What a windy Canada Day here in Ottawa. I had two Arctic Ice Surfer sets sitting in front of an open window. When I arrived home that night, I found that both of them had sailed across the room! Just as Lego boats can really float, Lego Ice Surfers (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jul-01, to lugnet.loc.ca.on.ott)

(...) Yeah, and I know first-hand how hard it is to get those inverse corner slopes. I have 4 red, 4 black, 4 light grey, and 2 blue (thanks recently to Jeff Brundige).

I also love the classic clean style of it's design. Play well. Tim (...) (23 years ago, 30-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.ca.on.ott, lugnet.org.ca.parlugment)

Hi, Yes, the nice thing about my red hoppers is they don't require any rare parts (like inverse corner slopes or 2x2 wall panels). I just used the 6x6 starwars quad inverse cutout slope dealy and it gives a nice hopper effect. You can make a lot of (...)
