Hi all

When I am on Bricklink, I am primarily buying pieces for vintage sets.
Is there a good store for vintage pieces that anyone knows of? Or just a store
that notes part variations so you are getting exactly what you want?

Thanks

Mine will be good for that when I reopen. Probably a couple more weeks.

I think the older parts are still listed separately from the new styles. So if
people are using the older entries, then you should be able to find them like
the 3001 special or old. I have a small collection of the older bricks with the
balloon style logo on the studs and no inside supports.

I always try to make distinctions in part variations (you can see several notes
attached to parts in my store inventory)... if you need me to check if I have
any variation in particular, just shoot me a message with specifically what you
are looking for (I'm old, and been collecting LEGO for many years, so I very
familiar with the variations of parts over the years)...

Life is Good.

I know we put variations in for the last merge to keep them separate in the description
box and you can always send stores a message to verify before ordering.

Hi. I have lots of older part variations with comments noted under the part.
I also have several 1970s sets I have not listed yet.

Thank you.
