It's part number 749, "Container Side Bags"

Anyone know the part number for the camel saddle? The flickr note says it's a "Fabuland saddle" but I'm having a hard time finding anything on Bricklink.

Very nice blog. Now in my reader too!

I don't remember where I've seen it before, but if you arrange the sheet with contrasting colors (like a checkerboard), you can produce a nice 'hounds-tooth' pattern that would look nice in a throne-room floor.

Svelte's comment concerns me: Like the 10193 Medieval Market Village before it, the January 2010 Exclusive slot comes as a theme-killing extravaganza, an end-of-world party to beat all others: the enormous 10210 Imperial Flagship is a behemoth unlike anything that has gone before it, and it will be ...

Good idea! I never thought to contact Lego. I will indeed keep the brown pieces. They just may come in handy!

I just picked up the Dwarves' Mine and there are no copper-coated pieces in it! They are only reddish-brown. I noticed that in the Burlington Massachusetts Lego Store's display model of the Troll's Mountain Fortress that pieces like the king's crown were not copper either (though it looks like in al...
