  Re: Farlie A
 
(...) This will most likely get you nowhere, unless, of course, you're trying to get a job. You'll find many discussions concerning the fact that Lego seems to completely refuse to even look at or consider outside designs. 'Course, nothing here (...) (25 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

  Re: Adult lego sets.
 
(...) Of course, detaild plans for the alternates are available on the web site, which is nice, because I now have built the Hot Rod (with a few mods), and am working on turning my 3rd set into the Racer ;-) -- | Tom Stangl, Technical Support (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

  Re: Adult lego sets.
 
(...) You're right. Most parts of the 8448 S3 Super Car II instructions are very easy, especially since they provide plenty of circles and arrows to point out what goes where. But there were a few steps I looked at and wondered why they put so much (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)  
 
  Re: Adult lego sets.
 
(...) One straightforward way to do this would be to reduce the printed materials included with the bricks to Star Wars-style ideas, and possibly stages of construction (especially for Technic sets). Then take the (computer-generated) set of (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jan-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) basic (...) adults (...) of (...) I agree with Steve. It would take several thousand pieces to make good "adult sets" like Jodi describes. A skyscraper might require 40 floors of 30+ windows each and the detailing around them. The base would (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jan-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)  
 
  Re: Adult lego sets.
 
(...) I have to agree to the comments about instructions. It used to take 20 steps to show how to put a 300-400+ piece model together. Now it seems that there is an instruction step for every other piece. Waaayyy too many steps. I end up building (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jan-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

  Re: Adult lego sets.
 
(...) Heh-heh, no actually the Town Plan (#725) is my most often mentioned set. But the earlier 1961 Junior Constructor (an English Cotswold style manor house) is my holy grail. It was the first model kit not related to the Town Plan system that (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jan-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)
