I'll try to find out how many sets and parts there are (the color
palette is certainly limited).

OK, it's about 600 sets, 2000 different parts, 3 main colors (max 10 total),
so it's not really in the 'competition'. But it's quite a nice toy...

Thanks Anders,

Whenever I look at the old Antique Toy Books with their 900 pages or so, I keep
thinking that with Lego included the books would be about 1/3 larger.

Anders and I share one thing in common on LUGNET.  In a way we are both "Lego Antiques" :-)   We go back farther than any other (known) AFOLs.  We both first started playing with Lego in 1960 (Anders in Eksatuna Sweden and I in Detroit USA).  Any other Lego "Antiques" out there!

Well, not *quite* as antique as you, but I started in 1968 or 69... (...) -- Tom Stangl *(URL) Visual FAQ home *(URL) Visual FAQ Home (19 years ago, 25-Jun-05, to lugnet.general)
