In Switzerland, it’s apparently common for people to leave out bags of stuff they don’t want for others to take, instead of throwing it all in the trash. And when a writer over on Brick Fanatics found a sack of miscellaneous Lego, when he got home he was surprised to find it actually included classic sets, manuals, and catalogs dating back to the 1970s.


It’s not every day you accidentally stumble across Lego sets that are close to 44 years old, and in such good condition as these are. And while the older models and pieces are understandably a lot simpler than what you’ll find on store shelves today, there isn’t a Lego collector out there who wouldn’t trade a mountain of modern bricks for these classic sets.
