Here are the first few questions

Colors:

A:
Jake is answering the color qiuestion: We had to (see text) but we did not
communicate right. They are NOT coming back. but...

we are going to try to produce some old colors in bulk... 10000 bags of each of
several SKUa and when they are gone they are gone.

Q: mosaics"
A: everything produced in 2004 will be new.

Q:Jason Krish: CC: Would any (new) Classic Space/Castle Legends be with the old
or new light grey??
A: New production, new gray

Q: Nik Pieniazek: Skin tones, saw them in HP? The brickswest Q&A said only real
people get skin tones...
A: yes, HP has skin tones... we thought long and hard about this at NBA time...
We do not yellow to mean white. We want it to be generic. So ANY thing with a
real person, or a character will be flesh tone... but alpha team and world city
will be skin tones... duplo has had skin tones, remember.

Q: Chris Giddens: AIM: Is Lego continuing it's relationship with Nasa, and is
SPACE (pause... wait for it) coming back?
A: Tormud: we are not sure about NASA, we hope so... maybe.

(...) One thing to add to this, Jake passed around a couple of the new Harry Potter minifigs. This was the extent of the "new set revealing" that was done.

(...) Well, at least we'll all have a chance to get at those 10,000 bags. One question I've been wondering of and no mention was made of it(?) was what will happen to 9V track? Will they also be of the "when they are gone they are gone"? Adr. (20 years ago, 16-Feb-04, to lugnet.events.brickfest)
