Of course, in a masterpiece of bad timing, the Rover model was cleared off of Target shelves just before the landing - I suppose I can't complain since I got one for $22. And my wife kept telling me that she could get it at a discount at work (JPL), (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jan-04, to lugnet.general)

| | Re: Nicely now. What do you think of the new colors?
|
|
Surely one of the main values of a construction toy is that more bricks can be added over time to create new models. This is why I cannot understand why the LEGO company is removing the colour compatibility of new sets with old. The changes are (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general)

(...) Hey Allan, My understanding is that the 1x1 brick with stud on only one side is not produced by TLC because the patent (!) is still owned by Ritvik and used in MegaBloks. That's why they could only do the 1x4 like that, at least until the part (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jan-04, to lugnet.general)
