(...) Is there a way to download ALL files with folders in one single command or something like that? For example I want to download everything one user has. So that files can easily be transferred to maj.com. Thanks, Saso (21 years ago, 31-May-05, to lugnet.general)

| | The Dark Ages of Lego in the USA

Just like many AFOL's/ALE's, USA Lego went thru the dark ages. Interestingly enough, it was around the same time I went thru my own dark ages. The years were the 1970's. In the beginning of the 1970's USA Lego sales were licensed to the Samsonite (...) (21 years ago, 30-May-05, to lugnet.general) !!

(...) Agreed. I havent looked much at maj.com, but there are tonnes of other pictures than lego. Micropayments on Bricklink could be the way. But - my opinion - it should be by used storages.

Instructions: 6.5 gigs (all zip files). Some of these files also have box art. Catalogs: 1.25 gigs (all zip files) Most DVDs store 4.7 gigs. A double layer DVD (8+ gigs) would fit this all. "David "Fuzzy" Gregory" <crazylegoman@earthlink.net> wrote (...) (21 years ago, 29-May-05, to lugnet.general)
