Gary's question about the red stripe reminded me of something. Take a
look at those pics of the old sets: note the preponderance of red and
white, and then yellow. My memories of my childhood lego in the
60's/early 70's are that the blue bricks we had were *special*, rare,
and newer than the rest and even more so the black ones. Did Lego
originally start with just red and white, or red/white/yellow, and add
blue and black later?

(...) Not sure about LEGO, but American Bricks were predominately red with a few white. No blue, yellow, black. A few windows and doors, but no roofs. (26 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.general)
