(...) I am so anxious to get mine. Here in the US it shows that it will not ship until the end of May. It does look as though the model has some great details. I'm curious why this was presented as a sculpture instead of one of the Model Team (...) (24 years ago, 16-May-01, to lugnet.general)

The reason this set was a "sculpture" instead of a "model team" set is because sculptures are under the "Lego Direct" umbrella, and therefore have some immunity from that dastardly fellow in Billund that controls the colors that can be used for any (...) (24 years ago, 16-May-01, to lugnet.general)

No this is no joke. If it were, it would be no laughing matter. I don't want to get everyone into an uproar here, but let me put it this way..... if it were up to Lego Direct, they would sell us any part in any color, more than likely. But yes, (...) (24 years ago, 17-May-01, to lugnet.general)

(...) I like this part, but not as much as the straight rail. In $20 red bucket 4128 it became common in white in 1997. This was the bucket Mike Stanley tried to purchase in bulk at Legoland, but Fred Meyer stores got them instead: (URL) (23 years ago, 5-Jan-02, to lugnet.general)

(...) That's the set that peeron mentioned. But I don't think one set makes it a common element. Still, that's two sets that have featured it in white (2 each), while there was one set with 2 in green, while 3451 had the whopping (heh) 4 in red. The (...) (23 years ago, 5-Jan-02, to lugnet.general)
