 | | 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)

| | Re: Straight LEGO Country Flags of 70's and 80's
|
| Thanks Manfred, So Unilever is the company for the #1592 sets of Britain (1980) and Netherlands (1983). That makes perfect sense, since they (like Royal/DutchShell) are a British/Dutch company. Funny thing is I use LEVER 2000, their brand of soap! (...) (18 years ago, 8-Feb-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)

| | 1981 German LEGO Train Poster

| I have this German 1981 LEGO Train System poster that shows the #7725, #7740 and #7750 trains. I was looking all over Peeron and Bricklink, and I cannot find it anywhere. Am I not looking in the right places, or is it not posted on either site? The (...) (18 years ago, 9-Feb-07, to lugnet.trains)

It's about #238: (URL) LEGO Building Idea Book is the most varied of all LEGO books/booklets. There are 9 main versions to this booklet, (...) (18 years ago, 23-Feb-07, to lugnet.general)
