Scott,
Not that I don't like you or anything, but I _have_ to disagree. Back in those
days, a lot of the Lego advertisements were about creating you own models. One
of those that springs in mind is this picture of a kid with a thing in his
hand, made from a lot of different colored standard 2x4 bricks. The text under
this picture goes something like "How do you know that this is an ambulance?
Because little (boys name) _says_ it is"
This is about creativity! Even in those days, TLG had to make a profit in
order to keep its head above water (a dutch expression, roughly translated).
If they stated in their books that if you can't buy it, use something else,
wouldn't that undermine their own market?
Just my Nlg 0.05 (is about 2 cents...)
But he! as long as we can enjoy Lego, What Us Worry?
