Help!...I have been searching through my catalogues, for female "skirted" figures for a castle theme I'm developing. The only one that I can find is the witch, in black. I am after any other color - can anyone think of any others, or was the witch a (...) (25 years ago, 6-Oct-99, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Actually, mes amis, "Town Jr." was first coined as an attempt to upgrade the LEGO Duplo line and give it its first theme. This is why the new Duplo figures have legs and crude new vehicles with working patrol lights. They also have slopes and (...) (25 years ago, 6-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)

It's interesting you mention this. I have also started to use RJ11 and RJ45 connectors in my constructions. It is a neat and compact way of routing 2, 4, 6, or 8 wires around. I am working out the most neat and compact way of stuffing them into a (...) (25 years ago, 6-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

According to Matt Chiles set list: 9700 1992 Dacta Technic Control 0 set Based on the date, I'd say it's probably 4.5v. I think it took Dacta a few years after the release of 9v Technic (1990) to move there line to 9v. This set was probably a (...) (25 years ago, 6-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)
