The Lego Vault

June 25th, 2008 · No Comments

This is one of those things I might normally post a del.icio.us link to, but I couldn’t resist on this one – Legos and archives, two of my favorite things… Watch the video and read the account of the tour of the Lego Vault, where one of nearly every Lego set ever made is kept in compact shelving. I recognize so many of those sets from childhood, before the days of the Harry Potter and Star Wars tie-ins: our castle sets, bought in a Danish department store in 1985, are there, as are the Expert Builder sets Scott had, and when they pull out the Galaxy Explorer set, I felt a little surge of nostalgia, and a painful sensation in my fingernails from prying apart all those blue and gray bricks.
