I love Lego. I love creating something totally new that has never been seen before. I love building MOCs in my favorite themes. I love seeing other people's creativity and how they can come up with something new and innovative that I would never (...) (22 years ago, 25-Nov-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.color) !!

Go to (URL) to see ad scans. The Kmart BF 5 hour sale is Buy One, Get One 50% off. Still not as good a deal as the Walgreen's sets. The bonus parts better be killer for the price. I'm tempted to buy 2, go to the car and check them out, then MAYBE (...) (22 years ago, 25-Nov-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.market.shopping)

It does look like the week 1 winner that violated the size rule and at least seemingly the voting system was removed. The container ship is currently listed as the week 1 winner. Bruce (22 years ago, 24-Nov-04, to lugnet.lego, FTX)

Hello! Yes, I appreciate what LEGO has done for me (me, being an AFOL, as I am only entitled to speak for myself) and I really like many of LEGO Direct's products. I simply love the concept "LEGO system" and that's what I'm grateful for as well as (...) (22 years ago, 23-Nov-04, to lugnet.lego, FTX) !!

I think that the new "Trans Orange" was also reported as being present in the recent arctic alpha team sets. In fact, mabie that explains why Trans-Orange is not in the universal color list.
