 9.

I don't necessarily remember.... but I know it was some time in 2003-ish.
It wasn't my first set-but it was the first set I remember thinking-I'm going to play with this toy for the rest of my life. I had gotten some sets when I was younger but they went into a metal tin and I threw away the instructions. From set 715 on I kept all instructions.
715 Basic Building Set
Even in fifth grade I used to save up my lunch money for the week and buy "dime bags" from my friends. These usually consisted of a few pirates/imperial soldiers and random lot of pieces. It was so much fun I don't remember missing the whole eating part. Of course, calling them what we did gave them an air of secrecy and naughtiness. Of course I paid for them under the table and had the baggies placed in my hand while we both looked around suspiciously. Good fun.

i think some of these sets were better made then some of the ones today

Fixed.
I agree, the classic sets were better than what they have today.
Not only that,but BIONICLE was good in 2001-2003,but then it started going downhill from there.
And yes,a lot of sets today are terrible.
