51. Re: For the girls!

    

    Comment by MichaelSmith · December 2016 · Home› Everything else LEGO

    Was looking through Brickset's catalogue scans and came across this - a catalogue aimed at girls from 1974. It contains the often posted back page text advocating gender neutrality in Lego play (which when posted has always been presented by itself). So that does confirm the page exists and wasn't a photoshop mockup, but…

    Thank you. I was out of parts, and went back today to Toy PLanet to finish, but didnt see this till now!! gggrrr, my fault for not looking. I will see if I can get the 3x1 slope and do as you suggest, but, I did come up with this, which works sort of, as well, but Id get more lines of the wheel arch with your suggestion.…

    @cdarroch .... thanks for the great anecdotes!! It's stories like these that help fill in the blanks about "LEGO Mayhem"!! Based on what I saw with those flags (a picture does say a thousand words)... here is what I see as the 939 and 940 1973-79 Spare Parts Pack worldwide distribution (these were never sold in the…

    @davee123 What you are describing is clearly the modern standard, ie 1998 and later. If the box dates were the true standard we wouldn't be talking about this right now. The mid 90s seem to be ok and people's memories aren't too faded. Early 90s starts to see some regional difference that are causing problems. By the time…

 Um... well I have over 50 years of collecting experience, so I am very knowledgeable about LEGO history. Homemaker was indeed intended for girls. Besides the following images, I have had extensive discussions with the LEGO Archives/Collections folks in Denmark, (when I was working on my 2800 page Unofficial LEGO…

56. Re: The largest assembly of LEGO Display Models....

    

    

    Comment by Istokg · May 2015 · Home› Collecting

    One of the coolest LEGO models was the 0751 REGINA MAERSK ship... modeled after the very first Maersk blue hulled ship that the Møller-Maersk Corp. ever built in 1954-55. In 1959 TLG made a glued display model of this ship using just regular blue parts, and sold it to LEGO retailers in 1959-60. The image of the ship in the…

57. Re: How picky are you about the condition of the Legos you use for your MOCs?

    

    Comment by peterlinddk · April 2013 · Home› Building and Techniques

    I have sorted my bricks according to age - old pat.pend. bricks (from before 1974) are in their own boxes, and I don't use them for MOCs. Bricks from the 1970s, without pat.pend., but with spruce-marks are in separate containers, and only used for inner structures in my MOCs. All other bricks are considered new(ish) and…

58. Re: Classic Space- uniform colour meanings?

    

    Comment by Oldfan · August 2015 · Home› Everything else LEGO

    In my little Classic Space world, here is how the colors broke down: Red = Pilots/Air Crew, White = Drivers/Ground Crew, Yellow = Generalists, Blue = Science Officers, and Black = Command. I devised these rules based roughly on the frequency with which the various colors appeared throughout the line (Black was the most…

59. Re: What Are Your LEGO-Related Goals For 2015?

    

    Comment by LusiferSam · January 2015 · Home› Everything else LEGO

    Wonderful thread. Here are mine that I can currently think of. 1. Finish the reorganization of my instructions. This is a project I started a while ago and just haven't been working on. The way I'm currently storing and organizing my instructions isn't working and needs an update. I have a plan, but just need to follow…

    Sorry about the delay, I had a lot of thoughts I needed to organize for this. This is a longer than normal post for, There maybe missed typos, misspellings or bad grammar, I’ll apologize for that now. I’m going to define a couple of things. First, Value Packs are single theme sets that are comprised of two or more…
