    Re: here comes the next wave of 2001 sets... —Erik Olson
   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. (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general)
   
        Re: here comes the next wave of 2001 sets... —Eng Wee Lean
     Erick Olson, I believe there is some special reasons of no town set in year 2001. Therefore, I express my viewpoint to all of fans. Hopefully, they may pay attention. Best regards, Wee Lean (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general)
   
        Re: here comes the next wave of 2001 sets... —Gary Istok
    (...) Thanks Erik. For the sake of all you folks out there I hope they don't change the scale of LEGO again. Just remember from 1957-73 it was 1 door = 3 bricks high. Then from 1974-77 it was 1 door = 4 bricks high with those minifig stiffs. And (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general)
   
        Re: here comes the next wave of 2001 sets... —Erik Olson
   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 (...) (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general)
   
        Re: here comes the next wave of 2001 sets... —Gary Istok
   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. I don't know what TLC's fixation with doors is all about. They (...) (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general)
   
        Re: here comes the next wave of 2001 sets... —Erik Olson
     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 (...) (24 years ago, 9-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general)
    
         Re: here comes the next wave of 2001 sets... —Gary Istok
     I too thought the 375 castle was the last set with the 1x1x1 windows, but then I remembered that there was a parts pack (in the lugnet database) #836, which came out in 1982, and had the large modern (4 lights) door, the 70's 1x3x4 door, the modern (...)

        Greek Mask Question (was Re: here comes the next wave of 2001 sets...) —Richard Marchetti
   Mr. Istok: Since you have a pair of the better educated eyes on the subject, what scale do you imagine this green greek-style pop-eyed mask to be? The direct link should be here: (URL) would be so great to have this mask in minifig scale AND in gold (...) (24 years ago, 11-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general)
