(...) Hate to disagree but the blue section looks flat to me, the raised part on the left of the 'water' looks like it is the same height right to the back of the blue area. Also if you look closely the blue area has Lego pips on it which sloping (...) (25 years ago, 9-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general, lugnet.pirates)

I am getting a really good picture of those Minitalia windows... it's making my pupils dilate! So, I have the new white 2x1x2 to stack in different ways, but no white 1x3x4 door, only red. The 1x3x2 would sure solve the width but I like the x4 too (...) (25 years ago, 9-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general)

Erik, Yeah I guess most folks wouldn't remember the 50's (I have so few memories myself :-) , but the current window assortment just doesn't give AFOL's enough windows to build with.

Hi Gary, not all of us can "remember" facts about 1957-1973, but I digress (hey.. my first Lego memory was in 1976 when I built a prairie. You know, the thing that boats tie up to on a lake. I wanted to put a little house on it but I really never (...) (25 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general)

The age of the main character does go up by one for each book, though, because each book is about one year in Harry's life. He was 9 in (...)

Weren't these supposed to be part of the 2001 line? Are they moved to 2002, or just later in 2001? I can't get myself to like the books, but the theme does seem promising.

Then from 1974-77 it was 1 door = 4 bricks high with those minifig stiffs. And (...) (25 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general)

If Gary Istok builds only to the 60s Town Plan scale, the minifig generation will then appreciate his viewpoint! However, Alpha Team has minifigs. Star Wars has minifigs. (25 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general)

I think Lego will slowly raise the size of adult minifigures, so by the time Harry Potter comes out, they'll have the normal minifigs to use as children. I Pray not.
