31. Re: Would a Lego monk minifigure be considered too religious?

    

    Comment by TyoSolo · April 2013 · Home› Everything else LEGO

    Yeah. Sorry. I was just yanking your chain. What I meant was that they have "touched" on religion, albeit very discreetly. I was surprised there wasn't a monk in the Forestmen theme to be honest, and I always assumed as a child (wrongly) that the hooded minifig in #1974 was Friar Tuck.

32. For Sale: Classic LEGO Lot: 50+ sets, including classic space, black falcons, town, train, etc.

    

    Discussion by brickupdate · April 2014 · Home› Marketplace

    This is a large lot of classic LEGO sets from the late 1980's and the very early 1990's. I bought this collection from a single owner, and have only partially sorted it. Some LEGO I have cleaned some I haven't. When I bought them, the sets were mostly all still put together, and as I sorted through some of them to match…

33. Re: Lego "Scale"?

    

    

    Comment by Istokg · December 2015 · Home› Building and Techniques

    Prior to 1978 when minifigs were introduced... the LEGO scale was 1:87 (or HO scale)... this was mainly from 1955-73. Then from 1974-77 there was a variable scale somewhere between 1:87 and 1:40. The 1:87 Town Plan Scale of 1955-73.

34. Re: LEGO moving North American headquarters to Boston

    

    Comment by Istokg · February 1 · Home› Everything else LEGO

    The Enfield-to-Boston relocation of LEGO USA reminds me of the story behind LEGO GmbH German relocation from Hohenwestedt (starting in 1956) to Munich in 1999. LEGO GmbH was located in the small town of Hohenwestedt near the Danish border in 1956, when LEGO was only sold in 4 countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Germany).…

    As 1974 said, that feature is already implemented. Just go to your settings on Eurobricks, click "'Ignore' Preferences", and check the little box that says "Ignore all signatures while reading topics". You can also ignore individual users' signatures in this way if there's just a handful you find particularly offensive to…

37. Re: Early LEGO Pricelists

    

    

    Comment by MrTjips · April 2015 · Home› Everything else LEGO

    The last prices I found in a Dutch catalog was for the one of 1974. I don't have one for 1975 but I do have a German version and in that year no prices were given. I do have three pricelists of 1973: Dutch (prices in Guilders) Belgium (prices in Francs, languages Dutch and French) Portugal (prices in Escudos)

38. Re: Quality issues / broken parts

    

    Comment by VorpalRyu · February 2016 · Home› Collecting

    In my older sets (1974-1994), both Plate 1x2 with Handles & Plate 1x1 with Clip were pretty flimsy, trying to remove Antenna 1x4s inserted in clips or Brick Round 1x1 Open Studs pushed onto the handles often broke, even for the most light handed of individuals. So, there have been issues before now.

39. Billund LEGO Souvenir Sets...

    

    

    Discussion by Istokg · February 2015 · Home› Collecting

    Starting in the 1950s the folks at TLG gave out small souvenir sets for visitors to Billund. Of course they are not as nice and expensively exclusive as the Inside Tour sets available to visitors today. Possibly the earliest souvenir set from TLG was a 1958-63 era tiny set that fit nicely into one of the LEGO spare parts…

40. Borg-Warner also produced LEGO plastic for USA/Canada... as well as Britain (Grangemouth).

    

    Discussion by Istokg · May 2016 · Home› Collecting

    Well it seems that Borg-Warner Chemicals not only produced the plastic for British LEGO Ltd. (via their Grangemouth Scotland plant), but that USA Borg-Warner produced Samsonite LEGO with both ABS and Polycarbonate plastics for the LEGO parts on this side of the pond. Borg-Warner is a USA based company (now HQ'ed about 30…
