		Selling Cheap 10 Year old LEGO Bucket Sets to SE Michigan Folks
I've got some old LEGO Freestyle Bucket sets that I've been wanting to sell, but with the high cost of postage these days, it becomes prohibitive.

		Sale- 1961 #717 Junior Constructor LEGO Catalog Model Never Sold to Public
When LEGO was first sold in the USA in 1961 and in Canada in 1962, there was a LEGO house model in the 1961-62 catalogs that was NEVER sold as shown in the very first USA/Canada Samsonite LEGO catalogs. It was the #717 Junior Constructor set as (...) (17 years ago, 11-Sep-07, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

		Re: Would it be a good idea if LEGO made metal axles?
(...) Yes most of the 1970-76 European style gear sets (#800, #801, #802, #810, #811, #812, #813 and #814) had mainly those milky white axles. The metal ones that came in a few of these sets was for use with LEGO motors. Cheers, Gary Istok (17 years ago, 18-Dec-07, to lugnet.general)

		Re: mold variant: turntable 4 x 4
(...) Those old 2x8 bricks happen to be Samsonite Lego (USA/Canada) bricks made between 1964-70. For some reason the quality of the Samsonite molds was worse than those of European Lego. Many of the Samsonite Lego molds of the 1960's had re-stamped (...) (20 years ago, 8-Jun-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

		Going to Legoland with Binoculars...
Yesterday I was looking at a Lego Shop At Home catalog, and I noticed that the 2x2 windows were still available in white in bulk packs of 25. I was wondering why these were still here. And then I realized that this window is still used in Legoland (...) (20 years ago, 9-Jun-04, to lugnet.general)

		Re: Going to Legoland with Binoculars...
(...) Thanks Niels, I agree that the last time Lego made a 1x3x2 window in white (in a set) was in 1970. However, I have 2 examples of this window in white that have no window "sills". This means that they were produced after 1972. I just found the (...) (20 years ago, 9-Jun-04, to lugnet.general)

		Lego WIndows Complaint (still)

		Re: What's Your Favorite German Word?!

		Re: Samsonite LEGO - 005 Discovery Set
(...) Eric, The 005 set you are talking about probably came out around 1967 or so. The 001, 002, 003, and 004 sets first came out in 1965. (I have the Samsonite catalogs for 1961, 1963, 1965, 1966, 1968 and the dealer catalog for 1970.) The 005 set (...) (20 years ago, 11-Jun-04, to lugnet.general)
