(...) That was my feeling too. I started off trying the vinegar-in-a-container thing, but the smoky bricks now smell like smoke and vinegar; at best the smoke smell has diminished only a little bit. When I get to washing them I'll make sure to do a (...) (15 years ago, 7-Feb-10, to lugnet.general)

One of my LUGmates swears by a product called Oxy-clean. He soaks really stinky elements overnight in a solution of one litre water to one tablespoon Oxy-clean. (15 years ago, 3-Feb-10, to lugnet.general)

Hi all, I'm betting there's a fairly large overlap between LEGO-geeks and game-playing-geeks. For that audience I present these "brick dice". Instead of digits 1-6 on the faces, I have building block representations with one to six "studs" showing. (...) (15 years ago, 30-Jan-10, to lugnet.general, lugnet.announce)
