I'm very excited about the Legends perspective as well. But to me personally, there's one option that would really make this even greater: *Reruns in a different color from the original.* Why?

When I went to (URL) noticed this statement Thousands of a mm - that's the tolerance of accuracy at the LEGO mould factories. I don't think that you mean that the tolerances are on the order of meters (a thousand mm is a m), do you? Chris (23 years ago, 10-Jun-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)
