|
| | | 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.

| | | | | | (...) Yes, I had one of those sets as a kid as well. Today it is rather worn. However, over the years I got 2 others (in working order). This garage mechanism also came with the Town Plan set #725 (click on View 2 of the 2 catalogs listed first (...) (25 years ago, 22-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)
