What I find curious about the slopes is that we had plenty of red slopes
(they may have all been 2x2, I don't remember), but we never had any
apex or other special slopes (I remember later in life noting that "gee,
they finaly got around to adding special slopes to make more realistic
roofs"). I wonder what set(s) our slopes came from? I wonder if the
German friends who gave us our first LEGO from what they brought to the
U.S. when they stayed for a year kept all the special slopes? I know we
only had a handfull of non-general sets (all I can remember is a train
and a fire engine), so I doubt we got slopes from them. I don't know if
we had any parts packs (it's possible we came back from our Europe trip
in '72 with some).
It's a real shame our LEGO collection is long gone. I'm real curious as
to what we actually had. I suspect we may have only had a tiny bit of
Samsonite LEGO, with most of our LEGO coming from Germany (the sets we
purchased in '72 were probably purchased in Germany).

| Today's topic is Regular LEGO Sloped Bricks from 1958-1972. LEGO sloped bricks today are available in many different angled slopes. The earliest of these (and by far the most common today) are the regular 45 degree slopes. These came out in the late (...) (25 years ago, 10-Sep-99, to lugnet.general)
