Interesting and tough words, however, this is the same mentality that England had in the days when people like Robin Hood had to be the "social programs". If you eliminate government, after having a democracy for so long, it would be a disaster. I (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics)

Well, I only have one thing to say.

(...) The earlier RIS sets included a parts list. You can verify against that list. LEGO has a very good reputation for correcting this type of problem via their customer service line. Don't know what that is in Switzerland, though. (24 years ago, 13-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics)
