| I had a slight problem with a few of the LEGO CD's, so there was a delay in some mailings for folks who ordered in the middle of December. 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)

What this means is that many LEGO items from 1949-80 were not sold in all locations. There were some items that (...) (18 years ago, 30-Dec-06, to lugnet.general)
