(...) Except for one problem - has there EVER been a set with plain clear 1x4x3 thinwalls? No printing at all? What about a set with red-framed, GREEN-paned doors? I don't know of one. Quite a goofup if the accidently cast red frames instead of (...) (24 years ago, 21-Jun-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) Hey, that'd be great... if they provide pictures to go along with the part names, like Partsref. In the meantime, Partsref seems to me to be the most useful thing out there to make sure we're all talking about the same part. Lego can call (...) (24 years ago, 21-Jun-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) Do they have an internal naming convention? Is it in english or danish? Why are the thin walls train windows according to them? They were used in a lot of places.

This is particularly worrisom also. I know I'm right because their website advertises 172 pieces, which is the count on the outside of the larger box.

I just got my order for 2 sets, and found 2 small plain white boxes. opened one of them and thought it didn't look like 172 pieces.
