As long as Imagination and Creativity exist so will Lego

I prefer to work with LEGO as the quality is guaranteed, if there is a problem I
can easily and quickly solve it by communicating with a company I know will be
happy to help. So, that's why I think LEGO as a brand is so strong and should
remain so for a long while. I enjoy sending in entries on LEGO Ideas, even
though I wish to receive feedback on my ideas.
As long as imagination and creativity exists, and we spread it on Lego Ideas, so
will Lego.

But what's the real problem with Lego Ideas??
The majority of project proposals, and those are ugly stuff made by kids. You
certainly can't blame Lego for not rejecting stuff made by their #1 target, and
I don't think they should. But it's the way it is, the vast majority of Lego
Ideas entries are ugly pointless builds (-probably-) made by 10 year olds. I
don't enjoy browsing them but imagine yourself as a 10 year old who's proud of
his build, you don't want to see it rejected because it's crap. Can't TLG find a
solution for this, filter the entries perhaps?

HEY All,

<3 LEGO <3

We are two flourishing LEGO FANS who have decided to dedicate our Thesis
research to an extensive study of the LEGO user's impressions on the LEGO Ideas
platform and the fan contribution to TLG - basically on all of you!! :)

SO, we would like to ask you 3 brief questions, which will be used as
qualitative data in our thesis.

1. How and why has the LEGO Ideas changed your perception on LEGO?

2. What would it take for you to feel alienated by LEGO in terms of their new
ideas for co-creation? Or can LEGO do no wrong?

3. Would you say that LEGO co-creation with fans have made you more loyal to the
brand? How?


THANK YOU for any comments and responses!

AND if ANY of you would like to help us even more - we would like to set up a
skype-chat / informal interview with you, it will take no more than 10-15
minutes of your time! THANK YOU

Hello everyone,

This is an old topic but I need your help.

I acquired the set 9731 LM Vision Command without the original software and I
can't found the English version for WinXP nowhere. At BrickLink, only other
languages are on sale for WinXP.

Can someone share the installation CD in English of LEGO Mindstorms Vision
Command for Windows XP or where can I download the software in English??

Any help appreciated...

Alberto Santos

I have it. Will duplicate it and post it on Drop Box.

Well I can announce it finally.... :-)

This thread....

http://news.lugnet.com/general/?n=56284

I am writing a 9 volume LEGO Encyclopedia that involves 6 Volumes (450 pages
each) on LEGO sets from day 1 of 1949 thru 2017.  Most of this info for the
earlier years is from my 2800 page LEGO Collectors Guide (2800 pages available
formerly as a DVD and now only as a computer desktop download).

Also included will be 3 additional 350 page volumes that I label A, B and C...
which have rare LEGO parts (A), LEGO early toys (B), and LEGO retailer display
and glued display models (C).

There's good news and bad news about this though... the bad news is that the
first country to get the 9 volume books will be China... they are currently
gettting translated into Chinese as I finish the volumes (1-3 are completed, and
of the remaining 6... 2 1/2 are already done).

The good news is that I am updating my online version (available as a computer
desktop download)... and that will probably go to over 3500 pages when
completed.  The online version of my guide will only be a fraction of the cost
of the paper volumes when completed.  As I said, right now China is working on
translating it to simplified Chinese... and other countries are currently
negotiating for translations.  The English version won't require translations,
since it was written in that language.  But that is still a ways away from being
produced.

But anyway... for those of you who have my online guide... you will be getting
all future updates found in the 9 volumes... for FREE.  :)  And I can still
offer the current guide (with future free updates) for those who will be
interested in a desktop version (only $29.95, a fraction of the book costs).

Here are the Encyclopedia volumes... (note 5 and 6 are still not firm for
start/end dates)....

Volume "A"...

Volume "B"...

Volume "C"...
https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2816/33131716683_0545b4fc65_b.jpg

As I had mentioned, my online version of these guides will be free for those who
already bought my online guide (10-15 min. to download)... with free future
updates to add the remaining volumes of data to the 73 chapters already done).
For info on that, see Lugnet.Marketplace for price and link.

My publicists is already telling me to stop selling the online guide to current
collectors, but I'm holding off a bit...  But once it's a closed edition, the
online guide with future updates will only be available to current owners of the
guide, even though it will be a closed edition.

Thanks to all my friends!  :)

Hi, Does anybody know of any books on Vision Command at all.  Especially any
books at the level of David Baum's or Bagnall's on Mindstorms.  I am really
interested in detailed image processing with VC.

Thanks, Jon


I am working on a program that posterizes an image. Can you do this with
theThreshold, MorphOpen, MorphClose, MorphProperOpen, MorphProperClose,
MorphThin and Invert commands in RoboLab?

Using RCX bricks and RoboLab 2.94, in many ways is like being stranded on Mars
and this is all there is, which is everything. There is plenty of time until the
next spaceship arrives since contacting Earth depends on making this software
and hardware work. The first space shuttle used a software and hardware that was
more primitive than RCX bricks and RoboLab 2.94. The goal is to surf the
Internet for a paintable image, change it into nine colors of blobs and print it
by melting oil pastels on metal.
