		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)

		Re: Elements I'd like to see...
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
(...) Hi Ben, Funny you should talk about the half circle bricks..... I just found my October 29,1999 post here in lugnet.general where I talked about the rarest LEGO bricks. 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)

(...) trains. That is because my all time favorite LEGO model set is #396 Thatcher Perkins (1863) locomotive. It is built to a larger scale than the normal LEGO trains. 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
(...) Well yes and no. Macaroni Bricks have always been rather scarce, but I still think they make yellow ones in recent sets. The 396 also has blue macaroni bricks. 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
(...) And I won't disappoint you, Alan! The named beams without LEGO on the studs are circa 1955-57. I have a few 1x6 white beams (some with names, some without) that don't have the LEGO logo. The (hollow bottom) named beams with the logo were from (...) (25 years ago, 17-Mar-00, to lugnet.general)

		Re: Wish lego would make more different themes.
