(...) I presume it's a case of "if you have to ask, you probably don't have them" but what exactly is a yellow dinghie thingy? I'd hate to find out that I might have 20 yellow dinghie thingies and not even know it. Kerry (24 years ago, 12-Nov-00, to lugnet.org.au)

(...) As in 6451 River Response? (URL) look like Zodiacs (the ones you inflate) to me, not dinghies. I tend to associate a dinghy with a rigid hull, but I guess a Lego Zodiac will have a rigid hull! With 20 Zodiacs, you could do a kind of Greenpeace (...) (24 years ago, 12-Nov-00, to lugnet.org.au)

(...) 5841. I'd love to get a pink zodiak or two, but alas, I suspect everyone who bought 5841s did so partly to get the pink zodiac (I tried ordering one from S@H last year and they didn't have any). (24 years ago, 13-Nov-00, to lugnet.org.au, lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
