		Re: Thanks Todd. :-]
Welcome back Colin! Good to have you back! Now I wonder about the following people: Bill Katz ...... Matt Hanson ..... Zach Benz........ Do we have a name for when people have a 2nd (smaller) dark ages? Gary Istok (...) (24 years ago, 27-Jun-00, to lugnet.general)

		Re: Old minfig legs
(...) Yes, and that includes the somewhat rare 1x1 fat round (minifig head) in red, which can be found in only one other 1970's set - #277 the Fireplace Set (from the Homemaker series of sets). And the big people heads are (I believe) only found in (...) (24 years ago, 27-Jun-00, to lugnet.general)

		Re: Lego layout from the seventies
Yes gray bricks were not available during the 60's, only gray plates. But that doesn't mean that LEGO didn't produce them for their models. They still do it today with bricks and pieces that are not produced for the general public. Just go to a (...) (25 years ago, 15-May-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)

		Re: Where to Get LEGO in Germany?
(...) The real "treasure shops" are the very small family owned toy stores that are located in small towns and villages around Germany. Unfortunately these are becoming scarcer with the people retiring or dying off. The ones that are still left (...) (24 years ago, 27-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.de, lugnet.general)

		Re: I am looking for a roof brick.
(...) Hmmmmm, yes gray is rarer than yellow, but it was not available to the public (was it?). One could make a case for saying that any colors not available to us, but available to the model shops for LEGOLAND buildings are the rarest. If these (...)

		Re: I am looking for a roof brick.
(...) Geoffrey, Yes, these are among the most highly prized roof slopes. Take for example the yellow corner slopes - they are among the rarest of all slopes. The low slope is found only in the 7740 Intercity Train, the medium slope is found only in (...)

		Classic era damaged windows/doors.
Anyone who has LEGO from the early classic era (1957-1977) probably has old windows and doors that are either faded, discolored, pitted, without glass, or old faded Cellulose Acetate (the red windows are almost orange in color). Well I came up with (...) (25 years ago, 16-May-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.town)

		Re: Bulk Prices!

		Re: Making magazines (was Re: This is incredible!)

Perhaps this is a wink to us from the LEGO rank and file that got past the (...) (24 years ago, 17-May-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish)

		Re: How many Lego® posters are there?

		Re: Classics LEGOstrated presents: OZYMANDIAS

		Re: A new scan for 371 (fake?)
