Well, it's coming around to the weekend mate.  You going to post the answer
or not?

I STILL haven't seen any replies to this, and I'd like an answer this time,
not a time extension!!

Cheers ...

Okay...after a weekend away from home [at my parents instead] and a LONG • day
at work [I won't be home till about 10 tonight], coupled with the low • volume
of responses, I'm extending this till the end of the week :)

But I'll say this...Town is ONE of the 2 [or 3...I'll check
tonight..hopefully] ranges available in Australia that ran from 1978-1996.
Your other choice comes from 1) Trains, 2) Space, 3) Castle. I'll try and
get the '78 catalogue scanned sometime this week [but not tonight] to show
which the other was.

Sorry about not speaking up sooner,

OK, since no-one else has posted thus far, these are my four possible
choices, in order - note that I'm not going to spam the
newsgroup with three
possible choices in three individual posts, I'll just pick 1,
2, 3, 4, and
some commentaries on the few remaining choices out of the likely ones.

Just pick which one is correct [2], it'll save a lot of
hassles repeating an
otherwise identical post.  OR just post the answer on Sunday.  I can't
narrow them down any further, so just pick out the one that
matches whatever
catalogues you had, I have all catalogues from 1981-3[1] to
the present, I
think - but unfortunately no spare ones.  :-(

1.  Town [including paradisa]
2.  Space
3.  Castle
4.  Trains [any]

Aquazone

I'm pretty sure Aquazone is a very recent set line.  In fact,
I'm certain of
that.

BASIC [and freestyle]
And any others you can think of :)

The BASIC set line probably counts, although I'm sure I've seen series
without minifigs, and there are almost certainly sets without
minifigs.

Finally, what about Fabuland?  That was around for a while,
don't forget.
;-)

[1]  I'm not certain, but I'm pretty sure I saw some 1981 and
1982 catalogue
releases floating around my room somewhere.  Mostly
identical, though, to
each other ...

[2]  I kind of like this quiz idea, but I'd like to see
something a lot
better - the choices for this quiz are quite obvious, given
the fact that
there are so many to choose from.  This is *far* too vague
for my liking,
it's like trying to pick which one of several likely to be
correct choices
an examiner has set for a written multiple-choice exam where there are
several quite possibly correct answers to the multiple
choices given to the
student sitting the exam.

And I don't mean maths tests, either!  For those, there was
usually one
right answer for each multiple choice question.  :-)


Cheers ...

Okay, Due to weekend commitments, I was unable to scan the images, but I believe that the longest running ranges were: [Corrections appreciated] 1) Town and Castle [1978]. the yellow castle was still available in 1983, the 'modern' castle was (...)
