All, HELP! I've tried to track down through searching the database info/posts on how to make stickers for a special project I'm trying for my kids. Some useful stuff, but haven't found exactly what I need. Questions are: - What's the best material (...) (22 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) I don't believe that's true. LEGO targets the yound children with "cool" products that are all fresh and new. Most kids would rather have the newest theme than an old set they saw in a catalog a year ago. And if these kids wanted these sets in (...) (22 years ago, 24-Oct-04, to lugnet.general)

Do you ever wonder sometimes why Lego developed some particular part and say to yourself "what were they thinking?". The one piece that comes to my mind is the 1x4x2 arch. I mean it is virtually identical to the 1x4 arch plus two 1x1 bricks attached (...) (22 years ago, 24-Oct-04, to lugnet.general)
