 | | Really cool birthday present...
|
|
The other day I received what is probably one of the most thoughtful, unique and overall cool ('cause I dig this kind of thing) gifts I've received in recent times. From a non-AFOL no less I got these really nice prints of the Toy Building Brick (...) (21 years ago, 20-Dec-04, to lugnet.org.ca.parlugment, lugnet.general)

(...) I see. I'm surprised though that you only seem to be considering hired vans. Don't ordinary citizens own vans or small trucks in the UK? We transport our tables to shows in the van belonging to one of our members (Bruce Chamberlain) - a late (...) (21 years ago, 20-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains.org)

(...) They do look identical. Wonder why they have three numbers? Might be a good question for Jake at some point. Thanks for correcting that, Ross. I'll stick by my other assertions about the set, though! Kelly (21 years ago, 20-Dec-04, to lugnet.lego, FTX)

(...) Welcome to .space Mike. Way to burst on the scene with a cool MOC and your own, um, scene. That's a great use for those 1x2x5 bricks. It's just scary how much thought you put (URL) the weaponry,> but the vehicle is well detailed and (...) (21 years ago, 20-Dec-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) True. But this varies by region, in some regions GATS is not the only show organizer. For example, MichLTC does more shows (by a wide margin) that are put on and organized by local clubs, than shows put on by GATS. And in the case of a local (...)

(...) ROTFLMAO! This is great Adrian, firstly as a compact, concise, spacy land vehicle. It's a perfect little skid-steer unit. Those treads have been asking to be used that way(1) and I've always told them to wait. But then... the attachments. (...) (21 years ago, 20-Dec-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Great pics of the named bricks Clark! The highest price I have ever seen for a named beam is $35 for an "AD 1762" from the #309 Church set. The #309/#1309 sets from 1957-63 had 3 different names "1762", "AD 1762" and "ANNO 1762", and are all (...) (21 years ago, 20-Dec-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) Well I guess they have an example they can use as a test case now: [LEGOSet 8460] [LEGOSet 8431] [LEGOSet 8438] As far as I know, there is no difference between these sets except the number. I don't own 8438 so can't say definitively. ROSCO (21 years ago, 20-Dec-04, to lugnet.lego, FTX)

(...) My inspiration was me asking a co worker what I should build. He said "A Vorton Battle Midget!" I asked him "what the hell is that?" He responed "I have no idea, that's your job." So I figured out, this is it. As for the fourth weapon? I (...) (21 years ago, 20-Dec-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
