 | | Re: windows (strange colored )
|
| (...) Jeff is correct. They are very hard to come by. Windows are my specialty (oh heck, what isn't my specialty, heh-heh). I have about 800 of the 1x2x2 windows, which includes 300 red, 250 white, 200 yellow, 50 blue, 2 black and none in grey. And (...) (25 years ago, 9-Jul-99, to lugnet.general)

| Horst has probably the best collection of European LEGO Catalogs that I've yet seen. Unfortunately my PC had a hard drive crash, so I can't ask him for you, since I lost all my bookmarks and website addresses. Gary Istok (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jul-99, to lugnet.general)

| Larry, You are indeed correct! I can't imagine anyone wanting to sell those 10 grey windows. They are a part of that Intercity Train set. Since Paul is new to the group, we certainly don't want to take advantage of that fact (unless he was well (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jul-99, to lugnet.general)

| | The History of LEGO Plates - Part 1.
|
| Since several of you have expressed enjoyment with my blathering about Lego history, I thought I would give you a 1956-65 history on the origins of Lego plates. If anyone has info that contradicts me, please feel free and let me know. Enjoy! Gary (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jul-99, to lugnet.general)

| Originally I wanted to write a book about the early years of Lego (1956-72), but I just don't have the time for that. So yes, you can add it to LUGNET.FAQ. You have my blessing. And there are no copyright issues that I'm aware of. Thanks, Gary Istok (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jul-99, to lugnet.faq)

|
| (...) Well said Eric! I agree, Todd deserves a lot of credit. I also liked your point about how society looks upon a 30 year old playing with toys. Boy did that bring back memories. I left my dark ages in 1979 (at age 26) and was thrown into the (...) (25 years ago, 13-Jul-99, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.general)

| OK, I went digging thru some of my old Lego plates. I could not find (nor do I ever recall) blue or yellow plates made from Cellulose Acetate. Since Samsonite did not make plates in blue or yellow (in the early Cellulose Acetate years), I'm going to (...) (25 years ago, 15-Jul-99, to lugnet.general)
