(...) Snip! You bring up a lot of good points, Douglas. Although others have asked me "Don't you have enough LEGO?" before, I never gave that question a serious thought until now. It's because a) there's a cool new set, or b) like you said, I don't (...) (21 years ago, 20-Dec-03, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.general)

SNIP (...) I've been thinking about this for awhile. It seems that in the last few years, the number of new molds per year that TLC creates has been consistently rising. For example, for 2004 it looks like they have pretty much phased out most of (...) (21 years ago, 20-Dec-03, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.general)

Hello! (...) Unfortunatelly I wasn't surprised. (...) I don't agree with your 6090-description. For me it's a fantasy fairy tale castle rather than a building based on real castles. So are 6082 (1993) and 6097 (1997), though it renders the fictional (...) (21 years ago, 19-Dec-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
