  Grey and Dark Green Plates??
 
I've been on theSAH (USA) site looking around the bulk and something caught my attention. Went over to the usual ACCESSORIES AND BRICKS --- > PLATES and caught site of grey and dark green on the list. The prob is I'm getting the message they're not (...)

  Other related products
 
Maybe I just don't have enough to do in my life but I am constantly nagged by this question ... What criteria is used to determine the "Other related products" on a product page on S@H? It's not a fixed set of 3 items as it changes if you force a (...) (22 years ago, 8-Nov-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)
 
  Glitch on Web Ordering
 
I just tried to place an order on the web. I selected my items and proceeded to checkout. I logged in with my user name and password and it then proceeded to wipe out my shopping cart. Rose (22 years ago, 9-Nov-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)
 
  Availability and duration of specials - a few questions.
 
Recently the small Life on Mars set #7303 Jet Scooter was on special for $2.50 AUD, however this set stayed there barely a week, and then vanished from the store completely. I was hoping I could order at least a few of them myself, however, by the (...) (22 years ago, 8-Nov-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)
 
  Re: 6472 no longer available in Europe!
 
What you do is get a friend or relative to receive the set for you. You would be able to order it with your own credit card, and send it to their address in the USA, you do that by setting the "ship to" country to USA, but you would pay the exchange (...)

  Re: 2nd set of NBA minifigs, plus real life comparisons
 
(...) This suggestion has been floated before, I believe, and in my view it makes a fair bit of sense! There then could be lugnet.sports.soccer and lugnet.sports.basketball (or sports.nba?? I'm not sure) and sports.hockey etc... In parallel I know (...) (22 years ago, 6-Nov-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.admin.suggestions)

  Re: deadlines for Christmas ordering
 
Kerry, last year s@h put a "splash" on lego.com with details. I expect they will do the same this year near the time. Anyhow it's not "pre-Christmas", it's "pre-holiday-season". ;) Scott A (...) (22 years ago, 30-Oct-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

What are the deadlines for ordering from S@H to ensure pre-Christmas delivery?

  Re: a trick to make NEW trainwheels work - PICTURE SERIE
 
Hi There, This is exactly what I have done to all the wheel sets on my Santa Fe train (2 engines, 5 cars), and it works great now. I have also had a problem with the underside of the 10022 cars catching on the track when they crest a hill in a turn. (...) (22 years ago, 26-Oct-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) This is exactly what you must NOT do! Don't push it down, the axle must push the pin UP... Goal is NOT to press the axle down, goal is to use the 'snap-hight' of the axle-end as a 0,6 mm filler for the (too much) space in this new molds. After (...)

  Re: a trick to make NEW trainwheels work - PICTURE SERIE
 
Taking the low road... I was thinking how to shave off some plastic from the wheel flange. And it's not that big of a deal the roundness of the flange isn't as critical as the the roundness of the wheel tread. But then it hit me, using a small (...)

  Re: Super Chief will be ready for prime-time: a trick to make it work.
 
A funny thing that I noticed wrt changes in train wheels happened right around 1996, specifically in set 2126 (the 4 train cars). It seems that the center hole is not "true" center or the wheels where not "true" round. I recall making several 2 axle (...) (22 years ago, 24-Oct-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.lego.direct)
