 | | Wanted: "Jake" minifig
|
|
Didn't know where to post this request (lugnet.parts.wanted would have been the most logical choice IMHO), but I need an "Engineer Jake" from set 4534 (the train engineer from this MOT set). Will purchase. Please email if interested. -Rob (22 years ago, 12-May-04, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.general)

| | Bricks and the Draft
|
|
All LEGO bricks are designed to have a 'draft'; they're very slightly narrower on one end than the other to help get the brick out of the mold. I examined some 1x2 bricks fresh out of the brand-new 4496 tubs tonight, and discovered that all of the (...) (22 years ago, 12-May-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) Well, glad to see i'm not alone (for a change...). I agree 100% with you both (and with Ted Michon as well). This color change might be not reversible (1). So will not be my feelings about TLC.
