 | | Re: building problems

| Wow, good explanation Tom! All I want to add is that Anne, I use your method of construction for most of my new LEGO buildings. I call it prototyping. I build one wall (and then rebuild ... rebuild ... rebuild) until I get it the way I want it to (...) (26 years ago, 8-Mar-99, to lugnet.build)

| | Classic scale building?

Is there anyone else who builds primarily on the classic scale (3 brick high doors - sort of the (...) (26 years ago, 12-Mar-99, to lugnet.build)

Asking if they have old LEGO has netted me some pretty neat stuff (2 wooden box sets, 2 Thatcher Perkins Locomotives, 40 old supplemental parts (...) (26 years ago, 12-Mar-99, to lugnet.general)

| | Were Parts Packs available in US stores?
|
| I remember as a child when I went to my neighborhood toy store in the 1960's they had the Samsonite Supplemental Parts Packs. Today most toy stores may have some base/road plates, and that's about it as much as they carry in supplemental items. I (...) (26 years ago, 12-Mar-99, to lugnet.general)

| | Re: Why lego should not makeso many new colors
|
| I sort of disagree on the topic of too many LEGO colors. When I was a child (in the early 1960's), the LEGO colors available were red, white, blue, yellow and black. Now they have in addition to those colors, grey (mid 60's), dark grey, tan, green, (...) (26 years ago, 16-Mar-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)

From what I can gather the light blue was from a promotional set made for Denmark's national airline (circa 1980) whose name I cannot remember (Muersten or something starting with an "M").

However, sometimes I'll share info about sloped bricks, windows & doors, (...) (26 years ago, 18-Mar-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.auction)

| | Re: Architect sets
|
| Thomas, I think you might be confusing 1/3 scale with the 1/3 height of Lego plates. These sets consist of regular Lego "plates" (1x1, 1x2, 2x2, 2x3, 2x4). That is, I should add, the parts packs consist only of these pieces. Since I've only seen the (...) (26 years ago, 19-Mar-99, to lugnet.general)
