gizmodo.com — Amazing look into the Lego secret vault, where they store all the Lego sets ever created—4,720 boxes—since 1958: "Maybe that's why visiting Lego's Memory Lane touched me in a way I didn't expect. These were tickets to ride a time portal to emotions and simpler days long forgotten".

Funniest thing ever growing up - seeing my dad step on a Lego in bare feet. Man, that used to crack me up! It's not that I hated my dad, it was just funny watching him bounce up and down trying not to curse.

You're not the only one - except in my case, when I went to college my mother and sister-in-law took my huge lego collection worth probably $1500-2000 and gave it away for FREE. (I swear some people are utterly clueless of the value of collections - even toys). I still haven't forgiven them for it completely - more than 10 years later. Especially now that I have kids. A lot of those pieces and sets are irreplaceable. The large flat pieces - the ones for the city and space landscape and landing pads -- those are quite expensive and I had enough to cover a large table and build a city on. It still makes me cry inside to think about it. One of my goals is to obtain such a collection again, so my kids and I can enjoy them.

No mine was more of a forest style castle.

The one I remember having that they didn't show was the motorcycle. It had shock absorbers! I loved that thing.

This is ridiculously amazing, I want to live there. First lego was the pirate ship from the '80s. Incredible!

OMG, I got goose bumps watching this. I used to have some of the old space series legos and I haven't seen them in years! I used to have that yellow castle as well!! Wow what a trip down memory lane. Thank you for sharing and many thanks to Gizmodo for posting!!

Here I am, bawling my eyes out at the memories and waiting for my three and a half year old to outgrow her Duplo so I can introduce her to my own boxes upon boxes of proper LEGO. Just so I can live through my childhood again!

I miss my LEGO's. I want to build them all again. Too bad they're in storage. So amazing and also seeing some of my sets on the video.
