| (...) Eric, Many Lego collectors think that the first Lego Motor came in 1966 with the beginning of the Train System (which came out in mid-1966 in Europe). 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)

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 (...)

Interestingly enough, I think that Cellulose Acetate white bricks keep their whiteness better than ABS (...) (20 years ago, 27-Nov-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

In Canada Samsonite had a longer run, since it was sold there (...) (20 years ago, 5-Dec-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

That's why you have a 25th USA bucket and 35th (...) (20 years ago, 6-Dec-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)
