Is there some Lego compendium website anywhere?

Threaded View
Call this reminiscing but at least ten years ago I remember playing
with these cool arctic Lego sets.  I'm much too old to be playing with
them now (and indeed I think the pieces were given away to younger
relatives), but I'd still like to see pictures and such of the old
products.  Yet Lego's site just lists the sets they currently still
have in production.  Is there some Lego fansite somewhere that has a
long list of "out-of-print" Lego sets?  Thanks!

Thank you so much - I found exactly the set I was looking for!

Also, my most favorite package from any set was the following, which is
apparently rated the most favorite out of anything on the site!

Ahhh, I fondly remember that spaceship thingy.  I got it for my
birthday and it was by far the biggest Lego set I had gotten to date
(or since then, really).  It was fricking awesome.  It must have been
at least $50, too.  Alas, for some reason I took it apart, and now I'm
probably missing some of the parts as well as the assembly directions.
Gahhr.

WOW! If you're too old to be playing with them (Lego sets) now, you must be the
oldest person to post to this newsgroup. How old are you? You must be close to
100, if not older. <G>

I'm 57 and still building. My Western sets will be on display at Fall for
Fairfax on October 1. (That's in Fairfax, VA.)

The First Lego League is worth a look.

I was there two times in Germany and now I am a leader because I am too old
(18)...
