(...) Hey, that reminds me: what year did the Nesquick Bunny debut? I'm thinking Summer 2001, but I could be wrong. Anyway, do you suppose that promo minifigs should count in this timeline, or only mainstream "canonical" minifigs? Dave! (16 years ago, 1-Nov-08, to lugnet.general, lugnet.mediawatch, FTX)
