I was browsing the Google Groups archive of the alt.toys.lego newsgroup today and wanted to share a few impressions. First, the earliest messages in this group seem to be from around February of 1993, which seems like a milestone of sorts...ten (...) (22 years ago, 19-Mar-03, to lugnet.general) !

(...) Something else may have happened to all that LEGO. In recent weeks much of that Lego has gone on clearance. Up to 75% off. I spent the better part of the last several weeks going from store to store clearing the shelves of most of the stock. (...) (22 years ago, 19-Mar-03, to lugnet.general)

I forgot to mention something interesting the last time I posted to this thread. I work at a hardware/department store, and we sell Mega Bloks, but no LEGOS. We've had bulk buckets of Mega Bloks since before October. We didn't sell them at (...) (22 years ago, 19-Mar-03, to lugnet.general)

AFter Suz told me what program she used, I got my then-employer to buy it for me (I was going to use it at the end of a training class as a quiz but never got to it). I still have the Xwords software - when I get time, I'll install it and put up a (...) (22 years ago, 18-Mar-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.games)

Well, I figured since Crossword Puzzle #003 has been on the front page of Lugnet since I joined around two years ago that I better take the time to finish it. :) It was fun, and something different, although it would have been nice to see more AFOL (...) (22 years ago, 18-Mar-03, to lugnet.general)

Hi Adrian, I also have one of these minifigs, still in the bag. I bid on mine on eBay around six months ago. I asked around to see if anyone else knew where it came from and the most useful answer I got was that it was given away at a space expo in (...)

That’s a really interesting find! Right now I wish I was in you’re position. If I had any information I'd readily share it with you. Contact the original owner if it’s at all possible. Knowledge of foreign products is scarce. You’re lucky to have (...) (22 years ago, 17-Mar-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space, lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.starwars)

Adrian- *Hopes he doesn't get his hopes up.* I have no idea where this minifig came from or what is its association. Could it be representative of a company's logo or of a videogame?

Nathaniel, I've written a program called LPub that takes an LDraw file of your super-car and creates building instructions automatically. You lay out all your steps using MLCad, hand the file(s) to LPub and it creates all the construction images (...) (22 years ago, 17-Mar-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)

I'll have a look what will be the best method of making the instructions. The sportscar is not made in either Leocad or MLcad, so I have to find out another method for making nice (and quick) instruction pictures. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanx (...)
