Long Love Affair with Lego

Most Perfect Lego

In Toy Stor­ies, James Maybuilt a life-size house out of Lego. It was awe­some. On the DVD of the TV series, he skulks around the base­ment stor­age of Lego HQ where there is a box set of every box set Lego has ever made. He pops open 1973 and shows this Lon­don Bus set, which he details as “the most per­fect Lego set”. Someone gave me this set in 1973.

I remem­ber this set well as it acci­dently ended up at the pawn/second hand shop in Lobethal, South Aus­tralia. Being of a tender age, I had care­fully packed my Lego with other items I thought were going on a trip. Nope: they were old items what we no longer needed. My treas­ured Lego bus was gone! Thank­fully, some brave adult retrieved the bus. I remem­ber the incid­ent, and this kit well.
