(...) Actually, I also called you "crazy Kerry" -- but I meant it in a friendly way. I call everyone here a "lugnut" including myself (for reasons that should be obvious). If you buy lego as an adult I should think being called a "nut" is just par (...) (23 years ago, 1-Oct-01, to lugnet.reviews)

(...) I've kind of noticed this trend over the last 6-12 months, and I'm not sure if I'm alarmed by it or not... More and more I'll find very interesting posts in the lugnet.loc.* and lugnet.org.* groups that really "belong" (or I should say "would (...)

Thanks for the review and comparison. I've been considering getting a 6085, and I've also been keeping a wary eye on 6091 if I can find it at extreme discount. Anyway, I found your comments helpful. If you (or anyone) can make a comparison of the (...) (23 years ago, 1-Oct-01, to lugnet.reviews)

(...) Why bother? All you get is abuse if you do. I observe that in the opinion of Richard Marchetti, I am a "nut" for having the audacity to compare the two sets. At least if you post reviews in loc.au, you don't get abused for having written it. (...) (23 years ago, 1-Oct-01, to lugnet.reviews)

I just finished building the 6085 Black Monarch's Castle and I was most impressed. This is an older set (1988) that I got on ebay and was definitely worth getting. I'm surprised it doesn't get more rave reviews in the notes on lugnet: (URL) also (...) (23 years ago, 1-Oct-01, to lugnet.reviews)

(...) Yeah, crazy Kerry should have done this to begin with... ...what a nut to have compared these two sets anyway! As if these sets even came close to one another. I built and returned a 6091 that was missing some pieces (the earliest sets in the (...) (23 years ago, 1-Oct-01, to lugnet.reviews)

Sorry I meant set 6375 (Gas Station) from 1980. It would be fun to modernize that one with a food store, car wash and tire shop while keeping the style, oh yes... (...) (23 years ago, 14-Aug-01, to lugnet.town, lugnet.reviews)

Brad Hamilton has fairly reviewed these sets, but I had such a positive reaction to them I wanted to make a review. These sets are actually models built from bricks and plates. The presence of the original Shell sticker from 1980 makes me imagine (...) (23 years ago, 14-Aug-01, to lugnet.town, lugnet.reviews)
