This (and a "rarest piece" thread in lugnet.general) reminds me of a rare sloped brick piece that I'm sure some of you who have any 1960's LEGO will recognize, and that is a 2x2 regular sloped apex (peak) brick that instead of an "I" ridge line has (...) (25 years ago, 18-May-99, to lugnet.build)

This is one of my favorite sites for LegoSurfing. Of course this curved wall link begs the question: What is the best way to acquire the 1x1 rounds (especially white ones)? I can see R2-D2's body materializing in Legos in front of me, but I ran out (...) (25 years ago, 18-May-99, to lugnet.build)

I don't, simply because most of my collection falls under the "new" category, if I think I know what Gary is talking about. ;) The only separation I do though is putting the Town Junior parts (I.E. Car bodies, those horrible arch things, etc.) into (...) (25 years ago, 18-May-99, to lugnet.build)

I've made a very small rig to the scale of the minifigs. It has articulated central steering, which is operated by turning the yellow light on the top. There are very cursory instructions provided, which means that you need to work a bit if you want (...) (25 years ago, 18-May-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.cad)

Thanks for the tips! I have it all figured out now. Something so simple as LEGO bricks can bring such complicated solutions. Well, it's simple really. Sometimes the simple things are the hardest to see. I suppose that is why we build! Build On! (and (...) (25 years ago, 18-May-99, to lugnet.build)
