| | | (...) I was just looking at my windows 'n' doors, and I found some 1x2x3 doors that do not open. Now I am confused; which came with the 125, the 1x2x3 that didn't open or the 1x3x4 that did? -- Susan Hoover Houston, TX (24 years ago, 4-Mar-00, to lugnet.general)

| | | | (...) No it was the 1x3x4 door. They started making that one around '73 or '74. The classic 1x2x3 door (made since '57) was still produced in a few sets in '75 (#148, #400), but was totally discontinued by '77, when the regular minifigs came onto (...)

| | | | (...) Hmm. That answers my question of which one came with set 125, but leaves me with a puzzle: where did my 1x2x3's come from, then? The only sets I got as a child in the 70's were 125, 410, and 420. All of the rest of my collection has been (...) (24 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.general)
