It’s very obvious that military Lego sets would sell like wild fire. I don’t think producing a M1A1 Abraham Tank set would promote violence or portray TLC as a evil corporation. It would drive sales, and continue to promote and spread Lego’s into (...) (23 years ago, 31-Aug-01, to lugnet.dear-lego)

Dear Lego- While talking to some fellow AFOL about connecting two plates together flat side to flat side, I thought wouldn't just be great if Lego came out with a double sided plate.
