  Re: 2 Things...
 
(...) There is a direct link to a set search, yes. But it's not prominent enough. It's in the list of Links & Resources on the left. Last night I made the main search give a forwarding link to the sets-DB if it's given a number. --Todd (27 years ago, 22-Jun-99, to lugnet.general)

  Re: Reconstructing second hand LEGO sets
 
Brian, don't rule out the possibility that the former owner had a set of just minifigs: 6703, for example, would take up four different colour Futuron figs.

(...) Don't worry, you're not missing any information... It actually is shades of gray in many places. Only a couple of the grays are off-gray, and those are only off-gray in a very subtle way (about 5% into the red/yellow "warm" spectrum). With the (...)

  Re: Lego Logo
 
(...) In 1991, They just had the standard red Lego square. Before that they had a yellow banner in the corner that read: "Legoland". That was always my favorite, as I think the word "System" with the brick on the "T" looks cheesy. Jeff (27 years ago, 22-Jun-99, to lugnet.general)

  Lego Logo
 
Hi, this may sound pretty stupid, but for how long has a red 2x4 brick crossed the T on the word "System" in the Lego System logo? I have never really noticed it and I think it looks weird; it looks like it says "Sysiem" instead. Greg (...) (27 years ago, 22-Jun-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) Are you talking about the text from previous messages? Not only is it too small, it is too light! I have a hard time even seeing it because it blends into the background. The current-message text is still the same size, at least for me. Jeff (27 years ago, 22-Jun-99, to lugnet.general)
