 | | Who sells Custom Made LEGO Stickers?
|
| I lost my PCs favorite pages... so I cannot find the link to that fellow who sells reproductions of old LEGO stickers on his website. Can anyone help? I tried Googling for it, but came up empty. Thanks, Gary Istok (17 years ago, 23-Jan-08, to lugnet.general)

| | After 45 years... the LEGO Gnome reappears on LEGO Boxes!
|

|
| (...) Duane, a 3x3 (double concave) 33 degree "valley" slope has not yet been produced by LEGO. Neither has a 1x2 (triple) 33 degree half pyramid roof peak, nor the parts needed for an "L" or "T" roof ridge. So that makes it difficult to produce a (...)
