Bricklink famously only has "3001" for the 2x4 brick and "3001old" for everything that isn't the modern 2x4, and searching through it is nearly impossible. Ebay is no help either.<br />The best thing to do is find a good, well-travelled Lego forum (I would recommend the Brickset forum) and posting a request (they have a "Buying and Selling" section). That is probably your best bet! Hope that helps!Sampoerna Quatrainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17506560297078377249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522024505631502105.post-67595265214694242722023-07-14T14:18:58.091-07:002023-07-14T14:18:58.091-07:00Where did you go to find the earliest iterations o...Where did you go to find the earliest iterations of the bricks?

Suggestion: please edit this post to link to Part 2 at the bottom?? It's awkward, the link I followed was like "well here's part 2, IT has a link back to part 1"Kirk Ishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605658292036699663noreply@blogger.com
