|
| (...) It is interesting to see that others are also "improving" on some original LEGO concepts. I took an old LEGO blue castle (from 1961), and made it from a 2 tower castle into a 4 tower courtyarded castle. I am working on taking the old '57-'65 (...)

| | LEGO Bulk Sales in 1950's.
|
| This week I came across a new revelation. LEGO used to sell pieces via "bulk sales" back in the 1950's. But that was only in Denmark around circa 1954-56, and it was from RETAILERS!!!!. I came across two old 1950's LEGO retailer boxes for 2x10 white (...) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.general)

| | LEGO Architectural Postcards
|
| I received (on loan) a set of 30 postcards from a USA collector recently (I won't divulge his name in case he minds me doing so). These postcards are from the "L'Architecture... c'est un jeu magnifique" (Architecture is a wonderful game) LEGO (...) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.general)

The first occurrance of gray was the 10x20 gray baseplate in the 50's. But the first occurrance of gray and black bricks (...) (25 years ago, 25-Feb-00, to lugnet.general)

If you look at what is not easily available in sets, then some of the items I listed on a previous post are valid: clear slopes - rare in most any set, 2x2 windows - great for making skyscrapers (1x4x5 or 1x4x6 are too large (...)
