| | | Dear LEGO, I have noticed a disturbing trend in recent years that will affect any cities made by the average child using the standard LEGO sets available. Do you realize that, thanks to your current policy, most of the citizens of a basic LEGO town (...) (25 years ago, 2-Nov-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)

Also, don't forget that TLG used to make a 1688 'Lego System, specially for her' set. It came in a pink (...) (25 years ago, 3-Nov-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)

No, they didn't paint the buildings those colors just for the shows ;-) ) I think what they need is MORE of the pastels, so proper FL architecture (...) (25 years ago, 4-Nov-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)

But when it first came out I thought it was the end of LEGO. But don't get me (...) (25 years ago, 4-Nov-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)

It sure looks that way. Based on copyright dates (6595 = 1993), it (...) (25 years ago, 5-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)
