| | Re: Wild West ?!

| From a purely "parts" perspective, 2000 sets will be nice. The large castle set has at least 16 of the 2x2x3 blue corner extreme slopes..... horrray. The Soccer set has 4 of the gray corner extreme slopes... yes! And someone said orange concave (...) (25 years ago, 9-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)

| | 2000 sets as Parts Packs

| As someone who uses all sets as parts packs, I have to say that I am relatively pleased with the additonal pieces. The large Castle set has 16 blue corner steep sloped bricks. Wow that's probably a record. And the 4 in grey are another great (...) (25 years ago, 9-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)

| | Re: What colors do bricks come in?
|
| Based on the color pallet of Crayola Crayon (supposedly one of the top 10 toys this century from A&E TV show, yeah right!), I like to call the lighter pink "PINK", and the darker pink "MAGENTA". Now does that mean we have 2 shades of magenta? Gary (...) (25 years ago, 11-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)
