  Maersk and Lego
 
I was going to post this with the debate on the 10152 sets in Maersk blue instead of dark blue, but I didn't want to get involved. Forbes Magazine says that in Denmark there are only 2 billionaire (milliarden) families. The one that owns Lego and (...) (21 years ago, 20-Dec-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.color)
 
  Re: My average set
 
(...) Yes! But wait, there's more: My modal set is: [LEGOSet 6706] And the standard deviation is: [LEGOSet 2284] (I'm looking forward to revising all this stuff post Christmas!). Cheers Richie Dulin (21 years ago, 20-Dec-04, to lugnet.loc.au, FTX)
 
  Re: source for 1 x 12 technic beams in red?
 
(...) I'd rather buy the set! After all, all the pieces go into the collection, it is cheaper on a cpp measure. (And I get lots more inspirational pieces besides). (...) Indeed. And used most excellent packaging besides. Cheers Richie Dulin (21 years ago, 20-Dec-04, to lugnet.loc.au)

  Re: My average set
 
(...) I'm glad you asked ;-) This set was the closest match to number of parts, number of minifigs and price. These are the most important stats I keep (though I do keep a fair bit more besides). My favourite calculate stat is cpp (cents per piece). (...) (21 years ago, 20-Dec-04, to lugnet.loc.au, FTX)

  Re: source for 1 x 12 technic beams in red?
 
(...) How can buying a set off the shelf be cheaper than a small number of parts off Bricklick ? I know BL is sometimes pricey, but you could mail 1 x N beams in an envelope connected together and wrapped in tape for $1.50-$2 ish pete.w (who used to (...)

  Re: My average set
 
Come on Richie, you have to give us more information than that. What is the metric you use to calculate the average? Set number? Pieces? Age of set? For the set re-releases, do you use the old set number, or the new set number? Also, what is your (...) (21 years ago, 20-Dec-04, to lugnet.loc.au)

What fun Christmas shopping is!
