Hi there. I am planning a trip to Europe in April, and plan on visiting Brussells and Amsterdam. I would also like to talk my traveling companion into a day (or two) detour to Legoland Billund. Can anyone who has been there in the past, or done (...) (26 years ago, 21-Jan-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) I can only think of three things: 1. Take plenty of film. ;) 2. Don't let a non-enthusiast have control of the video camera. (1) 3. Have Fun!! Does That help? :) Jeff (1) My sister didn't even fill up a tape when we went! :( (26 years ago, 21-Jan-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) Forbid yourself from going overbudget. I made that mistake when I went to Windsor (not Billund, but it still applies) When you hit the store at the end, definately buy things you can't get at home, but don't just buy things because you're (...) (26 years ago, 21-Jan-99, to lugnet.general)

I visited in 1989, and took what was supposed to be a day trip out of Hamburg, Germany. Because of the train ride into Denmark and bus trip from the train station to Legoland, we knew our time at the park would be somewhat short. We took the (...) (26 years ago, 21-Jan-99, to lugnet.general)

My advice for your trip to Billund is double check to make sure the outside areas of the park are open, as the official opening date seems to change from year to year. I think the outside part opens last weekend in March or first in April. Yes, (...) (26 years ago, 21-Jan-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) If you go to Huw Millington's promotional set database at: (URL) search for set number 1651, you will be able to see a container lorry from the Maersk Line that uses the light blue bricks. This set is from 1980. Grahame Reid (26 years ago, 22-Jan-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) Does this mean that Orange LEGO could become as rare as the light blue LEGO that was made in a promotional set (like the Target Store Orange Buckets) for Maersk Line Airlines (Danish) in 1980, and hasn't been seen since? Gary Istok (26 years ago, 26-Jan-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) The Starwars Snowspeeder has Orange pieces, so hopefully not. :) Also, Did you notice that the Trailer has a 1x6x5 Window? With Shutters? You can add that to your "History of Windows", Gary. Jeff (26 years ago, 26-Jan-99, to lugnet.general)
