(...) Gary, First of all let me say that I am really looking forward to your CD/Book! Especially for the old catalog portion w/corrections. I agree the set description possiblities become unmanageable which is why it is so hard to create a "price (...) (22 years ago, 1-Jul-04, to lugnet.general)

Thanks for the tip about stacking plate tolerances, Jake. A related effect occurs with some 1x2 bricks (first obvious to me with sand red). The crack between bricks in a wall depends on which way the 1x2 are pointing. One end of each brick is a (...) (22 years ago, 1-Jul-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.color, lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) Doh, typo. Yeah, as Calum also pointed out, that may indeed be another great source of confusion as to the parts vs. the molds.

(...) First, what ABS can allow moulding to is different than what the company targets. Precision costs money. Decrease the tolerance, and you increase the cost, because more rejects are made. Also, the mold tolerance is different than the part (...) (22 years ago, 30-Jun-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.color, lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) I think you mean 0.005? (ie the same as the ULB above). Anyhow, the precision of molds may not be the same as moulding precision? Scott A (...) (22 years ago, 30-Jun-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.color, lugnet.general, FTX)

I've got yet another doc (not sure of the source-- was emailed to me as an Offical 'standard Lego FAQ' sorta thing) that reports: "The precision molds are made at two LEGO factories in Germany and Switzerland.

Oops. I did it again. Here's another set of stickers.
