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 released in 1984
2) Trains and Space [1979]...The trains in 1978 didn't have mini-figs.
Although they were available overseas, the catalogues stated that these sets
weren't available in Aus.
3) Basic [not sure how long]
4) Pirates [1989-1996]
As to the rest...I'm sure everyone knows :)
The next question will be posted later this week unless someone else can think
of one.

| 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 ... Geoffrey Hyde Whytcross, Benjamin (...) (26 years ago, 2-Sep-00, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.org.au)
