[FUT lugnet.cad.dev] Do any of you oldtimers remember exactly when the bases of the various tile parts changed, to have the groove/indent around the edge? Were all the tiles changed at once, or did it take a while for everything to get into the (...) (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.general)

(...) Below is the list of part files which could potentially be affected by this change. So far, we've only got grooved versions of the 1x1, 1x2, 1x2 grille, and 1x4 tile part files. At least the 2x2 and 2x2 round tiles could also be regrooved, and (...) (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I am fairly sure none of the printed tiles had the fingernail grooves. The grooves have been there for a long time; probably over 20 years old I would say. I think that the use of printing on tiles is significantly more recent. I have a few (...) (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) The hears of my yellow castle 6075 horses are grooved 1x2 tiles. My set was bought year 1981. The set was available here (france), year 1979. In those times lego group has used rare printed parts and many stickers. Damien (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) The only decorated tile without a finger groove that I know of is the 2x2 with a large black disk (3068P17). This came from the Homemaker set 263 dated 1974. I've no idea whether this _also_ exists with a finger groove. Chris (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I've also noticed the 1x2 tile with grille (#2412) comes in grooved & non-grooved. I have black & grey in both styles, but unfortunately they've all been integrated into my collection & I have no info on what sets they came from. 8?( (...) (...) (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) If this is the same pattern: (URL) yes, it does exist with a finger groove. --Bram Bram Lambrecht bram@cwru.edu www.bldesign.org (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I also have some of these, in grey, white, yellow, and black. Although a great portion of mine are with the groove. Adrian -- www.brickfrenzy.com (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Due to this information, I have deleted the unofficial, "~Moved to 3068bp17" version of 3068p17.dat from Parts Tracker. And I changed the title of 3068bp17.dat to "Tile 2 x 2 Grooved with Black Circle Pattern". Steve (22 years ago, 1-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Isn't the style for the other grooved tiles "with Groove", not "Grooved"? I think it would make more sense to call the other one "Tile 2 x 2 with Black Circle Pattern without Groove", since a) the grooveless tiles are more "exotic" and b) as a (...) (22 years ago, 1-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Yes. I thought about changing all the other tiles to match this one. :) (Most of the patterned tiles don't include the "with groove" notation, because they only exist in one form. And we can usually use those characters for better descriptions (...) (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I have heard reliable reports of recently opened MISB sets from 1973 and 1976 without and with grooves, respectively. I think that narrows down the time frame for the addition of the groove (to nongrille tiles). It would be good to narrow it (...) (22 years ago, 9-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.db.brictionary)
