There's this part 500 from the last parts update Slope Brick Round 1 x 6 Inverted The first mysterious thing about this name is that it starts with "slope", but then proceeds (...)

(...) This article is a quite interesting read. What jumped out at me was the mention that different colors of ABS have different specific gravities (within a small overall range).

Hello all, I have without any result tried to find the 8429 set ((URL)) - a re-release of the 8812 set ((URL)) - in the Lugnet database. Why is it not listed? Best regards, Peter (URL) (21 years ago, 5-Oct-03, to lugnet.db.brictionary)
