|
| A Photo Gallery has been installed on the LEGO CD website. It contains 45 pics gleaned from the over 1,700 used on the CD. Check it out! Most of these items will be unfamiliar to many people. And some will be very familiar! (URL) Istok (18 years ago, 27-Dec-06, to lugnet.general)

| Kevin, Clark was sort of a "consultant" to the project. I am very familiar with his website, and gave him a few heads up on images. He has the best collection of printed brick images anywhere. Ditto for the LEGO flags and everything else. Gary Istok (18 years ago, 28-Dec-06, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

About 25 of the CDs had a faded image in the light scribe image. So rather than waiting longer for the (...) (18 years ago, 30-Dec-06, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
