This seems like an amazing idea to me, and certainly not far-fetched. I envision a complete (or simply the two towers) World Trade Center set. When I first saw Spencer Rezkalla's WTC, (URL) , my jaw almost dropped. This looks like something lego (...) (22 years ago, 11-Sep-02, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.build, lugnet.dear-lego)

When are we going to hear some details on the availability, pricing, etc of the new Creator Buckets? 4105 has been out for a while now and I have now seen the first offering of the 4107 (1000 piece bulk tub!!!! :)) on Ebay. But not a single word out (...) (22 years ago, 11-Sep-02, to lugnet.dear-lego)

Yes, Ho type points, that would be awsome.... I have drawn some possible points a while ago in brickshelf: (URL) would also like to see points without the "S" curve, but with a cleareance of only 8 studs. However, to model "real" traintrack other (...) (22 years ago, 10-Sep-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Yeah. I just made a roof---not too large---for a church (which was itself rather on the small side). I'd estimate that I used about 150 2x4 roof bricks, but I didn't even need to open my (only) 3444 to do the peak. But peaks, like a lot of the (...)

Just a heads-up that set 3444, (URL) black 2x4 roof peak pack, is sold out at S@H (in the US, anyway). There are still decent quantities available at BrickLink, but I wouldn't plan any large black roofs any time soon without bricks in hand. . . This (...)
