Hey everybody - Need some help. I am trying to figure out if the ferns seen in (URL) this picture> are a Lego part or not. I have never seen anything like it so my guess would be no. But since I am not 100% positive I ask for your help. Thanks Mark (...) (21 years ago, 15-Dec-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) Well, having finished Brikington Manor a little over a month ago, I came to realize how great a modular-rooms series could be. Imagine a standardized interface - technic pegs around a doorway - similar in concept to the moobase. Now, make a (...) (21 years ago, 15-Dec-04, to lugnet.general)

Something that I think many people don't realize when they suggest that Lego make WWII toys is that Denmark was an occupied country during WWII, and that Germany is one of thier biggest markets.

|

Clear bricks were available in many sizes, but in 2 sizes, 2x8 and 2x10 they seem to ONLY have been sold in the USA, and that was during the 1960's. This was recently confirmed by a Bricklink purchase I made from Europe of 4 2x10 and 2 2x8 bricks. (...) (21 years ago, 15-Dec-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) Perhaps it could come with a "plastic bag"-type thing, possibly with a few studs or towball-sockets on it, that's inflatable with pneumatics. That way, it doesn't have to be huge, nor eat a ton of bricks. OTOH, it does have to be fairly (...) (21 years ago, 14-Dec-04, to lugnet.general)

(URL) I was just browsing your Brickshelf folder and noticed that there are a lot fewer folders than there once were. I've noticed that you've upgraded your images from .jpgs to .pngs, but I can't explain this. Care to enlighten? :-) John (21 years ago, 14-Dec-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.general, FTX)

Hmm, a Zeppelin would be nice, but: Either the hull would be a really big special piece like in that Adventurers set (which actually used the Zeppelin hull as packaging, IIRC), or it would eat tons of bricks.
