(...) OK so I just went to my box of childhood LEGO (circa 1970-80) to check this out. Discounting the CA bricks which have known deterioration problems, I put together 4 stacks of 10 ABS bricks, 2 red and 2 white. I made sure I picked out the "best (...)

(...) Hmm. In the realm of tangential anecdotal evidence, I bought the Mini-Robots (4097) set. I noticed that many of the 1x1 elements coming with the set, such as cylinders, 1x1 bricks with technic holes, headlight bricks, etc seemed to be having (...)

(...) For storage I stack my 2x3 plates with 3 studs along one edge overlapping. There is a 3mm difference in height between two stacks of 38 2x3 plates. This is within the tolerance you quoted of 3.2mm +/-0.1mm, since 3mm/38 = 0.0789mm per plate. I (...) (20 years ago, 3-Jul-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.color, lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) I will be buying very few new sets for parts, and setting aside the new colors for sale or trade. So far I have bought the (URL) just to see the new colors, and a couple of copies of (URL) 4346> for the 1x1 brick with 2 side studs pieces. I (...) (20 years ago, 2-Jul-04, to lugnet.color, FTX)

(...) I keep all the Lego I buy with the single exception of wagon plates. The only problem I have is that it'll be a year or more before I show up with a new gray (dark or light) based MOC as I expect it's gonna take that long to get a wide enough (...) (20 years ago, 2-Jul-04, to lugnet.color)

(...) I have to put this in two catagories- display sets & MOCs. Sets like the new Technic ones that will be coming out latter this month that use the new colors are an "I don't care" because I'm buying those sets primarily for the look and (...) (20 years ago, 2-Jul-04, to lugnet.color)

I am selling all the new colors on my BL store, except for a very few architectural pieces here and there, and some of the minifigs. I don't plan on keeping more than probably 5% of the bleys and rbrown. (...) -- Tom Stangl *(URL) Visual FAQ home (...) (20 years ago, 1-Jul-04, to lugnet.color)

(...) I'm primarily a castle builder, so any sets I buy for the parts, I buy for the grey and dark grey. But if all I'm gonna get is bley and dark bley, then there's not much point in me buying the new sets! I managed to buy 4x 4753 Sirius Black's (...) (20 years ago, 1-Jul-04, to lugnet.color)

I'm keeping mine (and would gladly accept yours or anyone else's who wants to purify their collection ;) ), but probably won't use it much in MOCs until I've accumulated enough that I can make things with only the new grays. Since I buy more off of (...) (20 years ago, 1-Jul-04, to lugnet.color)
