LEGO® from 1985
LEGO® 1985: Classic Space and a vibrant city
The Cosmic Comet 6825 gives this year's collection a recognizable Classic Space look. In the same release year, you'll also find other space models, such as Crater Crawler 6826 and Surface Hopper 6806. A set number helps you find a specific design among the various small space vehicles.
For a classic street scene, Fire House-I 6385 offers another point of reference. Combine your interest in fire stations with the city models available, such as Weekend Home 6370 and Post-Station 6689. The year links these sets, while their roles in a city or space world differ.
LEGO® trains 7715, 7735 and 7745 from 1985
Are you looking for LEGO® 7735, 7715 or 7745? Here you can compare the relevant train models: Freight Train 7735, Push-Along Passenger Steam Train 7715 and High-Speed City Express Passenger Train 7745. A freight train, a push-along train and a passenger train each offer a different option for your layout.
First choose the model that suits your collection, then check the included parts. The name push-along for 7715 indicates that it is a push-along train. For none of the listings should you automatically assume that a motor, power supply or complete track layout is included; compare the described contents and system with your existing layout.
A recognizable example for your collection
For a loose minifigure, the code, torso print and type of headgear help you find the correct version. For a complete set, the set number and described contents are especially important. For example, the Cosmic Comet listing mentions an alternative box with the original booklet.
This collection focuses on 1985 and therefore does not include every release from the 1980s. For an earlier point in the decade, continue to LEGO® from 1980. This lets you compare the models by year and keeps it clear which release you're looking for.
