(...) As well as Volvos and labradors, it seems like St Ives might yet become famous for cheap Lego. 40% off the very limited range, but this means that: [LEGOSet 6736] is $6. Cool, huh? I also bought [LEGOSet 7081] for $1.80, not great value, but (...) (21 years ago, 28-Dec-04, to lugnet.loc.au, FTX)

Well said Tim. Many people in TLC ARE trying hard, but despite whatever some people do, it will never be good enough. This will always be a problem for every company all the time, it is not alone to just LEGO. Anyways, I always am having differences (...) (21 years ago, 28-Dec-04, to lugnet.lego)

(...) Thanks for the very generous offer, Scott--it was appreciated. I was lucky this year--I received the Technic Mars Rover, a Harry Potter set, and the little World City fireboat--that's a really cute little set. So I'm pretty happy--it's my (...) (21 years ago, 28-Dec-04, to lugnet.lego)

Now these look good! Too bad they don't have lenses. Lego needs to make bendable window pieces that can be buckled to fit any shape. This would solve many problems with technic sets since they never have windshields. What about the solar panels for (...) (21 years ago, 28-Dec-04, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: 4000+ pieces of new Lego (and more used) for sale or trade
 
Here are a couple photos of the Lego......... (URL) This does not show all 4-5 thousand parts, it is just for an idea of what they are. There are only a few hundred pieces in the photo. This is the actual used Lego that we have left..... (URL) There (...) (21 years ago, 28-Dec-04, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

  Re: How do I power a long track?
 
(...) Thanks for the info, Mark. The train I am running is one of the Large Locomotives (Item#: KT105). I have 5 passenger cars (Item#: 10015), and 1 caboose (Item#: 10014). Total of 1 motor. I was thinking that maybe I had too many cars on it, but (...) (21 years ago, 27-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains)

  2005 Starship Election/Discussion
 
Galactic Greetings! It's been a slow year for Starship, with several of the original players having a hiatus or two.

  Re: ~Use and ~Moved
 
(...) But I just don't think there is a need to some big changes. For example LEGO's internal taxonomy is simply horrid (AFAIK). (...) Hm, I don't think so.
