(...) First off I would like to cast my vote for keeping the 48X48 baseplates and train track in their original shades of gray. I think that these 2 items are the most "crucial to keep in the old colors." Many of us would also like to know if these (...) (20 years ago, 11-May-04, to lugnet.color)

(...) I think that might depend both on the wood and the specifics of the weather. Cedar chests are used as non-skanky means of keeping moths from getting at valuable clothes (cedar smells infinitely more pleasant than moth-balls), but in order for (...) (20 years ago, 10-May-04, to lugnet.color)

(...) On this I must agree, even as the rabid-clone fan I am. Aside from being heavily juniorized, many of the Dragons elements are made in such a way that they require a herculean effort to get them to snap together, but not nearly so much force to (...)

(...) snip The other flaw in the argument (besides the one you mentioned) is that if LEGO gave mixed clone and LEGO elements to my 8-year-old son and his friends, the clones would quickly get tossed aside because they don't fit as well as LEGO. My (...) (20 years ago, 10-May-04, to lugnet.color, FTX)
