I was given the Moldvay Basic set as a gift one Christmas, but I didn't start player unto I had purchased the Mentzer Basic set.

I eagerly look forward to seeing how replies have changed when this poll is re-run 40 years from now!

Which one is the red box?

 

[Malmuria]

Black Box --> Rules Cyclopedia. Though I think after that I got the 2e wizards handbook before I even got the core rules, because I loved magic users.

It's possible I started to read the dragonlance novels before I started playing dnd, can't remember.

Which one is the red box?

It's the one on the far left. The next ones in the sequence (moving to the right) are blue, green, black and gold.

Mine was the Frank Mentzer Basic D&D boxed set I believe.

That one then, the one on the left. I begged my parents for two years to get it for Christmas.

 

[Lakesidefantasy]

I chose "D&D BECMI set" is that the red box? Or is that a collection of all 5 boxed sets?

That's probably a dumb question.

 

[Lakesidefantasy]

Is the basic set from 1983 the red box?
