(copy to be posted to rec.toys.lego as well) In my recent post to raise interest and cross pollinate between Rec.Models.Railroad, I called James Mathis a master builder, because I think some of his stuff is really really good. I bet most of us could (...) (26 years ago, 27-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

| | Two new Technic sets - Mini review
|
|
Over the last few days I was able to find two new 1999 Technic sets. I found 8252 (Beach Buster) at my local Target and I picked up 8246 (Hydro Racer) at the LIC here in Orlando (WDW). The 8252 set is the blue and white police buggy that can be (...) (26 years ago, 27-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) !!! Matt is just getting started, apparently. One big set can bring you 700, 1000, 1300, or even 1700 (in the case of 5571) pieces. Interesting question though. I know for sure I have at least 4000 1x2 bricks because I remember buying that (...) (26 years ago, 27-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

What is the most common brick people have in their collections? My collection probably has at least a hundred 1x2 bricks, over 10% of my total collection. Anyway is this also the most common brick produced by TLG or do I buy an abnormal number of (...) (26 years ago, 24-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) Is that refering to the 8448? I think it looks like the chassis under the seats are made up of three layers of traditional beams, so I you'll probably find a lot of studs on it. Fredrik (26 years ago, 26-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

September for the red car!! Hydraulics! Translations, please! Some of the new Technics were disappointing, until seeing the bigger models. But observations of the '98 sets seem true for '99. Very few studded bricks. Looks like some of the only (...) (26 years ago, 26-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) keeps things simple with form in mind, and I like it. I had color before, and my best friend is sold out on color sorting, but it doesn't work for me. It's too dang hard to find the piece you want when there are 1000 or so of the same color (...) (26 years ago, 26-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

Do you mean *just* by color? One bucket/tub for each color? That only works up to a certain point. My current sort is somewhat complex, primaraly by shape for the common elements. I do have a bucket for each color for "special" pieces that don't go (...) (26 years ago, 26-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)
