Alright, now we're talking seriously cool retro Lego! This is the Coast Guard Station, set 575 from 1977. This was the first set of Lego in our house that had Lego minifigures (Lego people as you expect to find in modern Lego sets) with moveable arms and legs. The Coast Guard Station came with 5 of them! And a helicopter, a boat and a jet ski to boot! Even my Star Wars overloaded son had this to say about set 575: "Whoa! Cool!"
We are missing two flat white pieces and one red arch on this set, and of course most of the stickers have fallen off after 30 years. Otherwise, I am amazed all the pieces are intact. This set is apparently rare and is selling for anywhere from $65 to $80 on e-bay and Craig's List.
I should add that Brooklyn and Justin have done nothing but fight over this set ever since we built it! Thanks, Mom!
