(URL) I thought it might be neat to have a minifig (...) (23 years ago, 11-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug, lugnet.trains.org)

(...) These are all great ideas, everyone - but can I make a small suggestion? If the minifig's face were made more visible, I think people - even non-AFOLs - would be more apt to recognize it as being LEGO. These look like a lot of fun!
