I assume that you are doing this for a 2d game, or else you'll need the (...) (18 years ago, 13-Jul-06, to lugnet.general, lugnet.cad, lugnet.gaming.brikwars)

| (...) I hear you, Danny...! Not only technic sets, most of the medium-large sized System sets also had the cellophane window highlighting some of the sets' parts. Unfortunately, they did away with all this cool packaging to save costs. 9 times out (...) (18 years ago, 13-Jul-06, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)

If LEGO goes to a smaller box size, people will need to know (...) (18 years ago, 13-Jul-06, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)

| (...) Hmm, I'm not sure I want to re-learn my "cadding" on a new program, but I'll google "leoCAD" and have a look. (...) Actually, MLCad has a minifig generator, which I've been using. It doesn't have all the options as far as different heads, (...) (18 years ago, 13-Jul-06, to lugnet.general, lugnet.cad, lugnet.gaming)
