(...) Of course, understanding the development process for new sets within LEGO, even though it's been accelerated recently, if they say last year that they are returning to classic building roots, we wouldn't see the effects of it until now with (...) (22 years ago, 13-Oct-04, to lugnet.general)

Hello! (...) Sorry Garry, I didn't mean to steal your thunder :-) #375, though, didn't come with closed roomes. The towers are open at two sides, as well as the towers in #6080 and #6085 are open at one side and so on. (I'm a bit embarrassed that (...) (22 years ago, 13-Oct-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) Wow! I've seen all kinds of bootleg stuff on Ebay, but this is the first time I've heard of a removal due to copyright infringement.

Hi! In a local shop I noticed a Shifty set, a copy of Lego 1761: (URL) bought it, just to see what it was, and found: The box is a copy, with the right colours, and the error on the box - there are by some reason two models of this one.
