If so, why? (1) You do not want others to know that you are buying LEGO (R) for yourself; (2) You love unwrapping LEGO (R) sets when you get home; (3) Both; (4) Other reason(s), please specify. Rick. (23 years ago, 3-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)

Pedro: Your assumptions are absolutely correct. Most of Lego's plastic is a special (top secret) version of Bayer Novodur. Lego also uses a version of Lustran and, more recently, a version of Makrolon. If you spend enough time on the Bayer site they (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)
