Hi all, I ran into a situation today that would be perfect for a non-existant part.

Make a minifig pack similar to the town people set that is all female. This will help people that like crowds of minifigs to have a better balanced group and will help to reduce some of the fights between the male minifigs :-). Lester Witter (22 years ago, 20-Jun-02, to lugnet.dear-lego)

I was thinking about the current perception of "LEGO sets", compared to the way we AFOLs looked at sets when we were kids. Many of the new sets have very few 'basic bricks', and some of the sets (like Bionicle) don't have any basic bricks. Do we (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jun-02, to lugnet.dear-lego)
