		Re: Appreciating what TLG and Lego Direct have done for AFOL's
(...) Steve, I agree with you on the Technic argument. I personally haven't liked Town since the 1970's, but others don't see it that way. Around 1980 I started to build MOCs. Granted a lot of AFOL's prefer to build mostly what the company comes out (...) (20 years ago, 21-Nov-04, to lugnet.lego)

		How LEGO FACTORY can stimulate AFOL interest (and sales).
I was looking at the Lego Factory site yesterday. And like some other AFOLs I was rather disappointed with the Micro Lego scale. I don't care much for those 1x1 headlights (or pigeon holes as I like to call them) used as windows. It is too bad that (...) (20 years ago, 21-Nov-04, to lugnet.general)

		Re: Appraisal of Old Style Lego
(...) Rachel, Do they all say "LEGO" on the studs? Most of the 1949-56 Lego does not, 1957-present does. The 1x6 and 1x8 beams without posts (as they are known versus the tubes on the 2x bricks) were made that way until 1964 (until 1970 in some (...)

(...) Terry, I understand where you are coming from. And your message was received with good intentions. But by bringing it up over and over again, the message gets lost. This was not the first time TLG made a major change. They did it twice before. (...) (20 years ago, 21-Nov-04, to lugnet.lego)

(...) Christian, I did not tell people to shut up. What I am saying is that last week it has been ONE YEAR since this came out. ONE YEAR!!! Isn't it time to stop the grieving process over the old gray. You can still get the parts from the company or (...) (20 years ago, 22-Nov-04, to lugnet.lego)

		Identifying AFOLs on LUGNET
I had this idea last night, and I was wondering if it makes sense (I'm sure I'll hear from pro's and con's). Here it is: What if Lugnetter had a 4 digit code to identify them from a Lego collector perspective. Here's what I mean: 1st digit: (collect (...) (20 years ago, 23-Nov-04, to lugnet.general)

		Re: Appreciating what TLG and Lego Direct have done for AFOL's
(...) I just wanted to clarify this, just because you don't like the color change, it doesn't make you ungrateful. I can fully understand those folks who are into space and castle and perhaps are reminded every day about how they pick or choose what (...) (20 years ago, 22-Nov-04, to lugnet.lego)

		Re: Identifying AFOLs on LUGNET

		Re: Appreciating what TLG and Lego Direct have done for AFOL's
(...) Dave, Gray actually goes back to the 1950's. I have a 10x20 thick baseplate in gray without "Lego" on the studs (pre 1957). The 10x20 baseplates first came out in 1953, but I cannot confirm that they started in gray that year. The next (...) (20 years ago, 24-Nov-04, to lugnet.color)

		Re: Appreciating what TLG and Lego Direct have done for AFOL's
(...) Duh! I forgot there was an easy way to tell the years for black vs. gray. Here is a 1961 Austrian Catalog that shows bricks in red, white, blue, yellow and clear, but no black. It also shows the 10x20 baseplate comes in gray (yes that is gray, (...) (20 years ago, 24-Nov-04, to lugnet.color)

		Re: Appreciating what TLG and Lego Direct have done for AFOL's
(...) Dave, Those spare parts packs (#214-#271) have a long and complicated history. They first came out in 1955 (for non-brick items such as road signs, Esso pumps/signs, trees/bushes) and 1957 (for bricks -- prior to that bricks were only sold (...) (20 years ago, 24-Nov-04, to lugnet.color)

		Re: Appreciating what TLG and Lego Direct have done for AFOL's
(...) Dave, Jan K. of Germany went on a tour of the vault in Billund. Here is her Brickshelf set of pictures from that visit. Check out the 2nd and 3rd picture (1825 and 1826). This is a 1953-56 Lego set, probably a #700/2 or #700/3. Note on the (...) (20 years ago, 24-Nov-04, to lugnet.color)

		Re: Set #271 Policemen

It was produced until about 1964 and only in continental (...) (20 years ago, 24-Nov-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

		Re: Samsonite LEGO in 1960s SEARS catalogs

Here it shows that the first Lego motor actually came out in late 1965 in the USA to be used (...) (20 years ago, 25-Nov-04, to lugnet.general)

From 1955-58 Denmark, Sweden and Norway had their own numbering system for Lego sets and Lego spare parts packs that had an (...) (20 years ago, 25-Nov-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

		Re: Slope 45 2 x 2 Double Convex / Double Concave
(...) This piece was made from 1958-72, and only in red or blue. When Lego sloped bricks first came out in 1958 (in red, blue slopes came in production in 1960), it was one of a 13 piece roof system. The other 12 pieces are still in production, but (...) (20 years ago, 26-Nov-04, to lugnet.general)
