I think that 6086 is the best looking of all the castles - it takes all the strands of castle design of the previous 8 years and weaves them into an elegant whole. While it is neither as stable nor as flexible as 6080 or 6085, which decreases its play value, I cannot fault its appearance. Although t...

Great set - it has great play value with two factions well represented, and I like the appearance of both the castle and the catapult. Since I don't own the set I can't judge its functionality but I've heard both good and bad. Too bad there were so few modular sets with black walls. While I like 606...

I think the islanders added a third dimension to the pirate line, just like forestmen did for castle (it was no longer just soldier vs pirate, or one knight vs another) and thus helped to flesh out the line. The sets have great play value (particularly 6278 and 6264) as well as some neat ideas. Howe...

Red/yellow lion barding gets my vote. I wish they would release a blue/yellow lion barding to complement it. (And while they're at, I wish they'd bring out falcon barding!) The dragon bardings are classy too. Nothing that came after that really strikes my fancy. PS - It is so nice to get back to thi...

Some reconsiderations / explanations of my previous choices: I had somehow overlooked Sopwith Camel for 2001 - this now takes my vote for the year. Although I listed 6950 as my best set of 1982, my sentimental favorite is 6362 Post Office, which I think of as one of the most quintessential Town sets...

Best set of each year.
What's your choice for the best set of each year? Below are mine (suggestion - list only those years where your opinion differs from mine). The years cover every year since the start of lego "system", although I include both system and nonsystem sets. I realize some may disagree with my re...

My pet peeve with all this is the lack of continuity. In the old days, there were just a few themes which were around year after year for many years. A kid could build up a collection in a given theme over the course of time. Now, we have a gadzillion themes that only last a couple of years, or them...
