  Re: Another way to market Lego Bricks
 
(...) Ditto. It's a fine line between pyramid structure and pyramid scheme, and it's very easy for an individual marketter(sp?) to cross, even in a legit structure. James (URL) (25 years ago, 6-Jan-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

  Re: Another way to market Lego Bricks

I do one of two things with my sets: A) If it was an interesting model that I'd like to build again, I put it back in its own box. In this case, I hardly ever go back to it for individual parts - perhaps I pull out a few unique parts (leaving a note (...) (25 years ago, 6-Jan-00, to lugnet.technic)

  Another take on the dacta castle set
