| | | | | (...) Umm. Why doesn't LEGO make an "Industrial Revolution" theme? It would be a great way to explore a time period they haven't done yet, and the theme's gimmick could be that each set came with a big machine built out of Technic-type pieces. Well. (...)

What's really interesting about these sets is that they are the first time the new "rat" piece has been used outside of the Harry Potter sets... and LEGO must have had a bunch left over, judging by the numbers that seem to come with each of (...)

| | | | | Alrighty then, I got a question. Why do you guys exclude magic from your BrikWar games? Is it too powerful? I understand that the suppliments are broken (?) but I think someone said that you could construct magic from the basic rules (I haven't (...) (23 years ago, 26-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)
