It looks like people have been enjoying the Builder’s Journeys column – our Throwback Thursday feature where we ask AFOLs to name a set that has a special meaning to them.
So far we have heard about sets from the last 50 years, from the LEGOLAND Bakery from 1973, through to the Hobbit. You can find all of the previous articles here.
If you have been thinking about making a contribution – there is no better time than the present. All submissions received by the 23rd of October will go into a draw for a great nostalgia laden prize from Jumper Plate.
The Classic Town Minifigure Collection
Inspired by LEGO’s Classic Town sets produced in the early 80s, the AFOLs at Jumper Plate have created five collectable Minifigures to honour this nostalgic theme, each in their own classic monochrome colour scheme.
Every Minifigure purchased goes towards the support and ongoing development of the LEGO Club management system so we all can do more of the fun stuff… building, which ultimately helps us grow our whole LEGO community. These figures are currently available through the Jumper Plate Online Store, for delivery to Australia and New Zealand only.
I have purchased a set of these figures for my own collection, and look forward to reviewing them as soon as they clear customs!
About Jumper Plate

Jumper Plate is a LEGO club management system specifically designed to reduce the workload of any RLUG managing their growing club, members, activities, assets and the opportunities LEGO offers as part of being a recognised LEGO User Group. No one starts a club for the paperwork… right?
Jumper Plate’s mission is to strengthen the growth of all our LEGO Communities by providing every LEGO Club around the world the right tools that make everyone’s life a lot simpler so that we can all do more of the fun stuff… building.
Jumper Plate was created by Jay Horne, who provided last week’s “Builders’ Journeys” column.

[…] But, there is a market for monochromatic minifigures, and when these figures come with a nicely printed nostalgic torso, harking back to the 90s, I suspect that market might be expanded. I don’t run a LUG, but I know plenty of people who do, and I am happy to help support anything that might make their job a little easier. So, I put my order in (this was pre release) and after a few local postal delays – international air travel is still a bit slow for packages – they arrived yesterday. So did my set to give away. you can read more about that here. […]
