(...) I have to ask: Since Lego the company seems to be involved, does this central hub exclude the use of bricks manufactured by other companies? Don (23 years ago, 11-Feb-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle, lugnet.general, lugnet.lego, lugnet.publish, lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.trains)

Hi everyone, For some time now, a group of us have been discussing the concept of a LEGO site that the community could truly call its own-- community owned, designed, and operated.

(...) Close, but not quite. It's actually a 6-stud long wall in a 4x5x6-stud triangle. The 3x4x5 ratio is measured from the centers of the studs, not the studs themselves. Going 3 studs deep and 4 studs wide actually gives you slightly more than 4.5 (...) (23 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.build)
