| Hi, I don't know much about trains, so I hope someone can help me. On Mother's Day, *I* got a gift from the parents -- a box of lego they picked up at yard sale for $2. It looks like very old trains (per Pause: perhaps part of set 113?). Let me list (...) (25 years ago, 11-May-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)

|
| Here's the model I made of Fran Lloyd Wright's Fallinwater (selectively compressed of course). In real life, I built the model on two baseplates, a 48 x 48 on the bottom, and then a 32x32 with some small baseplates about 6 bricks up. I also built a (...)

By building, I stack the pieces together, and they fit quite well into (...) (25 years ago, 12-May-99, to lugnet.storage)

| | Naboo Fighter Comments/Storm Trooper Minifigs?
|
| I picked up the Naboo fighter last night (so far the only Ep. 1 set I have) and I have to say I like it a lot. I like yellow bricks so maybe that's why it appeals to me. I suspect it will eventually turn into some sort of airplane though. Question: (...) (25 years ago, 7-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)
