In that case, those weird shaped roof pieces are exactly what TLG need to consider including in the next LEGO Direct update. Also, I would consider adding a test of sorts if I were TLG, and have inward and outward sloping low corner bricks made up (...) (24 years ago, 22-Jun-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) What about if we restrict the sample to "8 year old kids who would order from Lego Direct"? I bet MOST of those would notice. (24 years ago, 21-Jun-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) I dunno, as kids my sister and cousin and I used to use all the (red) weird shaped roof pieces to make complicated roofs with right angles, L's and dormers. Nowadays though, kids might not since the required weird shapes are less common. Kevin (24 years ago, 21-Jun-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) 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)
