| | 4755 - Knight Bus Colours
|
| Dear LEGO What has happened to your quality control? I brought a couple of the Knight Bus sets and ( as well as having a few missing pieces in both boxes) the colour of the new bricks are all over the place. There are at least 3 different, distinct (...) (21 years ago, 29-Feb-04, to lugnet.dear-lego) !!

| | Fun with two 4559s and two 5542s
|
| I picked up a 2nd 4559 and started into bashing them together. I built a new engine using parts from all the sets, plus bricks from some Freestyle tubs plus a couple Technic plates. I found that one of the drop center train plates wouldn't work for (...) (25 years ago, 6-May-99, to lugnet.trains)

| | Re: Naming conventions
|
| If there is a naming convention I doubt it is official. When I was there nothing was refered to by name; everything was done by number. No one ever said "Chris, get on that fork lift and go get us 6 boxes of yellow 2x4 bricks." It was always "Get (...) (24 years ago, 24-Jun-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

| | Stuttgart Tram in 6-wide
|
| Hi train and tram folks, I havn't finished the advertising stickers jet but I wanted to take some pics of my first 6-wide Train MOC ever: The old Stuttgart Tram "Linie 15" The original is narrow gage so it was a bit complicated to hide a normal 9 V (...)

I'm actually quite partial to the standard LEGO purple, though I've noticed that the Throwbot limbs aren't the same shade as all of the other pieces, and they've used three slightly different shades of purple rubber (two shades for purple (...)

| | Re: Color Change - Final Update

| Hi Jake, I just want to add my comments on offerings for castle fans Since the color decisions seem to be final, I think that the best option is to ease this transition into the new colors. Castle builders will need basic bricks, wall pieces, (...) (20 years ago, 5-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego, lugnet.castle)

It was very light (I know, I know, many of you want them lighter, but I want them heavier.) and thus had fairly small selection. I took out a (...)

| | New Knight's Kingdom Prices
