Re: Introducing LEGO Direct —Richard Marchetti

(...) =o0 Wow! Very cool, indeed! Great news -- just wonderful -- not unlike Xmas morning at age 7! Even though I suspect such a greeting here must have been long planned, I cannot help but feel that my earlier message on "Proof of TLG's Concern for (...)

Re: Introducing LEGO Direct —Jonathan Wilson

(...) I concur. Greeks and/or romans, with roman soldiers etc. Just imagine lego doing the greek gods. a lego zuse (how do you spell it?) with a bolt of lightning. mabie a lego minotaur. how about some disvoery of australia type stuff like the (...)

(...) Superheros, (...) favorite (...) scale (...) I'm sorry but I personally would have to respectfully disagree with modelling millatry items on ethical grounds. Modelling classic items maybe. It is one thing I admire about The Lego Group is that (...) (24 years ago, 21-Dec-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)

Re: Introducing LEGO Direct —Mike Stanley

(...) TLC lost its moral high ground on not modelling war toys a LONG time ago. Otherwise we wouldn't have six shooters and rifles (that are essentially the same today as they were a hundred years ago) in the Wild West theme. Spear = sword = musket (...)

Re: Introducing LEGO Direct —Dave Schuler

(...) **snip** (...) Maybe there's no ammunition in the Lego universe, though we still have to deal with the blades and light sabers. And I guess you could make a tank with no ammo... Do you suppose the new, smaller treads on the Arctic sets might (...) (24 years ago, 21-Dec-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)

Re: Introducing LEGO Direct —Mark Herzberg

(...) Minor correction: Those treads are not new. They were featured in the 1999 set 6456 Mission COntrol. (24 years ago, 21-Dec-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)

Re: Introducing LEGO Direct —Dave Schuler

(...) The same size? Cool! I'd love them to be available via a service pack. Dave! (24 years ago, 21-Dec-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)

Re: Introducing LEGO Direct —Scott Edward Sanburn

(...) For what? Rifles, six shooters? Why would you want LEGO ammunition? 1x1 cyl. bricks are great for multiple ammo for various applications. (...) Unless it doesn't use ammo and uses lasers, missiles, etc. (...) I know I am going to use them for (...) (24 years ago, 21-Dec-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)

Re: Introducing LEGO Direct —Gary R. Istok

(...) We (rest of the world) are probably pretty ignorant of what went on in World War II as it relates to Denmark. I wonder what TLC chairman KKK's father (GKC) and grandfather Ole witnessed in the war. Perhaps what they saw when Nazi Germany (...) (24 years ago, 21-Dec-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)

Re: Introducing LEGO Direct —Ray Sanders

(...) I have been thinking along these same lines. One curiosity is the Playmobil set I noticed the other day at a TRU. Playmobil actually made a small Civil War set. I believe it had one soldier from each side, a confederate flag and sevel guns & (...) (24 years ago, 21-Dec-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)

Re: Introducing LEGO Direct —Alex Farlie

(...) These are some feeling in relation to the followups to this message. I belive that The Lego Group should not model war-toys. Some people claim that variou elements within current range go against this, I don't agree. Castle,Adventures, Wild (...) (24 years ago, 23-Dec-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)

Re: Introducing LEGO Direct —Eric Kingsley

(...) Not to sound too harsh but try telling the Native American Indians that the Wild West theme is based on Fiction. What happened to the Native American Indians was very much real and we should not forget that. What I really think you are trying (...) (24 years ago, 23-Dec-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)

Re: Introducing LEGO Direct —Matthew Miller

(...) For what it's worth, when we have kids, Karen and I won't buy Lego sets which have guns in them. And if we do currently get a set which happens to have some, we give them away. Little pointy things on the spaceships are ok. Swords and other (...) (24 years ago, 23-Dec-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)

Re: Introducing LEGO Direct —Gary R. Istok

(...) Since I was the one that brought up the question about whether TLC no war toy policy was possibly based on WWII and the Nazis overrunning Denmark, I wasn't asking for any explanations from the family. First off, KKK was born well after the (...) (24 years ago, 3-Jan-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)
