 | | Re: Will Town Die in 2000?
|
| (...) Town has been around since 1955, the first of the LEGO Systems. And until 1966 (when Trains came on the scene) it was the only LEGO System. I don't think that there is any worry about Town disappearing. Just some years are leaner than others. (...) (25 years ago, 11-Nov-99, to lugnet.town)

| Hey Simon, I read your interview (completely). Very impressive. (C++ eh, I think it's a great language to program in, but it's a maintenance nightmare to have to maintain someone elses C++) .

| | Re: How do you get the bricks to build a town?
|
| (...) You buy the 1x* bricks in online Auctions. Recently I bought 400 1x1 red bricks for $4 because no one else was bidding on them. Some colors are easier to obtain cheaply. White, for example is usually in greater demand. Also, I avoid the brick (...) (25 years ago, 11-Nov-99, to lugnet.town)

| | Re: Old Lego
|
| (...) Bill, Cellulose Acetate LEGO was made from the early 1950's until 1964, when ABS Plastic took over. Unfortunately it had a tendancy to warp, but a lot of decent pieces are still in existence. The parts that are scarce are: 1x1, 1x2, 2x2, 2x3 (...) (25 years ago, 11-Nov-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

| | LEGOLAND Buildings....
|
| I was looking at my copy of THE ULTIMATE LEGO BOOK, which is a glorified book on the LEGO Model Builders, and what they've created for the LEGOLANDs, and 2 questions came to mind. 1) Why are there no LEGOLAND Cathedral's? At least not in the Gothic (...) (25 years ago, 11-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)

| | Re: clear transparent bricks -- rare or not?
|
| (...) The answer is both yes and no. Yes, clear bricks are much scarcer than they used to be back in the 60's and early 70's. The 1963-64 #725 Town Plan Set had about 80 clear bricks in it. And in the 60's and early 70's they had clear bricks for (...) (25 years ago, 19-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)
