Hi, I don't know what "Named Beam" means in Portuguese. My set 210 has "Lego System" in the front side of the box" and a drawing of a "Kiosk" on one of the sides of the box next to the number of the set. These sets were my parents'. I don't know any (...) (18 years ago, 8-Jun-06, to lugnet.loc.pt)

Hi Marc, (...) no, not at all, sounds more like bullshit. (...) I guess that's pretty universal, I did that when I was a child in the late sixties and seventies, and I still do it today, along with everybody else I know. Jürgen (18 years ago, 7-Jun-06, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.de)
