| | 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)

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)
