@6:15 man, those sets defined my childhood, i still remember going to Toys R us, 7 years old in 1989 and buying it with birthday gift money.
And the brochures that came with them inspired the collection to create your own battle. Iconic indeed. Amazing. Thanks for the dose of nostalgia.

Late 1990s and early 2000s were my childhood years. Adventurers, Rock Raiders, Knights Kingdom I, and Alpha Team were all so fun to build and play with! Before licensed themes took over 😂

Man seeing all these 10+ years older sets being so much better than we got today makes me sad. Especially all those Castles, pirate ships etc

1989 El Dorado Fortress was my favourite set as a kid. Absolutely amazing to see one in a mint box instantly brought me back in time to the moment I bought it in toysRus

The 90s sets were the best. when i enter the lego stores now, at best 3 sets a year attract my attention and those were sets like Lions Knights Castle, Barracuda Bay and Rivendel. Hoping Lego goes back to their roots with adventureres, pirates, wild west and castle. Skull eye schooner rerelease would be beautiful homage

So much nostalgia in this video, really took me back to my youths playing with knights kingdom, exo-force, star wars and indiana jones 🥲

Getting the boys together for the biggest heist in human history

4:34 I don't know about this specific set, but I do know that the concept of LOGO was huge in UK schools the 80s, and although I never got to use this we did have a more robotic style version. For those that don't know, LOGO is a beginners graphical programming language, where you type commands such as FD 80 and RT 90 which would Forward Draw a line and Right Turn 90 degrees. This was visualised both on screen and by plugging a "Turtle" (a dome shaped robot with wheels for the version I used) into a computer. It was great fun!

Goodness me, that place looks like heaven! Oh what I wouldn’t give to check out a place like that

[ARusso]

I could spend weeks going through the 90s & early 2000s sets. What a time it was

[chuckschwa]

Nice to see everything arranged much more neatly and spacious than the old basement. Are there any significant sets/items missing from the archives?

[KristofferXxXxX]

I remember the late 1990s to early 2000s, as it was some of my absolutely best childhood memories. I remember when my mother gave me several LEGO Ninja sets from 1998-1999, oh man I wish I could travel back in time to those years! :3

This new space is so much nicer than the old dooms day bunker. I love watching these archive videos, your knowledge is so extensive, thanks for taking the time to put this video together for all of us that will likely never get to see this amazing collection in person.

I loved the early Lego sets, especially the house sets, with or without, the little car. I have all of those models.

15:57 I got that massive Amazon Ancient Ruins set 5986 on Xmas 99'. Best present ever. I used that raised baseplate for years making forts and castles.

6:55 This brings back so many memories. For my 10th birthday I got the Governor's Fortress. My mum bought it a couple of weeks beforehand and hid it in her wardrobe. I used to sneak in and open the flap to look at the minifigs every day or so. I even remember sneaking my gran in to show her too 😂I think she kept it a secret! Awesome seeing it again and the layout of the pieces brought it all back.

[JWXBRICKS]

This place brings tears to my eyes… 😭😭
It really is beautiful…

[KarimMaassen]

Classic Space was my favorite. Plus the OG technic sets.

[noelio]

They should bring back the flip up lids on boxes pure nostalgia 💯

[Weldras]

Dude this video makes me sad somehow 😢 I miss these times from 1995 to 2005 so much with Lego. Enjoy your day guys🎉
