I just wrote some information about several 1980s promotional sets... such as the Dutch #1966 Repair Shop set (a Unox Soup promotional set there by Unilever Corp.). Or so I thought it was a Dutch exclusive... until I was shown some German catalog (...) (11 years ago, 7-Aug-13, to lugnet.general)

		LEGO Historic Anecdotes... retelling the stories that got lost...
I've decided last week (when I had some internet issues at home and was cut off from the world)... to adding a slightly different approach to telling the story about LEGO sets and parts, and their evolution through the years. It seems that so much (...) (11 years ago, 9-Jul-13, to lugnet.general)
