I was looking at my Lego Idea books and noticing how much superior the book
from the early 80s is (#6000) compared to the more recent one (#260).  They
both have interesting ideas, but #6000 is great because it not only has
ideas, it follows a story line, which makes it fun to look through.  It also
is about twice as long.  I know there were other idea books put out, such as
#250 and #8890 from the late 80s.  Can any one out there make some comments
about these or any others they know of?

Page Comparison of Legoland idea books (no Technic):
200      52p     1985
226      84p     1981
250      52p     1987
260      52p     1990
697      (52?)p  1997  (don't have scans of it here at work. :) )
6000     84p     1980
7777     84p     1981

The older ones have almost 40% more pages than the newer ones!  There is also
more space dedicated to each theme in the older ones.  Over half (50p) of 6000
is dedicated to Town, while 200, 250, & 260 have a measly 12 pages for Town!

They are all good, but I find myself looking through 6000 and 200 the most for
Town ideas.
