		Re: Old style clear windshields
(...) J.D. Are you thinking about set Universal set #733? That had a lot of blue slopes and other blue pieces (along with a lot of red bricks). That set had the 2x2x2 "minifig dress" type clear slopes. Gary Istok (25 years ago, 3-Mar-00, to lugnet.general)

		Re: Green Plates?
I don't know about anyone else but when I see a Gary Istok post I feel the urge to grab a cup of tea and a biscut, make myself comfortable and indulge in a bit of nostalga while I read his posts. I would have said make myself comfortable beside the (...) (25 years ago, 2-Jul-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general)

		Old style clear windshields
Recently there was a discussion about the clear slopes, specifically 2x2x2 steep slopes, which some of you folks call "minifig dress" pieces. I checked my clear parts box, and came across a bunch of those. But in addition I came across some old (...) (25 years ago, 2-Mar-00, to lugnet.general)

		Re: WTB/WTT - pink minifig legs
(...) Wow, pink minifig legs? Good grief, I will have to go thru all my miscellaneous parts boxes (over 50 lb) and retrieve all the minifig items. I know I've got the pink legs because I bought 5 of the pink suitcases a few years ago (for those (...) (25 years ago, 2-Mar-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

		Re: Gary's One Shell Plaza
(...) Thank you very much Susan, My One Shell Plaza started as a 10 story building back in 1985 (and finally got to its present appearance in 1988). It kept growing horizontally as well as vertically. When I got more of those rare 1x4x5 yellow (...) (25 years ago, 2-Mar-00, to lugnet.general)

		Re: I have these sets but can't find them in the set listings. Help!
OK, I have Basic Set 125. It is exactly that..... a basic set. There are no specialty pieces (besides some older bricks, windows & doors). If memory serves me correctly, this is a set that has the 4 brick high doors that were used in conjunction (...) (25 years ago, 3-Mar-00, to lugnet.general)

		Re: Apathy? (was: WAMALUG's GATS Layout was a huge success!)
(...) Wow Mike, you really have set the "bar" higher as to your LEGO aspirations. Going against Conan. Wow, that would take some doing. The way I would suggest competing, is with "quality over quantity" (my own philosophy). But it doesn't hurt to (...) (25 years ago, 6-Mar-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.org.us, lugnet.org.us.wamalug)

		Re: Old 1960 era stuff..
Hi Jeff, No your LEGO has not aged badly at all (I used to think the same thing). What you have is Cellulose Acetate LEGO. The LEGO company used Cellulose Acetate plastic from the early 1950's until 1963. After that, they switched to ABS plastic, (...) (25 years ago, 6-Mar-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

		Re: I have these sets but can't find them in the set listings. Help!
(...) No it was the 1x3x4 door. They started making that one around '73 or '74. The classic 1x2x3 door (made since '57) was still produced in a few sets in '75 (#148, #400), but was totally discontinued by '77, when the regular minifigs came onto (...) (25 years ago, 6-Mar-00, to lugnet.general)

		Re: Speculation on the nature of minifigs (moved from Dear LEGO)

		Minifig Legs/Hips colors

		Re: What non-LEGO entities are lurking in your LEGO collection?

(...) It's possible that #125 had both door types, but I highly doubt it. I'll check my 125 box tonight and see. If it did have both, it would show them being used on the box. Yes 148 (Red train station) had both sizes in white. Set #400 (...) (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.general)
