(...) Here's an example of how limiting the 1x4x3 poops are compared to 1x4s: if you had one 2 1x4x3 bricks, you have 24 possible combonations. If you have six 1x4s, you have 102,081,500 possible combonations. Incredible. Alan (25 years ago, 20-May-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) If I was playing the devil's advocate, I would say that this train of thought suggests that there should be no bricks, only plates. After all, according to your math, there are only 24 ways to combine to 1x4 bricks, but there are 102,081,500 (...) (25 years ago, 20-May-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I didn't realise there was a 1x4x3 brick (!!). I've only seen thinwalls and windows of that dimension; the thinwalls, of course, don't count as POOPs, because they perform a service that cannot be rendered with standard bricks--namely, making (...)

(...) This raises an interesting point. Let's take, for example, some of the rock-patterned slopes on Ninja sets. If Lego gave you 20 preprinted slopes with which to make that shape, people would be whining day and night about having so many (...) (25 years ago, 20-May-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) What I meant was that it might be great for a Ninja set, but the utility of those preprinted parts ends there. You can't use them in Space, Town (for the most part), or anything nautical like Hydronauts or boats. Using them would be akin to (...) (25 years ago, 20-May-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Slopes with rock patterns? Those would be so great! Any time a sloped rock wall was needed, they could be employed. I've built a Divers display (nothing fancy, just the 'official' models with some extra background), with a pier made out of (...) (25 years ago, 22-May-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) You make a good point, but I don't think that I agree with you. I wouldn't use the 20 said bricks in all my building projects involving slopes, but I would use them in some, as I felt appropriate. I would rather have 20 preprinted slopes that (...)
