 | | Re: non-Lego elements (rumors on Knex)
|
| (...) I have heared by rumors, that Lego in fact HAS bought Knex! The story I heared is the following: Lego lost market volume by Knex, so they decided to bring out a comparable line, which was the cheap SNAP crap... (My personal opinion on SNAP is, (...)

| | Roof parts for 7740 available in other sets?
|
| I own a single yellow 22° standard roof brick in 3x3x1. (I do not mean the corner brick at the front and rear side of the engine.) Does this brick come in any other set? My brick looks very shiny and new: so I do suppose it's not from a 7740. But (...) (24 years ago, 24-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains)

| | Re: Very small bricks?
