Vintage LEGO®
Vintage LEGO®: old sets with a story
Vintage LEGO® is all about the sets many adults played with as children. Think of the LEGOLAND vehicles with the first minifigures from 1978, the blue and gray trains, the dollhouse-like Homemaker sets, and the animal figures from Fabuland. Old LEGO® sets are popular with collectors, but also with parents who want their children to build with the same bricks.
A vintage LEGO® set is often decades old. That’s why De BrickPlaats describes the condition of every product: are all the parts there, have the bricks discolored, and are the box and building instructions included? This way, you know whether you’re buying a complete collector’s set or a set to play with.
Old LEGO® trains and sets from the 1970s and 1980s
A popular category is old LEGO® trains. From the 12V era of the 1980s, you’ll find, among others, the 12V Locomotive (727), the Electric Passenger Train (7725), the Postal Container Wagon (7819), switches, level crossings, and the Lighting Set Electric 12v (7861). Modern trains can be found at LEGO® Trains and Tracks.
Classic LEGO® sets from the 1970s and 1980s include the Shell Service Station (648) and Shell Tank Truck (688), the Articulated Lorry (683), the Double Tanker (644), the Spirit of St. Louis (661), the Ambulance (338), and the Road Repair Crew (214). The Homemaker range includes the Doctor's Office (276).
Fabuland, Belville, and vintage minifigures
Fabuland, the line of animal figures from 1979 to 1989, is well represented with sets such as the Amusement Park (3681), the Classroom (3645), the Flower Stand (3715), and Buster Bulldog's Fire Engine (3638). Find more at LEGO® Fabuland. From the 1990s, you’ll find Belville, including Prince Justin (5811).
To search by year of release, browse the year collections, such as LEGO® from 1978 or LEGO® from 1985. Classic space sets can be found at LEGO® Space, and old trucks and cars from around 1980 can also be found at LEGO® Town.
