Help!! What on Earth was I thinking? A few weeks ago I looked around at all the various tubs, cans, boxes, and other containers I have lying about, filled with various LEGO elements, so I thought I would be smart (HA!) and inventory it...y'know, get (...) (22 years ago, 9-Jul-04, to lugnet.general)

I was looking for something on Peeron today and quite by accident stumbled upon this set: (URL) there are no instructions linked from Brickshelf. The design of the building struck me as interesting, especially when I saw the piece count for the 1x2 (...) (22 years ago, 9-Jul-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.inst)

My complaints don't really concern the "fad" aspects of the Lego themes. I think licensing is an awesome way to diversify a product if it's done right. I would buy some of the new Castle, Star Wars, and HP sets regardless because there are some cool (...) (22 years ago, 8-Jul-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) You're not alone, David. I'm in the exact same boat. I don't like the new set designs, and the parts come in the wrong colours, so there's not much point in buying any of the new sets! Apart from buying the occasional "display piece" that Lego (...) (22 years ago, 8-Jul-04, to lugnet.general)
