| Jeremy et al, I wanted to add a few comments on this. First, I absolutely agree with Brett's feelings on the subject (see the post I replied to). The idea of the MM is fun, and green baseplates work just fine, if you consider the open field usage (...) (22 years ago, 4-Nov-02, to lugnet.castle)

| (...) How about the conveyor from the Gravel Pit set (360_1)... that set of several parts (body, 2 spindles, stand, lower stand, spill way, crank, rubber belt) was used in very few other sets (I cannot find where it was used in yellow but am sure it (...)

| (...) Don't we have an even more recent example of this occurring in the Knight's Kingdom, #6098 King Leo's Castle? I refer to this element: (URL) the different set numbers refer to the same set -- so basically, it has appeared in only one set so (...) (22 years ago, 4-Nov-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.castle)

| (...) I'm concerned by the wording of this. My first response was "Well I won't bother reading more, since I'm not that good of a builder." Especially the line "Models should be good enough to become a set made by LEGO". Maybe you want to restrict (...) (22 years ago, 4-Nov-02, to lugnet.castle)

| (...) My honest opinion is that these are bad examples. These are all Star Wars parts and almost had to have been made because of the license (I know Lando and Mace should be done as well but that is another issue entirely). As for you examples I (...)

| Lego always makes new parts. They have to balance the cost of creating a new part with the eventual use of that part. In normal production sets, new parts can be used often, and the creation costs recovered. The Star Wars line has lots of new parts (...) (22 years ago, 4-Nov-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.castle)

| Hello Jojo, Thanks for the information. I hadn't realized that they had done that so much. The odd thing about this castle piece is that the way they use it in 6097 is kind of pointless and 9376 is really just a castle parts lot meant for educators (...)

| Hello! (...) Indeed. (...) This piece AFAIK is used just in 6097 and 9376 (Dacta Castle Set) (...) Back in the 70ies TLC used to produce parts for sets that were never used again besides these sets. For example look at the red arch in this set: (...)

| Hey James, You are right this is confusing. There is no reason to use that piece if you are going to cover up the window, other than piece availibility (sp?). And the Lego company doesn't have to worry about that! One other small issue could be (...) (22 years ago, 4-Nov-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.castle)
