My "missing bricks" set list, from late Seventies and early 80's:
- 147 Refrigerated train wagon with forklift (1976)
- a few dozens Police promotional sets
- blue train tracks ("4.5V trains" series): 12+12 curved, 8+8 straight
- a few dozen bricks also from LEGO Minitalia series.
My "wish list" ordered by theme:
- Technic: another 8288 Crawler Crane and another 8420; also
searching for 8455 Backhoe Loader, 8439 Front-End Loader, and
helicopters/airplanes (8429, 8444, 8433, 8434), plus all latest
Technic sets (at least the ones featuring PowerFunctions);
- City: another 7905, plus two 7293, plus two 7900; also
searching for 7903 and 7031; also considering 7237 and 7892
- maybe get a dozen of 6177 (containing 650 bricks each! yay!)
- the three most stunning Star Wars sets:
Sadly I cannot yet consider train sets because of lack of physical
space here! (sigh!)

A few tech notes
- brick height: 9.582mm = 3 plates (plate is 3.194mm)
- stud spacing: 7.985mm (center to center)
- common approximations:
- 5 bricks = 48mm (-0.09mm: -0.00188%)
- 5 plates = 16mm (-0.03mm)
- stud pitch: 8mm (-0.015mm: -0.00188%)

were created with LEGO Digital Designer v1.6 (version 2.3 is already out,
and cannot correctly load some of the models I show here on my site);
note: for large models (hundreds of elements), plenty of RAM (at least
1Gb) and fast graphics card and hard CPU power required.
