(...) It was always my understanding that the reason that roof pieces have a lip (i.e. the small vertical edge before the slope starts) was to provide a standard way, independent of slope angle, to keep the interior side of the slope from "crashing (...) (26 years ago, 24-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)

Thinking about your dilemma, you could[1] grab all ten copies of a single bag, and sort out the pieces from that bag. Repeat for all bags. Then build one model to discover the required pieces, and collect 10x from each pile. BTW, I may be having an (...) (26 years ago, 24-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)

Pitsco will not send me a catalog because I live outside the USA. Spectrum, their Canadian distributor, doesn't have much of a selection in their catalogs when it comes to LEGO/Dacta, but they can order some stuff that isn't in their catalogs. So, I (...)

Don't get me wrong -- I'm glad they didn't do a Town, Jr. sort on it (which would have helped you out). But usually the parts are sorted into baggies a bit more logically, by size. I can imagine these things required an inefficient setup in the (...) (26 years ago, 24-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)

They could've put them on the *outside* of the crate, on the clear plastic lid. That is (a) where it belongs and (b) easier to remove. Has DACTA always been manufactured in Europe? I thought it used to be a US-only thing. Steve (...) (26 years ago, 24-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)
