		Re: Curious old baseplate
(...) These are relatively unknown to European collectors. They were only ever produced in USA/Canda in 1970-71. I have a pair of these. I use one as a castle courtyard plate (there are no lane markings). This was the first ever plastic roadplate, (...) (20 years ago, 21-Mar-05, to lugnet.general)

		Re: Dark purple, blue violet, sky blue, and dark green (Re: My collection of colours)
(...) Now what you need Henry are the Cellulose Acetate colors (1958-63): red (looks red-orange), yellow (a Chiffon yellow), blue (a brighter blue). The CA colors for white, black and gray are so close to the ABS versions, they would be hard to tell (...) (20 years ago, 24-Mar-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

		Re: No Lego Window System
(...) Yes those 1x6x5 windows have a glass insert. They are similar to the glass inserts in the 1x4x3 windows that can be opened and closed vertically. I don't know why they have those groves around the perimeter. But it makes them "not compatible" (...) (20 years ago, 30-Mar-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)

		Re: different types of bricks in different years?
(...) As Clark stated, dating Lego can be very tricky. Old molds were often used at the same time as new molds. TLG rarely discarded them if there was still life left in them. Here is a list that shows major brick changes (between Cellulose Acetate (...) (20 years ago, 1-Apr-05, to lugnet.parts)

		Re: Lego changes packaging again
(...) Nice box Steve! Funny, I could swear that it looks just like the #712/#713 (full/empty) 11"x 14 3/4" wooden box sets from 1963-65 or even the #822/#823 (full/empty) wooden box sets from 1966-68. Those were only sold in continental Europe. They (...) (20 years ago, 2-Apr-05, to lugnet.general)

		Re: Macaroni Brick Patterns
(...) Very interesting..... This reminds me of the first 2 Lego sets ever produced that did not involve a building. That was the #1300 and #1301 Mosaic Sets from 1956. These Danish only sets contained a lot of 1x1 round bricks, 2x2 (quarter circle) (...) (20 years ago, 3-Apr-05, to lugnet.build, FTX)

		Re: Macaroni Brick Patterns
(...) Just by looking at it, I would say that the leftmost blue/yellow one has 32 macaroni bricks per individual loop. I just got a bunch of 1955-57 macaroni bricks from Europe that have the 2x4 macaroni bricks (half circle) as well as the 2x2 we (...) (20 years ago, 6-Apr-05, to lugnet.build, FTX)

		Re: LEGO reports improved financial results
(...) Well even though TLG is downsizing, it looks like they are headed in the right direction. This is good news for all AFOLs (except of course for those few who publicly stated that they wish ill will on TLG). Looks like a sizeable part of the (...) (20 years ago, 6-Apr-05, to lugnet.lego)

		Re: Never noticed this before . . .
(...) Over the long term the colors most prone to yellowing (due to sunlight) are blue, gray and white. Of course with all the new Lego colors out, it will be interesting to see which new colors also have this tendency (obviously those that are (...) (20 years ago, 9-Apr-05, to lugnet.color)

		The first Canadian Lego Catalog of 1962
I just won on EBAY an original 1962 Canadian Samsonite Lego catalog (at an absurdly low price). This was the first Canadian Lego catalog ever produced, the year Lego was first sold in Canada: (URL) catalog is identical to the very first USA (...)

		Regina Maersk (First Maersk ship model from 1960)
For those of you that collect Maersk Lego models, there is one model that was never sold as a set, but only as a model in the early 1960's Lego Building Idea Book #1, also known as #238. Here is the model on a page from #238. There are other ships (...) (20 years ago, 14-Apr-05, to lugnet.general)

		Re: Regina Maersk (First Maersk ship model from 1960)
(...) No those are bricks (otherwise it would beg the question "when did they make macaroni plates?"). The white plates in the model would all be waffle bottom. Plates in other colors (besides white and a few rare red ones from the 50's) first came (...) (20 years ago, 15-Apr-05, to lugnet.general)

		If you could wish for any single Lego element, what would it be?
Things are a little slow (besides the survey's), so I thought I would start a new thread. OK, say TLG came up to you and said that they would make one single mold of any part that you wanted. But only one part, and only in one color. And it would be (...) (20 years ago, 20-Apr-05, to lugnet.general) !

		Re: If you could wish for any single Lego element, what would it be?
(...) Wow, it is nice to see that there are others out there that have really interesting ideas. I like them all, except for Allan Bedford (just kidding Allan, it just seems such a waste of a wish, a 3x3 brick could be made with a 2x3 and a 1x3 with (...)

		Re: If you could wish for any single Lego element, what would it be?
(...) Nice diagrams Jason (and fellow Michiganian)! I mentioned a 1x6x2 Gothic arch, but I guess it would be too narrow in the middle, a 1x6x3 arch makes much more sense. Maybe even a 1x5x5 half Gothic arch would be nice. One other thing about (...) (20 years ago, 22-Apr-05, to lugnet.parts, FTX)

When people actually meet other people something magical happens, they become (...) (20 years ago, 23-Apr-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) The 1/4 pyramid could be used for the peak of a 2 sided hip roof (in the armpit of an "L" shaped building on a square/rectangular base. The 1/4 pyramid (1x1 double convex) and the 1x1 double concave have a lot of uses besides on a roof. For (...) (20 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.general)

		Am I the only one who hates Lego parts with missing notches of plastic?
I was looking thru a bunch of old 1950's macaroni bricks I purchased recently from a Danish collector. The macaroni bricks were first introduced in 1955. From 1955-57 they came in 4 different types, after 1957 only the type we know today continued (...) (20 years ago, 27-Apr-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.parts)
