| (...) Thanks Manfred! Unfortunately the LEGO CD Chapter 12 - Promotional Sets only went to 1982. This set is a 1983 set in the Netherlands, but now that I look at my notes, it was a 1980 set in Britain, and should have been included. By the way the (...)

| | Straight LEGO Country Flags of 70's and 80's

| Many of you probably find LEGO country flags (with stickers) mixed in with miscellaneous LEGO lots. Did you ever wonder just where they all originated from? Dave Shifflett of California brought this British EBAY auction item to my attention (...) (18 years ago, 4-Feb-07, to lugnet.general)

| | Rarest LEGO Parts from the 1950's
|
| Most LEGO parts of the 1950's are relatively obscure for modern LEGO collectors. During the first half of the 1950's LEGO was only sold in Denmark (1949), Sweden (for a short time in 1950, but reintroduced in 1955), and Norway (1953). Lego started (...) (18 years ago, 5-Feb-07, to lugnet.general)

Funny thing is I use LEVER 2000, their brand of soap! (...) (18 years ago, 8-Feb-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)
