(...) Funny, I was looking at that seller's Bricklink store earlier, and thought it odd that he/she is already selling the ships at $140 (15 of them). I can believe 15, just have 2 friends also order their limit of 5 each. Certainly a possible (and (...) (21 years ago, 21-May-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.market.brickshops)

Sure, I'm not too happy about the change of greys, though I think in the long run the new greys will prove to be a better color. But I wanted to offer a little reality check here...

(...) I think that's why most of us loved the sets from the 80-90s period. There were only a handful of themes (Castle, Town, Technic, Space, Train, Basic) and there was so much room for creativity. Not saying that we can't be creative now, but (...) (21 years ago, 13-May-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)
