| Well...there's a chance I may be able to help here...my mother is the head of the science department at a local secondary school (Which is one way to get dacta set info/order forms and catalogues :) ) I'll see if she can find out about ordering the (...)

|
| Thanks Benjamin, I have already been to "The Construction Site" in the US. It is great, but I have to pay for shipping :( My other option is to become friends with a teacher, child care worker, librarian, etc. Carl (...) (25 years ago, 25-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.dacta)
| | | | | Re: Lego DACTA in Australia
|
| (...) Yes and no...Yes I can help...No, unless you're a school/educator, you can't get Dacta in Australia. Your best bet is to order it from the US where TLG are a lot more consumer friendly with these products. Benjamin Whytcross (...) (25 years ago, 25-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.dacta)

|
| Okay...Follow-up Question: Which range(s) with minifigs (I'm not counting stiffs here] prior to 1996 had been running the longest continual time in Australia. [eg, the time from when a range was released to when it stopped...mini-figs were released (...) (25 years ago, 25-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.org.au)
| | | | | Re: Weekly quiz
|
| One more thing, if there's a catch in the question, could you please rephrase it? The follow-up question in itself is rather badly worded, for instance if you are *actually* talking about a discontinued line that's no longer available, it's (...)

| You're right...They COULD all be elimination candidates, but at least 1 isn't [from the original list, I mean :) ]...back to you :) Benjamin Whytcross BWhytcro@PacificAccess.com.au Ph: (03) 9856 5282 Directory Technology Pty Ltd 1/436 Elgar Road, (...)

| | | | | Re: Weekly quiz
|
| Pick one of those I mentioned in my original reply. If those get eliminated - in fact, since you didn't say whether any were correct, I'd say they could all be elimination candidates. <gdr> Cheers ... Geoffrey Hyde Whytcross, Benjamin (...)

| | | | | RE: Weekly quiz
|
| (...) Ah yes...but maybe there's a little catch in the question...or the answer isn't as straight-forward as you think :) Note: I said i'd stay out of the guessing on this, but I'll say this much...I'll be providing scans [or at least a location (...)

| | | | | Re: Weekly quiz
|
| Uhh ... Benjamin ... About your follow-up question. It would seem a fairly safe bet that anyone guessing would have to pick *one* of the ranges mentioned below. AFAIK, Town and Trains have been the longest running, in fact, Trains is still going, (...) (25 years ago, 25-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.org.au)
| | | | | RE: Weekly quiz
|
| Well done...without even relying on the clues I'd guess [1] :) And to think...Frances was so close with the first guess...If only you'd looked through all the town sets...

| | | | | | RE: Help! - 1991 catalogue, Duplo set 2772, World People

| Do I spot another lurker :) Yep, the set was released in Aus in 1991 for $44.95 [2771 duplo family was $28.25 at this time.] it was still available in 1992 at the same price. [Sorry, but the next Aus catalogue I have at work is 1996, so I can't say (...) (25 years ago, 25-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.au)

| Does anyone have an Aussie 1991 catalogue. I am wanting to find out if Duplo set 2772 World People, was released in Australia. & More importantly, does anyone own or know where to get it. I am willing to buy a 2nd hand set (even incomplete). Anyone? (25 years ago, 25-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.au)

| Thanks, I thought about the possibility of that set being in there, but there doesn't seem to be any of the specialised chassis plates or sloped bricks. Being that there aren't all that many obvious parts missing [and that the instructions were (...) (25 years ago, 24-Aug-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.db.inv)

|
| (...) Benjamin, check the numbers 'O' and '3'. Are they slightly italic? I seem to remember getting this set and there is a difference in the typeface. Also, if you had evidence of white framed classic windows you might also have parts for a London (...) (25 years ago, 24-Aug-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.db.inv)
