Hi! Yesterday I saw a boxed #6991 Unitron Monorail in a shop. See (URL) for more info. The box looked a bit shelf-worn, but (of course) I assume it is complete and unopened (it was rather high on a shelf). The price said ATS 2468,- which is at the (...)

For everyone's info, Lego produced a set of 12 small duplo "World People" (Set 2772) in 1992. It consisted of three families. A black family - brown heads and a White family and Asian family, bith with Pink Flesh-colour heads.. I have no objections (...)

(...) Do you realize how many problems Lego would have if they started making non-yellow human minifigs? First, they'd have to stop making yellow minifigs altogether. If they didn't, and let them slide as "caucasians", they'd be opening themselves (...) (26 years ago, 30-Apr-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)
