|
| Eric Strand was nice enough to post these pictures on his Brickshelf site. I call them a "1960's Lego Christmas Fantasy". It shows many of the larger (as well as smaller) Lego sets produced in the late 1950's and 1960's. I took these pictures about (...) (20 years ago, 2-Jan-05, to lugnet.general)

| OK, TLG angered a number of AFOL's. TLG won't go back and tell Maersk that they cannont commit to their order. So they will produce more of the 10152's. Without getting into the dark blue controversy, is there anything that they could do for AFOLs (...) (20 years ago, 27-Dec-04, to lugnet.general)
