(...) You'd think :) Actually, the background comes down to legal and tax issues. As I understand each country office/branch is a separate "company". So in Billund, it's LEGO A/S. In Enfield, it's LEGO Systems, Inc., etc. I don't know the specifics (...) (20 years ago, 16-Mar-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)

To add to the confusion... I emailed Lego through the form on their web site, and asked: "What is the difference, exactly, between The LEGO Group and The LEGO Company? Would you please give me a specific definition of what each term refers to?" The (...) (20 years ago, 16-Mar-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) The 500pc box 4780 is Eur 9.99 in Dublin so could save 1 c. by getting 2 of these instead of a 4221 it's hard to make out the brick size distribution, but there are fewer colours in the smaller set... Ronan (20 years ago, 16-Mar-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

How are the new cardboard boxes being priced around the globe? There's little information about these "packs" anywhere. They are in www.legoideas.com but not in shop.lego.com yet (mar 16 05) I saw 4421 (1000 bricks) on a shelf in Dublin @ 19.99 euro (...)

If you haven't been following (URL) and (URL) CSF>, then here's my big news: I'm leaving. Two years I'll be away from home in the fabulously dusty and tornadoey state of Oklahoma working as a missionary for my church. You can read more about this (...)

| | Re: Why are slope bricks textured?
|
|
(...) Definitely so! The earlier slopes had a texture that resembled overlapping circles, while the later texture is more evenly distributed teeny-weeny bumps. I can always tell if it's an old slope piece because of the funky circle pattern. Dave (20 years ago, 14-Mar-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.parts)

(...) Hmm, that still wouldn't work. A 1x4 arch built under the peak of a roof would be way to heavy. Frank (20 years ago, 14-Mar-05, to lugnet.general)

(...) Oh sure, use logic against me. My one weakness! It's a pretty tight squeeze-- the corners might indeed stick out of the roof if left as a normal 1x6x2 arch... I guess I'd probably just fudge a little and bring the window down a bit or the roof (...) (20 years ago, 14-Mar-05, to lugnet.general)

(...) One area of interest in Lego windows that has come to my attention was the use of decals. There have been some some interesting decals used with the 1x4x5 windows. Bank windows, sheriff's office windows, etc. have come out lately. The most (...) (20 years ago, 14-Mar-05, to lugnet.general)
