(...) ...SNIP... Hi Gary, very nice new infos :-) But I was a little confused on the picture of the town plan board: (...) By comparing it with the 60th town plan board in the early 60th catalogues (set no. 200) it seems to have a different (...) (22 years ago, 19-Oct-04, to lugnet.general)

Eric Strand, who is helping me with the Lego CD (he's becoming a Samsonite expert) recently discovered some heretofore unknown Town Plan sets from the 1960's. The king of all 1960's sets was the Town Plan set with Town Plan board. In the USA/Canada (...) (22 years ago, 19-Oct-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) Well as the dimensions of a minifig are nowhere near proportional to a human, it's difficult to get an exact scale. I've seen scales ranging from 1:40 to 1:60 look ok with them, I think most people tend to scale in the low 40s if they're (...) (22 years ago, 19-Oct-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) Minifigs have an exaggerated scale compared to the avergage human. However, the generally accepted 'standard' for minifig scale is usually stated as 1 stud= 1 foot, or 1:38.1. Personally, I think guaging a scale of the figure is a mistake in (...) (22 years ago, 19-Oct-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) For what it's worth, here's how I arrive at a scale for minifig buildings, vehicles etc. To make things simple I assume the average minifig would be 6 feet tall (1) if brought to life. i.e. that the minifig _represents_ a being that is around (...) (22 years ago, 18-Oct-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) Gaz, this won't be exact, but it might help. The Lego scale used for the classic era (1957-72) had Lego cars and trucks that were 1:87 scale. The classic Lego door was 3 bricks tall, and the modern Lego door is 5 or 6 brick tall. That would (...) (22 years ago, 18-Oct-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) This baffles me. Hasn't the color-consistency of LEGO been praised as one of the factors setting it above its competitor clone brands?

Does anyone know the scale of LEGO figures, both Minifig and Technic, compared to that of real life? Where they originally designed to scale or was it a case of hmmm that size will do? Many thanks. Gaz. (22 years ago, 18-Oct-04, to lugnet.general)
