My, my... word does travel fast, it seems. But yes, it is true. In the next round of bulk items, we will bring you... shrubbery. Well ok, bushes, if you want to be picky about it. And trees, too; lots of trees. Cypress trees (Merry Christmas, (...) (23 years ago, 16-Nov-01, to lugnet.lego.direct) !!

I saw the news (posted to lugnet.general) about upcoming foliage packs, including the very cool cypress tree (5 for 5 bucks! woo hoo!). Just wanted to say: Thank you! :) Kevin (23 years ago, 16-Nov-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) Indeed. They did it before. Ever see the figures available during the mid 1970's? They had Town sets, but no mini-fig as we think of it.
