Well I lied... the final copy of Version 3 of The Unofficial LEGO Sets/Parts
Collectors Guide has 60 chapters, and 2,200 pages.
I had to wait to get the CDs pressed (happening now), and the extra time gave me
extra time to add a chapter on LEGO Counterfeits and one on the 1949-53
Automatic Binding Bricks (the forerunner to the LEGO brick)... the other
chapters are listed at the bottom of this post.
______________________________________
Plus, there are a few "recession busting" freebies included with a Version 3
sale. This is also available to previous owners of the Version 1 and/or Version
2 CD owners.
1) a series of LEGO bricks going back to 1949 with the different fonts on them
(while supplies last)...
2) I'm digging thru my 750,000 parts inventory, and giving away $5 worth of MINT
rare parts NOT found in Bricklink....
3) And, now that I have been accepted as a "LEGO Expert" by Paypal, I am
offering $10 worth of free consultation services for each LEGO CD purchaser.
This would include referrals to what rare parts I would consider a good
investment, what to watch out for in EBAY auctions, answers to rare old parts in
your collection that you've never found any reference material on, etc... $10
worth of consultations is a lot more than you would think, since most answers
are either stuck in my head, or within a fingertip reach of my vast archive of
reference material (over 5,000 LEGO images). Here is an example of consultation
services:
http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=344013
_______________________
For Version 1 and or Version 2 LEGO owners, the Version 3 would be on sale at
great discount.... note THERE WILL NEVER BE A VERSION 4!!!!!!!!!
If I had to give percentages to what Versions 1, 2 and 3 had in information in
relationship to each other... it would be 60%, 80%, 100%.
I have added over 200 new pics since Version 2 CD, as well as 9 new chapters.
If you have a Bricklink account, you can order it at my store:
First time CD buyers....
http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=istokg&itemID=12284417
For folks who have purchased version 1 and/or version 2:
http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=istokg&itemID=10286301
NOTE: THERE WILL BE NO VERSION 4!!!! I'M DONE!!!
If you don't have a Bricklink account, please EMAIL me at:
istokg@earthlink.net
(And don't worry about my Spamblocker, I'll get back to you!)
Also, LEGO Ambassadors get great discount!! Some of you have EMAILed me while I
was busy funishing the CD, and I appologize for not getting back to you.
Thanks,
Gary Istok
P.S. The link has some troubles with it (and has not been updated to Version
3)... but it will allow you to see some pics and chapters of the CD that are
free to download:
