I thought those were new road plates. I saw them a few days ago but couldn't remember if I'd seen them before. The strange thing is they are only shown with the Creator sets. If you look under City you'll see the older road plates. I need some T (...) (22 years ago, 29-Aug-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Forwarding this for exposure. I like these new road plates... The roads are black with a new design that makes them appear wider. (To bad NELUG already owns a couple hundred baseplates...)

Interesting. So...how to deal with the new plates... Actually, I have been noticing in "real-life" how roads with pavement over a year or two old tends to be sunbleached to a light gray similar to the old style Lego plates. Only the newest of (...)
