I was using Lego Digital Designer and am disappointed the downhill availabilty
of certain important parts to build "buyable" models.
I would like to see a return of "warehouse" sliding doors to make
box cars.
Train-style doors would also be nice as well as train windows (both in
2x3 and 4x3)... please.
I looked at the instructions to build a mail car from the 7722, and
found that I really only need 2 red sliding rail doors, the pair of
"decorated train doors" and a set of two 2x3 thin yellow train
windows.
Yes, there was a bit of minor substitution but it is mostly distiguishable
as the model.
Here is what it looks like:

Yeah I know... where are the f-in doors???

I tried a version of this last year with my advent calendar for my
niece. She got the big castle set (in 24 sections) with a princess
added in one of the two towers. It was quite popular, but I can't say
for sure that it wouldn't have been popular, even without the princess.
Play well,

I agree, this is an excellent suggestion, and in fact it is a mystery to me that
they are not doing it already. A few carefully designed specialised parts would
almost certainly increase the mass appeal of such sets. While making tracks
with existing parts is of course possible, it can be quite tricky and time
consuming. It would be very natural to have something that could be snapped
together with less fuss...

Wow - that's amazing, congratulations! I (and I expect others) would be very
glad to see some close-up photos showing exactly how your construction works...

I got the latest BrickMaster set today, a mini-scale Atlantis submarine. It has
a Christmas present inside: two red 1x3 tiles!
Yes, you read that right: 1x3 tiles.
Tiles. Three studs long, one stud wide. And red.
The instructions list them as part 4533742, and the number molded into their
underside is 63864.
Thanks, LEGO Group!

Per this
Flickr photo posting, does anyone know who the new Lego Ambassador ‘David
Furphy’ from Australia is and what his group ‘CALG’ is?
Could someone at TLG please look into this?
Thank you.

Dear LEGO,
While out shopping for some new LEGO Collectible pens, I came across these:
This surprised me because on the hang card of the Belville pen P2171 shown below
produced by the same company (Stylus) it states, “...the knob configuration (and
the minfigure) are trademarks of the LEGO Group.” I’ve looked carefully at
these pens and I can tell you all the beads as well as the pen parts themselves
are identical in design. Any AFOL would recognize one of the bead shapes as
taken from a minifig head.
These items are also identical in design (although now they seem to be more
cheaply made) to the parts from the old collectible pens produced by the CDM
Company for TLG.
Have you sold your designs to the Stylus Company or allowed them to be used on
Disney brand items? If so, I am disappointed. Part of the fun of collecting
these pens was that they were exclusively LEGO pens. If not, maybe you should
check into this to see if they haven’t stolen your design.
Best regards,
Maggie Cambron

For the people that want to build one with their own (or bricklink) LEGO:
http://www.ministickers.nl/ now offers a stickersheet that is a reproduction
of the original one.
|
Has anyone bought any of these reproduction stickers? What is the quality
like and is this guy good to deal with? I seem to be having difficulty trying
to reach him by email. Cheers.
|
The email server had problems for a while. I’m not sure about the intentions of
mister Burke, he asked information, even placed an order but did not hear from
him again after explaining the problems that we had.
Site is working correctly now again. Sorry for others that experienced problems.
You can always send an email to me of course (ministickers@gmail.com) if you
have questions.
Greetings Johan
p.s. I do it together with my cousin and my (handicapped) brother, both are not
very affluent in English so that also might cause some confusion now and then
but most of the times we are very quick and at last everything works out fine.

I second everything that has been said about this set: It’s too good to be
limited to an exclusive group of commercial customers. Make this thing
public, and if Vestas objects (why on Earth should they?), paste a fantasy
brand on the turbine. That’s certainly the least effort there might be to
scoring an instant hit in the market.

Over at the LEGO Ambassador forums, we have been actively discussing this set
and are as excited about it as all of you are. It is unclear from the
information presently available whether this set will ever be released to the
public. However, Steve Witt (of TLG) suggests that we collect all of the
feedback supporting this set so that we can deliver it to the LEGO City team
and show them that this Windmill (and sets like it) are the sort of thing we
want to see from City.
So, if you like this set (and seriously, who doesn’t?!), please reply in this
thread affirming your point of view, and we’ll make sure that the feedback
gets passed back up the Ambassadorial chain.

Not really at #4999 VESTAS Wind Turbine, but a new 2009 set: #7747 Wind Turbine
Transport -. This appears to be non-motorized and smaller version. At least
someone at the LEGO Group, Inc. was listening.
