 | | new pictures from the Lego archive Billund —Sven Reger
|
| | | Hi, today I had the chance to visit the Lego archive in Billund. I just uploaded the pictures I made on my homepage. I had only about 40 minutes this time so I made only a few pictures. I hope you enjoy them anyway. I will add some comments asap. (...) (20 years ago, 19-Aug-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

| | | | | (...) Thanks Sven for the wonderful pictures of "the vault", Lego's own archives. I was especially interested in 2 photos. The first one is of 1958-59 Named Beams spare parts pack #226 (if it were from before 1958, there would be 8 named beams, not (...) (20 years ago, 19-Aug-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) Hi Luca, I think the best method to go there is to book for the Lego Inside Tour that Jake anounced here. I know it is expensive but the hotel is great and you have much more specials on this tour - not only visiting "the vault". I was invited (...) (20 years ago, 22-Aug-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

Very cool, just surprising -- I didn't see anything in there (...) (20 years ago, 20-Aug-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

A lot of AFOLs won't be familiar with some of these, so perhaps I can shed some light a few of them. 1824(.jpg) This appears to be refills to the Danish (only?) retailer brick boxes.

There are other neat photos in the article, but I didn't know how kosher it would be to scan and post them. Heck, don't even know if it was OK (...) (20 years ago, 10-Sep-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)
