I don't remember caring much what kind of bags they were in. As long as they ended up looking like what was on the outside of the box when the building was done! I think I actually preferred the items sorted by type, as opposed to sub-assembly (...) (24 years ago, 12-Mar-01, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.general)

Lou's original post, on the current state of Lego, made me pretty sad. I'm now 28, so I grew up as a kid playing with sets from ~1978-1990, a truly wonderful time for Lego. Thankfully, I saved everything I had and they are now part of my collection. (...) (24 years ago, 14-Mar-01, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.general)
