I copied this over from RTL, Gary Istok 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 (...) (25 years ago, 18-Mar-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) What interests me is the picture to the right of the one you pointed out, Gary, the garage with the opening door. I don't remember having that exact set (I don't remember having _any_ sets which built a specific model) but I do have that (...) (25 years ago, 18-Mar-99, to lugnet.general)

Thomas, I think you might be confusing 1/3 scale with the 1/3 height of Lego plates. These sets consist of regular Lego "plates" (1x1, 1x2, 2x2, 2x3, 2x4). That is, I should add, the parts packs consist only of these pieces. Since I've only seen the (...) (25 years ago, 19-Mar-99, to lugnet.general)
