  Re: New 2002 Belville Sets
 
(...) Or is that a transparent base brick ? Let's hope so. (23 years ago, 9-Feb-02, to lugnet.year.2002, lugnet.belville)

  Origin of "Belville" Name?
 
Is there any kind of official or rumored explanation as to the origin of the Belville name? This question occurred to me recently when I was looking through one of my M.C. Escher books for building ideas and (as I've done many times before) was (...) (23 years ago, 1-Feb-02, to lugnet.belville)
 
  Re: Hello New Sets! (was Re: Bye Bye Belville)
 
(...) They are in ascending size(value) order, so 5836 is small and 5850 is on the way to 5808. With last year's selection it did look like the theme was scratching for ideas and on the wane. A range of 6 different sized sets does hold hope for (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.belville)
 
  Hello New Sets! (was Re: Bye Bye Belville)
 
(...) Pete: Thanks for the info. Some of the names of these sets sound really great to me (5838, 5842, 5850) and raise my expectations that there will be some really keen new parts (or at least colors) included. The names also make it sound like (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.belville)

  Re: Bye Bye Belville
 
(...) The "tea party" sets are quite nice. A decent supply of transparent bricks are provided. The base bricks are bright green which is fine by me. The mat in 5834 is actually fabric. The thing I'm most bummed about though is that the tea cups are (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jan-02, to lugnet.belville)
 
  Re: Instructions for Belville Fairy Tale Sets
 
(...) It is amusing :^) (...) There are more sets coming this year. pete.w (23 years ago, 3-Jan-02, to lugnet.belville)
 
  Instructions for Belville Fairy Tale Sets
 
One of the things that I really dig about the Belville Fairy Tale sets is the way the instructions picture the figures from the set actually putting it together. For those of you that have never seen these instructions, unlike the regular (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jan-02, to lugnet.belville)
 
  Re: Bye Bye Belville
 
(...) Hopefully you're right. I had wondered whether it might be that Belville just wasn't being given space in this catalog but would show up in the Spring one. Just to let you know though, Trains had a full 6 pages and Technic had 4 (with another (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jan-02, to lugnet.belville)
 
  Re: Bye Bye Belville
 
(...) Where have you seen this evidence? I have been watching the news groups, Web and Lugnet sites and, so far, have seen nothing. Of course, most fans act as if the only sets that really exist are the mini-fig based sets and Technic. If you know (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jan-02, to lugnet.belville)
 
  Re: Bye Bye Belville
 
(...) <snipped> Don't panic yet, I have seen evidence of six new Belville sets for this year. Of course, they may not be available in all markets. Grahame (23 years ago, 3-Jan-02, to lugnet.belville)
 
  Re: Bye Bye Belville
 
(...) I wouldn't take this too seriously - the January catalog is usually trimmed down. I don't have a copy of it yet, but I'd expect (based on prior years) that Trains and Technic also have slim offerings. (...) I dunno. We'll see. I was (...) (23 years ago, 2-Jan-02, to lugnet.belville)
 
  Bye Bye Belville
 
In looking through the new January, 2002 S@H catalog I see that the Belville offerings are down to two small sets - one each from the Fairy Tale and Beach themes. The sets are 5831 Adventurous Puppies on pg. 41 in the "More Cool Favorites for LEGO (...) (23 years ago, 2-Jan-02, to lugnet.belville, lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Thanksgiving Dinner - LEGO Style
 
(...) Tom - the pink trays came from the Belville Enchanted Palace set (5808). This has been one of my favorite sets that I've purchased this year. There are all kinds of nifty elements included - this set is also the source for my turkeys. G. (...) (23 years ago, 20-Nov-01, to lugnet.fun.holiday, lugnet.general, lugnet.belville)
 
  Thanksgiving Dinner - LEGO Style
 
Happy Thanksgiving One and All! In a moment of whimsy I decided to take inventory of all the nifty food elements and servingware that I've collected this year by putting together a Thanksgiving Dinner layout. The results of my effort at "slaving (...) (23 years ago, 20-Nov-01, to lugnet.fun.holiday, lugnet.general, lugnet.belville, lugnet.scala)

(...) I like the potion maker / fortune teller best, but they all look good! I like how you added System foliage to spice it up. -Shiri (23 years ago, 7-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc, lugnet.belville)
 
  Re: Another Belville MOC
 
Thanks Kevin and Robin: Yeah, I never thought of the "not in stores" angle. Cool. The pictures don't do it justice -- I think. Makes me really want a tonne of Belville stuff though. I hate that pink though. Xan "Robin Sather" (...) (23 years ago, 7-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc, lugnet.belville)
