| Thanks Simon, it's great to see what you guys look like. I've corresponded with so many of you before... Chris, Huw, Jon, etc... There's one person I don't see, and it's someone who I correspond with a lot ...... Phil Traviss. Gary Istok (...) (25 years ago, 18-Oct-99, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.general)

Hey Allan, That's exactly what I thought when I placed my bulk order that was rejected ....... BACK IN 1987 !!!!!!! (and then I went on a (...) (25 years ago, 22-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)

| | Re: Lego 236 Garage
|
| Lego Garage set was sort of a parts pack. Back in the 50's and early 60's many of those early sets/parts packs did not come with instructions. Sometimes, however, they were on the box itself. Gary Istok (...) (25 years ago, 25-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)

| | Re: Some disturbing news

| (...) Travis, WELCOME!! Don't let our ranting get you down. We do this every couple of months (a collective tantrum, so to speak). It's LEGO therapy on a mass scale! Yes we have our differences with the LEGO company (TLG for short), but it's "the (...) (25 years ago, 26-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)

The Town Plan #725 and Junior Constructor #717 were two large 1961-64 sets that were in a large heavy (...) (25 years ago, 26-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)

| | Future Direction Of LEGO.....
|
| I am seeing a lot of angry folks in LUGNET this week. Rather than "lighting the torches" just yet, let's let the group letter to KKK (and Peter Eio) take their course. One thing about the upper management folks at LEGO is that they are polite, and (...) (25 years ago, 26-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)

These plates would be only in sizes 1x1, 1x2, 2x2, (...) (25 years ago, 27-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)

| Well, just when I thought I've seen it all...... Yesterday I received a LEGO package (of pieces and parts packs from the 1950's) from a gentleman in Denmark. And among them was something that really startled me. It was a parts pack from 1956 that (...) (25 years ago, 29-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)

| | Re: 50x50 grey baseplate? From what?
|
| (...) The 50x50 was available from the late 1960's until probably the middle 1970's (not sure about the exact dates). I think that the reason they switched to the 48x48 was due to the fact that 4 of the 48x48 are the same size as 9 of the 32x32 (...) (25 years ago, 2-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)
