		Re: Mathematical proof that you can't build anything with LEGO bricks
(...) He would argue that the increase in the number of new types of pieces is actually an indication that the LEGO system is getting less flexible. But as you say, the system is designed so that every piece connects to at least one other piece (...) (13 years ago, 27-Feb-12, to lugnet.general, FTX)

		New Volume II LEGO Sets/Parts Collectors Guide (1949-90s)
First of all I want to wish everyone a happy New Year... In another 10 days or so, I'll be ready to ship the NEW even larger Unofficial LEGO Sets/Parts Collectors Guide on CD that takes LEGO collection on in to the 1990s. The LEGO CD Volume II is (...)

		Re: Mathematical proof that you can't build anything with LEGO bricks
(...) I've been sort of pondering this, and I've concluded that the researcher's conclusion makes more sense if we use as a sample 100 random elements chosen from the "classic" LEGO era vs 100 random elements from the newer Ninjago era. Whatever the (...) (13 years ago, 29-Feb-12, to lugnet.general, FTX)

I think one contributing factor is that people who have not maintained familiarity with LEGO pieces over the (...) (13 years ago, 28-Feb-12, to lugnet.general, FTX)

		Re: LEGO "Man Cave"
(...) For my space, I converted my basement into a combination bar / Lego room. Dubbed "The Brick Bar", the drink corner includes numerous accents of Lego-related art. While meant to inspire more building, it has also inspired more of steps 3-6 only (...) (13 years ago, 3-Feb-12, to lugnet.trains)

		Black Rare Classic Windows... by the dozens...
Well they're real LEGO windows/doors, but not real black classic ones... but check out the image(s)... A few years ago I committed LEGO blasphemy.... I painted LEGO... (GASP!)

The battle rages on inside the Theed hangar as the Trade Federation droid army brings in reinforcements to recapture the hangar.

		Re: Blocking And Tackling: A Nasty LEGO Copyright Battle

Not too much, I hope, since it expired by 1991. (...) I believe that (...) (13 years ago, 4-Feb-12, to lugnet.mediawatch)

		Re: 3D printers

		Re: Mathematical proof that you can't build anything with LEGO bricks
