Folks,
In the 1980's I purchased about 20 "architectural" parts packs (all
small plates (1x1, 1x2, 2x2, 2x3 and 2x4) in Germany, that look like
they were geared towards adults, and not
children. Recently EBAY has been auctioning a few 1963-65 architectural
parts packs with adults on the box sleeve (geared to young architects?).
These parts pack were always the plates in different sizes (sets #518,
519, 520, 521). I have never been able to locate a larger set that the
architectural parts packs were to be used with, until now. In browsing
Horst Lehner's website, there is a wealth of classic LEGO catalogs and
brochures. In the 1965 Danish catalog, I finally found 3 sets that
complement the Architectural Parts packs. They are sets #750, 751 and
752. Just by looking at the pictures of the boxes, you can tell that
these are not geared for childred to play with.
Check them out (top left of picture):

Very interesting looking boxes. Not meant for childs play.

| (...) These are MODULEX bricks - 1/3 the size of regular Lego but the same in every other aspect. I was just taking about them: (URL) still think these would be great for making Miniland-type models at home :) Think of the detail you could fit into (...)
