| Here are a few houses I built to the CCC standard: (3 URLs) I am particularly happy with the red one, which uses the skate ramp pieces for the roof. Pictures are at my (URL) LUGNET page> - please let me know what you think. Marc Nelson Jr. (21 years ago, 24-Mar-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

But I like being able to see what you space guys are building and talking about through LUGNET. If (...) (21 years ago, 16-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

But there are good reasons for expressing displeasure to TLC even if you don't think they will reverse the color change: Even if (...) (21 years ago, 20-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

| | Re: So why all the whining about the color changes?
|
| (...) The official reason given for the color change was that new colors were less "muddy" and would be more appealing to kids. No mention was made of the new colors being cheaper to produce (although that hasn't been denied). But Jake McKee has (...) (21 years ago, 20-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

In the short term, my spending has skyrocketed, as I snap up discounted 2002-3 sets (Thanks Dollar General!). But (...) (21 years ago, 2-Mar-04, to lugnet.loc.au, FTX)
