Gary, I was reading your post today in RTL about the history of LEGO plates, and thinking about this thread. I thought to myself, "I'll be Gary has the real scoop on the 10x20 plates." :) Do you know when exactly the tubes were added to the inner (...) (25 years ago, 23-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

Hmmm, Let's see, I have sets 148 (Central Train Station) and 149 (Shell Refinery). They both came out in 1975, and both have the green baseplates with the tubes underneath. That would place the conversion date prior to 1975. I also have a 1970 US (...) (25 years ago, 24-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

Hey thanks Bill! That makes perfect sense to me. I always think of 1972-73 as a milestone in LEGO History. They changed the LEGO logo, TLG bought back the lisencing from Samsonite (KKK came to the USA to help open TLG USA), the first of the Lego (...) (25 years ago, 25-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

What colors are these 4x6, 4x10, 4x12, 8x8, 8x16, and 12x24 bricks available in? I have some 8x8 black, but are any of the others available in black, and if so, what sets are they available in?
