Unofficial LEGO Sets/Parts Collectors Guide!

[Gistok]

For those who don't know me, my name is Gary Istok.  I've been collecting LEGO for 53 years, and in 2005 started working on a history of LEGO sets and parts.  This started in 2006 as a 1000 page collectors guide, but by 2013, it has grown to 3000 pages, 1/3 million words, nearly 7000 photos, and a history of LEGO sets and parts going back to 1949... all the way up to 1990.

My Unofficial LEGO Sets/Parts Collectors Guide (1949-90) is now only available as a DVD download that can be on your computer desktop in about 6-15 minutes (I send the download instructions from the CLOUD).  This way you can have the instructions in a matter of minutes (once I receive payment), and there is no shipping or Customs fee! 

Here is an example of one of my chapters.... early printed and painted LEGO elements...

Here is the Table of Contents... 73 chapters with 4 appendix...

Because this is a DVD download, you can download the 688MB of data to your PC or MAC, your iPad, and your SmartPhone!  Or all 3!!

Also I have been in contact with the LEGO Archives/Collections in Billund for 7 years.  They share very rare LEGO items with me, and I share them with the Archives.

The DVD download is especially helpful for folks living in Scandinavia... since I show things that you will not find in Bricklink, Brickset, Peeron, Lugnet, or Brickfactory.  This includes some very rare and very valuable items from Sweden going back to 1950.  Some LEGO parts from Sweden are worth up to 100 Euros each!  Here are some of the very rare old items from Scandinavia.... as found in this Eurobricks thread...

The price of this DVD download is $29.95 (no shipping!)... that's 193 Kr. on Paypal...

You can order for immediate download...

Besides my Unofficial LEGO Sets/Parts Collectors Guide, I am now selling (finished today)... a 50+ page Unofficial LEGO 1:43 Chevrolet Trucks/Wagons Guide (1952-57).

This guide is an accompany to the 3000 page collectors guide, but because the 1:43 scale trucks are not part of the "LEGO System in Play" (LEGO System i lek), it will be a separate guide... sold for US $6,95... Swedish Krona 45,- 

Unlike the collectors guide, the 1:43 guide can be ordered directly thru me, via Paypal.  Just Paypal me the $6,95 to my Paypal account... istokg@earthlink.net   (or contact me at that Email addres for questions).

I will Email you the download within hours.  (no shipping, no Customs!).

Here are some images from the guide....

Guiden är jättebra men tyvärr kommer Gary inte att skicka den till er efter att ni har betalt. Jag beställde för två år sedan och varje kontakt med honom leder bara till diverse mejl om att han ska fixa det snart. Det är av denna orsak han inte längre får ha butik på BrickLink.
Tråkigt att säga om en så kunnig LEGO-fan, men han är tyvärr grovt kriminell.

Vadå skicka? Man köper länken till nerladdningen - vem behöver en DVD skickad från andra sidan vattnet till dyra fraktpengar? Jag hade min guide en minut efter att jag betalat. Har även hans första utgåva, på två Cd (en bonus), som kom skickad utan problem.

När jag gjorde beställningen för två år sedan via hans BrickLink-butik fanns inte nedladdning som alternativ. Sedan fick han personliga ekonomiska problem och hans mamma dog och allt vad det var och han polisanmäldes efter att ha lurat hundratals köpare på BrickLink. Jag hade då beställt tidigare versioner och fått dem (även om de blev väldigt försenade pga sjukdomar i familjen och andra personliga problem).
