Just added another 50 pictures from my LEGOLAND visit to LEGO on my mind. Featuring the Netherlands, Scandinavia and monumental palaces and churches. Magnificent buildings, boats and trains. Note the details! (URL) Displays by LEGO from menu Eric (...) (26 years ago, 7-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) Indeed. Those are the kind of finds that Lego should be famous for. A piece can be a flag for a (Guarded) Inn, or just the drapes on a ladies' carriage. A piece can be a flagpole, or a standard for a parasol, or a Space decorative part when in (...) (26 years ago, 7-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

| | Catalog Format question
|
|
Maybe I missed information about this -- are pages 9 through 12 (the LEGO Mania 1999) a foldout centerfold spread? It appears that pages 6 through 8 and 13 through 15 are each three-page spreads, which would be consistent with a double-foldout (...) (26 years ago, 7-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

| | More 1999 Catalog Thoughts...
|

Here's what I've been able to glean, and my thoughts... STAR WARS Looks great! Based on the catalog pics, it looks like the X-wing will have movable wings. Same with the snowspeeder - if you look closely at the catalog scan, you can see where it (...) (26 years ago, 7-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)
