This takes me back. These ideas books were also a treat.

'it almost hurts!' Looking at that awesome space base - YES that is just the feeling I get too. Thanks Jang!

I had this as a kid, that giant spacebase made me drool as a 8 year old.... still does! but you needed sooo many peaces for that! I was very fortunate as a kid and had a huge collections of classic space. But no way i could come even close to building it back in the day!

Wow this is a blast from the past! Nice 👍

these idea books do what their supposed to do 30 years and more ago, give inspiration. i feel inspired, thanks for reviewing this jang

Thanks JANG for the classic space overload. I actually had that book. Sure brings back memories. I wish they would bring back classic space

I like how there was thought to make the builds mostly more complex the further you got through the book.

9:35 I love how the police officer smiles as he gets carried into the ambulance.

I loved to build my own creations even as a kid, but I was always aware that everything looked blah to me. The colors and shapes just weren't right. Now I'm just thrilled with all the changes the Friends line has brought. But I do love this concept of showing you some instructions and then a large scene. I might copy that idea ;D

In this and an earlier idea book review, you commented a couple times about the "focus on" the primary colors. Maybe you don't remember, but at that time, those basically were /all/ the colors. My brother and I acquired about 35k pieces between the mid-'70s and '92, mostly in the '80s. Before moving them from my parents' house, I took a photo. There was one bin full of transparent parts, another with plant parts (green and brown), the brown boat hulls and a few other pieces from the Pirates line, and some brown minifig tools. Oh, and some horses were brown. The rest-probably 32k+ of those pieces-was a sea of red/blue/yellow/white/grey/black. That was it-everything was those six colors with the occasional special piece in green or brown. Colors outside of those 8-and green and brown were very rare, only used for a handful of pieces-didn't really start showing up until the late '80s. Tan and dark grey were still exotic colors in '92 (let alone '87).

I love when you do the old ones. Thanks so much for doing these!!!

I have that book also! Glad that there are several fans and owners of it!

I have a lego Adventurers puzzle book from the late 1990s. The puzzles may be easy, and the story may be for little kids, but I'm never going to give it up!!!

Oh love those, thanks Jang for bringing my childhood back, and love to brick constructs

Wow! That half hour felt like three minutes! Sooo much classic space and classic Kingdom. Man, they should pick it up again. Maybe 3 sets each theme. Who doesn't want a castle? But i feel left out for years now.

Thanks for posting this one. This brings me way back. Cheers!

Love the truck from 7:02 , I'm planning on building it

I have this same idea book and I was flipping through it the other day and it occurred to me, many of the things they present to you are nearly unattainable. I was thinking, which sets would I need to build each one of these ideas? Specifically it got my attention the spaceship at 16:50. The vertical hinges used to attach the double canopies, that piece didn't exist in light gray in 1987!! Not in classic space or any other theme!! It wasn't until 1999 or 2000 that a set came out with that piece in light gray. What do you think about that? Not to mention that to build this spaceship (and many other ideas) you would need about four or five of the large sets of that era!! Just take a look at all those arrow tiles, and four wing pieces. To get those you would need the Solar Power Transporter 6952, the Gamna V laser Craft 6891 and the FX Star Patroller 6931. Not to mention that the gray cockpit piece was exclusive to the Intergalactic Command Base (6971). Also take a look at the spread where they show you the large blue base. Take a look at the pieces used, especially the windows with yellow glass. How many sets (and duplicates!!) would do you need to replicate that!! Of course I'm aware that these are just building ideas, but come on.. It's like they are suggesting buy, buy, buy!! 😂😂😂 Great ideas nevertheless, of course you can modify them to your liking.

Yay! I still have my copy of that book!

Oh man I totally had that book. Still have a blue 1x4 with that ice cream sticker on it

When people nowadays say that Lego sucks now and it used to be so cool back when it was just primary colors and basic bricks, I really can't fathom why they think that. These were cool and all, for their day. But as a kid these kind of basic sets held my attention for so much less time because it was so limiting in what you could convincingly build. Lego now is just objectively better because you can still make everything from this book if you really want - and also a near infinite number of other things that couldn't have even been conceived of. Just try making a Millennium falcon out of those pieces. I just don't get it.

JANGBRICKS great video ! I think the planes are my favorite to build !

You really do get a kick out of watching these Lego idea books! I got to admit, those Lego space bases are really awesome! Shame they didn't come with instructions to build them, but these books are very interesting!

I remember these builds. I think i have this book too o.O So many memorys.

You have to build a complex sci-fi base for PDF! Imagine how cool it would be!

the semi truck at 6:50 looks like g1 Optimus prime

I had this one! I took it with me everywhere!

Hi Jang. The Ice Cream "Stickers" are actually a print. Awesome vid as usual!!!!

No way! I have that same exact one! My uncle gave me all of his old parts and sets and this was one thing he gave me. Wow. Mine seems to be in better condition however...

6:52: "It's Optimus Prime!" ... And it's from the 80's... Awesome!

19:00 My friend build this :D 8studs.wordpress.com/2016/09/11/stacja-serwisowo-paliwowa-ib-250-by-amal/ He build the second base one as well!

Jang I love legos and I have over 450 mocs and I prefer 6 stud wide builds for more detail

Great video

30 year old stickers. Do they still stick??? Pretty Classic LEGO System style building here, a simpler time without so many unique parts, may seem limiting to some, but this was my LEGO. Although I didn't own much from that era, I was just turning 5 around 87, so I didn't have much, more of the 90's era sets were what I got, with a few late eighties numbers. Loved what I had, awesome looking books like this always excited though.

Cool

I have a 1970s trends & events and things like that book.

good stuff jang.

Jangbricks, will you make another Lego City Tour soon? (Also great video)

13:40 I used to have some of these doors

Jangbicks is my favorite you tuber

Jang, You should build some of those and show us.

1987: Bite of '87, or the year when they do those flashbacks in, in Psych.

Cool

I looked all around and cant find my original book =(. I did find my 260 guide at least. And i found the stickers for both at the very least. Wish i had more of those big old black 4.5v basic motors. those things are beasts in small trains.

My nostalgia comes from mostly the original agents theme and the knights kingdom sets

6:38 and here we see Optimus Prime, in The development stage

Yep Branco was around

Muito bom o ídeo!! Abraços!!

That space base looks great even by todays standards. I want to build that.. but blue is the color I have the least of xD

I liked the old style of lego manuals better than the new ones. I like how they put the finished diagram on the page itself. Do you agree Jang?

At the 28:00 minute mark-ish .... I think the word JANGBRICKS is looking for is "Palanquin" ?

You need to work on the PDF base. Get it knocked out!

That unidentified thing on pages 14/15 is probably a dredging barge.

Hey Jang!

i still have this book.. somewhere

i still have this book.. somewhere

4:45 Stop the pigeon! Stop the pigeon! Stop the pigeon! Stop the pigeon! Stop the pigeon!

Do you look throught the catalogs before the Video or are these your first impressions in the videos?

Would do please do a review of slave1 8097

Make a custom planetary defense train please

JANGBRICKS

Hey everyone, hope you're having a great day.

do lego city staff again

Well, why not build that classic space scene and review that?

7:07 To me that looks like a Jeep with a fuel barrel inside, perhaps

Why hello there. Good video. Goodbye now🙃

I subscribed to you.

👌

I HAVE THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

They don't make these sets the way they used to.

WOW THAT IS OLD :D

+JANGBRICKS please can you add a music store to you're city

the exon truck sorta reminds me of Optimus prime

Ich habe 2 von diesen heften !!
