Hi all, Today I was chatting with some folks, and I mentioned that I have 8 yellow macaroni bricks. I don't remember where I got them. It was suggested that I might have received a Dacta set, but all my LEGO was store-bought. Any ideas? ~Mark (...) (24 years ago, 8-Dec-00, to lugnet.general)

I guess if you had 396, the old steam locomotive, you'd remember... There are also 2 in 603, a small old-timer. And, as mentioned by others, there are 4 in the cadillac. That's all I can think of now. Duq "Mark Sandlin" <sandlin@nwlink.com> wrote in (...) (24 years ago, 8-Dec-00, to lugnet.general)

There is a "new" Dacta pack (can't remember the #, it is a "green tub" pack that TCS has/had) that has 8 yellow macaroni. I bought the whole pack just for those parts, and soon after got some in a bulk lot (go figure), and have since gotten many (...) (24 years ago, 11-Dec-00, to lugnet.general)
