    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.…

    I don't think I've seen anywhere it was because of their limited color palette. However, I agree that it makes a lot of sense when you think about it. I don't remember where the story was relayed to us-- I want to say that it was at a BrickFest Q&A with LEGO, but I could be wrong. And certainly, it was within their means…

    @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…

    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…

76. 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…

    Comment by BrickDancer · August 2014 · Home› Collecting

    I do not think it is fair to say that Lego has not considered or analyzed girls before. It is obvious that they have and have valiantly tried to cater to the little ladies over the decades. They just haven't got good traction until the Friends line really honed in on what girls like (the color pink, themes of shopping,…

    Comment by Istokg · May 2012 · Home› Collecting

    @Jpeg Thanks, missed the Brickshelf comments.... Samsonite of Canada did some pretty strange things at times... like numbering 2 sets with the same number at the same time (the #6002 Town Minifigs and #6002 Castle Minifigs sets) during those same early 1980s years. But what really has me loopy is this image below from a…

    The long awaited combined LEGO CD Volumes I & II is now in its' final phase... no new additions (there's nothing much left to add ) ... I think I have it all.... (not really, but I like to think so!). The CDs will be going out to be pressed about Jan 12, and shipping should start a week to 10 days later. For those who…

    Comment by Istokg · July 2011 · Home› Collecting

    TLG always seems to have had problems with at least some parts. From 1970-74 TLG made those very nice looking granulated trees and bushes... but likely to their horror kids were chewing the green granules off the foliage, and that was a shortlived product. Too bad... they were much nicer that the conical (1974) and…
