| | | | | Hi Lenny, I like several things about this standard. The walls are simple and yet conform to earlier LEGO sets. Small scale buildings will fit in the city quite well. I guess we could start creating buildings with angled walls to eliminate gaps (...) (21 years ago, 23-Aug-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
