 | | Problems in RTL?
|
| Am I the only one having any problems in RTL today, or are there no new messages there since yesterday? Hmmmm. Gary Istok (25 years ago, 25-May-99, to lugnet.general)

| (...) It is highly unlikely that it came from 1970's Homemaker set #266 (Child's Bedroom), which has 16 of them in the bedspread and stool top designs (just bought one). Lugnet has this. Just rambling, Gary Istok (25 years ago, 26-May-99, to lugnet.general)

| | Re: Corrections to LUGNET Sets Database.
|
| Opps, I forgot to reply.... yes I did check the mint copy of the 1961 Samsonite Catalog. The writing does say "V1867". So this is not a date (1967?), but some internal code? Since LEGO (Samsonite) was sold in the USA for the first time in 1961, and (...) (25 years ago, 24-May-99, to lugnet.admin.database)

| | Re: Plans vs imagination
|
| I agree with Kevin and Silas. Back in the 60's (when I was a child), I remember getting the Junior Constructor set #717, for Christmas. The only instructions were on the inside of the box top. It was a 500 piece set, and there were only 3 pictures (...) (25 years ago, 24-May-99, to lugnet.general)

| | Re: a short rant...
|
| Well the AS (AucZILLA Standard) gets a little skewed on occasion. I, myself am a good reason why. I've been on a buying spree lately, and wasn't going to participate in Auczilla X, except for the fact that I had a balance from previous Auczilla's. (...)

So much of what has happened in the past about LEGO has unfortunately not been well documented, even by the LEGO Archives in Billund. However, this (...)

| | New Low Sloped Roof Pieces.

| Dear LEGO, It is nice to see that you have made the low sloped (30 degree) corner roof pieces in more colors. It would be really nice if at some point in the future you create a "half pyraimid" roof peak brick (that matches that used for the 45 (...) (25 years ago, 3-Jun-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)
