		Re: Legoland Train Model Nitpicking, vehicles I recognised, misc rantings.
(...) The figs in miniland are not minifigs. Really. Miniland scale is quite a bit bigger than minifig scale. A fig is about 6-8 bricks high and is built from individual parts. So the modelers have done a number of neat tricks with figs (simulated (...) (26 years ago, 24-Mar-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

		Re: Semi-ADMIN: Pause Train Reference Improvement Work in Good Shape
Pedant alert... One could make the argument that 2585 is mis-categorized. It's a self propelled vehicle, not a car. Cars are characterised by not having motive power. Given the current choices (cars, locomotives, buildings, Train Set (and why the (...) (26 years ago, 24-Mar-99, to lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.trains)

		Re: I need help with an auction
The auction situation seems to be improving. I can think of several people who are now running auctions and have progressed in their ability to make it easy enough that they may be able to help you.

This was a return, and ZB didn't do a good enough job of checking. ZB is an excellent place. After you calm down, call them up. I'd wager they'll take it back if that's what you want to do. They might even reimburse you for mileage if you're polite. (...) (26 years ago, 28-Mar-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)
