		Re: Elements I'd like to see...
(...) James, we must be reading from the same wish list. I like your answers! I would add to the sloped bricks, inside (concave) corner bricks in extreme and low slope sizes (along with the needed peaks and peak connectors). I would also like to (...) (25 years ago, 9-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

		Re: Gary's One Shell Plaza
(...) Thanks Susan! What really surprised me was the first picture of the top of the real One Shell Plaza. It looks like the windows on each floor are made of those white LEGO 1x4x2 railing pieces that were in recent bucket sets. I have over 100 of (...) (25 years ago, 10-Mar-00, to lugnet.general)

		Re: News article about Imagination Centers

		Re: The Gary Louie Memorial Auction
OK, it's been a while since I sent one of these. We are making progress. But we're not done yet. Biggest thing missing is that I have a LOT of holes around who has shipped and who has received their goodies. Good news is: We have raised over 800 (...)

		Re: take a piece, leave a piece -- traveling box of LEGO
(...) For the windows, you should just skip the general-circulation box, and send them directly to Gary Istok. For other bags, you might mix them by cutting (so to speak) the bags in half, and mixing the half-lots in with other half-lots. That would (...)

		Re: Ebay Question
I had forgotten about that one. A German collector friend of mine bought that one (it was mostly empty), and proceded to try and fill it with old windows & doors. As Mike can attest to, you can still find old LEGO in Europe. In fact there are people (...) (25 years ago, 13-Mar-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.auction)

		Re: News article about Imagination Centers
(...) Well, yes Detroit does have 1 million. But in the metro area (which now includes 5 counties and Ann Arbor), is about 4.9 million (in the top 8). If you include Windsor, Ontario (which statisticians do not include), less than a mile across the (...) (25 years ago, 13-Mar-00, to lugnet.general)

		Re: I have these sets but can't find them in the set listings. Help!
(...) OK, a couple of things..... 1) The 2x4 bricks were the mainstain of LEGO in the 50's and 60's. And the predominant colors were red and white. Back in those years buildings were mostly 2 studs thick. No "1x" buildings back then. The 1x1, 1x2, (...) (25 years ago, 14-Mar-00, to lugnet.general)

Wow, Stephane, can I send you some 4x3 bricks to customize? I could have used 12 of those in red in my new Cathedral. You could start a LEGO Customizing Service! Gary Istok (...) (25 years ago, 17-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

		Re: LEGO Logo Changed?
(...) letters from "italicized" (slanted) to standard block letters. And the "O" lost its little loop. For interesting comparisons, check out the 1973 LEGO catalog. It will show both types of logo's. That was because some sets were carryovers from (...) (25 years ago, 16-Mar-00, to lugnet.general)

		Re: Future Wild West Possibilities

Rather than cross referencing it, I just copied/pasted it below. Enjoy! (...) (25 years ago, 17-Mar-00, to lugnet.western, lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.trains)

		Yes LEGO did make drafting paper!
TLC actually did make a drafting type paper back in the 1960's. The Architectural Sets (#750, #751, #752) each came with several sheets of this paper, which looks more like graph paper. Each box within the grid was the size of a 1x1 brick. The (...) (25 years ago, 16-Mar-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.edu)

It has the feel and look of an old time western train. I have this set, and (...) (25 years ago, 17-Mar-00, to lugnet.western, lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.trains)

		Re: Future Wild West Possibilities

I ended up buying the macaroni brick parts packs in every color (...) (25 years ago, 17-Mar-00, to lugnet.western, lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.trains)

		Re: Future Wild West Possibilities
Yes clear do exist. I have "several". If you want to know which set had the most, here it is (thanks to Horst Lehner's cool catalog website). This is the reverse side to the 1961-62 USA Samsonite Catalog, where the parts packs are located. Check out (...)

		Re: Future Wild West Possibilities

But the scarce stuff are the red 6 large and 4 small spoked wheels (I think the (...) (25 years ago, 17-Mar-00, to lugnet.western, lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.trains)

		Re: Fun OLD Bricks/History questions

The (hollow bottom) named beams with the logo were from (...) (25 years ago, 17-Mar-00, to lugnet.general)
