Cities Before L'ex.'s Dark Ages
Lego building sets were probably the only toy (well at least 90%)
that I collected between the ages of 5 and 15. However, from ages
15-29 I entered that phase known as the Dark Ages. The following
pages contain links to the cities I created before those times.
Please click on the image if you would like to see scanned photos
of the city.

Description

|
Spring 1978 Age 8
|
Rumbar
The Modern Mini-Fig population of this, my first large scale city,
was 1 police figure. The rest of the city was populated with
the non poseable figures. Before road plates, the city
is built around a two-lane roadway (which must have been hard
on their vehicle suspension systems).

Rumbar II

Spring 1979 Age 9

Tower
Although the tower is not free-standing, it leans against the
wall, getting such a narrow tower so tall (about 5 feet) without
tipping to the side was a challenge (kind of like a Jenga or
pick up sticks game).

City
Before the Lego group built their monorail system, I built mine.
Ok actually there are two rails making it more like the "El".
