(...) If you are going to include printed parts, UNICEF 1x3x4 panels in blue. I _think_ that they are amongst the rarest post 1980 pieces made. I haven't a clue as to pre 1980 stuff, esp. for survival. (...) Well, there were around 6K of the panels (...) (24 years ago, 10-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.technic, lugnet.year.2001)

(...) Well given whats popular how about a technic police car, ambulance, fire truck, rescue team or something. There are lots of emergency service/rescue type toys out there so they must be popular... One thing that I would buy without thinking if (...)

(...) Oddly enough, I do actually agree with you here - I really like it when someone comes up with something that is not a vehicle with Technic. Saying that, it could well be argued that the Star Wars droids are in fact also vehicles, but then that (...) (24 years ago, 10-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.technic, lugnet.year.2001)

Nope. Definitely don't have that one. I was never that big into the town sets, and stopped getting them around '83...

(...) This I like, lego needs to make technic sets with more mechanical parts and less decorative parts. I dont mind vechicles but they need to get away from all of these sports cars, racing cars, motorbikes, construction equiplent (like those (...)

(...) That's the real legal question. One where there may be lots of precedent (in some countries) but may still be taken on a case-by-case basis. The pieces are patented (I'm not clear on LEGO's current patent status, I seem to recall its scope (...) (24 years ago, 10-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) As a Technics fan I completely agree with the the above comment - that's why the Starwars 8000, 8001 and (especially) the 8002 sets were such a revelation for me. I'd like to see more of this kind of set and a shift away from 'Technics' (...) (24 years ago, 10-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.technic, lugnet.year.2001)

(...) Even if the molds for some of the parts we want still exist, they may be useless. LEGO has changed the composition of its plastics many times over the years (I'm going back to the 50's here). The newer compounds in use today may be (...) (24 years ago, 10-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) "Rare" can be somewhat simulated by "expensive". If they produce the "rarer" parts in smaller quantities, then those parts should cost more to produce. They should charge a correspondingly higher price. If they sell a 2x4 brick for 1 cent (...) (24 years ago, 10-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)
