 | | Have '87 Catalog with many alternate/different set names
|
|
Hey all, I was given a bag of Lego a few days ago that had a number of old set instructions along with a product catalog that has different names for almost all of the sets listed. According to the back, the catalog was printed in Germany by Frank (...) (21 years ago, 17-Aug-05, to lugnet.general)

Well I don't know about you guys, but I'm still floating on a cloud somewhere up there... The people, the MOCs, the building inspiration that comes from an event like this has to be experienced to be appreciated. My head is exloding with building (...)

(...) When you say "prohibitively expensive", it's important to put it in context. If you're talking about a 5 year old getting into trains for the first time, metal rails are certainly expensive. If you're talking about a Hobby Train, then that's a (...) (21 years ago, 17-Aug-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| | Vance Quantum line at LEGO Factory?
|
|
Jamie, once LEGO Factory gets underway, will we be seeing a line of Vance Quantum models available for sale? The base would be a huge one, but perhaps you could break it into several sets that can be built separately or fit together. Best, Joe (21 years ago, 16-Aug-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)
