(...) And can anyone explain why this folder (URL) is showing 3746713986 hits? That makes it the second "most popular" folder on Brickshelf. Again, the images within have less than 500 hits. Very suspicious. -Steven (11 years ago, 2-Sep-13, to lugnet.general)

| | First LEGO Plastic was Cellulose Acetate and....
|
|
Well the first LEGO plastic produced for Automatic Binding Bricks (LEGO bricks from 1949-53) by TLG Billund Denmark were made of Cellulose Acetate. And anyone who has seen very old LEGO plastic can tell how much it warps. Just doing some research (...) (11 years ago, 25-Aug-13, to lugnet.general)

|

Service packs and individual parts sales are relatively new (only last 20 or so years) to the USA and Canada. But in Europe individual parts sales started in 1950 in Denmark, and Service Packs started as individual sales either from mail-order, or (...) (11 years ago, 15-Aug-13, to lugnet.general)

One of the chapters in my LEGO DVD/download lists the story of very unusual LEGO sets, that really don't fit in any other category or type. The old 800 LEGO set, only sold in France, Denmark and Norway, fits the bill as one of the most unusual sets, (...) (11 years ago, 10-Aug-13, to lugnet.general)

Take a look at the "most popular" folders on Brickshelf and you'll see five new folders at the top of the first page. (URL) folders seem very suspicious. • Each folder has more than billion hits. • However the individual images in each folder have (...) (11 years ago, 23-Jul-13, to lugnet.general)
