| | Interesting question...
|
|
Now that we are seing more "custom" parts being made (for example the Starwars weapons, the Castle accessories and the Train wheels), it raises an important question... are these "Lego"? For example, if I use them, am I no-longer a purist? Does (...) (21 years ago, 11-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.trains, lugnet.castle, lugnet.cad)

Ben kindly sent to me 6 of his BBB brand wheels. Thanks, Ben! I've tinkered with them a little.

(...) I think a "set" would be the minimum amount, say 4. If I were Ben, I'd charge $14 for a set of 4, or $24 for a set of 8. But your points are well taken: true LTDs (LEGO Train Dudes) would purchase multiple sets in various colors:-) JOHN (21 years ago, 10-Nov-03, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
