So I must have been about 4 years old. I still remember the people with the big heads and flexible arms, and the sailboat from the box cover. Fair number of good, basic building pieces. I still have almost all of the original pieces, and maybe the box too - my parents just shipped the motherlode of manuals and boxes and bricks to me.

This was the very first Lego set I owned. It was a birthday present in 1978 in Italy, and it got me hooked on Lego ever since. It is a fantastic set with many and varied pieces including arches, large people, roofs and basic bricks.
