I recently received the 2 new LEGO Modelers Books published by DK Press:

parts for the models and give them to my son as a gift.  This is where the
problems begin.

I have a few parts, quite a few. But I couldn't locate some of the pieces
these books needed.  (I wonder why LEGO didn't think this through a bit more.)

:) Yeah, I think it would be phenomenally helpful if they just built from sets
currently on the market-- at least then they can more or less guarantee that
the pieces are available SOMEWHERE!

The other thing about the Amazing Animals book that we noticed (actually Eric K
pointed it out to me) was the inverse 2x2 green slopes used on the bullfrog. We
were able to locate 2 1x2 green inverse slopes (in the technic barcode truck of
all places! Which only came with 2, and you'd "need" 6 for the frog I think?) I
take it you actually found these somewhere? Out of curiosity... where?

(...) Acutally NO... Thanks for pointing that out. I got confused with the 2x3 inverse greens. OK, I'll call Consumer Affairs again. (They probably won't like that too well) Let's see what they dredge up. Can anyone help with these parts? -Jon (25 years ago, 25-Feb-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.general, lugnet.build)
