(...) Hi, I just got a mixed lot with a green "købmand" brick like the one in Clarks picture: (URL) has no "lego" print on the studs, but I can't spot any print inside the brick either; was there a time where Lego made bricks without imprint at all?

Anthony, great work! It's simple in it's design, not becoming bulky, and it's not too difficult to build (considering you have the right bricks :-). It makes you wonder why Lego it self never came up with this idea. It would be interesting to see (...) (21 years ago, 26-Feb-05, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.general)

Running the process faster, releasing the ABS parts at a higher temperature, will make the produced parts more irregular (...) (21 years ago, 25-Feb-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.color, lugnet.lego)

Was Jake talking about the tolerances of the actual mould whereas the Lego facts are refering to the bricks themselves. The moulds would need to be much more accurate than the bricks that came out of them. Dunno, just a thought (21 years ago, 25-Feb-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.color, lugnet.lego)

That stays "within the system" - no checks to mail, etc. When a designer's model is purchased, that designer's account gets a credit. Very simple, right? (...)
