Starter Sets
Over the years Lima catalogued a huge number of starter sets. Most of them were made for certain countries and fitted with matching models. Many chain stores ordered their own sets. With every year there was a new range of starter packs. Due to the number of sets made by Lima I can only show a selection, a complete listing is simply impossible. The sets are shown in chronological order.
