 | | Are new colors in old sets yet?
|
|
I'm planning to buy some extra pre-2004 sets to increase my supply of old gray, while I can. I'd like to help support TLC by buying directly from S@H, rather than hunting for discounts elsewhere. But this raises an important question: Are there sets (...) (22 years ago, 24-Mar-04, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.year.2003, lugnet.general)

(...) Thanks for letting me know. I called in this morning and asked them apply the discount. I also added a few bags, so I have 4 grey bricks, and 3 of the other five bags. My order history on the web site doesn't reflect the changes. I hope they (...) (22 years ago, 24-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) "My Parts" on Peeron.com allows you to export a parts list based on your Lugnet set inventories. It would be interesting to try and narrow your collection pieces down to the essential 10,000. Surely I could make do with somewhat fewer than 260 (...) (22 years ago, 24-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

According to my LUGNET set list, I have 112,000 pieces, which I consider to be a pretty large collection. I haven't kept track of the quantities of pieces I've bought from Bricklink and ebay, but if I had to guess, I'd say it's anywhere from 20 to (...) (22 years ago, 24-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

They'd still be making them in Mexico if it wasn't for the government working to phase out 2-door taxi cabs, and reducing tarrifs on imports (after all, (...)

(...) IIRC, VW stopped making the old Beetle in 1978. The factory I think you're referring to is one in Mexico. Local managers bought it from the company, since there was a mucher higher demand there than elsewhere for the bug. Somehow I don't think (...)
